Also, Measles killed 145,700 people in 2013 alone, or about 400 per day.

That is, however, a 75% decrease from 2000... thanks to, you guessed it, vaccination.

Your best argument is the numbers argument.

However if the children of parents who choose to vaccinate are vaccinated, then they should be protected from those who's parents chose not to vaccinate them.

Look up herd immunity. And not everyone can get their child vaccinated as some have genuine health concerns. Not immunising decreases herd immunity which increases the likelyhood of outbreaks and children suffering.
