The 5th Circuit grants a Texas father the right to deny his daughter access to birth control, holding that Title X does not override parents' "right to consent to their teenagers’ obtaining contraceptives" under state law. (via @mjsdc.bsky.socials3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

This is completely fucking looneytunes

whenever I read about a decision from the 5th, I feel the need to drink one.

Next: 5th Circuit asserts parental right to deny daughters access to shoes.

Oh ffs

Maybe the lede shouldn’t target to 5th.. “Texas Dominionist father plays daughters as pawns in birth control court case”. Yes, that works.

Using his daughters as political pawns. I’m sure he hopes they’ll marry good Commanders and will look lovely in the frumpiest shade of blue.

The 5th circuit Court is a blight on America

I’ll never understand the mentality of people who think babies are God’s punishment for having sex.

can the 5th Circuit be placed under some form of guardianship until it can prove its competence?

Tx rules that parents are legally able to be stupider than their kids.
