“Should JWs be allowed to refuse blood transfusions for their children?”

Interesting question. I guess to be consistent I would have to lean to yes. It is not that I don’t think you can find instances that seem irresponsible to us, I think the issue is should the government have that type of control over our lives. Should the govt force that same JW to have a transfusion if they don’t want one? We have seen what the govt chooses for our children, birth control for 6th graders, abortions without parental consent........... So again, who will be the arbiter of what is right and wrong? The answer is a bureaucrat that has no understanding of opposing beliefs, nor any care to try and understand. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Clinton's prove that.
