'After-birth abortion'? The case against infanticide with Dr. Kristin Collier

"After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?"
That horrifying question isn’t edgy clickbait—it’s the actual title of a peer-reviewed article published in one of the world’s leading bioethics journals. The authors argue that killing a newborn (what they call “after-birth abortion”) should be permissible in all the same cases as abortion, even when the infant is perfectly healthy.
Many people recoiled in disgust, but few engaged the actual argument. On this debut episode of Redeeming Reason, Dr. Kristin Collier says that’s a mistake.
An Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Michigan and Director of the school's Program on Health, Spirituality & Religion, Collier joins Cam English and Dr. Liza Lockwood to carefully dissect the paper and explain why Christians must confront these dangerous ideas before they shape medical practice and harm real patients.
