What a weird essay. It's mostly a historical look at infanticide, and yea infanticide was liberating and important for childbearers in the history. It shows the importance of contraception we have today.

But somehow it really doesn't address any of the technological advancements from today. This section in particular shows it.

The reasons for this invisibility are simple: today there is a wide belief in the easy accessibility of all other options, which include everything from contraceptives to adoption. However, as so many can attest, not everyone even has access to condoms and other contraceptives, let alone abortion services.

I love how they mention adoption once and then in the counterargument ignore it. Adoption doesn't make a single other mention in this essay.

I'm sure actually putting your child up for adoption is difficult, probably similar to the access issues as abortion and contraception, maybe? But there's still abandonment. Is abandoning your child really worse than killing it? Most would say No, and the essay doesn't refute this, just quickly transitions into "So, you want to kill your child :"

Strange!
