These laws and court prosecutions are neatly placing the government’s foot inside the door of the family home.

Next step: what if parents go to the doctor and hospital and pursue various conventional treatments, but finally are faced with treatment choices A and B, where they want to choose A NOT B, but ma government says A is not the best choice, so unless they choose B they are in violation of the law.

While I may not agree with these parent’s particular exclusion of fairly standard medicine, I have to think about what if I wanted to take some course of action that they did not agree with ? Would I want to be dictated to ? When ma government crosses the line of dictating choices WITHIN a family (which has been getting more out-of-control for 100 years), America is crossing a dangerous, dangerous line.

Like, what if you are forced into a hospice since you are “too costly to the government” ? And any other option is criminalized ?

Americans better start getting extremely angry and voting out EVERYONE who does not 100% agree that ma government needs to GET OUT OF OUR HOMES.

On another politically-correct note: what if these folks were muslim ? I’d like to know if anyone has ever heard of a Western government anywhere in the past 10 years siding against muslim parents, other than the 1 single case of the 17 year-old girl, whose case was going to be moot when she reached the age of majority in months anyway.

That is why this simply more left-wing anti-Christian tactics. Now, it’s like it’s always been, it’s not like the commies really care much about Christianity, it’s just that dictatorial regimes always find it convenient to stomp out any organized groups other than there own party or ones that they are using.

My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and told that without treatment she would have only a year or two left. The treatment ended up killing her in two months. My grandmother followed the advice of her physicians and died much sooner than if she would have ignored their advice.

Doctors are not always right... I am very uncomfortable with the state mandating that we must follow their advice. I work with paramedics doctors and nurses on a regular basis. I know a dirty little secret from first hand experience. They all exaggerate on a regular basis to get people to follow their advice. Many of them out and out lie. Generally they do this because they think that it is in their patent’s best interest, but many of them also do it for their own convenience.

There is a common concept in our society and in the law and country in general for the last 100 years or so that the government will protect children, even from abuse by their own parents. If you want to change that make your case.
