     PROLICIDE […] Admits of two divisions, fœticide or criminal abortion and infanticide or the destruction of the new born infant.

   • 1836, Michael Ryan, A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence and State Medicine, page 283:

     Perhaps they had accommodated the foregoing statement to the casuistical axiom, non homo est, qui non futurus est, which is a very agreeable one to prolicides.
