So let me see if I understand you correctly. You are saying it is good for the planet to kill fetuses ("ridiculous overpopulation of the human race and the extent to which we are destroying the planet is justification enough to kill an unwanted fetus "), but it is "more cruel to kill a fully developed human than it is to kill a retarded fetus" and so the criteria for helping to save the planet is that the killing must be relatively convenient and also humane?

Yea it sounds like you want all of these decisions and policies to be black and white instead of shades of gray. Abortion is obviously not ideal, but it does help prevent further population in an already overpopulated world.

Pretty much this:

Why wouldn't you want it to be humane? Why would you want it to be inconvenient?

What are you even implying with these retarded questions?

How about toddlers? They don't have a fully developed sense of identity until around three or so.

And what morality prioritizes in the manner you have described? Are you referring to the feelings of the mother relative to the life of an embryo? Or something more dire?

While not fully developed, toddlers are more developed than a fetus. They are developed enough for the idea of killing them to become abhorrent. Sounds like a good place to draw the line to me.
