er question, but it's not my place to make moral judgments.

I have one concern: giving teens -- the millions who are already having sex and the ones who are considering it -- the information they need right now to stay healthy and avoid pregnancy. Teens are at highest risk for catching diseases that could either ruin their ability to have babies or kill them altogether.

Yes, it makes good sense to tell them why postponing sex is a fine alternative to "going all the way." But the millions who don't choose that alternative, for whatever reason, deserve the information they need to avoid pregnancy and to stay healthy. These kids have real questions about sex. Those questions must be answered.
