What ghastly sophistry, and how grisly the evil in whose service it was penned.

” Birthmothers are often reported to experience serious psychological problems due to the inability to elaborate their loss and to cope with their grief.” But murdering your own child is so easy to get over... Monsters, plain and simple.

Is it weird that I would have no problem killing the authors in cold blood if they were to ever cross my path?

Everyone has known for a long time that this was infanticide. Now they are just bold enough to cut the crap and admit what they have been doing.

Being bold enough, is the scary thing about this. It shows that they feel they no longer have to pussy foot around the horrible murder/butchery that abortion has been and will always be.

The fact that our society is even having this conversation shows the drain-circling decline we’ve entered. Josef Mengele would be proud.

The power of language. “Abortion” is an acceptable procedure to the left. “Infanticide” is abhorrent to western civilizations. So simply change the term “Infanticide” to “After-Birth Abortion”. Problem solved.

37 years ago the concept of "post-birth abortion" was a silly joke even to the Hollywood left, as this scene from the 1977 skit comedy movie "American Raspberry" (later released as "Prime Time") shows:

American Raspberry - Abortion

Today, it is considered nuanced thought worthy of serious consideration by medical ethicists.

While some of the comments at William Saletan's article criticize Saletan for digging up a two-year old article from a British academic journal written by Australian academics, the fact is Peter Singer has been arguing this very point for at least a decade from our side of the oceans.

“Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the BABY’s health. “.

There I have corrected it, everywhere you read “fetus” insert the word “baby”

[stockpirate]

They already allow babies who are still alive after an abortion to be ignored and thereby die.

If you didn’t see this coming, you were not paying attention.
