Vegans...

[Vagos]

Something I've been wondering lately, as I know/have met an increasingly number of people who are or have become vegans. Or even just vegetarians who are strongly against the killing of animals in way, shape or form. I have no problem with these people's moral compass. So long as they're not forcing anything on anyone else, the personal moral code of not wanting to kill animals seems like a noble one.

The thing I'm wondering is that how come 9 times out of 10, this doesn't transfer over to abortion? If killing a sewer rat is considered to be immoral by these people, surely killing a human fetus is as well? Again, this person doesn't have to force a pro-life view on other people, I'm just referring to personal morality. How can someone be a vegan who finds it morally reprehensible to kill animals of any kind, but on the same token have no moral qualms whatsoever with abortion?

And sorry if this was already a thread, I don't visit SMP very often.
