Obamacare Mandate: 15-Year-Old Girls Receive Free Sterilizations Without Parental Consent

As of August 1st, young girls in Oregon are now set to receive free sterilizations without any parental consent thanks to a regulation contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare).

After being finalized by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius earlier this year, the mandate allows for girls as young as 15
years old to go against parental wishes (or just not tell them) and
receive sterilizations covered by their health care plan.

In fact, the teenage girls can still receive the procedure even if the parents openly object.

The bill states more specifically that all health care plans throughout
the United States must provide 100% full coverage, without any
cost-sharing, for not only all forms of sterilizations but all forms of
contraceptives approved by the FDA for women “with reproductive
capacity.” In other words, any woman with the ability to reproduce. Considering the rate puberty is rapidly accelerating in the United States, this age is very much up for debate. Girls as young as 8 are now giving birth, meaning that this law could apply to these young women who are literally “fit” to reproduce.

On average, however, the term would apply to girls around the age of 12, which is now the generally accepted age as to when girls begin to menstruate.

The consent form even allows for the possibility of a third party
signer acting as an ‘interpreter’ for those who are impaired or cannot
speak English. The form, which the 15 year old girls are given to sign before receiving their sterilizations, reads:

<blockquote class="tr_bq">I understand that
the sterilization must be considered permanent and not reversible, says
this consent form. I have decided that I do not want to become pregnant,
bear children or father children.</blockquote>The regulation is highly similar to previous legislation mandates such as the California bill
that allowed girls as young as 12 to receive the Gardasil shot without
any parental consent. It also is in the same vein as the ruthless Eugenics campaigns of the 20th century
that are openly admitted. In what started out as voluntary
sterilizations, the U.S. government forcibly sterilized over 60,000
people between 1929 and 1974. States like North Carolina have considered
paying the families of victims in monetary compensation to ‘make up’
for the government-enforced sterilization program.
