For little babies, they should be kept warm. Even if the parents are out in tank tops, doesn't mean that the babies should be too. Babies like to be warm, they just came out of something around 99 degrees, they are use to it being warm, and will continue to like warmth for a few months.

Keep looking, you are missing someone.

People like that shouldn't have the right to be parents. If they can't even put a coat, scarf and some gloves on the poor kid, then I agree, it should be considered child abuse.

I've seen plenty of the opposite scenario too....where it's 95 degrees outside and the parents are walking around in a tank top and shorts and have their baby all bundled up in long sleeves, long pants, and a heavy blanket. That's just as bad IMO. The bottom line: dress your baby up the same way you would dress yourself up, and MAYBE add one additional thin layer for real young ones. If you wouldn't be comfortable bundled up in blankets and jackets, your baby won't be either. 
That's not true. The general rule of thumb is until they're getting up on their own (sitting up, rolling over, crawling etc.) is what you are comfortable in + one layer of warmer clothing. A newborn still needs to be wrapped up even in warm weather.
Yes, but not heavy pajamas plus wrapped up in a heavy blanket plus covering the carrier with another blanket. And I'm not talking newborns who are less than a month old - I'm talking 6-month olds. I see it all the time around here. Yes, you have to keep the kid warm, but not roasting (one layer of extra clothing, not 2 or 3).

That's not what I'm replying to, nor does it have anything to do with what I said, so I really don't understand why you felt the need to come back with this reply.

I'm not arguing with you - I'm agreeing with you. You're correct in stating that the rule of thumb is one layer of clothing on top of what you're comfortable in. My point (not necessarily in argument with you) is that I see a lot of parents go WAY overboard and put 2 or 3 additional layers on their kids (like it's 100 degrees out and they have them dressed in fleece pajamas, wrapped in a receiving blanket, and have another heavy blanket draped over them.
