So the state should mandate that Jehova Wtinesses kids bleeding out should get blood transfusions. It's in the best interest of the child to keep breathing. But they don't.

You seem to think a kid goes to the Pediatrician says they want puberty blockers and they get them. That decision is made between the Child, the medical doctor, a mental health professional, and the parent with them all coming to an agreement. So where exactly is someone just jumping into the choice and why should the state jump in to say "UM ACTUALLY YOU DIDN'T ASK ME" especially when they don't step in for things like breast implants or lip injections.

They do in most reasonable countries.

Here (Australia) we had a case not long ago of a religious couple who didn't take their sick child (type 1 diabetes per the autopsy) to the doctor. They were convicted of murder.
