Is it just me or are pro-life and pro-choice people a bunch of hypocrites?

Question

I mean think about it. A lot of pro-life people will kill animals for food. They also tend to favor the death penalty. Then you have the pro-choice people. They are willing to kill an unborn child but yet feel the death penalty is wrong. Isn't all life the same? What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

you are mixing apples and oranges

slaughtering animals for food is because we are the top of the food chain - and they were made for our benefit, Given to us by God

Also given by God are the new lives that replace us. That life begins when the sperm fertilizes the egg - and all information needed to form that new individual is there.

By the way - If we had not enacted abortion Roe Vs Wade, and people paid tax at the same rate as today - we would not have a deficit, but a surplus of tax money in the treasury

Answer 2

"Isn't all life the same?"

Uh, no, a human is NOT equal to an aardvark or a rutabaga.

And the death penalty is earned by misdeeds, and protects society as a whole. Unborn babies have done nothing to deserve death.

Think things through, really.

Answer 3

Deuteronomy 19:21: 'Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.'

In other words, if a man murders a man, he should be put to death. But ask yourself this, what man has a baby, still in his mother's womb, murdered? Is the fetus guilty of murder? Is he guilty of harm? Why then, should the law allow him to be put to death?

Acts 10:9-13: 'About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."'

Animals, do not sin. Animals are beasts, who walk the earth, obeying God. God has a purpose for animals, to nourish our bodies. Animals are below humans. In the beginning, God gave man and woman charge of all the creatures. First God gave Adam, and his wife, Eve plants for food. And then to Noah and his sons:

Genesis 9:3 : 'Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.'

Therefore, the killing and eating of animals in this life is not immoral.

So, no. No, all life is not the same. All life is different. God made man in his image. Yet, God knits you in your mothers womb, forming you different from any other living being. Every human is unique.

And so, Malachi 1:2-3 reads: '"I have loved you," says the LORD.
"But you ask, 'How have you loved us?'
"Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" the LORD says. "Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.'

And then, even more so, Romans 9:21 says: Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

These are my thoughts in response to your question.
