[Contraception and voluntary termination of pregnancy: legislative measures derogatory to parental consent in France].
Several derogatory clauses to parents' consent have been recently introduced in the French legislation concerning adolescents contraception and voluntary termination of pregnancy. Thus, from now on, adolescents may have free and anonymous access to contraception as well as detection and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Adolescents may also obtain emergency contraception without medical prescription. Parents' consent is no more necessary to authorize voluntary termination of pregnancy for an adolescent who wish to keep it secret.
