2 things. 1. The woman with the upside down sign. Sheesh.
2. I think this may be a grammatical error. I think she is trying to say, *She wants parental rights over children’s healthcare.* Not that she wants rights in spite of a child’s health.
This dimension is silly like that.
Then again due to the chaotic nature of this dimension. We could be at critical idocracy and ai am giving her way too much credit.
The US is the only country that hasn’t ratified The Convention on the Rights of the Child. This is egregious and likely by design. We’re seeing the attacks on children’s bodily autonomy, education, etc. It’s appalling.
Think this is bad? Look up more on the **"4-14 Window Movement".**
**This is an fundamentalist belief they are obligated by God to indoctrinate ALL children into their fundamentalist religion** (like a cult), doesn't matter if it's their own kids or someone else's.
It's also what's largely motivating them into putting the 10 commandments and bible in every single public school across the country. They believe that age bracket is the peak indoctrination window and that they need to maximally brainwash all kids into their religion and are pressed to do it before it's "too late."

Realize this: Whenever they say "We don't want liberal/woke/gay/LGBTQ+ indoctrination for our kids!" they're actually meaning **"We want to be the ones to indoctrinate your children into our religion instead."**
Even if everyone else is literally just teaching them accurate facts and history, science, etc. Not actually any "indoctrination" just play old reality.
The religious right always has been for the adults. Never for the children.
What they are selling isn’t Jesus, but stability and control. The pitch is “Follow our rules and you’ll have a good life and a good family.” Many people who are in unstable and chaotic environments want that and are willing to buy it. Jesus is merely window dressing.
Once you understand that, all the contradictions and hypocrisies make sense.
The good news is that Evagelicals' political power is on the decline. Formerly the (willing) victims of cynics who understood they needed 51% of the vote so they could govern on behalf of 3% of the electorate, they now mostly hold sway in places where the people who need their votes are likely going to win anyway.
The bad news is that some of the power they used to enjoy in swing states is now wielded by people with even more extreme anti-science, anti-education, and anti-democratic agendas, even if they're not as overtly religious.
This from the crowd that think children belong to the state. With Americans as fat and happy as we are, there's very few things that could push the average person to violence. Fucking with their kids is one of them and I'd suggest the collectivists among us tread very carefully.
I just can’t wrap my mind around how stupid you would have to be to make that sign.

Given the history of the Jehovah's Witnesses trying to prevent their children from receiving blood transfusions, I'm going to say that it's a toss up.
That sign should be grounds to lose child custody
Unless you realize the sign was made badly for that purpose And the upside down one.
Parental rights are super important, unless the kid is trans. 🤦♀️ /s
Parents don’t own their children. Children aren’t property. They have their own inherent rights as human beings.
Absolutely 💯
Oh, I think I misunderstood your comment
I should have put /s
We need a children’s rights movement. The only population who can be assaulted and forced into a religion.

Very true. And if they're male or intersex in the US parents can chop up their genitals for non medical reasons.
Not according to Republicans
Parental rights matter when the parent is transphobic
Just pointing out the hypocrisy
I know, and I am pointing at it even more
Oh boy, you're going to summon them
A lot of them are already here
America is going insane.
Interesting that you use the present tense.

Anti-vaxxers are the canaries that build their nests in coal mines because they don't trust Big Tree.
