The Infanticide Act is the name of two Acts introduced into English Law that started treating killing of an infant child by its mother during the early months of life as a lesser crime than murder. The Infanticide Act Northern Ireland 1939 makes similar arrangements for Northern Ireland. England and Wales The Infanticide Act 1922 effectively abolished the death penalty for a woman who deliberately killed her new born child while the balance of her mind was disturbed as a result of giving birth, by providing a partial defence to murder in English law murder . The sentence that applies as in other partial defences to murder is the same as that for manslaughter in English law manslaughter . This Act was repealed by section 2 3 of the Infanticide Act 1938. The Infanticide Act 1938 extended this defence to cases where at the time of the act or omission the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not having fully recovered from the effect of giving birth to the child or by reason of the effect of lactation consequent upon the birth of the child. ref http hansard.millbanksystems.com lords 1938 mar 22 infanticide bill hl Infanticide Act, 1938, Second Reading , House of Lords Hansard. 22 March 1938 ref Before the partial murder defence of diminished responsibility in English law diminished responsibility was introduced to English law in the Homicide Act 1957 , this provided an important means of selecting a more lenient sentence for a mother found guilty of killing her infant than the Life sentence Interpretation in Europe mandatory life sentence or Capital punishment in the United Kingdom death sentence applying to murder at the time.

Charlotte Denman Lozier 1844 1870 was an American physician. She was a feminist and in her short life campaigned for women s rights and for the right to live of the unborn. She lost her mother aged 12 and then become charged with the care of her younger offspring. Graduated from high school at 15 years old, she studied medicine at the New York Medical College for Women. She graduated with distinction and become a teacher there Lozier campaigned for equality between men and women, in her profession and in all fields. She also, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony , supported Hester Vaughan, a woman wrongly accused of infanticide. She also served as vice president of the National Women s Working Association. Charlotte Denman Lozier also campaigned for the prison of a man who tried a young girl to commit an abortion. She firmly opposed abortion as against the female nature and a sort of infanticide. According to the New York World , Dr. Lozier insists that as the commission of crime is not one of the functions of the medical profession, a person who asks a physician to commit the crime of ante natal infanticide can no more be considered his patient than one who asks him to poison his wife. Lozier died soon after, following the premature birth of her third daughter, Jessica.

The modified title became A Treatise Concerning the Use and Abuse of the Marriage Bed . The essay dealt primarily with contraception , comparing it directly with infanticide . Defoe accomplished this through anecdotes, such as a conversation between two women in which the right minded chides the other for asking for recipes that might prevent pregnancy. In the essay, he further referred to contraception as the diabolical practice of attempting to prevent childbearing by physical preparations.
