the branch of biology dealing with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms.OK, so that's when I started thinking about some of these "greenies", or environmentalists. Why would many of them accept abortion? Let's imagine a scenario: What if there was a marshland that someone wanted to clear and build on, but there were some nesting ducks in the way. The ducks flew off with the noise of the approaching bulldozers, leaving their eggs behind, and the developers just wanted to bulldoze right over the nests and crush the eggs because they weren't convenient being where they were. They were in the way.
Wouldn't environmentalists be jumping up and down and loudly complaining that the natural ecology wasn't being respected, was being disturbed by man and that you can't just kill eggs that way because they will hatch into ducks? That it was unnatural, and an invasion of the environment, which must always be respected.
How is this different from abortion? From the natural ecology of the body? What gives man the right to go in to the environment of the womb, and disturb the natural ecological process happening there by killing and removing the growing life, just for (9 times out of 10) reasons of convenience? Just because he can? And yet these same environmentalists would get livid at another natural ecology being violated.
That seems very hypocritical to me.
