U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a former religious liberty lawyer whose Amarillo courtroom has become a popular destination for conservative cases since he was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019, agreed. In Texas, that makes Title X clinics unique. In virtually every other setting, teens must have parental consent to get contraception. Even a teen who has had a baby must get a parent’s permission to get on birth control. “But not every young person has that … trusted adult or a parent or legal guardian that they can go to and get consent to get the services that they need,” she said, pointing to young people in abusive or coercive situations as an example.
the Trump-era regulations led to more than 180,000 unintended pregnancies.
