I think that in the case of other medications, parental consent is required. In the case of Title X, the intent was to provide contraception to sexually active teens to prevent pregnancies so that they have a shot at a decent life. The problem with most teen pregnancies, it is the mother who suffers. She ends up dropping out of school to care for the baby. That costs society in terms of her lifetime earnings and being able to support herself and her child. It's better for society as whole to encourage teens to delay pregnancy until they have finished their education and can support themselves and any families that they create.
