no, it’s not hypocritical at all. i’m guessing you’re messaging me about abortion right now because of the post i reblogged about how the cells that get taken out of your body when you get an abortion are not fetuses with thoughts or feelings. that’s not even the reason why i’m pro-choice, though. my pro-choice beliefs go hand in hand with my veganism because they are both in support of LIFE. i value the life of a living person more than i value the life of an unformed fetus that could exist because of something horrible like rape or incest. but i support abortion in literally any circumstance. every single person deserves to be able to have control over their own body. and it’s not hypocritical just cause i’m a vegan. and honestly, it’s impossible to even compare murdering animals with aborting some cells. most animals are killed in slaughterhouses after being raised on farms where they were bred by artificial insemination. those animals NEVER SHOULD HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. if the whole world went vegan, those animals (that consume so many resources and whose life purpose is to die for people to eat them) would never have existed. how is this situation even comparable to someone whose life may be ruined because of some fetus growing inside of them? nope, i’m not a hypocrite, and everyone deserves to have equal right to choose what happens to their body and their life.
This is such a good response. Part of being vegan is knowing that every being deserves body autonomy. It doesn’t make sense to be vegan and anti-choice.
