Parents have all kinds of rights simply because they are the parents and not just because of general rights like freedom of expression. Obviously. If you disagree I'll happily choose the name of your next kid. Because, you know, parents have no rights besides those everyone has anyways.

I get that the article is trying to make a point for children's rights, I fully support that, but the choice for a headline is really, really bad. If you care about the matter you should not defend that headline because it makes the "pro child rights" side look silly. As if the only way for children to have rights was denying the existence of rights of parents. That does not help anyone.
Check which community you are posting this to.
His point about the headline stands. They directly contradict themselves in the very first two sentences.
There is such a thing as parents rights, but those rights have limitations, just like every right we hold.
... so in Canada a stranger can name your kids? Or, you know, maybe the parents?
