“a law Tennessee passed last year that requires the direct consent of birth parents or legal guardians”
Yeah, that ought to get some prog panties into a twist.

“they create obstacles to vaccination, the foundation of pediatric care.”
They create obstacles to massive pharma profits and perceived gubbermitt “authoritah.”

Dramamine? Anyone have any Dramamine?
.
OK, now they switch from parents rights to the children’s rights.
Except when it comes to abortion. Then a woman's *right* trumps all.
When liberals get all bleeding heart about *the children* they are full on hypocrites, because they show that they only (pretend to) care about the children when it is profitable somehow for them to do so, either financially, or by gaining power and control over others.
