The debate over to whom children ultimately belong is one that has been growing in intensity for some decades. It’s actually not all that new, as governments have argued for greater or lesser control over the children within their jurisdictions for millennia. It just so happens that we’ve been in an era of bigger government, hence the desire by some in government to usurp parents’ rights and responsibilities has grown.
Hillary Clinton inserted herself into the debate years ago, asserting that it “Takes a Village” to properly raise a child as she pronounced in her book. This is the leftist position she maintains and continues to promote. Raising children is ultimately up to the government, she avers, as though anyone with his or her children’s best interests at heart would want them to grow up to be like the Clintons.
But it’s not just Hillary who is on the wrong side of this issue. There are many in academia who are proposing similar theories. Pushed to the extreme, it become a policy of either raise your kids within government guidelines, or the government will seize them and raise them for you.

I have two children. I had morning sickness 24/7 for my entire pregnancies. I was in labor for 51 hours with my first one, and for 39 hours with my second one. I bought their clothes and food, paid for swimming lessons, sports, bought Christmas and birthday gifts, bought them cars to drive, and paid for college. They are MY children, a gift from God, who gave me the responsibility for providing them life and raising them according to HIS Word! They do not belong to the “state”, the “community”, the “government” or anyone else!!! I nurtured them, and they belong to no one but themselves!!! If anyone had EVER tried to take them from me in ANY way, there would have been WAR!!! And I guarantee they feel the same way about THEIR children!!!
In Jesus name Amen
