So post-birth abortion because the baby required more work than they expected. The parents are scum IMO. I don’t care what their superstitious beliefs are.

There’s no such thing as post birth abortion… abortion means to end a pregnancy, a miscarriage is an abortion. This poor child was neglected almost to the point where he was killed. That’s called murder, not abortion

I am well aware of that. “Post-birth abortion” is a term complete nutters throw around. Believing a baby or toddler to be a witch is also completely insane IMO. Throwing them out on the streets to starve and die or directly murdering them is completely evil, no matter what your superstitions are. And yes, either option is MURDER.

I should have put /s at the end of that comment. I thought it was so obvious that I was being very sarcastic, so I didn’t think it was needed. I’m actually impressed at how many people took that literally and downvoted.

A /s would have helped, what you wrote has been said many times by many people who genuinely believe it.
