When circ*mstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible. We propose to call this practice after-birth abortion, rather than infanticide, to emphasize that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus rather than to that of a child. Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circ*mstances where abortion would be. * +

Such circ*mstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk. * +

But it isnt pro-lifers who should worry about the Giubilini-Minerva proposal. Its pro- choicers. The case for after-birth abortion draws a logical path from common pro-choice assumptions to infanticide. It challenges us, implicitly and explicitly, to explain why, if abortion is permissible, infanticide isnt. * +
