Sen. Ayotte's campaign hands out condoms at college campus

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte's campaign is highlighting a birth control bill she sponsored by handing out free condoms on a New Hampshire college campus.

The campaign recently distributed signs to students promoting her campaign that say "FREE CONDOMS" in bold letters. The signs are being set up next to tables where potential voters can pick up information about the candidate. They explain that the condoms are part of Ayotte's efforts to make birth control available over-the-counter. They also urge takers to "Use Condom Sense!"

Ayotte is a first-term senator running for re-election against Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan (HAS'-uhn).

Last year, Ayotte sponsored a bill that would provide incentives for birth control manufacturers to file with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to move their products over-the-counter.
