The ruling likely means that teenagers who receive care will no longer be allowed to do so confidentially
A federal court ruling Tuesday could make it nearly impossible for Texas teens to access birth control without parental permission.
US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled that Title X, the federal program that provides free, confidential contraception to anyone regardless of age, income or immigration status, violates parental rights and violates state and federal laws.
The ruling from Kacsmaryk likely means that teenagers who receive care through the Title X family planning program will no longer be allowed to do so confidentially.

Parental OK is not so bad but if the repugs keep up their attacks on child birth it could soon be impossible to obtain BC meds for any woman in TX.
