“They need to respect the child’s opinion in what they FEEL is best for their bodies”
Feel? Really? That sums up liberalism in just one word.
What if the feel they want a drink? A cigarette? A tattoo?
After all those are feelings too.
I’m not sure what the age was, but didn’t Governor Rick Perry try to pimp Gardasil on underage girls?
It’s Connecticut, for those who are wondering...
12 year olds should serve in the military too. That’s the way it works in every other banana republic. Let’s not forget, 12 year olds should work too, for pennies a day.
Wonder why they are working so hard to take away more and more parental consent? A Real mystrery.
These parents are going to be angry when their kids start dying of early onset heart disease. Randomly falling dead at sporting events. Yes, there might be some blowback!🤬
Will they also allow kids who don’t want the vaccine NOT to get it?????
Communism desires full state control over children.
Parents are just breeders working for the state.
This is precisely the game plan the left is implementing in a dozen different ways.
So much for amnesty, eh?
Sounds like Rick Perry’s scam to require HPV vaccinations for all girls in the state starting sometime in grae school.
The link was one of his advisors back to Pfizer I believe. nudge nudge wink wink help with your campaign stuff.
Most corrupt nation on earth. Right here.
Politics isn’t just a dirty word, it is criminal.
I really dislike laws that assume different ages for consent/accountability.
12 for vaccines? 16 for sexual and to drive? 18 to get drafted, sign contracts? 15 to abort your child? 14 to take hormone blockers? 16 year old “tried as an adult?” 21 to drink?
Adult should mean adult. 18 works for me, and Romeo/Juliet works for me, too. Otherwise, if you want to be treated as an adult, sue to become an emancipated minor. Otherwise, you are a minor and not making adult decisions (nor do you have adult liability).
Glad to see this- why?? Because Connecticut was dumb enough to vote these morons into office and they knew what was coming. My only hopes are the kids who get these shots without parental knowledge are parents who voted for Da Nag Dick Blumenthal, etc
Humanity is showing itself to not have advanced one iota in all that time.
Nauseating and repugnant.
Just sayin...
And when there is any medical side effect the state will put that 100% on the parents.
From the linked article:
“The legislation proposed is an issue that has been an important concern for my constituent. As their representative, it’s my duty to express their requests and ensure their concerns have been taken seriously, especially on a health care issue,” State Rep. Kevin Ryan said.
So this Democrat politician’s solution to their constituent‘s “issue” is to take away the right of every parent in the state of Massachusetts to make health care decisions for their underage children. That must be one very, very, very, very important constituent (assuming “they” even exist).
Did State Representative Ryan consult with any other constituents in his district before proposing this far reaching legislation?
Of course, this is simply the tip of the wedge for overturning parental rights over their children entirely. Once you allow one medical treatment to be administered without parental consent, what other actions would suddenly become “medical treatments” with the connivance of activist medical professionals, educators, and politicians?
There is currently a lawsuit (next door in Connecticut IIRC) over failure to notify parents about a young teen being “transitioned” by his/her/its school. Under this legislation, would trans hormones and hormone blockers suddenly become “vaccines?” How about the irreversible surgeries? Would the state seize custody of children in order to provide these “medical treatments” as well?
BTW, as the article mentions later, who is responsible if “things go wrong” after the vaccines are administered? The underage child cannot legally and financially assume responsibility. So, who does? Oh, suddenly the parents are important again because, by law, …
…Isn’t this the door we came in at?
Not even a hint as to where this happening?
Will the fbi investigate those parents?
The goal of the left is to have parents take care of kids while they are still in diapers. (They don’t want to change diapers.) But as soon as the kids are out of the nappies the State wants them so it can rip the moral principles out of the kids’ heads and turn them into atheistic, compliant sheep.
Parents are there to do the work and pay the bills. As soon as they can eliminate parents, they will, and all reproduction will be done by the State. So there will be no parents who can teach the kids moral principles or that evil hated thing called religion.
