Infanticide of one’s own children should be legal (if done for some reason other than sadism) for up to ten months after birth. Reason: extremely young babies aren’t yet people.
You’re not the first one to argue this on LW. I’ll find you the link in a second. Why can’t sadists kill their babies? Why ten months, precisely? More importantly, why can’t we kill babies?
Why do you particularly bring up the “discrimination against youth” thing?

But yeah, welcome to LW and all that.
If anything it would seem more appropriate to prevent sadists from torturing their babies (including before and during the murder).
