Does a minor need parental consent to receive a prescription for birth control pills?
Does one need to show ID to buy condoms in any of the states?
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was mostly playing on the Hormonal Rage factor, which just may be funny to me because mentally I am often twelve.
No, I got that. Sorry if I seemed overly earnest.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Lord, I hope the answer to your questions is NO in all of the states.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Their mission is to protect reproductive choice, but the Alan Guttmacher Insitute puts out really good solid data on a lot of this stuff, both in the US and around the world: [link]

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Bwah!That's great, Gud!

It seems like hyperbole, and maybe I can't avoid it, but your kids don't need your consent to have some stranger who doesn't have your kids' best interest at heart inject their bodily fluids into your kids' bodies, which is really what sex is. A penis is like the world's grossest hypodermic needle. Could get you pregnant, could give you syphillis.
As medical procedures go, getting one pregnant (or diseased) doesn't require any formal training.

In one hour, I will officially be on vacation.
I don't think I'm going to do any more work today.

What's Ew about that. Okay, maybe I'd expect that reaction from Emily.
Edit - Oops, didn't see Allyson's post for some reason. That makes more sense now.
