In their controversial paper 'After-birth abortion', Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva argue that there is no rational basis for allowing abortion but prohibiting infanticide ('after-birth abortion'). We ought in all consistency either to allow both or prohibit both. This paper rejects their claim, arguing that much-neglected considerations in philosophical discussions of this issue are capable of explaining why we currently permit abortion in some circumstances, while prohibiting infanticide.
在他们颇具争议的论文《死后堕胎》中，阿尔贝托·吉比里尼和弗朗西斯卡·明瓦拉认为，没有合理的理由允许堕胎而禁止杀婴（“死后堕胎”）。我们应该一致地要么允许两者，要么禁止两者。本文驳斥了他们的观点，认为在这一问题的哲学讨论中被忽视的许多因素能够解释为什么我们目前在某些情况下允许堕胎，而禁止杀婴。
