Seriously, where are 99% of the life begins at conception people on the meat industry?

      I don’t understand your stance. Being vegan is more ethical, but eating meat is necessary? Surely if meat is necessary then an omnivorous diet is most ethical?

        the song is meant to be what the conception people think, but…

        it is necessary for certain people, and it’s easier to achieve certain things by eating meat/animal products. I am an omnivore, but I understand that veganism is more ideal, I just don’t have the capability of achieving it (I can’t even eat properly on an omnivore diet).

    If you’re really being serious, then the answer is that most (or, at least, the vocal majority) of those people don’t even really care about living children. I don’t see that type of person generally giving any more care to a non-human being than they would a human being, and they already don’t care about people other than themselves.

    “Pro-life” has always been a misnomer. More honest descriptions would be “anti-choice” or “pro-forced birth.”

      It’s anti-woman.

      The real true reason most people are against abortion isn’t because they don’t believe it’s a necessity. It’s because they are afraid that some woman won’t be punished for having sex. Whether or not the fetus survives isn’t the point, it’s that someone has to be punished for enjoying life.

      Serious in that they should stand up for non-human animals, but in the kind of way where you also know the answer as to why 99% aren’t

        Why else do they constantly vote and campaign against measures to improve children’s lives?

          Well, most christians here would not agree with americans on many issues, christianity is not the problem.

            I haven’t seen Christianity mentioned in the post, or the comment you’re replying to… And neither have been edited.

              Yeah, in my defense, my head hurts like shit and I can barely think.

              Christians are usually the ones against abortions, and it seemed to me the people the original comment was talking about were conservative christians, but I see how my comment is not entirely relevant.

      Apparently that soul doesn’t matter when trying to prevent it from dying from preventable diseases with vaccines and nurturing it with affordable education.

        Don’t you know it’s much more preferable for your child to die of a preventable illness than for them to get autism from vaccines which is totally a thing that happens?

        /s of course

          It’s even worse. One of the contributing factors for autism is fine dust particles in pollution from fossil fuels. And the ones against vaccines are often also the ones for fossil fuels.
