Dolphin fetus more important than human fetus???

#1 Postby j » Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:25 pm

dolphin fetus

Just curious what the masses think about the news coverage and heartfelt concern for the welfare of this poor dolphin, and more importantly, the efforts being made to insure the “fetus”, or calf as they are called in the dolphin world, enters this world being able to speak when its mother is deaf?

I don’t know..it just struck a chord with me when all over this planet we have the pro-abortion crowd, eliminating babies with about as much concern as one would have upon squashing a cockroach under one’s shoe. Where’s the concern for these babies? I wonder how many of the pro abortion activists out there, have looked upon this Dolphin story with grave concern for the “calf”??

Ow come on, no need to generalize and insult everyone who is pro-abortion. :roll:

I think this is just animal empathy gone wild. This is a wild animal and in its natural habitat it wouldn't survive. Just let nature do what it's supposed to do to this dolphin and worry more about protecting the dolphins in general.

I am pro abortion. We as humans can make our own decisions, and have to live with the consequences of those actions. As for the dolphin, as the pp said, this dolphin and calf probably would not survive in the wild, but in this case, the caretakers are taking on the responsibility. I have no problem with that if that's what they want to do, go for it! :D The mother dolphin cannot make those types of decisions for herself as humans can so I don't think the two cases can be compared.

Isn't an abortion thread by definition "political"?

I don't see any problem with humans deciding to save a dolphin.

Ditto.

We're discussing whether or not we're going to let this stay. My advice, keep it civil guys and gals...

I imagine that the money that gets spent on this dolphin will be less than what gets spent annually on beer, cigarettes, pornography, or NASCAR racing, so I suppose that its a worthwhile cause.
