NOLIFE,
While english may well still be a skill you have to master it should be pointed out that the conjuction "and" clearly indicated that abortion and infanticide are different hence the need for a conjunction to join the thoughts. I think the best legal compromise is to ban infanticide, that is the killing of a baby that has actually been born. Even though a newborn is not self aware anymore than a fetus there is a time when it will become self aware. That time is not easy to discern. That is why I support a limit to the termination unwanted children at birth since birth for legal purposes is a pretty clear event and well in advance of any developing self-awareness.

TP lost my respect totally when he claimed, upstream, that a baby became so only at birth. That the instant before, even through the birth canal, it was not a "human". No mother would ever agree with him.

have been the world norm for thousands of years. It was good of you to get tigerpaw to show how to justify what is right. Well how a liberal figures out what is right. Slavery was the world norm for thousands of years. So the in Sudan I guess they are only aborting freedom and logically tigerpaw the liberal has justified this conduct.

I personally find this way of thinking uncivilized.
