One of Planned Parenthood’s priority bills in California this year requires health insurance companies to hide from parents “sensitive” medical procedures given to their adult and minor children. These “sensitive” services, as defined by SB 1004, include abortions; drug abuse and mental health treatment; and under certain circumstanced transgender hormones and sex-change operations.
In a fact-sheet from bill author Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, (D) Santa Barbara, the legislation is necessary to protect young adults, who remain on their parent’s health insurance until age 26, from being shamed or hurt by the policyholder who disagrees with their healthcare choices.
Yet, this bill not only hides the medical service used by young adults from their parents, but it also hides services for “a minor who can consent to a health care service without the consent of a parent or legal guardian… .”
Under SB 1004, insurance companies would be criminally charged if they let parents know their health insurance policy was paying for these procedures for their minor children.
Not included in this minor medical procedure consent list is what SB 1004 defines as “transgender health, including gender-affirming care.”
Planned Parenthood clinics around California have started to aggressively promote “Transgender Hormone Services,” or “Gender Affirming Care,” which include puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones; drugs that will permanently sterilize children….
Although Planned Parenthood is not publicly advocating letting minors use transgender hormones without parent approval, the California Teacher’s Association (CTA) is publicly headed in that direction.
According to a recent Epoch Times report, the CTA changed its policy for school-based health clinics so that services for “transgender and non-binary youth” is equal to the privacy given to other students….
The above comes from an April 10 story in Press California.
It will take a few kids getting maimed for the lawsuits to end this insanity. Pity for those who will be the victims, they need psychological help, not drugs and surgery.
This is insanity and evil. In California, minors cannot get tattoos or indoor tans, even with parental permission, yet, they can have abortions and so-called sex changes without their parents even knowing, yet, of course, with the parents paying for this via their health insurance. And, parents have to pay for this for their adult children up until 26 years of age. (In the case of the oxymoronic sex changes, such will become apparent.) Let us love, support and pray for those in crisis pregnancies and with gender dysphoria, not abandon them to Planned Parenthood/Big Abortion and the LGBTQ lobby. Let us hope that parents, taxpayers and others will oppose this evil legislation and let their legislators and children’s school teachers know. Pray for Ms. Jackson’s conversion and the failure of this State Senate bill, SB 1004.
My “children” are in their late 30’s. Yet, every year the forms they brought home clearly stated that “the school can take your daughter for an abortion without your knowledge or approval”. I used to red line through this statement and asked if the school would pay for any complications, hospitalizations, etc. I also said I would see them in court if I ever found out. Year after year the forms stated the same this and year after year I filled out my same statement. And year after year many students are coming out uneducated and unable to read.
We should not shame these children, but help them to be better, healthier members of their sex at birth which lines up with their DNA. Often children have been shamed by family members for being the “wrong” sex when born — such as a family member wanting a boy instead of a girl, or a girl instead of a boy. In this case it is outsiders, such as Ms. Jackson who are influencing these children in the wrong way.
Some adults, who were put on hormone blockers when children, already have serious bodily damage — such as crippling losses of bone structures. Call your state senators and tell them to vote against SB1004.
