Rights of nature above human life?
News For You 
Editor:
In the Feb. 5 edition of Kamloops This Week, the cover story touched on the abortion debate (‘McLeod does not support fellow PMs’ abortion probe’).
Flip a few pages in and we have a letter to the editor from Sandi Mikuse (‘Embracing Mother Nature’) referencing (and agreeing with) a David Suzuki article in the Globe and Mail about granting Mother Nature “the constitutional right to exist and flourish.”
Now, I have to ask: Am I the only one who finds it disgusting and pathetic that we, as a society, appear to be more eager to grant constitutional rights to trees, animals and rivers and not to a human being inside the womb?
