Perhaps. But if so, we'd be better off if the comment that introduces it laid out some of the grounds for and implications of holding it.
Simply asserting it as an opinion about parental rights, with no sense of how the author even thinks about how to determine whether something is a right or not beyond a perhaps-relevant vague nod to pragmatism, sets up the discussion to be more fractious than productive.
Actually, having said that: I hadn't downvoted it (I don't downvote much), but having thought about it now, I suppose I ought to. All right, then: <downvotes>
I agree that it wasn't a very good comment, but I don't think it would have been downvoted as much if the topic matter were different. I think your reasons for downvoting it were valid.
Pavitra brings up a good point; the lack of capitalization could also be responsible for the extra downvotes.
