Okay, so I have this... very odd question to put out there

I'm very Pro-Choice, and I was long before I went vegan, so I can't say it really affected it. I think there was a post like this awhile ago and the response was overwhelmingly pro-choice, I could be wrong though...

If it was less than four months ago I wasn't a part of the community, so I do apologize for duplication.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying. : )

Also, be ready to be accused of having an agenda for even asking this question. I was.

[wefoughtharder]

get over it.

[sifrid]

"Agendas" aren't really my thing. I don't even have a Vegan agenda, much more than a Pro-Choice/Pro-Life agenda.

indeed

[dagda_ollathir]

it always gets me when ardent anti-abortionists (ie, fundamentalist conservatives) are also anti-birth control- the one thing that prevents abortions!

Because we must populate the earth!!! There's still some land without condos on it! Breed, Breed!!!

Pro-Choice for sure

Right, those were the arguments we came around for in dinner, really... which is why I became thoroughly curious. It seems like in a way they are a little incapable of co-existing, and to me the first, when used out of context, could be an argument for JUST Veganism... ee, again, sorry, I haven't been part of this community for a super long time, and my flist doesn't show tags on the layout I have.

But in the case of pregnancy in the instance of an existing human needing someone else's body, the someone else has already made a decision where they risked this situation occuring. They've given their consent.
I'm not trying to argue that they should have to keep it, just pointing out that someone informed about birth control and chooses to use it has already accepted the possibility of pregnancy.

But someone who knows about birth control would know about abortion, and may have that as a backup plan. So ze wouldn't be consenting to a pregnancy.
