Besides that they kill far, far more whales than necessary to carry out whatever "research" into stomach contents they're looking at? Besides that every other country in the world studies stomach contents from whales which wash up on shore?
How about operational philosophy, where animal rights activists adhere to a mandate to avoid intentional harm to any human or non-human, in contrast to abortion clinic bombers who operate with the intention to harm and kill as many people as possible?
How about the sheer priority of concerns, that whales have a first-person point of view and suffer in the extreme for being non-consenting "research" participants, whereas fetuses have neither?
