Minors and abortion

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that introduces stringent regulations on children's access to social media platforms. Under the new law, children under the age of 14 are banned from using social media altogether, while 14- and 15-year-olds must obtain parental consent to create accounts, Reuters reported.

Turkish health minister has criticized the recent ruling of Turkey's top court that rules vaccination of babies and children without parental consent to be unconstitutional, saying the "broadened immunity program" developed and implemented by the ministry up until the ruling will remain in place.

Turkey's Constitutional Court has ruled that parental consent is necessary for the vaccination of babies and children, handing down a contrasting ruling to the country's Supreme Court of Appeals.
