in Not That Kind of Libertarian: Puzzles of Children’s Rights on Will Wilkinson
[Children] have a right to be fed, educated, clothed, sheltered, and given medical care on someone else's dime. And if their parents abdicate this responsibility, then it passes onto the community, including the state, even if none of us asked said parent to reproduce.

Why must this be done on someone else's involuntary dime? Look around. Hearts that bleed are legion. These bleeding hearts, with a spring in their step, would gladly and willingly look after these darling unfortunates. There are plenty of people who loudly, regularly, and at great length spare no breath to announce that their hearts bleed great gushing gouts. Surely not all of them are sanctimonious liars.
