In China, and a new-born baby girl, that is not true. Your right to exist will probably in a few minutes if you haven't already been murdered for being a girl - if the mom and dad haven't already decided to give the baby girl up for adoption.

That is why baby adoptions from China consist of girls leaving that country.

doesnt the parents action or inaction infringe upon the little girls right to life?

by withholding water that the child needed to survive arent they infringing upon the childs naturals right?

There is nothing in libertarian thinking that absolves a parent from the obligation of caring for his child, and there is nothing in libertarian thinking that elevates a child to the full "standing" of an adult. Thus, it is not expected that she provide for herself.
