Defending after-birth abortion

March 4, 2012 by Natalie Sonnen 2 Comments

On the subject of after-birth abortion, the editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics not only makes a defense for publishing it, but whines about the nasty responses it received.

As Editor of the Journal, I would like to defend its publication. The arguments presented, are [from] the most eminent philosophers and bioethicists in the world, including Peter Singer, Michael Tooley and John Harris in defense of infanticide, which the authors call after-birth abortion.”

Is that so! “In defense of infanticide…” If this is not a fine example of how post-modern, liberal academics lose their grip on reality, I don’t know what is.

The “most popular” comment by one Eric_Dunham in the blog comment section is not to be missed:

…You attacked the deepest held beliefs of the majority of humanity. You allowed an article to be published that advocates dispassionate violence against the most helpless of all human beings.
Yet, somehow, all you’re worried about is the “deep opposition” … “to liberal values and fanatical opposition to” … “reasoned engagement.”

I do like it when “liberal values” get exposed, and real reasoning gets a chance to stand up.

    Prayer After Birth (Acknowledgements and Apologies to Louis MacNeice).

    I am now born: please hear me,
    Let not the debt collectors,
    Or the rights protectors,
    Or the seditious insurrectors come near me.

    I am now born, comfort me,
    Else I fear that the human-folk may:
    With clever lies debase me,
    With bad science un-race me,
    And with strong drugs erase me.

    I am now born: please bestow me,
    Among the dancing grass, babbling brooks,
    Swaying trees and singing rooks,
    Undiminished bright light of grace and truth,
    To restore me.

    I am now born, with lullabies lull me,
    With warm cuddles mull me,
    With deep love sustain me, and,
    With silence, not gainsay me.
