Those who believe it is okay to kill a child are repugnant. On the other hand, I’m in favor of retroactive abortion, and the persons responsible for writing the article on killing newborns should be first in line.

This is why Orwell wrote so well: http://orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_polit (see meaningless words)

“The moral status of an infant [human baby] is equivalent to that of a fetus [baby human] in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.”

Here we see “right to life” redefined in a nonsensical way. What is an individual? Here it gets even stupider.

“We take ‘person’ to mean an individual who is capable of attributing to her own existence some (at least) basic value such that being deprived of this existence represents a loss to her.”

Thus it would be reasonable to kill the authors/philosophers of this paper in their sleep. Being unconscious they’d have no idea that they were being “deprived of this existence” and therefore suffer no loss.

Dealing with liberals is like watching a Niagara Falls of horrible ideas pouring forth. We need more than a TEA cup to end their madness.
