Default Re: Vegans...

Lets be as clear as we can about things, and not misuse terminology. Are you opposed to me pulling weeds in my garden? Harvesting corn and wheat? All of those are composed of cells that are dividing. We are terminating life in all those cases. You would say "Anyone who thinks there is nothing wrong with farming is deluding themselves?"

Right, it seems to me that the vegans I've spoken to like to think of abortion as somehow the equivalent of killing a worm or a mosquito, which is a true head-scratcher to me. Again, I don't want to get into a huge abortion thing, I'm just questioning that if vegans adhere to a person moral belief that preservation/protection of life is important, that this belief should cause some serious conflict with the abortion issue. Even if it's some kind of sliding scale, I would think a human fetus is still pretty high up on the chain...not down with mosquitos and worms.
