When the religious beliefs of parents conflict with the medical needs of the child, medical care trumps religion.In Pennsylvania, and most other states, the law allows health and government officials to get court approval to provide medical care to save a child's life over the parents' religious objections. …Withholding medical care for religious reasons has caused the death of more than 60 children nationwide since the 1970s, the Massachusetts Citizens for Children reports, including one 1981 Pittsburgh case, two 1991 cases in Altoona and 13 cases in the Philadelphia area. …When medical or government officials become aware of seriously ill children whose parents are withholding medical care, the law allows them to intercede to prevent the child's death. Parents are entitled to their religious beliefs until they endanger their children."Religion always loses that battle," Mr. Oliver said. "It is easy for us as a society to draw the line because most people don't share those religious views of being torn between religious views and saving lives."Parents typically face involuntary manslaughter charges when the lack of medical care leads to a child's death
