Many societies have used exposure to kill unwanted infants.

One can make a reasonable argument for infanticide. If a society wants to approve that, I am not sure I have a problem with it.

We have laws against killing to protect ourselves (really)- and so it makes sense to protect things already born. I would make the argument that an already born human is close enough to us to make it necessary to protect it, no matter what it's chronological age.

This is far from "sick"- it is actually a rational argument- which is why you don't recognize it. You are running on pure emotion. I understand your emotions. I feel your pain. But you are not very interesting, and your arguments, such as they are, are ridiculous.

ps- I think even f**in may be considered a terms of use violation now. It's hard to say, the rules keep changing. And your need to swear does not offend me. This is merely FYI.
