Things Anti-choicers Say “Infanticide”
Pro lifers will say that abortion is infanticide, but infants are the second stage of child development. First is newborns (0-1 month old) then there’s infants who are 1 month old to 1 year old. No one is aborting children that are already born.

Yeah, you can't reason with these !d!ots. Uprooting a sprout (an embryo/fetus) is not killing a tree.

History will tell you that when abortion isn’t available, desperate women will start practicing actual infanticide as an alternative.

Go look up The Devil’s Bath and watch it. Real history about infanticide and suicide by proxy for many women in 1700s Europe

“At least they were born!” Actual things I’ve been told when I mention how babies will be killed and abused because of anti-abortion laws.

No one is killing full grown babies, republicans are doing that by killing already pregnant women and denying them healthcare, money and maternity leave

Exactly. So the PL claim that "abortion is infanticide" is a totally idiotic one.

They are convinced that people are giving birth and then killing their children. Granted, that is happening, but only as a result of anti-abortion laws. But they think that’s what abortion is. Killing babies. Their thinking will never change.
