Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a question and would like to see where everyone stands on this.
Lets compare the world as a whole to a smaller place in an ecosystem. Lets say the maximum amount of deer in particular alloted, closed off forest, is 200. This forest supports 200 deer stability for a long period of time because of the self supporting ecosystem. Lets say a huge amount of food is dumped in that forest that only the deer eat. So the deer breed out of control and eat all the food, that food is gone and with a population of 2000 deer all the rest of potential food will be gone also. So the deer starve and die in huge quantities and after the damage they did on the environment, it supports only 20 deer now.

Since this same logic can be applied to humans and the world, why would we be worrying about something as seemingly trivial as abortion being legal or not? shouldn't space exploration be a bigger priority? Or at least more of an attention to what we are doing to the planet we are living on?

I really ask this because I do not understand your positions on this. Please help me here.

P.S. Sorry If wrong place!

... i wouldn't really call abortion trivial.

especially not compared to something as expensive and quite probably pointless as space exploration.

Now you put it like that it doesn't seem THAT trivial :|

I still can't get over abortion yet though.

Yeah, Space exploration is more important.

i dont think it is.

What's the point in exploring space when the journey required to find any "habitable" planet - IF such a planet existed - would most likely be longer than even the longest human lifespan?
Think about it. The probability of another planet with the same average temperature as earth, that also just so happens to have water in immense supply, which isn't already inhabited by something which could kill us all anyway, has a surface made of soil and the same average orbital speed as our planet, is roughly the same size and is at the same angle away from the star that it's orbiting as this planet, as well as the many, many other factors that would be in play that would have to be an exact match in order for the human race to survive on said planet?
What if planets are like snowflakes? What if no two planets are ever the same?

What if the whole thing is just a colossal waste of resources vital to keeping ourselves alive?

And if there is such a planet, what's to say that anyone would survive the journey to find it?

It takes years to even leave our galaxy on a space shuttle.

I really don't think that you can say that something as unlikely as that is more important than the issue of weather or not it's right to end the life of an unborn child.

=] please don't think that i don't like you.
i just have very strong opinions on topics like this.

Wow, you're like uber clever.

I think you make better points tbh haha.

It's true what you say though, especially the last line.
