Lorraine, are you implying it is better to kill babies with an abortifacient than allow them to suffer from some other malady? What a pathetic view of life, and death.

Are you saying, "Let's hurry and kill all the babies in 3rd world countries before they die of malnutrition or something else?"

In your mind this could apparently be a plausible argument, but only if EVERY child born in 3rd world countries perished.

It's still a lousy rationalization, IMO.

No. I was making a different point: That contributing to the suffering of others and/or being indifferent to it are manifestations of "devalueing human life". I used that as a comparison that life is "devalued" in other cultures besides our own.

You seem to be assigning sentiments and opinions to me which I do not hold. I would rather you didn't do that.
