This is one of those stories we WISH we could tell you was made-up.
We wish we could, but unfortunately, it’s true and it’s repugnant and it looks like a complete nightmare just waiting to happen in Oregon.
Fox News reports:
The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo — even go to a tanning bed.
But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification — and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.“It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our children,” said Lori Porter of Parents’ Rights in Education. “They’re our children. And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done unbeknownst to a parent or guardian, it’s mindboggling.”
In a statement, Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Susan Wickstrom explained it this way: “Age of medical consent varies by state. Oregon law — which applies to both Medicaid and non-Medicaid Oregonians — states that the age of medical consent is 15.”
You may be outraged at this point. You might want to scold Oregonians for making this terrible choice, but you’d be making a mistake and here’s why:
At 15 old enough to get a sex change operation with out their parents consent, and State paid too boot, but not old enough to have sex.
Some one please flush the toilet in oregone
And this just adds to the mountainous list of why Jesus needs to return to earth
I was a tomboy growing up, no no no, they need to mature first! Science is the new God I guess. Blows my mind, they can’t cure or prevent the common cold, but the world seems to be okay with messing around with DNA.
