Ours certainly is an overly-sensitive culture. Kids in our neighborhood can’t peddle all of one block without head-to-toe crash gear. It seems to me that the latest string of bullyphobia on steroids owes in large part to our disproportionately paedo-centric culture. Which also seems to be what drives large portions of the pro-life movement. What’s this on your sideboard, a link to a screedy organization that promotes as much fear and loathing and uber-specialness of children as any anti-bullying campaign? So it seems to me what animates the social justice Christianity behind this pro-life group is what tends to animate the bully police: children are the untouchables who deserve to be kept from the injuries of life the rest of us must endure.
Stop panicking indeed. Couldn't the pro-lifers you prop up stand to use some of that advice?
There's an elementary difference between being overprotective of children and legalizing the right to murder children. The fact that you can't draw that distinction illustrates the morally lobotomized nature of 2k.
There have been over 50 millions abortions since Roe v. Wade. In what sense is the prolife movement "panicking"?
And this, in turn, has laid the foundation for infanticide, involuntary euthanasia, and involuntary organ-harvesting.
You yourself have a lot of innocent blood on your hands by constantly opposing those who oppose mass murder. You're a Quisling who will have much to answer for on the Day of Judgment for your complicity and collaboration.
Those who support "social justice" often support abortion, so your pejorative label mislabels the opposition.
BTW, are you judging parents who outfit their kids with safety gear? Shouldn't a 2k proponent mind his own business regarding the child-rearing philosophy of other parents?

1. You were once a child. Where would you be if your parents didn't try to protect you from "the injuries of life"?
2. What good parent doesn't think of their child as "uber-special" to them? What's wrong with this innate intuition?
3. Usually "untouchables" are considered the lowest of the low in society, people working the most undesirable jobs in society, etc. But you're using "untouchables" to indicate an overly privileged position for children. So this is another mislabel.
