  • Title: People v. Stockton Pregnancy Control Medical Clinic, Inc., 28 July 1988.
    Author: United States. California. Court of Appeal.
    Journal: Annu Rev Popul Law; 1988; 15():47. PubMed ID: 12289577.
    Abstract:
    The defendants, a pregnancy control clinic and physicians, appealed a decision enjoining them from violating a California statute that required them to report as child abuse instances where minors under the age of 14 were diagnosed as being pregnant, as having a sexually transmitted disease, or as suffering from the complications of an abortion. The Court reversed part of the lower court decision and held that the defendants did not have to report voluntary sexual contact where the parties are of similar age. However, it also ruled that where the parties were of disparate age, such a reporting requirement did not violate the constitutional right to privacy of minors and served the compelling state interest of preventing child abuse.
