It seems to me that the government acting to protect the child from parents that have some mental issues.  That seems reasonable, as no other person or entity seems willing to intervene there.

So it's not the right of the parents to raise their children how they see fit? Even if treatment would violate their religious beliefs you would approve?

I would.  Medical science must come before personal beliefs.  Parents denying medical treatment to their children on supposedly religious grounds has been ruled a crime.  What benevolent religion would deny a child the right to live?

So much for "pro choice" liberals. ha

I actually took that into account.  No religion would advocate abortion, just as no compassionate individual would.  Pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion.  I believe that a woman considering having an abortion, having done the soul-searching to arrive at her decision, would know better than a politician in Washington whether that decision is right.  But I still think it is unfortunate that the situation existed in which a woman came to the conclusion that an abortion would be her best option, and I feel sympathy for the loss of a potential life.
