California Democrats just passed a bill to fund healthcare clinics in the state’s K-12 public schools, against Republicans’ and the California Department of Finance’s objections. Included in the primary health care services are mental health services, “reproductive health services” (abortions, birth control), vaccinations, and drug abuse treatment.

The clincher is that parental consent is not needed for any of these health services. In fact, according to bill analysis, “The Right to Life League said that this bill will ensure that state-funded chemical or surgical abortions can secretly and conveniently take place on school campuses, public or private, without parental involvement and without a doctor.”

We had a family birthday celebration this Sunday for everyone with birth days before Labor Day.

One of the honorees is a fairly new RN, and she touched on these insanities.

Like her father and me, she has allergies from about Easter until the first good frost. She has to use Sudafed with ephedrine like her Dad and I used to.

She gets that med from the outpatient/staff pharmacy at the hospital where she is a full time RN, and she has to show her driver’s license to get what used to be an over the counter antihistamine now with ephedrine.

She works in a ICU unit and uses and accounts for a lot of heavy scheduled drugs ordered by MDs and used during her shift. She signs and agrees with the levels
from the RN she replaces.

Then, when she finishes her shift, she inventories what is left and her replacement RN agrees and signs in.

So last week they were told about the new laws where parents are to be excluded with what their children are given as noted above.

She asked the pharmacist if those new rules applied to them and the RNs re RXes and other orders for young female patients.

The Pharmacist told her, that was the new reality!

The pharmacist nodded yes and walked away.
