As a member of both The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Mormons for Agency, I stand with Planned Parenthood in designing CTR-branded condoms to offer in our communities.

Church policy allows for family planning and birth control in all forms. Mormons for Agency advocates that comprehensive sex education, including discussions on consent, should be taught side by side with the law of chastity. Without a true knowledge of all things, we cannot fully exercise our free agency.
