Teens have rights too...

If you're a teen in California, you have rights. And that's what this section is about - your legal right to accessing sexual and reproductive health care.   

As a teen you have the right to confidential, affordable:
 

  • Birth Control, including Emergency Contraception
  • Testing and Treatment for STDs (ages 12 and older)
  • Pregnancy Testing and Prenatal Care
  • Abortion Services
  • Mental Health Services
     

You can learn more about your rights by clicking on the links to the left or by downloading the ACLU's "Your Health, Your Rights" brochure.
