syncbehind on July 16, 2023 [–]

In the absence of someone's ability to give consent - ie. Informed consent in medical terms- the responsibility is assumed by the parents or guardian.

Since an infant or fetus is unable to provide consent, why would you think a parent is incapable of doing so?

This is a baffling line of thought to me.
