"think of the children" has long been used as a strong moral-based support grabber, especially by the religious right. they can use "the children" as support for whatever cause they want. when someone (rightfully) points out a bill does very little (usually closer to outright nothing) to protect children or even harms them, they can say "So you don't care about children?" and make the logical person look like the bad guy

I am of the opinion children absolutely do need protection. From the religious right, of course.

Yes. Every time this sort of thing is pushed by religious conservatives it needs to be loudly broadcast that they're the ones who keep getting caught abusing children.

But the "liberal media" doesn't do that. For some reason.
