We have lots of parents doing stupid and dangerous things in the name of their right to raise their kids as they see fit. Currently the most dangerously stupid things parents are doing is not vaccinating they children. That can cause harm to their children and the children of other parents.
So in that case, I don't believe parents should have the right to put other kids at risk just because they believe some stupid lies.
I know it won't hurt other kids, but I also don't believe in the right of parents to seek out alternate forms af medical treatment when their kids have a serious illness. That (IMHO) is abuse.
