So this poor 13 year old boy, mentally challenged will die from cancer unless he gets treatment. His mother refuses to save his life and runs away with him. Many people I have talked to think that it is the parents responsibility only if they choose to treat him or not. If they choose to ignore his illness he will only have a 5% chance of survival.

I remember when I was 13 and I remember I sure as hell did not want to die at that age. But I had a voice. I could speak for myself. Apparently this child has a handicap. He is slower.
If he could stand up and beg for his life would the same people that now support his parents decision then tell him "no, sorry but you have to have your mothers approval to live"...? I can't imagine that.
Does pro life only apply to the unborn?

It makes no sense to me?
