I consider that just as much an excuse, [@Penny]. I do not make a distinction between that early period or the period the article was talking about with post birth. I hold that it is a position for which there are few reasonable defenses for, if any. One might argue in the case of rape, incest, or [i]extreme[/i] life and death circumstances, those I might hear to, but anything else I view in general as a blatant statement of "I made a mistake, which someone else should pay for." when the cost is life. The mindset of "Because I didn't want to." equally merits a response from me of, "Then that is your own fault. No sympathy here."

This evolves to the place where we see it that the article is saying they are not too different; which is true, you are knowingly and willfully engaging in the butchery of children in either case. My concern, as with many others, is that this idea that a "post birth abortion" can even be fathomed as a hypothetical possibility only guides us further down that slope.
