This is basically the story of my whole disability and infanticide argument. Indeed, with most ancient disability scholarship I've read. I've had to provide PROOF and ARGUMENTATION that disabled people even EXISTED in the ancient world. Like, what??https://twitter.com/isaacsoon2/status/1330934289509220355 …
...wait, really? Just off of the top of my head it sure feels like there are an awful lot of disabled people around to be faith-healed in first century Judaea?

Yep! Many people assume (uncritically) that life was "too harsh" in the ancient period for people with disabilities to survive, and that their families wouldn't have chosen to support them or care for them, because they were too poor and busy with other things.

"Economically burdensome and unprofitable in the extreme" is my favorite* quote about disabled infants. *Least favorite
