Infanticide by exposure was a common practice in times before Christianity.

It was practiced extensively by the Romans.

One of the reasons Christianity conquered Rome was because Jews and Christians valued children and cared for them. Many abandoned infants were raised to be Christians.

The Roman Cities did not produce enough live children to maintain the population.

Thanks. I have often wondered about Christianity between 0 AD and the 4th century when it became the state religion of Rome

this is sort of why liberalism will eventually fail...they don’t produce enough children. liberals abort and don’t see the value of family.
