Would I give my teen something that could very well save his/her life that costs less than buying a can of pop?
Me too.

It depends what you mean by "give." Would I run out and buy them and then leave the condoms in their rooms without a discussion? Nope. But I would certainly pay for them, go with them to the drugstore, or whatever is needed. Providing condoms should involve a conversation about sex, emotion, and values. And if my kids think they're mature enough to be in a sexual relationship, then they should be mature enough to talk about their choice (or at least listen to my lecture)

Absolutely!
You've hit on something that I think is just as important (if not more so) as the age at which a teen becomes sexually active - the level of committment in the relationship.
