The classical liberal answer is that the state has no right to preempt the rights of parents to educate their children in their faith & ideas, in the name of providing tutelage.

In other words, their reply is “the woman (mother) has a right to choose.”

The parents. Choice is a hugely important right, especially when it means free exercise of religion. One needs a compelling interest - such as the loss of human life itself - to trump it.

They value a woman’s (I.E. mother’s) right to choose over the rights of the child. I understand.

The issue is not the child. The issue is who speaks for the child's rights, the parent or the State. I, as a classical liberal, say the parent.

Ah. I thought governments were instituted by men to secure our rights. I must’ve been mistaken. Sorry. Not sure where I got that idea.pic.twitter.com/Cvqrc6ACZr

“The issue is who speaks for the child's rights, the parent or the State. I, as a classical liberal, say the parent.” When the child is unborn, you’d say the same? The parents “speak for the child’s rights” and the state shouldn’t get involved?

Yes, unless they plan to, say, kill the child. I see what you're doing, but it doesn't work. The required line-drawing is not hard, & as with Catholic doctrine, is is based on a broader, deeper body of rules & ideas that have been developed, argued & explored for many years.

(1) If the child has its “inalienable rights” before birth, does it have its “inalienable rights” after birth? Yes or no? (2) Is the purpose of government to secure those rights? (as the Declaration of Independence says)
