Says you. I see nothing ethically wrong with abortion.

Virtually every species of animal is known to kill their own young from time to time. Why should humans be held to a different standard? The earth is already overpopulated as-is.

Also a large number of animals cannibalize the weak (chickens, for example). Now, I presume that you hold humans to a different standard for that behavior - why?

I don’t. Humans are animals, too.

Ah - well, at least you're consistent.

Just because people ate their own children during a siege doesn't mean it's morally acceptable.
