Late abortion

[fpb]

In Brieskow-Finkenheerd, Land Brandenburg, Germany, a woman of 39 had nine undesired pregnancies in her life. She let them go to term and then murdered the new-born babies. If she had murdered them before birth, she would be patted on the back and assured that she had exercised her sacrosanct rights. Because she did so a few hours or days after birth, she is treated as an object of horror. So much for rationality.

Wow. An anonymous who takes my side - I mean, the side I'm on. (I would never be arrogant enough to call the great and brave pro-life cause "my" side.) Wonders will never cease. I realize that the argument made by Ms. (Mr.?) anonymous only holds for late abortions, and that s/he might agree with early or special-circumstances ones, but at any rate we agree on this matter. I might add that a child is not wholly an individual until at least his first year has passed, and that except for the breathing and feeding very little has changed; so, if anything, Anonymous One's argument would tell in favour of infanticide.
