I recently saw this picture on Facebook...
According to the US Fish and Wild Life Service the penalty for killing a bald eagle, or it's eggs, is a maximum fine of $250,000 or two years imprisonment. The penalty for going to an abortion clinic and killing a human fetus, nothing. In fact, it's legal. How on Earth does this make any sense?? Does this mean that the bald eagles eggs are somehow more important than the unborn human child? Actually, according to our culture birds are more important...
I bet that if I polled 100 random people and asked them if they believed that it is right for the United States to place a ban on killing unhatched bald eagles, most people would say that it is right for the government to do so. Now, if I polled 100 random people and asked them if the believe that it would be right for the United States government to place a ban on killing unborn human fetuses, the results would probably turn out a lot differently.
"You are aware that bald eagles are an endangered species, right? That's why they're protected. Humans are not an endangered species. Calm down." This is a comment taken directly from one of the comments from that Facebook post and I believe it's a view that a lot of people in our society share. What an absolute lack of value for the human race. With this view, why don't we go back to instituting slavery because ALL we are is a bunch of animals. Why don't we just shoot all of the poor children all over the World and take them out of their misery because the World's ALREADY over populated. THIS is how we value people today. How completely selfish are we? It's easy for you to agree with abortion when you are sitting comfortable in a chair reading this from your cell phone or computer. But can you speak for the millions of unborn babies murdered?
If you believe that abortion is okay, but you also believe that killing bird is not okay, your conscious has been sealed.
