Freedom to Choose Counseling without government interference
Freedom to Choose Counseling without government interference
The violations of fundamental rights encompassed by the proposed regulations are breathtaking in their number and scope. Eliminating access to any type of counseling in effect allows state employees to decide the future and health of every citizen. That level of control is not permitted by either the US Constitution or State law. Parents, or individuals of age, not employees (in which are included representatives and career state employees such as regulators), have the authority and responsibility to make these decisions.
