Abortion and environmental laws stem from the same principle, the reduction of the human species to a status of undesirable.
The laws that destroy private property, imprison nature lovers, fine farmers and hunters, and restrict access to vast tracts of wilderness are all done in the name of protecting "nature" from people. This is not simply a matter of laws that can be undone.
There are countless examples of environmental laws run amock with deadly consequences. An excellent one is the banning of DDT, considered a miracle product with profound health benefits during its use. The banning of DDT was an act of pure murderous demogoguery. Not one of the thousands of workers involved in the production of DDT was ever found to have an adverse health condition. Several of the manufacturers ate DDT by the spoonful to demonstrate that it was not a health risk. Nontheless the substance was banned.
There was never any science proving that DDT was dangerous. No such proof exists even today. DDT was banned purely for political reasons, to placate enviro Nazis. It has resulted in the death of tens of millions of children by malaria and other mosquito born diseases. None of these deaths need have occured.
The outrageous premise that falcon egg shells were thinned by DDT - a fraudulent claim - was used as adequate justification for the death of millions of children. In truth the birds had been hunted to near extinction 50 years earlier and were rebounding when the ban was instituted.
If you believe that environmental laws are merely laws that can be changed and have no lasting consequences you have not looked at the issue. Very nearly as many have died due to the dehumanizing influence of environmentalism as from abortion. All have died for the same reason, because there is a culture of death in control of our political establishment that is committed to the eradication of undesirable human beings.
In the 20th century nearly every nation embarked on a campaign to eradicate undesirables. Nearly half a billion humans were slaughtered in the 20th century in obedience to this evil philosophy. The great slaughter in China of 30 million in the name of the Great Leap Forward was exceeded by the murder of as many by a Woman's Right to Choose in the US.
Environmentalism is an evil philosophy that must be eradicated from our nation. It has no place in a society committed to human dignity and freedom.

I don't want hysterical policy. I also don't want to see concern for and care of the environment demonized because a bunch of left-wing nutcases have twisted it for their own purposes.
Interestingly enough, there were Biblical laws requiring a field to lie fallow every seven years to let it rest -- a sabbath for the land. Sometimes I think we've forgotten as much as we've learned.
Well Said!
In 1973 two things happened:
1. The Endangered Species Act was signed into law and enacted which enabled animals, trees and scum in rain puddles to have God-given rights and became protected under federal law.
2. Roe vs. Wade where 9 mere humans, allowed it to be made possible for Humanity to slaughter, burn, aspirate and sever Human Babies, created in God's image and likeness. Since then, humanity, and the USA, spiraled in a downward trend.
Touch a turtle egg or its nest, Canadian goose or a spotted OWL and get a yr. in jail and a $50K fine, and don't cut down certain trees or fill in that puddle! abort a child, get paid $750.00. And we wonder why there is NO respect for HUMAN life created in God's image.
This is why we need to inculcate a culture of life in our society in general and in churches and schools (starting in kindergarten) . People tend to think of children as disposable items.

It's a grievous sin that animals and turtle eggs are afforded more protections and rights than a human fetus and baby created in God's Image with a soul.
Genesis 9:3
Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.
Man:
Kill the humans (abortion) and save the Bears, the spotted owls, darters, the Canadian Geese and the whales and don't crack that turtle egg!!
You can get fined up to $10,000 for messing with those eggs and baby-killing physicians get paid government and private money $$$ to kill humans! Go figure.

Science and the ESA
The Govt. recognizes that a fertilized egg from an animal is "alive" and protected by LAW (The Endangered Species Act of 1973) and when an "alive" person created in God's image is growing and living in his mother, he's termed and given the moniker of just a blob of "unlive" protoplasm or tissue which can be aspirated if it's the mother's "choice" to do so with no protections under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for EVERY careless word they have spoken."--Jesus (Matt. 12:36)

CONDEMNING CURRENT ERRORS
THE SYLLABUS OF ERRORS CONDEMNED BY PIUS IX
I. PANTHEISM, NATURALISM AND ABSOLUTE RATIONALISM
William Jasper, author of "A New World Religion" describes the religion of the UN: "...a weird and diabolical convergence of New Age mysticism, pantheism, aboriginal animism atheism, communism, socialism, Luciferian occultism, apostate Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism".
Oh man. I agree with you, but we have a whole lot of brainwashed Freepers here who love their Mother Earth. Get ready for an earful.
No one has suggested "turning our back" on anything. But "Environmentalism" as it now stands is a move toward both paganism, collectivism and a command economy. Find a new word for it if you like, and a new group to hang out with, because "environmentalism' is just plain evil.
Talk about being brainwashed.
Banning DDT was basically genocide!
Exactly, they've been brainwashing our kids for 20 years now. It's why there is so much acceptance of this slice of liberalism, even in some conservative circles.

Amphibians are certainly affected by DDT and have been known to munch on mosquito larvae as well as adults. Not only that but heavy use of DDT would also speed up the DDT resistance of skeeters.

Wrong again and again and again and again. It must be difficult to never be right.
DDT does not harm invertebrates.
There are no studies showing resistance to DDT.
It IS a wonder pesticide.
Saying it ain't so does not mean it ain't so.
thank you presenting some sanity...all the while the DDT advocates ignore the alternatives!

What alternatives?
There are exceptions. Check this out:
You like Jim Wallis do you?
yes, but there is precious little else said about it. Fill the earth and subdue it was the order. Ever since the fall, all our endeavors to save creation, which is now in bondage to decay and corruption, will fail. The only one who will redeem creation, and those who trust him, is Christ himself.
Most of this stuff is coming into the church under the social(ist) gospel mantle. To put our hope in our abilities to 'fix the world' in any way is the essence of Dominionist Theology.
I wish them every success in this undertaking.
(They're the ones always taking the cold showers, right?)
BINGO! PETA is a great one for playing on people's ignorance of animals and animal behavior to get their agendas across.
Yeah just like Republicans want children to starve.
