On Tuesday, a U.S. Appeals Court upheld a Texas law that mandates family planning clinics to notify parents if their minor children seek birth control and require parental consent to provide it. This ruling, delivered by the Fifth Circuit, supports a father who sued the government over its policy that prevented Title X family planning clinics from informing parents when their child requested birth control. The Texas Tribune reported that the decision has been seen as a significant moment in the conservative fight over contraception laws, with implications for Title X services.
