    This is the intent of the law, not some accidental consequence.

    First, make government appear non-functional.

    Second, protect child rapists.

    Fuck republicans, conservatives, fascists and all their ilk.

    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?

      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…

    But according to their faith it’s impossible that a parent rapes their kid.

    But if he did it’s probably his right or something

    While generally the phrase “the cruelty is the point” is a great way to show how Republican ideas hurt society, I don’t think it applies here. The law is meant to hurt trans people, or children who are sexually active, not kids who were raped by their parents.

      Being bared from healthcare is a god damn human rights violation in any context. If it somehow explicity prohibited specifically the things they think are wrong, sure, it’s still shit, but sure. But like this, they are quite literally stating that children don’t have the right for healthcare, it’s a privilege the parent must grant. It’s beyond fucked! The parent can legally kill their child now, as long as nobody bothers to file a proper neglect case.

      Comparing republicans to nazis is an insult to nazis; they at least actually had their fucked up family values. Republicans just want everyone to suffer more than them.

      not kids who were raped by their parents

      Depends on which kids and which parents. OP’s post has strong Chinatown energy.

          Do keep in mind that it is all empty posturing as the law actually excepts US allies from almost every “measure”.

    Even here in FL, kids over 12 have some degree of medical privacy. The county STD clinic will treat without informing parents, you cannot access health information online (which leads to a really weird few years when I can’t because they are 13 but they can’t, because they aren’t 18).

    And emergency services are different as well, there is no way a parent would be able to block a law enforcement action either.

    This law is bad, any kid who can’t trust their parents is harmed by it, but I don’t think it would do what the meme is implying. If someone is raped, that is a criminal offense not just a health event. If medics are asking they ought not be. Criminal evidence isn’t healthcare.

        They need to be calling the police, not deferring to the parent.
