Absolutely it should.
Young people should be taught that sex has consequences, one of which is pregnancy. Teenagers are ill-equipped to handle pregnancy, childbirth, and child-raising, and should therefore learn how to avoid becoming pregnant.
The best way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence - it is the only 100% effective method. But it's not the only way - condoms used properly are very effective, as are diaphragms and birth control pills.
Young people should also be taught about STD's, and the fact that the only two ways to protect against STD's is abstinence and condoms.
And young people should be taught about pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a baby, so that if they do choose to reproduce, they know what to expect.
