I do not believe that there should be any connection between being vegan and any pro-life/pro-choice opinion.

I am vegan, but at least for me this only means that I am against killing any living being, and especially any sentient living being, without a good reason.

Killing an animal because I want to eat something or killing a human because I need some cash are not good reasons.

Unfortunately, there are also good reasons for killing some living beings, including animals and even humans, whenever the alternatives are worse beyond any reasonable doubt.




I understand, but the example was more about the way of getting your point across. These are two examples of radical stances where adherents are absolutist and tolerate no dissent.

The only acceptable outcome of a conversation with an "outsider" is that they will switch sides and give up their lifestyle to broaden my cause.
