Somebody other than themselves should be required to make the Legal decision. And if not the Parent/Guardian maintain such legal records documenting why such a decision was made to circumvent. IMO

joeglow3 (995 posts) Wed Mar-24-10 01:16 PMResponse to Reply #200 208. I am asserting my right to be involved in my minor child's healthcare Do you support a child being able to get ANY other medical procedure done without parent's knowldege?
msanthrope (1000+ posts) Wed Mar-24-10 01:28 PMResponse to Reply #208 216. Yes. when the minor requests medically appropriate care that the parent disagrees with, the minor not only gets the care, but gets all privileges of medical privacy.Do I think that a JW's child should be able to get a transfusion without parental consent? Yes.

Just goes to prove that they love abortion above all else. A parent's right to control what the state can and cannot do with their child and what a doctor can and cannot do to their child takes a distant backseat. And these jackasses have the unmitigated gall to claim that they are not socialists.
I guess that means if the sex that created the pregnancy was consensual,even if it was with a 30 year old teacher for example only,then no charges can be brought against him.
As much as they deny it, liberals want to do away with Age of Consent laws. These are major sick puppies..
