Who Needs A Family When You've Got A Government?

Instead of supporting the family, many governments are usurping its prerogatives, Brian Lilley says in his article. I can't agree more:
The late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau famously said, “The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nations.” The remarks were made by Trudeau when, as Justice Minister in 1968, he sought to decriminalize homosexual acts and relax Canada’s restrictions on abortion. Forty years later, the Canada Trudeau left behind still seems to believe that the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation — but can make itself very active in its living rooms.
In fact, the government has no choice but to be active in our living rooms. How else would all those militant secular pro-abort and anti-family folks prevent their ranks from shrinking? Just compare the birth rates and you could easily see what exactly would happen to the socially perverse crowd if parents were allowed to raise their children without the secular fundamentalist brainwashing.

Government's responsibility is to protect its citizens, and this is done through laws. This is government's original function and reason for existing. Since many parents insist on hitting their offspring, these citizens need legal protection. At present citizens aged 2-12 are excluded and this is wrong. Canada should join the 24 countries that have banned child hitting. If Costa Rica, Israel, New Zealand and half of Europe can do it, so can Canada. The benefits will be reduced child abuse, less violent crime, and better family relations.
