Any thing that brings any person to say, "If you love a member of your family, you should kill him/her" is INSANE. Period.

[jonathankorman.livejournal.com]

That is crazy. It's not what she said.

She said that large families, as institutions, are so ill-equipped to support their children that many of those children die, and we can infer from that death rate that those children who do survive suffer poor health and live lives in poverty so severe that we might suggest that it's a mercy that those who die do not experience those misfortunes.

You may well disagree with that sentiment, but it is nowhere near a suggestion that parents should murder their children.

She had reasons which brought her to say it, but yes. She said it. It's right there in your own quote.

I think that's a clear misreading of the quote. I'm confident that other liberals will agree with me. The statement you attribute to her—advocacy for parents killing their children—would be reprehensible in my eyes, and I'm confident that other liberals will agree with me on that as well.

I hope that, convinced as you are that I am wrong about her meaning, you can accept that my reading is sincere, as is my moral rejection of the murderous philosophy which you attribute to her. Our moral calculus is perhaps chillier and more pragmatic than yours, but please do not exaggerate what it includes.
