Fucking sickening. As if parents are never the abusers. Someone ought to find the names and faces of everyone who pushed this bill forward and plaster them on billboards all across Idaho with the tagline "Defenders of Incest".
From the text of the bill:
(4) Subsection (3) of this section shall not apply, and a health care provider may authorize or furnish a health care service without obtaining the informed consent of the minor child's parent, if:
(a) A parent of the minor child has given blanket consent authorizing the health care provider to furnish the health care service; or
(b) The health care provider reasonably determines that a medical emergency exists and:
(i) Furnishing the health care service is necessary in order to prevent death or imminent, irreparable physical injury to the minor child; or
(ii) After a reasonably diligent effort, the health care provider cannot locate or contact a parent of the minor child and the minor child's life or health would be seriously endangered by further delay in the furnishing of health care services.
I fail to see how a sexually-assaulted child doesn't qualify as a medical emergency, or how providing care wouldn't be considered "preventing imminent, irreparable physical injury". What the fuck is wrong with you, Idaho? Who do you think you are? Texas?
