re: #130 jvic

My good-faith effort to find an argument as repellant (to me) as Akin’s, from the “other side”: There were some medical ethicists in the UK who, this year, proclaimed that parents are morally justified in killing unwanted children. they called it “after-birth abortion”. telegraph.co.uk

Now, this position likely has a LOT fewer people who agree with it than Akin’s, so it’s not something one should use to draw equivalency between groups…but as an example of an equally horrific position, I’d go with that.
