I have a friend who is pro-choice, not just in the case of rapes etc but basically as a form of birth control, just because you didn't use protection and don't want to be pregnant. The same girl is actively involved in organizing events to make people aware of the cruelty of using animals for food and clothing.
I'm not in any way trying to change her views, but I just wondered if this struck anyone else as odd...that some people see an animal's life as too valuable to kill but a human life not. The point of her vegetarianism is to make the statement that "animal life is as important as human life," she says, but isn't the statement more like, "animal life is more important than human life," if it's okay to abort babies but not eat chickens or eggs? I know some people feel that a fetus isn't a "person" yet, but it's undeniably human (can't be described as any other species!).
