if women have a right to 'kill' their babies, men can 'abandon 'em'

Using the modern lefties' logic, this makes perfect sense.

It is a move back toward Roman Pagan law.

Under Roman law, husbands decided if a baby was to be kept or abandoned (most likely exposed to die).

The law was gradually changed as Rome became Christian.

Rome became Christian, in large part, because Christians did not kill their babies. Neither did Jews.

Rome could not maintain its populatin because of promiscuous sex of all kinds, abortion, and infanticide.

This theory is fleshed out in good detail by sociologist Rodney Stark in:

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries

I found it persuasive.

1. Baby born alive during a botched abortion I should think would be considered as an American, thus entitled to citizenship as a real American and ALL the related protections.

2. Baby born alive to an illegal alien somehow is considered as an American, and thus entitled to the the anchor baby for its mother.

They’re both born alive, but baby #1, a true American, can be murdered that same day, while baby #2, an anchorbaby, is somehow considered to be entitled to citizenship for its mommy’s illegal entry in the US.

Outrageous, and we Americans should be ashamed!

That's where the Italian surname "Esposito" came from. It was frequently given to children abandoned and then taken to a church or nunnery to be rescued. It is literally the past participle of the Italian verb "to expose."
