But only for the mother… Fathers have no rights, only responsibilities. Even for children not your own if the woman mixes up who impregnated her… After all, once the baby is out of the mother, why is she then the only one with a right to choose? After all, it’s no longer her body we are discussing… In fact, why is it only her right during the entire pregnancy? If the right to choose folks really want folks to have a right, then it should be fully inclusive, shouldn’t it? 😀

But kill the baby on the day before, or the day after its birth? Let’s make that a lawful right.

. . . right.

So, even putting aside the “false positive” issue and the affirmative harm it does to children, there are situations where CPS is powerless to act, notwithstanding the possibility of harm. In other words, kids will be hurt sometimes, and that’s the way it is. Just like sometimes criminals get away with crime and wind up hurting others. But that’s not even what is going on—often CPS is vindictive, wrong, incompetent etc. What then is the remedy?
