The murder of children in AC land
So last week I demonstrated how AC is flawed because it leads to a society that lacks moral clarity. Some of the more stubborn ACers many still not be convinced, so let's consider a more specific topic: the murder of children.
So what does the nonagression axiom say about children? At what point do they have a right against non-agression? Conception? Viability? Birth?
And on a more practical level, at whatever point you define children to have a right against being killed, who is really going to defend against children being killed by their parents after that point? It's pretty easy to have an abortion or kill a newborn child without anyone even knowing about it. And even if someone does find a dead baby lying in a dumpster, what are the chances that they are going to investigate it? Pretty slim in my opinion.
