You might want to consider the source. These are not unbiased pediatricians providing a professional opinion.

In 2002, the American Academy of Pediatrics, an association of 60,000 pediatricians, voted to adopt a position in support of gay parents. Six pediatricians who opposed this policy on religious grounds rallied like-minded friends and, on October 19th, about 15 people founded the American College of Pediatricians. It would be accurate to describe this organization as a vehicle through which a small minority of anti-gay doctors advocate in opposition to gay rights, abortion rights, and euthanasia.

Number two of its eight core value says it all.
2) Recognizes that good medical science cannot exist in a moral vacuum and pledges to promote such science.
How often has history shown that when morality intrudes into the scientific realm, good science is dismissed at best or persecuted at worst?

6) Recognizes the physical and emotional benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage and pledges to promote this behavior as the ideal for adolescence.
When are people like this going to come out of the dark ages and realize saying sex and marriage are mutually inclusive is unrealistic and actually unnatural? There is nothing wrong with responsibility but in my opinion abstinence only is asinine. Trying to force children into a single restrictive mold is what causes mental and physical harm.
