I am a fence sitter on this issue, I generally lean toward 1st tri ok, otherwise no unless life of Mother is at risk. I think making it completely illegal would be a step backwards..BUT I read this on another forum & how can I argue with it?
Quote:
It is against the law to touch, YES EVEN JUST TOUCH an eagle’s egg or an owl’s egg. Even if there is no proof that egg was fertilized. I have yet to meet a lib who would say its ok for me to take that egg. I should not touch it because it could potentially become and owl or an eagle. Its just an egg right? When a bird lays an egg there is no way to look at it and know if its ever been firtlized or not. When a woman has an abortion you can be sure a child has died.
Yet we have laws on the books to protect the egg of Eagles and owls eggs. I will go to prison if I touch or take an eagle egg or owl egg.
That is backward thinking. And the only defense to this argument I got from libs so far is that humans are not valuable and owls and eagles are. A pathetic argument from my point of view but it was the only one given.
So tell us, do you think I should have the right to take eggs from eagles and owls or do you agree they are too valuable and should be protected. And since we already know your stance on abortion we can compare the two and see if its at all hypocritical.
