I Really Don't Get People Sometimes

Okay, so, apparently there's this ideology that's been going around which involves the belief that it should be okay for a woman to have an after-birth abortion. With the cut-off age being at five years old. The belief being that since children within this age-range can't take care of themselves, then they aren't really human.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o.O

How the crap do people who think this way even exist? I mean, I'd like to think society as a whole smart enough not to let this be anything more than a bunch idiots being a bunch of idiots. But, still, that people even think this way... that they try to justify it...

I normally try my best not to be judgemental of people, but the people who think a child isn't a human being and therefore it's okay to "abort" them is a disgusting monster.

(ETA: To clarify, this isn't an actual thing that people or the governement  are trying to push. It came about during a discussion on abortion on college campuses, in which some students and professors expressed that they didn't see anything wrong with aborting a child after it was born.)

I don't understand what that means, so I googled it and this is what I found.

Actually, my rant's based more on a discussion that was had with some college students and professors concerning abortion, in which some of them professed that after birth abortion for kids up to the age of five (even six) was okay. It's not an actual agenda anyone is trying to push, more just a mindset some people have.

(I also read the journal article that the article you linked to was talking about. While, yes, it does seem to be talking more in a philosophical sense and isn't actually pushing any kind of agenda, what it has to say is still pretty skeevy).
