Taking your logic could it not be the children at risk chose to be born that way ?

You can either admit your statement is gibberish or, you can accept its applicable in any scenario.

Choose one as you can’t have it both ways

Good point, so Richard believes any child/person who is abused actually ‘chose this’ and wanted it to happen. So how dare we intervene with laws preventing this?

Or we just assume it’s all gibberish and move on!
