Jefferson School-Based Health Center
Whether you are [male/female] [gay/straight/lesbian/bisexual/unsure]
We can:
Do exams (including sports physicals & reproductive health exams)
Provide Counseling
Give shots (immunizations)
Prescribe medicines, including birth control
So why do children need a permission slip to go on a field trip but not to receive psycho-therapy, potentially lethal birth control, or "reproductive health exams?"
And don't you need a degree to be a counselor or doctor? Aren't counselors and doctors pretty expensive? Either we have a huge amount of school money going towards quality health proffesionals or they are hiring sub-par people to give your daughter a pap and The Pill. Either way I'm not comfortable with this.

Last time I checked women are dying from licensed abortion providers...
I'm glad that I bring you a smile Mr. Kaza. Maybe I could use the folgers jingle...
But refresh my memory, did we have more or less poverty in the 50's? More or less crime? More or less self-reliance? More or less teen pregnancies? More or less drug use?
And even if you disregard all that, I would go back to the 50's just to support Senator McCarthy!!!
Ah, Mr. Kaza! I was so happy to see that you had posted a comment, I thought(with no little excitement):"Well, if it isn't my favorite ( well-dressed) moonbat!"
When I read the responses left by Tony (and the ubiquitous anonymous)
I saw they had addressed the issue quite well on their own.
Daniel(our "leader") asked a good question that I see you avoided answering directly, that is -"...why do children need a permission slip to go on a field trip but not to receive psycho-therapy, potentially lethal birth control, or "reproductive health exams?"" Instead you answered with a snarky: ""Potentially lethal" birth control? You mean like a backroom abortion by an unlicensed provider?" And I'd ask: why does a 13 year old girl need a permission slip from her parent(s) to get an aspirin from the school nurse, but is suddenly granted the infamous "Right to Privacy" concerning her wish to have a potentially dangerous medical procedure performed?
Instead of teaching young CHILDREN that abstinance is the best(foolproof) way to prevent pregnancy and STDs, schools promote "responsible" sexual behaviour. That I would consider a problem that needs addressing. Or do you have a cute little quip for that, too?
Your smug "superiority" always ceases to amaze me.
And, the 50's were a time when people still had a clear sense of morality, knowing the difference between what was right and wrong, taught to them by their parents. Not that we were all perfect, but we still knew when we were wrong, even if we didn't openly admit it.

Of course I didn't get the policy forwarded...so...
from the Multnomah County Health Dept. School-Based website...

Consent for Care
According to Oregon law, students aged 15 and older may obtain services from a school-based health center without a parent or guardian's consent, but it is Multnomah County Health Department policy to consistently encourage students to notify and involve parents or guardians in all aspects of their health care. Parents or guardians are always contacted in an emergency. Oregon statute permits persons of any age to obtain family planning and services for diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections without parental or guardian consent.
What a joke. Yep...I'll be looking for a private school.
