If not for the STD disclaimer, I would swear it was a half-assed attempt at slut-shaming.

The ad has been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle. In fact, Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, a group that “promotes pro-choice & pro-family planning policies,” actually thought the ad was a parody created by opponents of Obamacare:

I'm all in favor of anything that works when it comes to getting young people on-board with the ACA, and if this over-the-top take on its benefits works, then GREAT! If it happens to cause a good deal of consternation and gnashing of teeth among teabaggers, BONUS!
