Abortion Moral Logic and Infanticide Moral Logic

January 22 is when we pray for protection of unborn children, in response to Roe v. Wade anniversary day.

Unfortunately, some people do not recognize these growing most vulnerable human lives as real human children.  These folks call them “tissues”. 

They justify killing these lives, because these are just “tissues”. Thus, taking them out of their mothers’ wombs is like taking tissues samples for biopsy or removing tumors surgically.

This is not right. 

But, the proponents for abortion argue that removing these “tissues” in women’s wombs is for the benefits of women, especially when their pregnancy can be detrimental to these women’s health. 

It seems to make sense – only if you subscribe to dualism and embrace only “either-or” mentality. 

Say, if you happened to argue affirmatively for abortion on your moral ground, which is to justify abortion for the sake of women’s health and saving women’s lives, when pregnancy poses a threat. 

Then, what about a situation, where a mother suffer from postpartum depression, and raising a baby is deemed as stressful and aggravate this pregnancy-induced terrible psychological condition. Would you justify infanticide for the sake of this mother’s mental health?  Let’s say, for the sake of this argument that giving away the baby for an adoption is not an option in this case. 

Do you see a logic of justifying infanticide the same as a logic of justifying abortion?
