You’re going to all this trouble to explain how we can deal with killing a baby, without realizing the better option is to just not kill it in the first place.

That's the strawman of strawmen. You're the one who inserted this hypothetical "What if there's a baby in the car" scenario. What I said was simply "that's the parent's responsibility for not only leaving the baby unattended in a vehicle, but also parking that vehicle on the tracks."

You've been trying this entire conversation to twist that into me being a baby-killer, when it was your own red herring from the start. All I said originally was that if someone parks their vehicle on the tracks, it should get run over.

I don’t think there’s any point continuing this discussion.

That's the one thing we agree on.
