Following on from the comments I've seen from Walter Block, I have been shown some even worse comments from Murray Rothbard... How it is immoral to legally compel a parent to feed, clothe and educate their child.
Frankly, it is far more immoral to have a society where it is legally permissible to allow your child to starve to death. If you don't want to bear the responsibility of raising a child, don't get pregnant... Or if you end up in a situation with an unwanted pregnancy... Get an abortion. Or if you really can't handle that... Put your child up for adoption... All of these things are far preferable to starving your kid to death just because you can't deal with him or her.
Arguing that it should be legal to neglect your child in such a fashion is incredibly fucking sick and twisted... And anyone who tries to apologise for this sickeningly evil little fuck deserves everything they get.
Rothbard's ethically-vacuous nonsense, where he makes these statements:
