Infanticide Proposed In UK.

The Times Online/UK reports that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology of Britain is asking other health professionals to consider “euthanasia of seriously disabled newborn babies.” It “is a reaction to the number of such children surviving because of medical advances.”

Well, well, well… is this because it would be cruel to let the babies live lives that would cause them to suffer?  That WAS the big argument-“it would be cruel to let them live.”  BUT, that’s not necessary anymore.  Euthanasia is needed because of the “unfit,” “burdensome” child’s impact on US.

The Times says, “The college is arguing that “active euthanasia” should be considered for the overall good of families, to spare parents the emotional burden and financial hardship of bringing up the sickest babies.  Hence “A very disabled child can mean a disabled family,” it says. “If life-shortening and deliberate interventions to kill infants were available, they might have an impact on obstetric decision-making, even preventing some late abortions, as some parents would be more confident about continuing a pregnancy and taking a risk on outcome.”

Don’t’ be surprised .  It used to be that abortion advocates would say that the unborn was not human.  When they lost that argument, they’d said it wasn’t a person.  They’d also argue it was unfair to bring a child into the world under handicapped conditions-handicapped physically, economically, familial and etc… But that’s given way to the impact on the young woman.  "Women have a God given right to not have their lives messed up by anyone," even if it means killing their own offspring.  After all, their lives are much more important than some fetus.

That’s not to mock women, but a straight assessment of what abortion feminists think.  It should not surprise us that in some urban areas in the United States, after 45 million abortions and passionate advocacy for partial birth abortion, that you get more jail time for cruelty to animals than killing new born kids.  You get tears of compassion for killing your baby, but jail for killing your dog.  Go figure.

The infanticide proposal is bigoted and says only certain kinds of people are welcome.  Children are not welcome into our lives unless they meet our expectations or give us what we want.  There’s no way to contain that view to babies that require extra attention.
