Abortion Activist Defends Infanticide: “Medical Necessity” May Require Killing Baby After Birth
Life News ^ | 9/29/14 | Steven Ertelt

When pro-life advocates take the pro-life message to college and university campuses, they never know what kind of response they’ll get. They see it all — counter protests, people changing their minds on abortion, and even violence.

Then, sometimes, they get some of the most outrageous responses from abortion activists who go out of their way to justify their view that abortion should be available on demand, for any reason and any time during pregnancy.

But the pro-life advocates with Created Equal saw that pro-abortion argument taken to the next level when they visited Ohio State University. There, one abortion activist said she saw no problem with infanticide, saying there may be medical cases that require killing a newborn baby after birth.

“You’re asking me whether I blanketly believe it’s wrong to kill a newborn baby after that baby’s been taken from it’s mother’s womb,” a protester to Created Equal’s outreach at Ohio State University asks pro-lifers in a newly-released video clip. She continues, “And I’m saying to you I have no idea what medical necessities or medical issues would arise that would necessitate that.”

Watch the video…

YouTube: "Medically necessary" to kill newborns?

Mark Harrington, director of the pro-life group, told LifeNews in response: “Why would this defender of abortion refuse to condemn killing babies after birth? Because she knows there is no morally relevant difference between a child immediately before and after birth. Thus, if it were acceptable to kill her inside the womb, it would also be permissible afterward.”

“Tragically, this protester is not alone. We’re encountering this at a growing rate,” Harrington added. “Once again we see that the worldview accepting the barbarity of abortion has ramifications for born humans, too. The old Russian proverb says, “If there is no God, everything is permitted.” If fewer and fewer Americans ground their morality in God, in what will they root it? Their personal arbitrary sense of right and wrong. We have our work cut out for us.”

So, it's not about the mother's health, it's not about the mother's "right to choose" -- it's about killing the baby and nothing else.

So she admitting that she knows of no reason why a post birth killing would ever be medically necessary.

"“You’re asking me whether I blanketly believe it’s wrong to kill a newborn baby after that baby’s been taken from it’s mother’s womb...and I’m saying to you I have no idea what medical necessities or medical issues would arise that would necessitate that.”

For example, if the newborn picked up a scalpel and lunged for it's mother's throat before jumping off the table and running upside down on the ceiling, out the window then up the exterior wall to the roof.

It would be a medical necessity to kill that baby. But most other babies post no further medical risk to the mother once born.

Or FemiNazi. Take a look at that woman holding up the sign in that picture will ya? She reinforces my belief that the women that make the biggest stink about being pro-choice are the ones that won’t need any abortions...

I’m sure the libtards will say that a post birth baby CAN pose a risk to the mother. After all what about post-partum depression?

Just a bunch of vile people that want to make murder legal.

"...I have no idea what medical necessities or medical issues would arise that would necessitate that."

Name one. Anything. Seriously - can you people (that term used loosely here) even come up with one situation that even remotely sounds legitimate??

yep, abortion is a religious cult. A religious cult with stark similarities to another religious cult.

At what age is a live baby not allowed to be murdered? Is that day a “special” birthday?

If they want their infanticide I think they should have it as long as they strangle their own kid to death with their own two hands instead of having the “hired hitman” known as a eugenist doctor “take care of it”....

(I say this sarcastically and don’t actually think such a thing should be legal, I am doing a jonothan swift modest proposal here freeples)

The ultimate argument against any utopian liberal crap policy is two words: You First!
