IMHO all that means is we call these people "The Rotten Kiwis". I'm not qualified to pontificate about the abortion laws as they currently exist. They only effect the fairer sex right now. But there are supposed to be standards - universal moral standards mories i think the academics call them. That are hard to get around No Murder being the big one. An article like this is the first step in training people to suspend these.

The concept of an after-birth abortion probably sounds less wacky to a New Zealanders ear than it does to us, because abortions are, frankly, hard to get (it requires two doctors to sign off on, etc.)<br /><br />They might have better traction with an American audience by talking about it terms of Schiavo-like "mercy killings", rather than the term "after-birth abortions".Ken Ashfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288895770874372009noreply@blogger.com
