Imagine denying other living and breathing lifeforms agency to thrive and change lol lol lol

Fun facts: the UK has crazy laws protecting trees and hedgerows. There's a national tree registry for old boys.
Like abortion? Thank goodness we repealed Roe Vs Wade
Fetuses aren't living and don't breathe. They can't live on their own and all their chemicals come from another human being (via the umbilical cord). This is opposed to the tree, which isn't reliant on a certain being and instead gets its nutrients by itself through its roots and get oxygen for respiration & carbon dioxide for photosynthesis by itself, not an umbilical cord.
Trees are undeniably far more independent and living than a fetus. You're kind of a weirdo for thinking some random small clump of cells is actually equivalent to a human child. I bet I could find basically the same thing in my back yard if I looked hard enough.

I mean I can cut down all the trees I want so I'm not sure that's true
You could also cut down ppl, if they weren't interdependent and interacting with each other enough to realise fast enough and start retaliating.
One of the big factors making humans (and animals in general) have power over the trees is, that we are faster, both at action and adaptation, thanks to our superior mechanisms of Central Nervous System and Muscular systems.
But at the same time, any single human would be much more dependent upon trees in general, as compared to how much a single tree would be, upon us, or other animals. Since the seed stage of the plant is sturdy enough to let it choose its starting point, all it really needs is for the place it chose to remain within a reasonable range of the germination conditions (soil, water, air, insolation quality etc.) and it will be just fine.
Please learn empathy.
