In the latest debacle, a federal judge has made it impossible for Texas teens to access contraception without parental knowledge and consent.
In the wake of a federal judge's ruling, a group operating 156 federally funded Texas clinics is requiring parental consent for minors “out of an abundance of caution” as it awaits further guidance from the government.In the growing annals of boneheaded decisions that jeopardize the sexual and reproductive health of Texans, it’s time to add a fresh outrage to the pile.
How the newest outrage started: Alexander Deanda, a father of three girls who lives in Amarillo, said he is raising his daughters “in accordance with Christian teaching on matters of sexuality, which requires unmarried children to practice abstinence and refrain from sexual intercourse until marriage,” according to a lawsuit filed on his behalf.
The damage has already been done: Texas’ Title X administrator, Every Body Texas, has asked its 156 clinics to require parental consent for minors “out of an abundance of caution” as it awaits further guidance from the government. Planned Parenthood South Texas also operates two Title X-funded clinics in San Antonio, an official said.
The lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, is a former Texas solicitor general who designed the law that banned most abortions in Texas after six weeks of pregnancy. He also that sought to block requirements in the Affordable Care Act that required employers to cover HIV prevention medications.
