What do you think about minors being given birth control without their parents' consent?

I have to do a research project with a topic that had limited resources. Despite that, the topic of whether or not minors should be allowed to get birth control on their own intrigues me. What do you all think about this idea and why? Are you for it, against it? It doesn't matter what you decide to say.What do you think about minors being given birth control without their parents' consent?
on one hand they are acting responsible for their actions on the other, they are children and parents should have a say on what the child does, it might be against parents wishes to have their child get on the pill and they have a right to control that. it goes both ways....i am FOR parental rights and against children going behind their parents backWhat do you think about minors being given birth control without their parents' consent?
I think it's about time!





There are too many so-called ';parents'; out there who live in abject denial of sexuality, and believe that THEIR CHILDREN would never participate in anything sexual.





These are the young people who need help, since their parents are either too deeply in denial, too uptight about sex to discuss it, or totally in the dark.





If parents would have realistic discussions with their kids about sexuality, there would be no need for minors to seek out birth control on their own.





It's either that or STD's, pregnancy, and sometimes even death.





Parents: What do you want for YOUR child???
I'm actually against it. Sure it would prevent unwanted pregnancy and help stunt the spread of STD's blah blah blah. But in all honesty, no measure taken can stop teenage sex. I say just let them make their choices and reap what they sow. Nothing better than bitter regret to knock some sense into people. And of course it's an early warning sign to parents to let them know there is a major flaw in their parenting when their kid comes home pregnant or impregnated somebody.
I think minors should not be given birth control without their parents consent, if a law is established that all minors have to have parental consent to have sex, and if they fail to do so they will be deported to Afghanistan.
Should be illegal


The parents need to know what meds the child is taking and the state should not usurp parents rights..


Unless of course the state wants to take ownership of all children and pay for all their needs until they are 18.
Anyone who interferes in the birth control of another person gets the honor of paying the child support until the child is of legal age in my view.
If they are old enough to be having consensual sex, they are old enough to be given access to birth control. Withholding birth control does not stop sex - it just makes it riskier.
I think it's abhorrent. Parent's should be in control of their children, not schools or clinics. They are condoning illicit and often illegal behavior.
Minors have sex without their parent's consent. So, what's the alternative? A lot of unwanted pregnancies.
I am for it 100%, anything to reduce teenage pregnancy in this country
I'm all for it. We have too many people on this planet as it is.
its embarrassing to talk to there parents about it and what if there parents says no and they end up pregnant then what
