It is better that they do so with a condom and learn how to properly use one than to be told that sex is evil until you're married. Abstinence is chosen by many. As is the choice to engage in sexual relations before marriage. I respect each belief and [I] do not value one over the other.

Doublethink?

No. I should perhaps clarify what i am saying: The above applies to teens who are already engaging in sex or are planning on doing so. Telling them that they should be abstinent is counter-productive if information on how to be somewhat safe when it comes to having sex is not provided as well. They will not care if they plan on engaging in sex anyway.
