No.

Side Score: 8
VS.

Yes.

Side Score: 5

I wouldn't call it a right, I'd rather call it a responsibility.. they brought the kid to this world, the kid didn't ask them to bring it into existence..

Side: No.

I agree. Parents ought to be responsible for their children.................

Side: No.

I would say the ability to parent is a right but parenting in and of itself is both a privilege and a responsibility. A responsibility that a lot of people either take too seriously or not seriously enough

Side: No.

Hello s:

I would say so.. Of course, it would only come into question if some authority was claiming it wasn't.. But, you could argue that since EVERYBODY is doing it, and the authorities don't stop them, that it's, ipso facto, a right.. I say that driving is a right too, for the same reasons.. Of course, I have detractors..

Plus, the 9th Amendment clearly says that even IF a right ISN'T listed among the Bill of Rights, that doesn't mean there AREN'T other rights retained by the people..

Hello again,

It must be said that if you VIOLATE your parenting responsibility, you'll lose it.. But, the question wasn't about VIOLATING a parental right.. It was about whether you HAVE a parental right...

Parenting is a right in your world excon ? Where is it stated that you have a parental right is that in the 9th Amendment ?

Side: No.

Progressives in the Democrat Party never speak to the cruelty of dead beat parents who walk away from their children.

These sme iberals speak out much about cruelty to animals. We see their commercials non stop on tv.

Have you ever seen a commercial shaming selfish irresponsible dead beat parents who walk away from their children? Never and do you know why? Because many of these same people controlling our media have already walked away from their children.

The Left hates being shamed for their sins.

Side: Yes.
