If common, many of the societies would have dies out, if it was a common practice.

You are (deliberately, I think) evading the point. You claimed earlier that morality does not change, I have shown that it does. The societies mentioned above practiced infanticide and held it up in the case of deformed, sickly or ‘wrong’ sex newborns as a moral good. Those societies no longer do so. Therefore, this is evidence of moral change.
And it doesn’t matter if it was most societies or only a handful. It doesn’t alter the fact that the morality of killing newborns has changed.
I think you’re wrong when you say it was ‘generally’ done for economic reasons, but let’s say you’re right. It STILL wouldn’t alter the changed morality regarding infanticide, since a parent killing a child today because of scarce resources would be condemned morally as well as legally.

You have not shown morality changing. You have shown changes that would effect the decision to use child sacrifice or not.
Today, we have ton's of social safety nets so to compare times is ridiculous.
If anyone is ignoring points, it is not me.

No to your first.
To your second, the OP is about loyalty to the American oath that many seem to break when preaching against it's moral equality statements.
Where do I show something amiss with nature, other than referring to the religious that preach against both natural law and our secular law.
