Girl dies of stupid parents

[Esquilax]

So, on this paticular issue you disagree with drich GodsChild?

I do not have enough facts from the doctors and parents to make a decision one way or the other, all I was trying to point out was how inconsistent atheist can be when they jump on the bandwagon without thinking and that I support parents being in all their child's medical decisions, but everyone had to get a burr under their saddle and defend the what I see as a wrong position on children and their parents.

You call it an inconsistency, but you're comparing apples and oranges. A lack of properly applied medical care can be, and has been in this case, lethal, whereas an abortion is not. Parents should be held accountable where their decisions lead to lethal effects, I don't see how anyone could argue against that, but when the stakes are considerably lower then we need to respect the bodily autonomy of the child, in the same sense that we'd be rightfully dismayed if a parent tried to force a child to donate an organ, say. I know these kinds of equivocations are theistic bread and butter, but when it's so entirely transparent you surely must know that every one of us will see right through it.
