Parental Consent Law Declared Unconstitutional by Texas District Judge
State District Judge F Scott McCown ruled the parental consent law unconstitutional. The decision blocks a measure tied to federal family planning funds, with critics arguing it removed teen confidentiality protections while supporters warn of lost federal funding and political riders. The ruling followed challenges from East Texas Inc and others, amid broader budget battles and polling on Governor Bush's popularity.
