They're not hypocritical, they're just wrong as a matter of theology & medicine. Their premises & core values are different than mine. And government should not seek lightly to exterminate minority religions it finds strange & uncomfortable.https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1260722734411194369 …
Under the Catholic understanding, which is widely shared in most Christian sects and among most in the Western tradition, actively refusing basic medical treatment for kids is wrong. The Christian Scientists are wrong. I just see the problem with forcing them at gunpoint.

Right. I disagree. If the state can stop a parent from breaking a kid's leg, they should stop the parent from denying them chemo. As for "religious liberty" as the deciding factor, I don't think "religion" deserves special protection.
