Without ANY information whatsoever, I am wondering if the law wasn't the result of something similar to this, but going in the opposite direction. Some minor wanted medical attention that was denied by a parent. Legislators then passed a law setting an age when the child can make the decision. I would not be terribly surprised to find that the law was the result of a minor seeking birth control/abortion medical services.
