Christian parents let their baby die because of their faith. Now they’re going to prison. Michigan parents who let their own baby die instead of taking her to a doctor who could have helped her, all because of their Christian faith, were sentenced last week to 20 years in prison. It’s the culminatio...
The story began in early 2017, when Abigail Piland was born without any obvious problems. But when the midwife who helped deliver her checked back the next day, Abigail didn’t look healthy. The midwife told mother Rachel Piland to take the child to a hospital because the baby “could suffer brain damage or die if not properly cared for.”
Rachel refused, insisting “God makes no mistakes.”
Days later, Abigail was dead. (Rachel and her husband Joshua then prayed for Abigail’s resurrection. Surprise: That didn’t work, either.)
A medical examiner later attributed the death to “unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus,” both jaundice-related problems that were treatable. Abigail never had the chance to see a doctor when blood was coming out of her mouth, or when she wasn’t eating, or when her skin became further discolored. All because her parents put more trust in God than someone who could actually help.

Great. Add their incarceration to our collective expenses the ruling class hands down. 🤮
If killing a child =/= execution, what hope is there for the politicians culpable for far worse? Hand-wringing pansies. 🖕🏼
What? Do you think the state should be not just allowed, but encouraged to kill people?? Wtaf are you doing on dbzer0 you bootlicker?
And your solution is what, exactly, you child?
p.s. "Blessed"? Really? 🤣 Who's your favorite make-believe friend, you hypocrite? Fuck all religions. 🖕🏽
Clearly these people should never be trusted to care for a child, but as an anarchist, I think letting the state execute people who violate its laws sets a terrible precedent.
And my username is a videogame reference you fucking imbecile. Do you even know what the fuck a hypocrite is? Because I really don't see how you got that from my comment.
