Well said, and well worth the saying.

Your own high standards of courtesy, consideration, and noble sentiment are much appreciated, such as the use of "jerk" at

Your question was in response to a question (which you also never "addreeds"ed, btw), and implied that, since killing children already happened everyday (abortion), there was nothing wrong with a parent withholding medical treatment. If that was not you intent, perhaps you should clarify: do parents have the right to refuse ANY or ALL medical treatment at the risk/expense of their children's lives? Such a notion is alarming to most people, certainly most parents.

You know, I can understand some parents seeking "alternative" treatments when commonly accepted methods aren't working and their child's life is on the line. I can imagine I'd try just about anything to save my own children. But to refuse ANY treatment? It reminds me of backpack-laden children in the Middle-East, furthering the "cause" of their parents.
