“Lives not worth living...”

The Germans had a name for that.

...the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

Apparently there are already women who took a "rain check" on abortion, and killed their children. Will this law legalize the killing of children a year or more after their birth?

The unintended consequences of the "culture of death" will lead to more deaths and chaos.

At least they’re consistent.

I guess nearly all conservatives know this but for some reason it does not seem to be commonly stated.

That thing is immorality. Just plain sorriness is claiming this nation. You see it every day on TV, and all other media except maybe talk radio.

Previous generations were far, far superior.

The worst thing of all is many, maybe most people think we are better than they were.

Something is going to happen, we can’t just keep sinking into the cesspool.

Euthanasia for old people is just one small step away.

And this is medical ethics? This seems like Nazi rationalizations.

In spite of the oxymoron in the expression, we propose to call this practice ‘after-birth abortion’, rather than ‘infanticide’, to emphasise that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus (on which ‘abortions’ in the traditional sense are performed) rather than to that of a child.

Do these cretins ever listen to themselves?

As long as society follows up with arrest, conviction and execution of anyone participating in such a depraved crime, I do not care whether or not the parties to it understand or not. So I would not waste my breath arguing with them, just as I wouldn’t waste my breath arguing with any homicidal maniac. Our legislators must make sure the law is in place to dispense with such people and allows no exceptions. Is it? If not, they should get on it right away.

“Therefore, we argue that, when circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible.” ( from the article)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is it possible that this is satire? Sadly, in today's moral and ethical climate it is impossible to know.

I am reminded of Jonathan Swift's, “A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick,”.

“Why stop with babies?”

I know. Whose next??

Recently, for a short time, I wondered if it would be Catholic High School students who have been judged to have committed the sin of smirking.

Mankind has done this kind of stuff before. (ask a conservative Jew.) History repeats itself.

The Nazis. My Great Uncle, Oscar Kurtz Strobel, was awarded two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and a Silver Star defeating the vermin.

Once born. the baby is an American Citizen and entitled to
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness as stated in our Declaration of Independence.
Depriving a baby of these rights is against what America was founded for.
