Calling people names doesn’t change the truth of what you support.
It comes down to the definition of neglect and harm. You consider skipping any vaccination to be neglect and harm.
Here is a USA today story debating if exposure to religion is good for kids: http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2014/07/24/eliyahu-federman-kids-religion/13091745/
So why is your stance on what is harmful/neglect superior to theirs... because you say so? Because you know best? Isn’t that the very heart of leftist government is the answer liberals?
My kids got their vaccinations as children, but I don’t want to government making that choice mandentory.
The Republican stance needs to be that Vaccinations should CONTINUE to be a parents decision. There have been no deaths to measles and thus there is no excuse for a government power grab.
If they would be smart enough to answer that way, there would be little room for media to make hay with the answers.
Go back through this thread and point out to me to where I said that.

Your argument is silly. There are definitions of neglect that we agree to. They aren't made by "the government" they're laws passed by representatives of the people of the United States, signed by their executives, and reviewed for uniform application, fairness, and due consideration of their rights by the judiciary. All this is done in hearings with medical professionals and concerned citizens. There isn't some bureaucrat [or FReeper] arbitrarily making a declaration somewhere about what's good for your kids, and there are legitimate exemptions for conscience.
When did this anarcho-libertarian strain infect conservatism? Next you'll be telling me that traffic lights warranted by the DOT are an unreasonable intrusion into your right to operate your motor vehicle in whatever way you please. You don't have the right to harm your children. Those decisions are made by the polity. If you don't like that, go live in the wilderness somewhere. Civilization places some restraints on us. Deal with it.
