This is something I did not know about Trump. He refuses to be clear in this interview with Chris Matthews. So who knows what he really thinks. But it is funny when Matthews feigns moral outrage at Trump's position, only to have Trump turn the tables...

Medical Ethicists From Oxford University: Newborn Babies Not “Actual Persons", Do Not Have a “Moral Right to Life”
"'After-Birth Abortion’ (Killing a Newborn) Should Be Permissible In All The Cases where Abortion Is"
From The Telegraph:
“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.”
Rather than being “actual persons”, newborns were “potential persons”.
They explained: “Both a fetus and a newborn certainly are human beings and potential persons, but neither is a ‘person’ in the sense of ‘subject of a moral right to life’.
“We take ‘person’ to mean an individual who is capable of attributing to her own existence some (at least) basic value such that being deprived of this existence represents a loss to her.”
As such they argued it was “not possible to damage a newborn by preventing her from developing the potentiality to become a person in the morally relevant sense”.
The authors therefore concluded that “what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled”.
They preferred to use the phrase “after-birth abortion” rather than “infanticide” to “emphasise that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus”.
