Is it any wonder when we read articles below given that a vast proportion of people support Choice over Right to Life? The argument by the philosophers in the article below is just a natural extension of what is accepted already by a large majority in so called modernized western cultures. It is very simple logic to extend the argument below even further and who is to say where the line is.

"It is so beyond our social mores and values that it is beyond the pale and I wouldn't want to dignify it with any further comment.'' ... chief executive of Down Syndrome NSW, Steve Clarke.
KILLING newborns is morally the same as abortion and should be permissible if the mother wishes it, Australian philosophers have argued in an article that has unleashed a firestorm of criticism and forced the British Medical Journal to defend its publication.
Alberto Giubilini, from Monash University, and Francesca Minerva, from the University of Melbourne, say a foetus and a newborn are equivalent in their lack of a sense of their own life and aspiration. They contend this justifies what they call ''after-birth abortion'' as long as it is painless, because the baby is not harmed by missing out on a life it cannot conceptualise.

from God's Words:
Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV)
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Psalm 139:13 (NKJV)
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
