PS - what is this about infanticide being practiced in the Netherlands???

[Zymologist]

Pro-choicers seem to be more and more willing to bite the bullet and accept infanticide as a logical conclusion to at least some of their arguments.

[Sparko]

"Monash and Melbourne University academics argue that a foetus and a newborn both lack a sense of life and aspiration.They argue this justifies "after-birth abortion" on the proviso it is painless as the baby is not missing out on a life it cannot contemplate."

So now they don't care if it is a human being or not, just that it can't 'contemplate life'

That sounds a lot like the Nazi arguments for killing the mentally disabled.

I think these evil people are the ones who fail to contemplate what life means. To destroy a life before it can even get started. Maybe they are the ones who should be put down.

My sociology professor from college (many years ago) told me on his deathbed (about 10 years ago) that the whole "overpopulation" lie was an attempt to make it easier to justify both infanticide and euthanasia - he was a lifelong liberal who became a conservative late in life.

Absolutely pathetic.

abortion has nothing to do with overpopulation, just convenience.

Sickening.

[Christianbookworm]

If I can't have them, no one can? Because that sounds like what a sick villain would say! Do those people think the ancient Greeks and Romans were right to abandon infants? They think adoption is not an option?

The modern rise of abortion had a lot to do with eugenics, which is the overpopulation of undesirables.

I wouldn't even want to do that to a baby nonhuman mammal, so why do it to a human baby? I don't even like euthanizing a pet, so how could infanticide even be reasonable?

PETA thinks it's better for kittens and puppies to be euthanized than raised as pets.

What? If a kttten or puppy goes to a good home, it essentially thinks it has new parents for the rest of its life! Food, pets/cuddles, protection from the elements and predators(most of the time, sometimes pets sadly do get preyed on...)... now I'm almost jealous. Except I actually do have an Owner/Patron/Father! Yippee!

It's still being exploited (allegedly) by its owners.

Eh. Looks like a typical mutualistic relationship to me.
