The fact that some deranged parent wants to kill a five year old is not justification to suspend the civil liberties of the innocent.

[A.J.Armitage]

The fact that some deranged parent wants to kill a five year old is not justification to suspend the civil liberties of the innocent.

That makes no sense at all.

Let me repeat the question, in a little more detail. If the parents, as the surrogates for their children, decide to kill them, do you apply the same logic to those particular parents and let them off? The civil liberties of the innocent have nothing to do with it, unless you think killing children is a civil liberty.
