They don’t have any right to kill their child for their religious beliefs. The child is already a separate person, created by God, and their duty as parents is to protect that child and keep him or her alive. But flaky cults have other ideas, and power (the power of the cult) is all.
And, btw, abortion is a religion, or at any rate the sacrament of the civil religion, and pro-abortionists deny that the unborn child is a separate human being with a right to life...and increasingly, this is being used to deny born children (fragile or with defects or even possibly going to have defects) the treatment they need.
So I’d say the two extremes have met in the middle, on the pro-death side.

Be very careful when you say that!! Why? Then you get into a grey area! Then you say well parents don’t have the right to bring them up Christian if the kids protest if they don’t want to go to church!
