It's not a right, Jeff. Rights are negative, never positive.

Using the same logic, they would have no right to prevent their children from engaging in sex acts with whomever they want to, correct? Including in front of cameras for porn films, no?

Rights are negative, not positive. These oddball hypotheticals aren't really about rights. But, I'll keep answering them. No, they don't have that right. No one has that right.

It doesn't mean that parents shouldn't stop it. It's just not about rights.
