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

[-] cogman@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

It's anti-woman.

The real true reason most people are against abortion isn't because they don't believe it's a necessity. It's because they are afraid that some woman won't be punished for having sex. Whether or not the fetus survives isn't the point, it's that someone has to be punished for enjoying life.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Serious in that they should stand up for non-human animals, but in the kind of way where you also know the answer as to why 99% aren't

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 19 points 5 months ago

Why else do they constantly vote and campaign against measures to improve children's lives?

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

[-] PigStyle@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

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

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 27 points 5 months ago

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

[-] riwo 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] Glytchrider 4 points 5 months ago

Don't you know it's much more preferable for your child to die of a preventable illness than for them to get autism from vaccines which is totally a thing that happens?

/s of course

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It's even worse. One of the contributing factors for autism is fine dust particles in pollution from fossil fuels. And the ones against vaccines are often also the ones for fossil fuels.

[-] zea_64 2 points 5 months ago

When I infodump for 2 hours straight I can see why they would prefer if I died /s

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Yeah but if babies were delicious we would eat them too

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 months ago

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 21 points 5 months ago

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

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Baby Big Whoop? Damn there's a whole product line now?

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 8 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Glytchrider 5 points 5 months ago

I wanted to say that but wasn't swift enough.

[-] stray@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago

I'm told humans taste like pork.

[-] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Some cultures that actually have cannibalism refer to human flesh as "long pig" or similar because of the resemblance.

[-] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 16 points 5 months ago

It's racism. They think human lives are more important than other races.

[-] pankuleczkapl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 5 months ago

It is so prevalent that this type of bigotry actually has its own name: specieism

Speciesism, but yes

[-] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

The human race thinks they're the supreme race, better than the other races.

[-] galanthus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, exactly. The complexity of the human soul is uncomparable to the basic impulses of any animal.

[-] amon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

A single cell

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 months ago

Where exactly in the single cell is the soul stored?

[-] dandelion 5 points 5 months ago
[-] FruitLips@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Says what, some ancient text?

[-] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

Embryos don't have souls. The soul develops during the third trimester.

If you can play music into your belly and get a kick, that thing has a soul. But there's a lot of time where it's not that developed.

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

[-] celeste 23 points 5 months ago

I think they're anti-woman.

But that's different!

Honestly though, is "but it's different" a proper informal fallacy?

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I'm still waiting for them to stop celebrating birthdays.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Seriously, where are 99% of the life begins at conception people on the meat industry?

hunting and eating steaks, singing

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 6 points 5 months 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?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

the song is meant to be what the conception people think, but...

it is necessary for certain people, and it's easier to achieve certain things by eating meat/animal products. I am an omnivore, but I understand that veganism is more ideal, I just don't have the capability of achieving it (I can't even eat properly on an omnivore diet).
