We take so much for granted from our Christian heritage. The innate worth of any individual, including children, is one of Christianity's greatest contributions to western society. We have heard about this in relation to abolishing slavery and granting more status to women, but we don't often hear of it in relation to upholding the value and rights of children.

The pagan view of children was rampant in aboriginal peoples.
It likely still is in places where civilization does not reach.

Sadly, the radical left is in favor of bringing back many of those practices.

Galatians 4:
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

An incredibly arrogant and ignorant article.
The value of children isn’t a societal based norm, but those who seek to control society now appear to attack the family.
Obviously the author doesn’t have any close relationships with women, nor with any woman who has experienced childbirth.
Even the causal tie to Christianity fails to acknowledge several millennia of Judaism which also values the child.
