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.
The "Know Your Rights" section on TeenSource is funded in part by the American Civil Liberties Union.
