But isn't it inconsistent to have a blanket statement that abortion is
ethical while infanticide is not? A baby one day from being born can
be killed, while a baby one day after being born cannot? There is not
a clean line between these two cases. Birth is a process, not an event.
This is the tension which drives the search for a better solution.
