Control over whose bodies? EVERY BODIES!
If a teenager is a victim of incest, Republican state Sen. Dave Hann of Eden Prairie says a judge’s consent should be required before that teenager is allowed to seek medical attention, counseling, and testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
Because parents, he believes, need more control over their teenager’s bodies.
His bill, S.F. 1017, would do away with decades-old laws designed to encourage teens in trouble with sex, drugs, and booze to seek confidential medical help.
Besides the incest rule, the bill would also require parental consent before a teenager could be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, be prescribed a contraceptive, or be treated for drug or alcohol abuse.
