Six (6) states allow parents to withhold medical care for children.
Hundreds of kids are dying for lack of medical care, being withheld by parents who do not believe in medical care. They say illness is always in GODS hand. He will take care of the children. Six Republicans states allow this and the state of Idaho has one cemetery that over half the graves are of children. Death from being sick. The state law makers in those 6 states will not discuss or do any interviews on this topic.
Yet these same people are against abortions, yet are ok with their kids dying in their arms.
This topic needs must more attention from the people. Why are these kids allowed to die, when medical treatment would cure them.
