I’ll be coming back to this. In the meanwhile, to make my post less bad-useless-kind-of-meta, here’s a comment by drethelin that offers a better arguments for and summary of my position than any of mine:
Ok. I fail to see your predicament.
While drethelin’s comments aren’t mainstream (the mainstream would be that killing infants is “just wrong”, or “God says so”, or some such), they seem mainstream and reasonable enough for this list.
Are you worried that it makes you a “bad person” to even entertain the idea that you might go along with the killing of infants?
What about holding this position makes you uncomfortable? Where’s the rub?
