If abortion is fine, why not infanticide? Whats a few more months?

Because an infant clearly has a working, albiet not fully developed, brain. In other words, all the difference in the world.

 

 

So? 

Is the reason for not keeping the fetus any different then not wanting a baby? I doubt it.

People have abortions because they can't handle having a kid. Why not infanticide for the same reason?

...?

You just entirely ignored my point and restated yours. The reason why infanticide is wrong is because it is murdering a human child, a person. The reason a undeveloped fetus can be aborted is because it is (in my view and that of most of the pro-choice movement) not a person just a collection of cells with no ability for indepedent thought.

Its nothing whatsoever to do with the reasons for the abortion or the infanticide.

@Onyx. I'm not too concerned about the fact that it relies on the mother, as I stated earlier I only consider someone a person if they have the ability of thought, that also applies to braindead people. I consider a fetus prior to having the ability to think indepently to have the same sort of life as one of your organs, it is part of the mothers bodily system.
