Princeton Professor’s Remarks on Killing Disabled Newborns leads to Protests, Calls for Resignation

Share this article

As Campus Reform reported:

“Scores of disability activists descended upon Princeton University last week to demand the resignation of Professor Peter Singer.”

“The activists took issue with Singer declaring in April that healthcare policy under Obamacare has already led doctors to kill disabled babies, an action he deemed “reasonable.””

“The activists, many of whom were in wheelchairs, blocked traffic and chanted “Hey hey! Ho ho! Singer’s got to go!” The protests were organized by Not Dead Yet, a “national, grassroots disability rights group that opposes legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia as deadly forms of discrimination against old, ill and disabled people,” according to the organization’s website.””
