Please cite your sources. I've heard of no such Supreme Court ruling with regards to this specific case. All precedent cases I've seen ruled that parental rights end where the right to live of the children begin.
The current lawsuit that I'm aware of is the father suing the government because they didn't let him attend the hearing in which the judge issued the seizure order...
A clarification of why the doctors can suggest abortion and then turn around and fight for the preemies lives. Unborn fetuses in Canada do not have the same legal rights as preemies (although 97% of Cdn abortions happen in before the first 12 weeks is up, and another 2% happen before 16 wks). Once they're out of the womb, though, the legal standing changes. If the preemies take a breath after exiting the womb, then the doctors at that point treat them as they would any other child, and fight to save their life.
