WHAT DOES SB172 DO?
- SB172 would allow children of any age to consent to drugs & medical devices or procedures. This includes some highly dangerous drugs that contain FDA black box warnings, such as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. (PrEP refers to the use of medications for preventing an infection before exposure.) HIV PrEP is a drug cocktail which could be offered to anyone who may become sexually active (often including chemotherapy-type drugs that are quite toxic) as a method to prevent future HIV infection and/or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) illness. Guidelines further outline the use of post-exposure prophylaxis drug treatments for people who have “been exposed.” (PEP refers to the use of medications for preventing infection after exposure.)
- This bill would allow minors to consent without parental knowledge to vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine, which is currently in a lawsuit and is one of the most dangerous vaccines, according to VAERS injury reports.
- This bill would allow minors to consent to contraceptive devices such as IUDs and hormone injections. If there were side effects, how would a parent even know how to care for their child if they didn’t know about the treatment?
- SB172 represents a clear overreach by the state into the care and upbringing of our children and violates our medical and religious freedom.
- AB237, another bill that could pass out of the legislature this session, will put “Health Centers” into Nevada schools. In partnership with SB172, this puts into place a scenario where children could easily be coerced into taking drugs and/or medical interventions in a setting without their parents present.
