SB 3341 lets a 12-year-old start hormonal birth control with no parent involvement. These aren’t vitamins. Hormonal contraceptives carry documented side effects and long-term considerations that deserve a doctor and a parent in the room. For example, research links adolescent use to a higher risk of depression in adulthood — because these synthetic hormones affect the still-developing teenage brain.
Parents aren’t the threat. They’re the protection. This bill is in the House now. Make your voice heard.
