- This is not based on individual value. This is based on the species value
- as a whole. Perhaps you aren't not aware, but the bald eagle is
- in danger of *extinction*. Besides, if bald eagles were abortion
- themselves it would be none of our business -- it would be seen as
- natural.

- I fail to see how you arrived at this conclusion. And please, set your
