Free speech is understood to have limits; for example, you can't say "Let's all go to John Smith's house and burn it down!" to a crowd of people and be exempt from punishment when they do. Other recognized exceptions to free speech guarantees include copyright law, bribes, threats, blackmail, etc. To me, counseling someone to withhold medically-necessary treatment for children has a lot in common with the other exceptions.Jeffrey Shallithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763971505497961430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-54377480732508655242010-03-10T17:01:22.126-05:002010-03-10T17:01:22.126-05:00Miranda, since you employed the word "logical...Miranda, since you employed the word "logical" in your typically vacuous comment, lets be logical...<br /><br />Assume you can take two measures A and B to bring something about, consider four cases:<br /><br />1. Doing A and B: success<br />2. Doing A only: success<br />3. Doing B only: fail<br />4. Doing neither: fail.<br /><br />I would say B fails to bring about the desired outcome when attempted in cases 1. and 3. <br /><br />You would have B get credit for case 1??<br /><br />It's sad that so many threads get bogged down in semantic discussions when clear communication and straightforward thinking don't back the commenters' positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-58925885959088778232010-03-10T15:55:32.795-05:002010-03-10T15:55:32.795-05:00Under the law you suggested, could a Jehovah's...Under the law you suggested, could a Jehovah's Witness priest be guilty of a crime for recommending to a follower that they not receive a blood transfusion?
