“The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual….

Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva “After Birth Abortion: Why Should the Baby Live?” Journal of Medical Ethics (2011).
