I wrote the post below several days ago but saved it till now to post. Meanwhile, on that very topic of governmental interference into private family matters comes this story about a judge who ordered the parents of a 13 year old with cancer to have the child undergo chemo against their initial objections.
I freely admit that I don’t know much about this matter, and I feel bad for the judge who has to make such a decision and for the parents for having to deal with such a heavy issue. To say nothing of the 13 year old. Please God, may I or anyone I know ever have to be in such a situation.
But, here’s a perfect example the government intervening in a private family matter. Which, according to Mr. Obama’s interpretation of Roe v. Wade, is a violation of a fundamental American principle.
Funny how I come up with a bunch of crazy scenarios for my post, and meanwhile, a real-life issue materializes at the same time.
