    What is even the argument for denying a child medical care?

    Yes, we all know this is insane and stupid, but for the sake of trying to understand, what is the best argument in favour of this?

      Children are the sole property of their parents and no gubmint is gonna tell me how to raise my kids.

      If a child is trans or wants an abortion, conservatives want the parents to be able to stop that and make the child suffer

      well, you see, trans people exist, so you must always have the right to rape your children and lock them in the basement and force them into cults.

      “I feed and clothe and give shelter to my child. I alone get to decide what’s right for them, including education and healthcare.”

      Thats how it usually goes. They don’t treat their children like human beings with their own will, but as property. Authoritarianism begins at home.

        Ya, that unfortunately sounds like it, and they fail to take into account that if there is an emergency their child can’t be treated. That’s the sort of thing that happens to other people and wouldn’t the Libs just love it if that happened…

      “How dare you go near my child’s genitals. The only people who want to that are pedophiles and gynecologists, and that’s bad!”
