Here is a link to an interesting essay in the Washington Post by Charles C. Camosy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-voices/post/is-infanticide-madness/2012/06/14/gJQAnT8RcV_blog.html (Here is Wesley Smith commenting on Camosy’s essay.http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2012/06/25/treating-infanticide-respectfully-makes-it-respectable/)
Camosy begins by noting the controversy over the article on “after-birth abortion.” He mentions that the Journal of Medical Ethics, where the original article appeared, is going to publish an issue devoted to infanticide that will include diverse views.
Camosy then contends, and Smith takes issue with this approach, that pro-lifers ought to respectfully engage arguments in favor of infanticide and ought not to label pro-infanticide arguments as “madness,” which is how Robby George characterized the pro-infanticide arguments, http://mirrorofjustice.blogs.com/mirrorofjustice/2012/02/its-no-longer-just-peter-singer.html .
