Oregon allowing 15-year-olds to get state-subsidized sex-change operations

The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo -- even go to a tanning bed.

But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification -- and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.

"It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our children," said Lori Porter of Parents' Rights in Education. "They're our children. And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done unbeknownst to a parent or guardian, it's mindboggling."

In a statement, Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Susan Wickstrom explained it this way: "Age of medical consent varies by state. Oregon law -- which applies to both Medicaid and non-Medicaid Oregonians -- states that the age of medical consent is 15."

While 15 is the medical age of consent in the state, the decision to cover sex-change operations specifically was made by the Health Evidence Review Commission (HERC).

Could be worse, could be like think it's the Netherlands where the aoc for medical decisions is like 12 and some kid opted for assited-suicide a few years back.
 

A fifteen year old is not a "child". America would do well to rid themselves of this delusion and stop underestimating its youth.
 
^^These posters compassion & concern for despicable acts of child abuse is stunningly ABSENT... ^^
 
Oregon is working hard to to outdo California as the most f*cked up state in the Union.
This might have done it.
 
Why are the taxpayers being forced to pay for this??

If those folks want a sex change then let them pay for it.

Oh wait. I forgot. They are only fifteen and no way will their parents pay for it. The taxpayers it is. Never mind.

First the state should never pay for this. And second you should be an adult before you are allowed to do this stupidity.
 
I hope none of them will ever want to have kids. Once their genitals are surgically mutilated, they will never function correctly again. It has now been documented: a male is a male, a female is a female. Period.

Yes most people dnt know at 15. 15 year olds shouldnt even be getting tattoos. This is a special kind of stupidity.
 
Right now in Oregon, we have a dangerous situation.
Our legislature just adjourned for the year (thank gawd), and with a Dim majority in both the House and Senate and with a leftist bi-sexual governor, they can ram anything they want down our throats.

My advice, if you're a moderate or Conservative, don't even think about moving here. It truly sucks.
 
Nothing this country would do or allow (legalize) would shock me anymore.

I'm ready to go home to be with the Lord!!!
 
I do have a problem with this. No 15-year-olds should be allowed to undergo any kind of cosmetic surgery. These are permanent changes and sometimes they don't turn out very well. A 15-year-old is still a child in the mind (despite what some of the sickos will claim) and not able to consent to such life-changing surgeries. I find this to be wrong. It is easy to see how a 15-year-old child can be just "confused" about his or her sexual identity and have plenty of time to learn how to deal with these things in a healthy and productive manner and more than likely will have things figured out by the time they are into their 20s.
