Mary Calderone and Wardell Pomeroy founded SIECUS (Sex Information and Education Council of the United States) in 1964 to pioneer sex education, especially for teens. Its mission was to provide accurate information about sex and to promote positive attitudes towards sexuality. The organization played a crucial role in promoting comprehensive sex education in schools and advocating for reproductive rights. While SIECUS did not directly abolish sex preselection tests, it did advocate for reproductive autonomy and the right to make informed decisions about one's own body. SIECUS also did not revolt against the use of contraception but instead worked to provide education on contraceptive options. Finally, SIECUS supported the legalization of LGBT rights, including the legalization of gay marriage.
