Parents beware: You can’t trust doctors with your kids | LifeSiteNews.com: Parents beware: A survey of ob/gyns conducted earlier this year found that 94 percent would provide contraceptives to a minor without notifying her parents. The study, conducted by researchers at Columbia University and the University of Chicago, is based on a survey of 1,800 ob/gyns, with a 66% response rate. It was published in the journal Contraception in January.
The doctors were presented with a hypothetical case of a 17-year-old college freshman who asks them for contraceptive pills but does not want her parents to know. Only 47% said they would encourage the minor to inform a parent, and only 54% would encourage the minor to remain abstinent until she is older.
