  • Are you an Oregonian? because if you are, I am ashamed of your behavior. I really hope you are just trolling, but I know people actually think like you. But if you are an Oregonian, please act like one. You are embarrassing me.

    I had never heard about this until I clicked this post. And then I looked at the source and the other media outlets that chose to run this fake story. They are all right wing sources that are constantly confusing the facts. They play off the ignorance of the people and you are not helping. Obamacare did nothing to change the laws, it only gives more people access to valid healthcare options. Let me stress the term "valid." Amputation is a reasonable medical procedure but do you really think a doctor will preform it for a hangnail?

    But what gets me most about these type of stories is how offended people get that sterilization is an option. They are against the idea of abortion too and have no intention of providing healthcare to a pregnant mother or her infant child. It makes no sense to me. They want you to have lots of babies but they refuse to give you any help in caring for them.

    • Everyone seems to be missing the point here. I didn't point it out because I wanted to see how many would get it. Sterilizations WILL be available for girls as young as 15, without parental consent. There's a pdf form called "Oregon Health Authority: Ages 15-20 Consent to Sterilization". I have it printed and in my hand. It reads:

      "I understand that the sterilization must be considered permanent and not reversible. I have decided that I do not want to become pregnant, bear children or father children."

      Now you tell me how a 15yo could possibly know if they actually want this or not? AND, under Oregon's state law, if the parent refuses the will of the child, the state can get a court order with its power of "Parens Patriae"

      • And you missed mine. This law was in effect before Obamacare.

        • I don't believe so. Have you read the entirety of Obamacare?

          • I haven't read the new Act word for word, nor have I read the entirety of the Oregon Health code but it cannot effect laws that are determined by state. Oregon is very progressive in its laws and this threatens some people.

            A 15 year old still needs to prove it is the best option and have a doctor agree. They have to prove they understand the procedure and a judge must agree. That is Oregon law.

            It will not change the availability of the medical procedure in the state, only who pays for it. And insurance companies don't want to pay for anything so they try encourage false information to be spread.

            • You really should read the important parts of it anyway. There's even a part that mandates RFID chips, which have been referred to as the "mark of the beast". :/

            • A federal mandate is STILL UNconstitutional, no matter how you want to see it. Our dear "constitutional scholar" needs to go back to school.

              • Oh, I get it. The issue at hand is not your concern. You're mad about a federal mandate that requires insurance companies to pay for healthcare.

                How dare the government regulate insurance companies. They should be the ones determining my health care.
