If we discovered a previously unknown civilization where 1 baby per month was sacrificed as an integral part of their religion & culture, and they were all for this, would we have the right to stop them, even if it meant the destruction of their culture?

But wouldn't the sanctity of innocent (baby!) human life override the importance of respecting their religious beliefs?

Some cultures feel it's wrong to kill cows too. I agree tho that baby killing would be difficult to tolerate.

Of course. Do you know of some other legal form of infanticide that consumes 1.29 million innocent humans each year in the U.S. alone ???

No, I just wanted to make sure you didn't subscribe to some moonbat theory of US genocide of Iraqis & Palestinians or somesuch.

Will you take care of all the unwanted babies? All 107,500 of them?

I personally can't. But you actually seem to be saying that since it would be costly to take care of unwanted children, that it's preferable to kill them before they're born.

That's funny in a theoretical sort of way. I dunno, let's say they throw the hearts through a carved god head down into a pit in the pyramid like the Aztecs did for their sacrificees, and just dump the rest.

Well then in all good conscience we can't let these heathens continue!

But if they were, let's say, putting the corpse on a raft covered in roses and sending it downstream well, we could make a postcard out of that.

Laws differ from country to country though. Who are we to impose our laws and values on them?
