Well, your source was worth the critique, no? You framed both sources, particularly the first one, as though infanticide was permissible among Christians during the Middle Ages. Your source had nothing to do with the Middle Ages. It had to do with ancient Pagan Rome.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. When did I question Fact Check? Pretty sure you're mistaking me for someone else.
So...you're just going to source authorless papers that you come across in a quick google search now? Tassman, this is shoddy work even by your standards. Here's the full quote, and I even found the sources author for you.
But see, no one denies that someone somewhere within the Christian West abandoned their children. We're all familiar with that image of the baby in the basket sitting on the steps of a church, or in front of an orphanage. It certainly wasn't approved of by the church or society, as you attempted to frame it earlier as happening within the Christian West on a grand scale, with absolute impunity, and with the most frigid indifference.
Nah, Starlight has expressed a bit more than that. He has expressed that infanticide is essentially the same as abortion. That like fetuses, infants lack personhood. Go ahead, ask him. As his hero Peter Singer states, "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living" So it isn't only those with severe disabilities on the chopping block, but, as in abortion, those who's birth mother lacks the time and finances to a raise child that are also on the chopping block.
