SALEM, Oregon (PNN) - August 13, 2012 - There is a shocking development in the new ObamaCare Contraception Mandate that went into effect in Oregon on August 1. Your 15-year-old (as young as 12 in some cases) child may now be sterilized at no charge, without your consent. Sterilized, not reversible but a permanent end to your child’s ability to reproduce. Do you think 15-year-old children are mature enough to make that decision? They can’t legally drive to a clinic to have it done, or even legally engage in sex, but they can make a decision affecting their lifelong ability to procreate.
Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 436.205 to 436.335 states: ‘Informed consent’ means consent given by an individual 15 years of age or older for sterilization that is: (a) Based upon a full understanding of the nature and consequences of sterilization pursuant to information requirements set forth in ORS 436.225(1); (b) Given by an individual competent to make such a decision; and (c) Wholly voluntary and free from coercion, express or implied.” Oregon defines “sterilization” as “any medical procedure, treatment or operation for the purpose of rendering an individual permanently incapable of procreating.”
CNSNews.com reports that it contacted the Amerikan Gestapo Department of Health and Human Services division and asked, “Can you confirm that under this regulation a girl as young as 12 must be offered the opportunity to obtain a sterilization free of charge?” They also asked them to confirm what the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) media contact, Christine Stone, told them: “In Oregon, the age of consent for a sterilization procedure is 15 years or older.” They were told no one was available to answer their questions. The OHA provides the consent form for both girls and boys ages 15-18 to be sterilized.
