110 CMR, § 11.06 - Pregnancy
(1)
Consent by
Child. A child who is pregnant or believes themself to be pregnant
may give consent to her own medical and dental care (except sterilization). The
consent of the Department is not necessary to authorize medical or dental care
for any such child in the care or custody of the Department, or any such ward
of the Department. For abortion see M.G.L. c. 112,
§§ 12F and 12R and
110 CMR 11.07.
(2)
Consent by Department or
Parent. If a medical provider refuses to treat a child who is
pregnant or believes themself to be pregnant without parental or Department
consent, or if such child refuses to consent or is not able to consent to
medical or dental care, the Department may consent (except to abortion or
sterilization).
