A Double Standard That Kills

HOW COME AMERICA?
We brake for animals
We save the seals and
Protect the whales
We declare some birds endangered species
We even recycle to save the Earth
But we MURDER our unborn children?

*****************************
A great gap appears in the otherwise consistent opinions of the left about preserving life.
These opinions are:
Anti-nuclear war
Anti-capital punishment
Anti-environmental degradation

You can't kill murders for their crimes,
Elephants for their tusks,
Minks for their fur,
Sequoias for lumber,
Snail darters in the coures of building a dam.

The only exception to this orgy of non-killing is
Human Fetuses.

This is surely an odd departure from the evolving principle
That we do not use killing to solve our problems.
