[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 88211, member: 1024"] Ya know what bothers me about this? Yes, parents can opt out. However, most parents whose children are going to this clinic don't otherwise have the ins. or money to take them to their own physician. So, parents who don't want their children to get birth control opt out of this, but then can't afford to take the kid to an outside physician to get treatment. If the clinic is available, parents should have the right to say...okay, treat my child for xyz, but anything else needs to come through me. These kids are too young to make important medical decisions. If it's okay to give them BC, then it's okay to dispense ritalin? or anti-depressants? Where do THEY draw the line? If they can draw a line, then why can't the parents? Now, I hear that some schools in our own state want to follow suit. [/QUOTE]
