Isn't the hotter issue confidentiality and access to contraceptives?
Myspace aside (I believe teens don't have absolute rights to privacy in that regard), I believe teens deserve a certain amount of privacy in issues of birth control and access to the essentials for practicing safe sex.
The foremost problem I see is when a parent's belief system would trump reason when it comes to this sort of thing. The role of public health is a wider matter related to this.
