The Texas Girl Who Died From Measles

11. "Why his daughter's death matters to the rest of the country..."

People's deaths matter to all of us.

A murdered person's death matters, and we have laws to arrest the murderer, even if we didn't know the victim personally. Even if the victim isn't a member of our family.

A child dying from an easily preventable disease matters to all of us, especially as it's the beginning of an epidemic that will affect us all.

This idea that "it's my family and I'll do whatever I want with them" is against our Constitution. We are a nation of laws. If Peter doesn't like that, he can move.
