How can an anti-abortion supporter be okay with eating eggs?

Question

Seriously.

It's a chicken's abortion.

They're stuffed into cages just to produce eggs, not give birth.

Comments? Thoughts? Giggles?

Answer 1

The chicken eggs that we eat are usually unfertilised. Anti-abortion people don't care that women avoid pregnancy and in doing so an unfertilised egg is thrown away with menstruation, it's the fertilised egg they care about.

Many anti-abortion people eat meat as well, so they regard non-human animals as lesser beings to humans (even humans in a persistant vegatative state).

Answer 2

I'm no anti-abortionist but I believe your question misses the point. There's a vast difference between human and other animals, in this case a chicken. Moral values differ on each case. You don't murder a chicken, you slaughter it.

The other thing is that Not all eggs would hatch.

Answer 3

Easy, a chicken egg is not equivalent to a human being. Would you, as a pro choice person, eat a human egg? Same logic is involved.

Answer 4

Your question reminds me of a an article which quoted a man who said he was more concerned about some endangered insect than starving children in Africa because there were fewer insects than kids.

Once a person starts equating human life with animal life you get some pretty strange views.

Answer 5

Giggles.

Well, i think so-called "anti-abortion-ists" value only human "eggs".
