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 know why i even waste my time.

There. Finally. You admit that you consider yourself a superior creature. This is the crux of the issue. You have just demonstrated the outrage that enviro wackoes operate out of a sense of their moral and intellectual superiority. Out of this mentality all manner of evil ensues.
Uhhh, I'm the one considering myself superior?
"You have just demonstrated the outrage that enviro wackoes operate out of a sense of their moral and intellectual superiority."
If examining the facts and making an informed judgment rather than just throwing around baseless rhetoric makes me intellectually superior, then I guess I'm guilt as charged.

Thus demonstrating the truth of my original argument which has nothing to do with DDT. Reread my post.
I think you are confused or conflating this is a thread about environmentalism NOT farming stop introducing strawmen it's ridiculous.
Mosquito resistance to DDT occurs within just a few years. >>>
I've never heard of this.. Are there any FR or web links out there so I can learn about this?
There is quite a bit of research on this in Sri Lanka. This website is a good start and has links to studies and such:
