Why is the destruction of an Eagle egg - an unborn eagle, if you will - subject to a fine of up to $250,000 and two years in jail whereas the destruction of a human embryo - an unborn human being, if you will - is a right and taxpayers pay for it?
Anyone?
I don't need the cant about a woman's right to choose or similar talking points. I'd just like to understand the logic involved.
Someone might answer that, well, eagles are nearly extinct. But that's not true - just go up to Alaska or hang around some rural areas here in Oregon. Eagles are abundant. In fact, they've been off the endangered species list since 2007.
I'd just like to understand the logic:
- Dead eagle embryo = a fine and jail time
- Dead human embryo = "Pass Go - Collect $200"
Is the answer - are the underlying policies - based on logic or ideology?
Anyone?
