They were wrong.
Short of locking them up around the clock, you literally can't stop teens from having sex if they want to. And if you withhold access to contraception, you're going to end up with a lot more pregnant teens.
I started having sex at fourteen. If I hadn't had access to contraception, it wouldn't have stopped me from having sex. But it would almost certainly have resulted in one or more teen pregnancies.
If you’re looking for a way to make a bad situation worse, you've picked a great way to do it.
