That’s not so much old fashioned as willfully ignorant of how humans have been comporting themselves for all of recorded history. It isn’t really an opinion as much as a moral and intellectual dodge, sort of like prohibitionists preaching abstinence. I’ve also noticed that so many people lose interest in the life of child the instant it leaves the birth canal. People who thinks it’s a moral imperative to protect s fetus, don’t see, to take similar hard lines on protecting the welfare of children in general. The position seems to hold only so long as someone else is bearing the consequences.

These same people are often against paying a cent in taxes for healthcare, education, food, housing. Those same people don’t even seem to bemoan genocides in places like Rwanda or Sudan, or the Congo until long after they end. To me, it reeks of screwy priorities, and control.
