Unborn babies can be killed on a whim

In fairness to Switzerland, I'm pretty sure abortion is illegal there except in the case of a medical emergency. Mothers who get abortions illegally can go to jail there. So, that's pretty bizarre about the plants, but at least they are still protecting babies more than plants.

Yeah, but doctor-assisted suicide is legal there. A friend of mine did that there with his terminally ill mother.

I was glad to hear it, but it looks like that’s changed...
from Wikipedia:

Abortion in Switzerland is legal during the first trimester, upon condition of counseling, for women who state that they are in distress. It is also legal with medical indications – threat of severe physical or psychological damage to the mother – at any later time.”

“Up until 2002, abortion was – technically – legally available in Switzerland only with restrictive medical indications. A constitutional amendment to legalise abortion in the first trimester was narrowly defeated in a popular referendum in 1977. However, in 1978 and 1985, initiatives for constitutional amendments aiming at making abortion harder to obtain were also defeated by a wide margin at the ballot box.”

No, it’s not illegal there. They recently changed their more restrictive laws to allow for first trimester abortion at will. After that you have to show a medical “emergency” or “distress.”
