Wow. I am sickened & disgusted by this article that appeared in a current issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics: After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?
The gist of the piece is that newborn babies have no more right to life than fetuses. The position of the piece is that fetuses & newborn babies are "potential humans". Since they (fetuses & newborns) don't realize that they have life, if the parents determine that raising the child would be burdensome, they should have the right to terminate, even post-birth.
I obviously find this to be gruesome & horrifying, so I won't belabor the point with a lengthy piece on it. I'll just leave room for others to comment.
This blog began as a place to share Shaling's journey from rice in China to popcorn in Illinois. However, it has evolved to include all sorts of happenings in the Reynolds family.
Amy, We just prayed about this article in my ladies prayer group. Absolutely speechless.
