Camosy on Infanticide
Camosy on Infanticide by MSW. MGB: The reference sonograms misses the very valid point that abortion is not undertaken for convenience but because the child proves dangerous. If a born child is still considered dangerous then there are serious holes in the social welfare system, which should either be able to step in for the parent, provide servies to the parent or be helpful when the child has no chance of survival in helping the parent cope with its loss without having to hasten death. The same points can be made when the child is merely economically dangerous prior to birth - however if the pregnancy is a danger to the mother and the child has no chance of survival - even to birth - it is not horrific at all to suggest that inducing delivery as soon as possible is the best thing for both mother and child - as the child might be baptized if pregnancy is induced before nature takes its course and kills it in the womb (not that this matters - one must truly believe that God is heartless to not trust him entirely with the fate of preborn children who are never born once - and therefore need not be born again).
