It will pass and you will wonder where the time went, but yeah, can you imagine risking all their lives for some harebrained sailing voyage?

Good point, though I think that had to do with a plane crash.

Heartless BS. That mentality is precisely what the younger generation associates with conservatism, and this is why they won’t vote for our side. Unbelievably cold. If a convoy of USN corpsmen passed a car accident, , should they simply pass it by and not jump in?

Well, actually this IS part of the job of the coast guard.

900 miles off the coast of Mexico?

Wholeheartedly agree. This sort of thread, in a nutshell, is exactly what people point to when they say that conservatives aren't pro-life, they are simply anti-abortion. This baby didn't ask for stupid parents, but it got them, and he/she deserves to be rescued if rescue is possible.

Either we care about the lives of innocents, or we don't. If we do care, we don't get to stop caring when babies are born.

Yup. Anyone remember the story a year or two back about the hikers out west that hit their emergency locator beacon because they were hungry and forgot their lunch?

I’m fully on board with the right of parents to be idiots with their kids, but I am also fully supportive of them paying for it.

no, but they should be handed a bill for services rendered.

Nothing to worry about, Obamacare will cover it.

I didn’t see a majority of comments being cold, or heartless ... just people sick of cleaning up after idiots ... helping useless liberals survive is one reason we have so many liberals! Libs have a smaller amygdyla than do conservatives ... a liberal has a lion in their face and says ‘nice kitty’ ... the conservative gets out of there or shoots it!

So, babies of some parents aren't worth saving? What does being liberal or conservative have to do with whether or not it is appropriate to save a child when it is possible to do so?

...just people sick of cleaning up after idiots

Of course, that has nothing to do with innocent children, but it gives you an excuse to turn the other way, right?

...helping useless liberals survive is one reason we have so many liberals!

So, some children are "useless" and the children of liberals deserve to perish? Do you call yourself "pro-life"? Do you consider yourself a decent person?

People are free to do foolish adventures. But you gotta admit bringing a 1 year old child is beyond stupid and completely selfish.

I’m fine with the Navy bailing them out, if only to give the blameless kids the chance their parents nearly pissed away. But it does not cost zero dollars to redirect a ship to their location.

Or do you suppose in the whole blue ocean they just happened to run into them buy chance? Or are you one of those conservatives that like liberals believes actions should have no consequence? Read up on these people and their prior actions and get back to me. Or don’t.

Our nation was founded by people who threw their babies in a wagon and went out beyond.
