In 2009, Herbert and Catherine Schaible’s two-year-old son died of pneumonia because they belong to a Christian Fundamentalist church that believes only in faith healing.
They were given ten years’ probation in his death.
You can guess what just happened. Yes, now their eight-month-old baby has died after being very sick and getting lots of prayers, but no medical help.
Look, if they don’t want to see a doctor for themselves, they can pray themselves to death as far as I’m concerned. But when it comes to their minor children, they don’t have that right.
I think of the parents in Africa or Latin America who would cut off their right arm to get their baby some medical help and none is available to them, while these morons refuse to drive to the ER.
Maybe we need a little more state, and a little less church, to protect our children.
That’s incredibly sad.
And inexcusable. It’s one thing if one child dies, but to let the same couple kill another one.
So they are pro-choice after birth for themselves, but anti-choice for others who wish to have an abortion. Fundamentalist in any religion are nuts. Let’s hope the jail time this time.
