    The argument is that a minor could make reproductive issues for themselves without a parent present or knowing. That’s where they’re drawing the “parents rights” from. It would reach into STD care too, for instance. Where the bill lacks a little of logic is that someone’s gotta pay for the care, and that’s usually a parent.

    E: I see it also mentioned another point is that the father could lose his say as well.

    Don’t take my comment as though I’m taking a side, I wondered the exact same thing and looked up why it was stated that way.

      That doesn’t mean you get details. My elder kid recently turned 18 and is in college. I have to pay all medical bills and all college bills but don’t see any details except who to pay. I have to say it’s a bit of a shock from a few months ago

          Yes. For me the biggest issue is college paperwork. I not only can no longer see his grades, for which I’m paying, but I can’t see online paperwork for student loans or other financial aid, which is helping me pay, and I don’t get paperwork notifications, to help make sure he meets all those paperwork requirements
