California Lawmaker Seeks to Ban Spanking of Children Under 4, reports Fox News.
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, said such a law is needed because spanking victimizes helpless children and breeds violence in society. "I think it's pretty hard to argue you need to beat a child," Lieber said. "Is it OK to whip a 1-year-old or a 6-month-old or a newborn?" (emphasis mine, click the link above to read more)
Of course, Assemblywoman Lieber has to use typical liberal tactics and use emotionally charged, connotative words to try and re-frame reality. Who is arguing you need to "beat" a child? That's why we have two different words, 1) beat and 2) spank. And then the use of the word "whip" in the same sentence as "newborn". Is this what an education at a liberal college does for people?
Yes, there are child abusers out there, and of course that is wrong. But spanking, when done in love as an act of discipline, is no more "beating" a child than taking away free time if school work is not done is "psychological torture". Do we really think this will stop true child abusers?
