Re: Parents in MD. Pharmacies maybe able to vaccinate your 9 yr old !!

[Guest guest]

This blantantly unconstitutional. States cannot give sweeping authority to

minors or any age (under 18) to make healthcare decisions for themselves,

according to the US Supreme Court. So, the best way to fight this may be to

include a formal legal argument making this case. Anyone interested in having

support with this is welcome to contact me. If you can say, " this bill can't be

passed because it's unlawful, " that can be more effective than simply saying

" I'm against this. "
