I think a mother has the right to not be forced to care for a child not the right to agress against the child. In other words, I think a mother has the right to walk away from a child after birth, but not step on its head.

So a mother can leave her kid in a dumpster to freeze to death? What's the difference?

All the difference in the world?

Specifically the difference between killing someone and denying them the things they need to live.

EDIT: Not actually denying, simply failing to provide.

But isn't it more humane just to end the baby's life rather than let it die cold and hungry and alone? You have to let him slowly starve to death for morality's sake? Some morals.

Sure. Just like it is more humane to pull the plug whenever anyone is suffering or its more humane to put a bullet in a soldiers head when he is laying on the battlefield dying.

I don't really get your point.
