“Smoking in a car with a child is child abuse.”
So is teaching the bible, according to some folks.
“Preventing children from being poisoned by their stupid parents is the reason government exists.”
And you just provided the liberals the tool to ban home schooling.
If every aspect of your personal life is regulated by the government, do you have any freedom?
In America, what is still LEGAL?
For me, as a very long time smoker, smoking is my symbol of American freedom. When the government crosses that line into my personal life, then we have a problem....
What is the difference between "1984" and today's society?
Ok. So where do you want to draw the line on when the state can interfere or can't? Is it acceptable to inject a child with heroin? It's really silly to make a 'slippery slope' agreement on this stuff because you wind up either eliminating all protections or making stupid ones.
