Welcome back to yet another episode of “The GOP Getting Weird About Other Peoples’ Genitalia”
Specifically children.
That's the problem with these people. They're always worried about other people's shit. Just completely incapable of minding their own business.
how else would they control, and maintain a large populace that may falter and leave the republican party/voting.
I used to always ask of an old conservative friend,"How do you deal with your side's hypocrisy. Talking as much about personal freedom as taking away personal freedom." Now, this was decades ago, when you could still have rational discussions with the wrong side. I mean, compared to today's wacko world. Usually, their answer would fall back eventually to the bible. So I guess, not really rational at all I suppose.
remember when r/conspiracy wasnt filled with maga/political shit, and you could actually have semi-rational discussion about other stuff. before politics infilitrated the sub. it was pretty much before the pandemic like around the time when trump took power the first time.
In what scenario would a parent going “do not treat my teens STI in defiance of the treatment they are actively seeking” not be abuse and neglect.
The point isn't the consent, it's the tattling.
Yep, it is intended to attempt to shame people for not having the exact morals of this piece of shit.
its to discourage SA from being reported.
No it's too keep parental sexual abuse from being reported as much. If Dad and daughter have the same strain of sti that's a mandatory report, if they need permission they'll never seek reported help and you can't draw a line from a to b as easily.
parental, or friend, family member SA/rape
No, you're missing the point. Right now, teens can get tested with discretion and without notifying the parents or the tests being added to a medical file. This is so that teens don't feel too scared of getting in trouble if they get tested, so they don't and thus increase the risk of an outbreak, a far worse outcome than the fact that Chad and Tina did the hanky panky before marriage. This individual wants parents to be notified if their children are sexually active, bringing us back to square one.
Can't have your sexually abused kids go to the doctor and tell on you.
Even if the STI spread through consensual sex down a chain of people close enough in age that it's not abusive, and even if the parents would have gotten the kid treated, the fact that they'd beat the kid for having had sex means the kid will never tell, not get treated, and further spread the STI.
This is the purpose of patient-doctor privilege, since it is beneficial to the community that people come to be treated (say for STIs even if they were transmitted during unlawful action, say, sex with underaged persons) It's the doc's job to treat patients regardless of parental consent.
So, basically, she wants parents to have the right to let their children suffer and possibly die. What a lovely human being.
…
I was going to quote individual parts to complain about, but there are just too many. It goes deeper than medical treatment. Read the article if you haven’t already.
Parental Consent
Kids are the new Property.
New? Always have been.
Yay let's spread stis!
Make America Gonorrhea'd Again?
They really want to get into kids’ pants.
Cuz they're pedophiles and rapists
Fuck these people. That's some straight up bullshit right there.
Oh this is a great way to get out of control std outbreaks to go along with making measles great again.
Is the consent needed to fix a broken arm? Inform them of the treatment, sure; consent weird.
You will cure the chlamydia I worked hard to give my daughter over my cold dead body! 😡
Why is Florida so pro spread of disease‽
its a swamp , where alot of diseases come to roost. measles, potential mosquitoe born diseases, parasitic infections spread by invasive species( giant african rats, giant african snails)
MAGATs hate their children.
Oh my 10 year old kid broke a bone and it’s sticking out the side? You better not treat that without my consent.
I say let it heal with the bone sticking out. That’ll teach them to use the crosswalk in a school zone.
Just like God intended
