The “nature rights” meme is becoming a very big thing in progressive circles — even proposed to be inserted in the U.S. Constitution by those on the left in California calling for a new Constitutional Convention ...
...Now, an article about the push to include “nature rights” in the Constitution by Rowan Walwrath, published by Mother Jones, hits on that very point:
Cal Con Con 2.0 contains a proposal to “render it illegal to terminate life’s ability to renew itself, in perpetuity.” When I point out that this could be interpreted as a ban on abortion, [Clare] Hedin [co-founder of the group California Constitutional Convention] was aghast. Cal Con Con is pro-choice, she says—so that language will have to change.
And there you have it, a right to life for fungi but not unborn babies.
Do not expect logic or consistency from nature-rights activists. ....
