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."

Pro-life

In their mind, is still just breeding more cheap disposable labor

Some of them explain this away with "Humans have souls, animals don't".

And yet many can be up in arms about dogs & cats being eaten in some regions despite that claim

dogs go to dog heaven, duh /s

I don't care what species it is

I have three requirements for meat:

  • It isn't human flesh
  • It isn't rotten
  • It's cooked properly

what about sushi?

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

Yeah but if babies were delicious we would eat them too

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this implying you know for certain that human babies aren't? Maybe we should be a little concerned how you figured that one out

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

So I ate a baby big whoop wanna fight about it?

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

I've got a modest proposal for you...

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

They are pro-birth. They are absolutely not pro-life.

One single HUMAN cell, everyone knows humans are above all animals

hunting and eating steaks.

This is necessary, life feeds on life feeds on life...

I think that being vegan/vegetarian is more ethical than eating meat due to the use of resources, treatment of animals etc.

But this kind of dumbass shit doesn't help your cause.

[–] stray@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

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?
