2. they do have the right to believe that which they wish. the constitution gives them that right. but does the constitution give them the right to let their right to religious practice override their childs right to life, liberty and happiness? i don't think so.
They either have the right to practice their religious beliefs, or they don't. Like you said the constitution gives them that right, so you cannot draw a line down the middle. They were only doing what they knew best to do (looking to their God), and unfortunately their child dies because of it. Don't you think they feel bad enough? I highly doubt their purpose was to kill their child, but according to the constitution they have the right to practice their beliefs. It doesn't say anywhere, "Except when it comes to medical well-being."
