So a 16 year old guy shouldn't be able to buy condoms and a 16 year old girl shouldn't be able to buy the sponge without parental knowledge (unless they have been abused by that parent)?

No need to buy them, the same state that requires parental permission for students to partake of aspirin in school hands out condoms and facilitates abortions. You do understand the difference between the two don't you?

I can understand why you sidestepped answering my question, since it is rather hard to defend being against allowing a 17 year old to buy a condom without parental permission. Especially since such a thing would likely lead to a rise in abortions.
