It had to do with what I was saying. I've been asking what happened to "her body, her choice". Abortion is a medical procedure she is granted the choice to make. She should be granted the same right in this case. Just like nobody can force her to carry a pregnancy to term, nobody should be able to force her to inject chemo into her body.
This thread has nothing to do with abortion though. This thread has to do with consent. As it stands, Connecticut abortion laws and consent in regards to those, has nothing to do with whether the minor can deny/consent to other medical treatments. As a matter of fact, Connecticut makes it clear that it's pretty much case by case issue when it comes to medical procedures. In some, consent from the minor is required. In others, the state doesn't even need that.
