A member asked:

At what age does a girl need to be to get oral contraception?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends by state: Most states allow a girl of 14 to be able to obtain care for sexual health without parental consent, including contraception. Check with your local doctor or county health department for the laws in your state.
