If you are a Vegetarian or Vegan...do you support abortion???
I personally am a vegetarian and do NOT support abortion. I am vegetarian for health reasons and because of the intense torture animals go through to be slaughtered. But isn't i the same for abortion. Babies killed, brains sucked out, or premature "abortions" when the baby is older and is crying and dyes in a nurses arms in a basement of an abortion clinic because their body is not developed enough. Just curious on everyone's thoughts....

Old Lady,
I am a vegetarian and not a vegan....and I do not think I am "loftier" than anyone else. I don't push my views on anyone else and this is a board for vegetarians & vegans. My question was to them...but...
Many animals do suffer before they are slaughtered...if you are not scared of the truth go to http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/prefs.asp?...
Many cows are not dead when the reach the person that dismembers them and they feel every single cut on their body until the die of blood loss or shock. Please do some educated research. My question was do vegetarians or vegans support abortion.....I don't know why u are answering.

I can admit...I think it is so so so sad...but when the mothers life is critically on the line, I can see the reason behind the decision.

kmennie,
Excuse me....I did no research...quite on the opposite. I did do research miss genious.....there was an actual nurse at a clinic that dicsussed many partial birth abortions where the baby is much older in gestation. And she even said many of the baby would cry and scream after they where taken out of their motheres....and she would sneak to the basement and hold them until the stopped crying and died. She later quit working for that company. Maybe you shoud do your own research.

I am not pro-abortion, except when it's necessary to save the mom's life. I am also NOT a Christian.
I think people need to be more responsible about sex and use protection. I also think the father should have a say on the abortion issue.
^ As for the idiotic post above:
Plants bend towards the sun because of a hormone known as auxin. This builds up on the dark side, causing cell division and elongation on the dark side which bends the stem. Botany 101.
Secondly, even if that poor wee carrot feels pain, what do you think we feed the animals we eat? Do you know the massive amount of alfalfa that's brutally ripped out to feed a cow?
Thirdly, animals are not slaughtered humanely. Ever been in a slaughterhouse?
I'm a vegetarian and also am not pro abortion.
Unfortunately life is not black and white. I think Abortion for Medical and Incest cases only make sense.
Im a Veg and I have the same views as you, its just wrong.
Being a vegan doesn't make you loftier than everyone else. How do you think a carrot feels when it is brutally ripped out of the ground and crushed to make carrot juice. And don't think plants don't have feelings -- they do. Scientists have captured the 'brain waves' of trees and other types of vegetation and come to the conclusion that they do have feelings. Why else do plants bend towards the sun? So you are killing things just as much as the person who eats a hamburger.
By the way, food animals do not go through intense torture when they are slaughtered. It is quick and humane. And it is carefully monitored.
I am a Vegetarian and still believe in a womans right to choose while abortion is not ideal for any party it is a neccessary evil in society as I guess is the killing of animals many humans feel they need to eat meat I'm not going to condemn them for that although I do advocate more humane ways to kill livestock.
Good for you, sweetheart. That's real special.
Had a rollicking laugh at "dyes(sic) in a nurses(sic) arms." Just keep on not thinking for yourself and not doing any research, and life will just stay that black-and-white!
abortion is so sad. it is actual murder, the only difference is its legal. im a anti-abortion vegetarian. (adoption is wonderful, more people should do it)
I'm a vegetarian, and I am pro-choice. I don't like the idea of killing unborn children, but if it's early enough, then yeah, it's okay. If it's far enough along that the baby is developed enough to cry, then it is wrong.
But if I got pregnant as a teenager, I don't know what I would do.
I'm pro choice, not pro abortion. Nobody supports abortion itself but many support the right to choose it in certain circumstances. I certainly do not agree with it used as birth control..but mistakes happen among other reasons.
I'm vegetarian, pro-choice and completely against partial birth abortions. I doubt many people are 'pro-abortion'.
I'm a vegetairan and pro-choice. I don't think you make an accurate correlation between not eating meat and women having abortions. They don't abort their babies so they can eat them.
Anyway, abortion would be wrong for me, but just like I don't tell other people to be vegetarians, I won't tell other people what to do with their bodies.
First of I'm a vegetarian not a vegan...I don't believe in killing at all. I'm not a vegetarien just because of the pain the animals go through, but because they die for humans and that's not their purpose. So no, I don't support abortion. In fact, in my religion we are not suppose to eat any animals, or even have abortions. It all goes back to again, not killing. (I dunt even kill bugs)
I'm Vegan and Pro-Choice.
i am a strict vegetarian but i am still pro-choice. the babies do not suffer when a woman has an abortion, because it is not even a baby yet, it is an embryo or a fetus, which is basically just a bunch of multiplying cells. women are not allowed to get an abortion once the baby could technically live outside the womb because doctors know it is then alive and can feel pain. i personally would probably not get an abortion, but a woman should have the right to choose what happens to her own body. each case is different, so everyone should be given options in case something bad happens to her. abortions are completely different from killing animals to eat. we do not eat the babies we abort and we abort them because they would probably have a horrible life if they were to be born.
Yes, I'm vegan and I support abortion.
Think of the alternative. What if it's an unwanted child? The product of a rape? What if it gets abused, or has a depressed mother. That hurts the kid more than preventing its life. It's NOT a baby yet. It's a potential life. It should be the woman's choice whether or not she can nourish it properly.
Illegal or not, it's going to happen. 'Member the coat hangers?
Hell no! I'm a vegetarian and could never support abortion.
I'm pro choice.
I think it has nothing to do with being vegetarian or vegan. Because it's not done at all for the same reasons.
Just like some choose to eat or not meat, some people sometimes have to choose to end what could be a future life.
There are so many cases, some that make you feel that people need more education and some that just makes you want to support whoever has to go through that.
Whatever we are for, abortion will always be there, and has always been there, legal or not, the only difference is that being legal it's safer for women.
But I also believe that past a certain number of weeks abortion should not be possible, and that's why I like that it's legalized and offers the possibility to do it more easily. Because if you know it's accessible, you can do it earlier and reduce the risks of effects on the fetus.
vegan? yes i am. abortions? fine with me.
