Yes, that is the original purpose of condoms, to prevent pregnancy, which they usually do (although the reliability of condoms is not 100%); they also prevent the spread of sexually transmitted disease.

Condoms provide a barrier type of protection during sex. It helps to prevent an exchange of body fluids. However they must be used properly, placed on an erect penis prior to any contact and removed from the partner's body immediately to prevent the condom from slipping off
Yes, very well too.

BUT they also break, so protection cant be rated at 100%

Yes as long as they are put on properly and they don't break before you are finished with them. It is certainly the most reliable way to stop a pregnancy there is. not to mention reducing the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

The condom is a barrier/wall that keep blood, semen, or vaginal fluids from passing from one person to the other during intercourse. The fluids can harbour HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). If no condom is used, the germs can pass from the infected partner to the uninfected partner.

Not always, because sometimes they break, rip, or tear. They are not 100% but it does lower the risk of pregnancy.

No, it would never prevent the MILLIONS of sperm that a man ejaculates. It does help though.

Do condoms cause birth defects?

Absolutely not. Condoms are intended to prevent pregnancy (and transmittal of diseases). If they fail as a contraceptive, there is no indication that they have any effect on the pregnancy themselves. In fact, if they fail to prevent a pregnancy they may still act to prevent disease - which can frequently be the cause of birth illnesses or problems. Hence if anything, condoms act to prevent defects.
