Hey Gang Look at what a judge said yesterday, Edmondson said it is not uncommon for courts to rule that the best interests of a child override parental rights, comparing the 6-year-old boy to children whose parents reject medical care for religious reasons. It's not that the parents are insincere, Edmondson said, "but it seems to be so conspicuously in conflict with the needs of the child." Look at what I said last night "The rights of the father are not as fundamental as the child's right to life. Sending the boy to Cuba will demonstrably be harmful to him; no parental right can trump the right to life. Besides, there are no rights, let alone parental rights, in Cuba; and they boy is in fact the property of the state, not the ward of his father. "
