Make a law prohibiting Jehovah's Witness parents from telling doctors their child can't have blood.

Created by K.B. on March 27, 2013

Countless children have died because of their Jehovah's Witness parents prohibiting doctors from giving their children blood. Children such as babies or small toddlers can't speak for themselves, and many parents have let their children die because of their no blood rule. Make it a law that the parents cannot prohibit the doctor from giving the child blood if the child is under 13 years old. If the child is over 13 years old, make it the child's choice, not the parent's. It's the child's body, it's the child's choice.
