"France gives 14-year-olds free contraception"
"As of Friday, August 28, French underage girls 14 or younger have totally free access to contraceptives and all medical consultations and testing necessary to the prescription process. The measure was announced last Thursday by a decree published in the Official Journal of the state, going into effect one day later.
While COVID-19 regulations continue to occupy a large part of French Health Minister Olivier Véran’s time, and while many 'normal' medical procedures have been postponed for months, teenage birth control is high on the government’s list of executive activities.
Young girls will be able to obtain contraceptives, including implants and intrauterine devices, under strict anonymity if they decide to keep their identity secret.
There is no age limit as the decree simply removed the words 'aged at least 15' from a previous decree offering 'minor girls aged at least 15' the possibility of obtaining contraceptives without any out-of-pocket expenses.
Under the French social security system, most medical consultations, prescriptions and acts involve payment of a patient’s contribution that can amount from a few euros up to 85 percent for some medications. There are some exceptions, such as elective abortion, which is 100 percent funded by the state."
