This is a bit longish, but well worth wrapping our minds around and understanding the specific policy recommendations at the end so we can make specific demands of our legislators. An important article by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse.

The government can’t practically ban everything that is bad, only the worst things. Most of the onus for living right in a free society is on people’s personal morality. Even though they could in principle get contraceptives with an eye to using them for intercourse while unmarried, a moral populace would refuse to do it.

Birth control must be available to minors over the age of puberty. The states cannot adopt their own policies about how and whether to promote sexual relations among unmarried teens. This policy has embedded within it the highly dubious empirical claim that making artificial birth control available promotes health and prevents unwed teen pregnancy more effectively than other policies which are less favored by the government. Such policies might include promoting the confinement of sexual activity to marriage, teaching the natural rhythms of the body, or providing teens with non-sexual activities to fill their time.

"must be available"

By law that means the providers are engaging in criminal conspiracy to further the crime of statutory rape.

Until we CHANGE the age of consent laws, such interaction between a government official and a minor under the age of consent is purely an offense corrupting a minor. SEICUS' sex positive agenda (make it with anyone, anywhere, anytime regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s)) be damned.
