Infanticide is a very touchy topic for most Christians, as they soley avoid reading these parts of the Bible,and those who do do not acknowledge these parts for what they are, coming back with retorts such as 'You did not understand the Bible' and such. However, it can not be avioded by those who read the Bible, and here are some examples of when Infaticide pop up within the Bible:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
