Texas is in the minority of states that requires parental consent before a teenager can get birth control, in virtually all circumstances. But there’s long been one exception to that rule: the federal Title X program, which provides confidential contraception regardless of age, income or immigration status.

This program has been a “lifeline” for teens in the Rio Grande Valley, Gonzalez said.

But no more.

    I’m pretty sure half of them are incels who want to rape and impregnate girls to force them into marriage. I hope it turns out it doesn’t work like that.

      Just wait, they’ll introduce a law allowing minors to marry without parental consent if it’s to the father of their (unborn or born) child

      Pedos are on both sides of the political spectrum, although obviously the more powerful and wealthy the subject, the more impunity…

      It’s not about political alignment, it’s more about power dynamics…
