Pay close attention. He didn't change his mind.

All he's done here is changed his wording to be more careful; from "it's ok to abort all babies up to 28 days old" to "it's ok to abort some babies up to 28 days old".

I may just keep this tagline until the killing is stopped and America's most important founding principles are once again respected and adhered to.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

Who is Peter Singer? A czar?

Back in ‘87 they claimed that babies’ brain waves started at about 32 weeks. My boy was born at 25.5 weeks and by 28 weeks, his little eyebrows would lift as he tried to open his eyes, whenever I came in and spoke to him (the NICU lights were very bright)

Peter Singer claims that he’s “used” to being compared to Nazis but the fact is, he would have fit right in with the euthanistic philosophy that permeated Nazi Germany.

Hell, he would probably have been a very effective administrator for der Fuehrer.

Now I believe you should look at every individual case.

Then he still believes it's OK.

So, like, if I look at the individual case named Peter Singer, and I decide he doesn’t have a sufficient degree of self-awareness (in my subjective judgment), then I have the right to kill him, right?

I've got to agree with Peter Singer (conditionally). If it's okay to abort a baby just before birth, it's also okay to abort one just after birth. A human organism shortly before birth is identical to one shortly after birth in nearly all respects. There's no magical soul-implantation that occurs at parturition.

The left is terrified of this idea. They cannot admit there's no magical soul-implantation at birth, because it will force people to consider when personhood really does begin. A few, like Singer, will decide it comes after birth. The vast majority will decide it occurs before birth.

Any baby that signs a notarized and witnessed statement saying he/she does not want to be aborted should have his/her wishes respected. Any baby that does not bother with the paperwork probably wants to die anyway.

Sick (pick the word you think fits best here).
