To be clear, I am for keeping all abortions legal, on the assumption that pregnancy is such a burden that a woman should be able to opt out of it at any time. I just want to make sure we stop at that point and don't start allowing any "post-birth abortions", which at least a few people think would be a good idea:

Yes, babies who are just born probably aren't self-aware, but I worry that once everybody gets used to killing babies that are, say, up to a week old, people will start to think that babies slightly older can't be that much more self-aware, so why not kill them too, and so on.
