I support Bodily Autonomy. Which includes the right to make medical decisions for oneself and those in your care. I support informed consent, that includes detailed information provided to educate patients on the pros and cons of the procedures in order to make an informed decision. While I personally, may not choose any of these medical services or procedures, it is not my nor the governments place to tell you what services and procedures are right for you and those in your care. I will continue to preserve the individuals right to decide for themselves what is best for them.

I support the rights of parents to decide what is educationally appropriate for their children and direct the dollars associated with their children's education.

15. Whenever harm or the potential for harm exists, choice and consent must be present as well. Until Employers are required to pay for possible life long adverse effects of mandated medical procedures they should not be allowed to mandate procedures that have effects outside of a persons employment. 16 and 17. No treatments or information on treatments should be given without the expressed acknowledgement and consent from the parent, for students under the age of 18.
