OPPOSE H.1599/S.1114

 

H.1599 HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JULY 31ST, YOU PARENTAL RIGHTS IN MEDICAL DECISIONS FOR YOUR CHILDREN IS UNDER THREAT   The House version of An Act enhancing access to abortion care, H.1599, has been extended to July 31, 2024. If passed, this bill would also allow minors to consent to preventative care, including vaccination, without needing parental consent or knowledge.   THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE LIFE ALTERING CONSEQUENCES - TAKE ACTION!   OPPOSE H.1599/S.1114   What you need to know:   Section 1 of H.1599 and S.1114, would allow minors to consent to vaccination by making the same changes to Chapter 112 of Section 12F as those proposed in the Community Immunity Act.   These changes would: Allow a minor of any age and intellectual capacity to consent to vaccination, without parental knowledge or consent, and Keep the record of the vaccination hidden from parents.     If the Community Immunity Act does not move forward, but H.1599/S.1114 became law, minors would be able to consent to vaccination as described above.   The Supreme Court has held unequivocally that parents have the right to make medical decisions for their minor children.     Keeping parents in the dark about vaccinations their minor children have received is simply bad policy.  Parents need to know their children’s vaccination history so they can make informed decisions about future medical treatment, including future vaccinations.     The language is in no way limited to “mature” minors – as written, a minor who is unable to effectively communicate or who doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to provide informed consent would be able to consent to vaccination if these bills are enacted. There is no minimum age requirement.   It is critical that this language in the bill is brought to the attention of the committee and removed.        Where in the Act enhancing access to abortion care (bills H.1599 and S.1114) does it state that minors are allowed to consent to vaccination without parental consent or knowledge?   Please refer to Section 1 of H.1599 and S.1114 where s.12F of c.112 of the current law is edited (see next slide for a redline showing the change).   Section 1 of these bills changes only a few words, but the impact is significant.  Currently, the law allows, in narrow and specific circumstances, minors to consent to medical care without parental knowledge or consent and blocks parental access to medical records of that care.   The changes proposed by Section 1 would broaden the circumstances when minors can consent to care, allowing them to consent to care for the “prevention” of diseases, which would include vaccination.         TAKE ACTION & SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY OPPOSE H.1599/S.1114 WATCH THE TRAILER BUY TICKETS Health Action MA in collaboration with CHD and the Vaxxed Team are hosting a screening of Vaxxed III - Authorized to Kill   GOAL DEADLINE: Aug 18th, 2024 SCREENING DATE: Sept 18th, 2024 TIME: 7:00pm LOCATION: Framingham AMC      IMPORTANT: A goal of 66 reserved ticked must be met by August 18th for the screening to move forward. You are only charged if the goal is met.   The Children's Health Defense bus embarked on a nine-month journey across America, gathering powerful testimonies from the people. Our interviews ranged from mothers and fathers to teenagers, families, medical professionals, whistleblowers, lawyers, and people from all walks of life.   What we discovered was nothing short of staggering. We listened to harrowing accounts of COVID hospital protocols that shook us to our very core. The consistency of these stories was alarming. We heard the same story over and over again.   People also shared their experiences after taking the COVID-19 vaccine, revealing tragic outcomes of either death or serious injury. Now, fueled by these powerful first hand testimonies, we are creating a documentary by the people, for the people. Learn what we uncovered on the road. You can’t afford to miss it.   Come and connect with our community and meet the Health Action MA team. Get your tickets today!
