February 22, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - There was a time, not so long
ago, when pro-lifers, in an effort to galvanize the apathetic, would
recount to them the disturbing opinions of a certain Princeton
professor, Peter Singer, who, amongst other things, has long held that
it is ethical to kill disabled newborn children.

For instance, in a 2006 interview Singer was asked point-blank: "Would
you kill a disabled baby?" His response? "Yes, if that was in the best
interests of the baby and of the family as a whole."

"Many people find this shocking," he continued, "yet they support a
woman's right to have an abortion. One point on which I agree with
opponents of abortion is that, from the point of view of ethics rather
than the law, there is no sharp distinction between the foetus and the
newborn baby."
