Except it’s not your body. It’s the child’s. Parental rights are not absolute, and the state can and should step in to stop neglect and/or abuse. Antivaxxers think that their children are either extensions of their bodies or their possessions. https://t.co/kcCwg7sYjR

A child develops cancer. With treatment he has an 85% chance of surviving it, 0% without treatment. The parents decide to treat the child with prayer instead of medicine. Are you honestly saying the state should let this child die of medical neglect? You’re OK with that? I’m not.

HEY GUYS! I found the guy that thinks praying is a VALID alternative when choosing to deal with sick children! *takes a selfie and leaves*

So you think parents have an absolute choice to make an *invalid* choice, to treat their child any way they deem fit, even if it means denying them life-saving medicine in favor of magic and letting the child die a horrific death from cancer. Message understood.

Prayer does not cure cancer. It is not an alternative to medicine.
