Everyone was up in arms when they heard about the poor child. Everyone but the crazies thought that the parents were despicable people and should have been forced to give him insulin. If you followed the case, the parents loved their child...they were just idiots. |
There is a huge difference.
You seem to have trouble drawing lines, I don't have a problem with doing so. Life is full of variables.
Refusing medical treatment for a disease which your child has and is manageable through that treatment? Not ok.
Refusing a vaccination for a disease your child may very well never ever get and (if they could) is more likely to be of little consequence to their health than it is to be life or death? Fine.
You keep calling them idiots, do you see how mandatory educational programs fixes that long before mandatory injections does? What's the worst possible reaction from an education course? Making a friend? Isn't education how we usually fix idiots?
I'll ask YOU again. Are you anti-abortion or not? I'm curious to where you draw the line on the value of a life and a parent's right to choose.
