Meet Jocelyn Elders:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joycelyn_Elders#Comments_on_abortion_and_masturbation
"In January 1994 in the context of abortion, Elders said, "We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children."[9]
Later that year, she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, "As per your specific question in regard to masturbation, I think that is something that is a part of human sexuality and it's a part of something that perhaps should be taught. But we've not even taught our children the very basics. And I feel that we have tried ignorance for a very long time and it's time we try education."[15]
