That is the premise of an article written by some experts who believe that…
“The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.”
There are more pull-quotes from this article than I know what to do with but to simplify my argument, this is exactly why abortion is wrong. It is not a right or a privilege, it is but one small step in the progressive states patient journey towards state sanctioned euthanasia–where the state would be free to define “suffering” as any burden upon the state and the taxpayers who are paying the price for that burden.
