The Boston Herald reports that spanking a child may be outlawed in the Bay State. While this is a ’slap’ in the face to parents’ rights everywhere, these liberals have finally made a positive move in the area of a child’s rights. Forget for a moment that Massachusetts already has laws against child abuse and follow the logic here:
If spanking a child is considered child abuse, then surely killing a child in the womb or out of the womb is to be outlaw next. So I expect, logically, that the liberal Massachusetts legislation will soon be hearing from the public about the ultimate form of child abuse…wait…sorry…I was using logic here. Never mind, I just realized I used “logic” and “liberal” in the same sentence. My bad.
Proverbs 23:13
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Proverbs 13:24
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
