Texas sues Biden administration over program giving birth control to teens without parents' knowledge
Fox News
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday that his office is suing the Biden administration over Title X requirements that birth control be provided to minors without parental consent.
"By attempting to force Texas healthcare providers to offer contraceptives to children without parental consent, the Biden Administration continues to prove they will do anything to implement their extremist agenda — even undermine the Constitution and violate the law," Paxton said in a statement.

The Texas legal battle began in Dec. 2021 when 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.
