It's not just antivaxxers who view their children as extensions of themselves or their property. Far too many parents think "parental rights" are absolute and that the state should not be able to intervene when they choose quackery over medicine for life-threatening illnesses. 1/ https://t.co/VK4uVZsxTZ

This attitude that parental rights are absolute kills children. It's not theoretical. It's not hypothetical. It's real, and I've written about more cases than I can remember over the last 15 years. 4/4

Correction, not clearly an antivaxxer (my bad), just someone who jumped into my timeline saying that if parental rights aren't absolute that must mean that the state owns the children, in other words, a classic false dichotomy.
