Are we witnessing the slippery slope of Roe vs. Wade?
I really have to stop reading these kinds of stories.
"Are we witnessing the slippery slope of Roe vs. Wade?"
Not as much as you are witnessing the slippery slope of adoption mythology and Adoption Speak.
"All the advantages" ...except for mental stability.
Why wasn't this child's mother given the tough love ( ie, confrontation about personal responsibilities) and help she needed to care for her own?
Why was this defenseless three year old placed in the home of murderers ?
One word: Money.
Money.
A professor of infanticide at Princeton
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- LAST YEAR, while I was teaching at Princeton University on the politics of journalism, a lot of class time was devoted to a debate on the appointment of Princeton's very first full-time tenured professor of bioethics, Peter Singer.
An Australian, Singer was a principal founder of the animal-liberation movement and is a former president of the International Association of Bioethics. What led to our discussion in class -- and to various protests outside the university against his appointment, which starts this month -- is that he is also an advocate of infanticide. Not of any infant, but of severely disabled infants.
In class, nearly all of us agreed that in a university, a credentialed scholar should not be banned, no matter how controversial his views.
But some of us wondered why Princeton chose this renowned apostle of infanticide and certain forms of euthanasia for so influential an endowed seat at, of all places, the university's Center for Human Values.
Professor Singer often claims that his views have been misquoted, so I am quoting directly from his books.
From "Practical Ethics": "Human babies are not born self-aware, or capable of grasping that they exist over time. They are not persons." But animals are self-aware, and therefore, "the life of a newborn is of less value than the life of a pig, a dog, or a chimpanzee."
