Chick culling

There's a difference between throwing a full grown baby in a woodchipper and ending a pregnancy of in an early stage. European countries also have limits on the stage at which you can end a pregnancy. Besides, when it comes to a pregnancy, the right to self determination and physical integrity of the women in question being pregnant is in play.

How so? I think you mean "according to my ethics, it's inconsistent/unreasonable" but you didn't say in what way. Just saying "This thing we do here, they think is bad. This thing we don't do here, they do!" is not an argument or explanation. Anyway, making this about US vs European views on abortion seems rather off-topic.
