Being vegan and pro choice!

You say: "You're a hypocrite!" "You can't be vegan and be pro choice, how can you care more about animals than babies?!" "Will someone think of the children?!!" Well, my response is, I hate babies! No, I'm kidding, well kind of. It's true I'm not a big fan of babies but I don't want to kill babies, I don't want anybody to kill babies. What you have to realize is, a fetus is not a living thing. Also, a mothers choice to have an abortion is her choice and her choice alone. Animals do not have this luxury. An animal never offers up its body to satisfy its preys hunger. I've never seen a rabbit lay down for a fox, I've never seen a Zebra lay down for a lion and I've never seen a cow lay down for the bolt gun. All animals want to live as long and as healthy as possible. There is a huge difference between a woman choosing to abort a fetus and millions of animals a day being killed for human hunger, that difference is choice.

I'll now go to the topic of killing the old. If my parents were in an accident and put on life support with no hope of rehabilitation in the future, I would have the plug pulled. Now, before you say, "you're playing God!" Get real, putting a person on a machine that breathes for them is playing god, if god had his way that person would have been dead long ago when their body quit on them. I would expect the same would be done for me. I wouldn't want a machine to keep me living. The same goes for my pets. If they are suffering and in constrant pain it will be my choice to have them put down. I will not watch my friend suffer more and more each day as I keep him living for my selfish wants.

I guess that is all I wanted to rant about right now. This just came to me when I saw a person complaining about a certain vegan being pro choice and I thought I'd write how I felt about it.
