RIGHTS: Parents can let kids die

In 2011 Idaho lawmakers voted on a resolution that declared: “Here in America, the role previously left to parents is being usurped by faceless bureaucrats.” Recently, the Idaho House voted in favor of a bill which “would make clear that parents have a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, education and control of their children.” The bill will also enforce and protect the right of parents to willfully let their children die based on their religious beliefs. To quote Republican legislator Christy Perry, “If I want to let my child be with God, why is that wrong?”

This bill could be good news for all pregnant women, i.e. no more faceless bureaucrats poking into their fundamentals.
