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.

    What if they need it for medical non-contraception reasons? But I guess I shouldnt expect these people to know the other ways they’re used since I doubt they paid attention in sex ed (assuming they even properly got it).
