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.
I’m not buying your “what if” argument.
What if the son of these parents died because they didn’t seek medical care for him and what if the 15 month old granddaughter of these two died because their daughter and son-in-law refused medical care for her.
In the above two what ifs that’s exactly what happened and those children are dead.
The law in Oregon was changed in 1999 because of this church and the number of their children in a graveyard.
