And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. Leviticus 18:21

pass through Molech signifies a king, or governor, of similar import with Baal, lord, or governor; and it is generally supposed that the sun was worshiped under this name; and more particularly as the fire appears to have been so much employed in his worship. It seems clear that children were not only consecrated to him by passing through the fire, which appears to be alluded to here, but that they were actually made a burnt offering to him. That the several abominations afterwards mentioned were actually practiced by many heathen nations is abundantly attested by their own writers.

"If you are allowed to abort a fetus that has a severe genetic defect, microcephaly, spina bifida, or so on, then why aren’t you able to euthanize that same fetus just after it’s born?"

This only makes sense if the good Dr. is assuming that an unborn child is fully human. Thus, he's saying if its OK to intentionally kill an unborn, living human being then it should be OK to kill a fully born, living, human being with the same physical defects. This goes against the long time rationale of the left for abortion - that a fetus is not a human being but only a potential human being with no rights. The Dr. claims this is "moral". I would ask the Dr. - "What is the foundation of an objective morality"? (the only possible answer is a transcendent creator, otherwise there can be no objective morality)

You’re right; I’ve never met a pro-infanticide person who didn’t want it used to exterminate blacks. That’s the absolute truth, and the reason why abortion-on-demand is here to stay. Many want it subsidized by the government because in their evil twisted minds the extermination of urban blacks is a public service.

Nineteenth century European materialists have no business having a moral code of any kind. Matter doesn’t have morals.

The liquidation of the oppressive, self appointed elite is morally acceptable.

Ghouls like this asshole will be chairing the death panels once the USA goes single-payer.

If he is right, then professor-cide is also morally acceptable.

“why not extend euthanasia to mental defectives”

Black genocide is a reality. Democrats have been murdering black babies for decades.

I worked in a large office where the secretaries were mostly black since hiring was mostly word-of-mouth.
In the break room we got on the subject of bad habits. They were all church goers. They loved children. We all liked dogs.
I mentioned Pavlov’s conditioned responses: dog fed so salivates when bell rung, etc. Deer caught in headlights expressions all around: PavaWHO?

If they knew that “progressive” Margaret Sanger’s express plan, as realized by Planned Parenthood, was to keep African-Americans from reproducing by murdering them in utero, they might stop their knee-jerk support of baby killers like this one and the Democrats.

Well if Mr. Coyne’s opinion of infanticide being morally acceptable is valid, then my opinion of liberal eldercide is equally valid and I nominate Mr. Coyle for elimination. The sooner we clear the useless hateful thinkers of his ilk out the more room we will have for infants.

Wow, there is having a skewed moral compass and then there is this guy who has none at all.

I wonder if these clowns understand that when it comes apart, there will be a list?

Professor, a little delayed infanticide upon your worthless carcass would be appropriate.

From Zephaniah...it’s only 3 chapters and very well worth the time to read (again and again)

chap 3

19 “Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your oppressors,
I will save the lame
And gather the outcast,
And I will turn their shame into praise and renown
In all the earth.”
*******

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. So Be It.
