This is a good thought experiment & and one I've used when debating someone who is pro-abortion.
The reaction is usually a deer in the headlight look. . But it isn’t pro-lifers who should worry about the Giubilini-Minerva proposal. It’s pro-choicers. The case for "after-birth abortion” draws a logical path from common pro-choice assumptions to infanticide. It challenges us, implicitly and explicitly, to explain why, if abortion is permissible, infanticide isn’t. View Quote |

It's actually kind of nice. They're doing exactly what I do in pro-life apologetics, but in reverse. Same point, though--passage through the birth canal doesn't change a human being's intrinsic value.
Basically, "Would you do this to a born human, like a 2-year-old girl?" |

Morally there's no difference.
Doing it before delivery simply provides a pretext for dehumanizing the victim. |

Actually this is a good thing. For too long the pro abortion people have said that what they kill is just a mass of cells. This takes it to a new level. If it's OK to kill a child in the womb, then why not outside the womb? If it's OK to kill a 2 year old because it is a burden, then why not an invalid or a elderly person? It brings the hypocrisy out in the open and makes them explain themselves.

At some point in the socialist system the restrictions go away or are changed to what the powers to be want . Hitler was a socialist . Obama is a socialist . Romney is close to socialist . The slippery slope is what we are sliding down . No one will notice until we are about to hit the rocks at the bottom .
The 2 parties are both wings of the same bird . The abuse of power should shock no one . |

Oh, it will start out as "People have a right to die with dignity" and people, including children, will do that when hit by debilitating diseases.

I, no shit, know a person who thinks an abortion would be okay while the child is in the birth canal, for any reason. So long as it hasn't actually been "delivered". Since she's not religious and thus can't believe in some miracle occuring that turns everything on once the kid pops out, I assume she just hasn't figured out how to to justify infanticide. |
