Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

What if the parents say their faith prohibits seatbelts, car seats and encourages alcohol abuse 24/7. If they cause a DUI accident that kills their children, are they immune from prosecution?

This is outrageous! My FAITH says abortion is a medical procedure & shd be available to ALL women who need or want it bc a FETUS is NOT a living breathing child!
