Condom Education and Access for Teens
The WSMA urges families, schools, the media and others in positions of
authority to teach the value of abstinence from premature sex through
programs that teach sexual abstinence, self-discipline and responsible
attitudes toward sexuality, together with refusal skills to cope with peer
pressure and endorses comprehensive education which reduces the risks for
unwanted pregnancy and sexually-transmitted disease, including the proper
use of condoms for all who are sexually active. (Res 9, A-92) (Reaffirmed
