If the parents forbade it in the house, you really think they wouldn't just do it somewhere else or just hide?
Is that the attitude to have?
Because the two step brother/sister might have sex in the back of a car the parents should encourage them by allowing them to use a bedroom in their house ?

Sounds like the tail wagging the dog.
I don't think they should give them permission, or encourage it , but I think it's unrealistic to think it's not going to happen.
Newsflash, they are NOT related. Therefore their relationship is natural.
You shouldn't do anything about it. Forget it and move on with your life.
If that is addressed to C-D posters fine. If it is addressed to the OP should we start refering to her as GrandMa? Trust me kid still in school and pregnant is no fun.
if it was me as the parent , yes, it still might "happen"
Not in my house, however !
You can't really control that when they live together. There will be times when they are home alone. I agree when parents are at home they can control it but it's open season when they are gone.
I'm surprised at how many posters don't think this is a big deal. No, not as big a deal as if they were blood related, but they are still living together as siblings. Presumably, their parents will stay married and these 2 will remain family members for the rest of their lives. I can only imagine the emotional effect this might have on them in the future. Can you imagine bringing your spouse to family functions, having them know or find out that you had sex with your step sib sitting across the table at Thanksgiving dinner? Awkward.

It seems many posters believe there is no right or wrong.
a lot of parents are posting they forbid teens having sex in their homes. does that imply they prefer to use their girlfriend/boyfriends home (what if their parents have the same policy) ?

Permissive parenting is not a good idea. Kids need boundaries, starting when they're little. It's a boundary. It's not up to the parents to worry about where they are going to have sex.

Here is exactly what it would "imply" if I was the parent in the OP........my house. my rules.
Break them and you are disrespecting my rules and can live elsewhere.
