That may very well be, Charlie. I wasn't arguing about the abortion issue. I do believe in choice but I can understand the other side as well. It's certainly a complicated and deeply human question, I wouldn't deny that.
But to go off the issue at hand--the ethics of environmental protection--is a prevarication. You didn't address the problem of what to do about the environmental crisis, but went off into the abortion question. I wasn't talking about the latter. I raised the environmental issue because, as I mentioned, it's an aspect of the Trump administration that bothers me a lot, and because it's a concern for all living beings, not only liberals.
This latter point is ironically a reason for hope, since at least when we are all sick or dying from the environmental catastrophes that are surely coming or already here, we or our descendants will be able to agree on something: that it sucks to be sick and dying from a situation we could have prevented.
