It’s a buzz word scare tactic, nothing more.

Buzz word scare tactics by the authors perhaps. Im just presenting the options to the question
Like u said, there is an argument for after birth abortion therefore i made it an option on the poll
After birth abortion is being performed in some states under the "Born alive" abortion bill
Anyway it's just a poll. Im not changing anyones mind. Their the options
It was an argument made years ago and has been pretty roundly refuted on both philosophical and medical grounds.
If you have information that this sort of infanticide is being performed in the US, I’d be happy to look at it. It’s my understanding that the ‘born alive’ laws protect newborns after a failed abortion.
