Now I have no issue with abortion, coat hanger or wet vac it's all good, and the article goes out of it's way to insist that infanticide is just a "thought experiment", but I really read this as saying the basic justification is that a baby is still an inconvenience to the mother even after it's born. I mean really, if they're "extending" the logic of abortion, then might as well extend it to say that anyone who requires support from others can be terminated. Like say gassing welfare recipients. I guess if you go far enough to the left you end up at the deep end on the right.
Sane liberals are the ones who should be pissed, this is just ammo for the religious right.
