In the wake of the Obama administration dictate that private insurance companies cover contraceptives and abortifacients, supporters have defined anyone who would oppose this mandate as waging a "war against women." Obviously, no opponent of this policy is actually bombing, shooting or stabbing women to death.
The same cannot be said for what the cultural left favors — a war against babies. The latest front of "advanced" leftist medical ethics has emerged from the experts at Oxford University. They don't just favor abortion, even partial-birth abortion. They favor "after-birth abortion."
It is stomach-turning stuff. Killing babies is no different than abortion, these academics argued in the Journal of Medical Ethics. Ironically, pro-lifers would agree and have long pointed to this logical progression in the face of laughter. The "ethicists" now explain it somewhat differently. Parents should be allowed to kill their newborn babies because they're still "morally irrelevant."
The article carries the chilling title "After-Birth abortion: Why should the baby live?" Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva argue newborn babies aren't "actual persons" but "potential persons."

Life used to be a precious thing and now the left & 'extreme left' seem to think nothing of 'getting rid' of a precious bundle, possibly the next Einstein, Dwight Moody, Billy Sunday, the next decent & upstanding President.
What is Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi's mother aborted them? & trust me they are definitely not my favorites by any stretch of the imagination. They were still given the privilege of living.
agreed except living should not be a 'privilege'.

Abortion has been legal since 1973, and was legal before that depending on the state.
Im sorry, but you should have no say in what anyone does with their body. A fetus or embryo is NOT a "baby" or "child."
Until that fetus or embryo can sustain life on its own, it is not a living being.
Abortion should stay a federal/personal matter. Nobody should have the say over what a woman should choose to do with their body.
Also, if a woman is raped, they should have the option of aborting the child. Complications from birth can cause the mother to die. Are you saying that its OK to kill someone with an established life and family in order to save the life of a newborn baby that may turn into bill gates or einstein but could also turn into charles manson or adolf hitler?
It is not your say, it should never be your say and you should leave it at that.
Your own personal beliefs are just that, it is your business. Keep them to yourself and out of the law.

Back at ya.
I think woman should be responsible for their body. Take the necessary step to avoid getting pregnant. From what 5:31 is saying if you can't sustain life on your own you should be killed. How many people are out there that can't sustain life on their own. They have to have a hand out so they can sustain life. Should we also murder them?
I just don't get it. The same people that want to murder a baby also want to save a criminal from harsh punishment.

So, punish the baby for the sins of the parents?
It's a life. Killing a life is called what?
If anyone doesn't want children...? A couple of options would be to not have sex of course and another would be to have your tubes tied.
why don't we just give all these people what they want? they believe abortion is worthwile so if it's such a great thing why don't we just murder them?
I'm always amazed how those who have life are so willing to deny it to others. Wonder what the babies would choose?
Sorry but to kill a new born baby is just MURDER plain and simple. Who in their right mind could kill a living breathing baby and not think anything else about it. These liberal left prople are really crazy but if you keep voting for them this is what you get.
