Infanticide is the new choice

CBC News:

Katrina Effert was 19 on April 13, 2005, when she secretly gave birth in her parents’ home, strangled the baby boy with her underwear and threw the body over a fence into a neighbour’s yard.

The fact that Canada has no abortion laws reflects that “while many Canadians undoubtedly view abortion as a less than ideal solution to unprotected sex and unwanted pregnancy, they generally understand, accept and sympathize with the onerous demands pregnancy and childrbirth [sic] exact from mothers, especially mothers without support,” [Justice Joanne Veit] writes.

Apparently in Canada, if you kill your baby quickly enough after you give birth, it’s pretty much the same thing as abortion. This is disturbing on so many levels. It gives a whole new depth to the question “What’s in a choice?”

Unfortunately, this type of thinking is unsurprising when morally-vagrant individuals such as Peter Singer are given prestigious tenures at Ivy League institutions.
