Atheism and Child Murder (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/DineshDSouza/2008/05/12/atheism_and_child_murder?page=full&comments=true)
By Dinesh D'Souza

Peter Singer is a calm, lucid and able debater, and our debate at Biola University in Los Angeles on April 25 was lively and hard-fought. Not for nothing is Singer considered a world-class philosopher and advocate. To watch the debate go to dineshdsouza.com and click on my AOL blog.

Here are some choice Singer quotations on the subject which I get from his books Rethinking Life and Death and Writings on an Ethical Life.

On how mothers should be permitted to kill their offspring until the age of 28 days:
"My colleague Helga Kuhse and I suggest that a period of twenty-eight days after birth might be allowed before an infant is accepted as having the same right to life as others."

On why abortion is less morally significant than killing a rat:
"Rats are indisputably more aware of their surroundings, and more able to respond in purposeful and complex ways to things they like or dislike, than a fetus at ten or even thirty-two weeks gestation."

There's more, much more, :flame: :shake:

I commend D'Souza for being able to be civil with a sicko like Peter Singer.

Please tell me this is a joke. Tell me this ignorant murder-advocating scumbag isn't walking the streets polluting what little morality still lives on in the world...

How about I kill him eh?? How would he feel if I took poison and injected it into his brain stem, or sucked him through a tube that would crush the life from him, or picked away at his arms and legs until there was nothing left but his head and then crushed that too? The nerve of some people. To sit there and say something they KNOW for a fact is wrong. Atheist or not. As far as I'm concerned he can rot and/or burn in hell with the rest of his atheist assholes. :flame:

Sick. :(
It doesn't take a genius to realize that abortion is murder.

This is the face of evil.

I Somehow this guy gets to participate in meeting concerning ethics. This one person who lectured to us about ethics in this Physician and Society course I took told us about Singer. He's absolutely insane.
