It caught my attention because I am working to support the amendment which you are arguing against. I have read your concerns and considered their plausibility. I understand why you argue against Section 2. My only answer is that Section 2 provides the understood definition of a "fundamental right" found in Section 1. We, as no one would, argue for an absolute right of parents. This would prevent prosecution of child abuse by parents. A fundamental right seems to be the highest right in constitutional law that is appropriate for this issue. I also have a question. Given the erosion of parental rights already occurring and the potential for their legal disappearance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, what do you propose as an alternative. Would you support an amendment with sections 1 and 2? Do you have other ideas? I hope to hear from you. If I am wrong about the amendment, I hope you will convince me. If you are misunderstanding Section 2, I hope I can persuade you to support the amendment. Sincerely, Eric Potter MD Tennessee Director for Parental Rights.Org Good Morning,
