No they can't. They have guardianship duties, while the child is a minor, but they can't kill them, enslave them, or rob them of their lawful inheritance rights under any circumstances. Even children in the womb have always had inheritance rights.

A child's inheritance can be taken by the parent cutting him from the will. Children can be forced to work -- that's "involuntary servitude". Children can't be legally murdered but we are talking about unborn children. By the way, technically a child can be legally killed, but the states have the right to decide the circumstances.

But, in any case, are you arguing that parents have the right to kill their offspring?

No they shouldn't. Nor do I think Thad they should have unrestricted right of abortion. I'm just saying that the states, not the Federal Government has the authority to regulate or prohibit such things.

Well, functionally, you’re arguing that Utah babies have a right to life, while California babies do not. That is the death of the republic.

Excuse me?
