In short: Meh.

I can't say this in the community, so I'm posting here on my journal... I don't mean to sound as scathing as I fear I might, but I find it morbidly fascinating that this girl's whole explaination for being ProChoice boils down to the fact that she simply doesn't care.

Most pagans I know do not see a difference between their pet cat and the next human to walk past them in the street.
Some people do see humans as part of the animal kingdom. Myself being one of them. I hold humans and animals equally in any given equation. :D

*shrug* She's entitled to her opinion. I just don't think it makes a very good pro-choice argument, since it could just as easily be used to argue that parents should be able to kill their children...they're human, sure, but they're taking up resources, and if they're a burden to the parents, why not?

Agreed it could be used to support something such as you stated.

Then again... people will continue to justify human behaviour until the sky falls.

By this I mean that every human has a basic instinct; survival. When a person's career/body/mind/etc is threatened it is in our nature to defend it.

The only differences between the two sides that I personally can see is that our moral standards are quite polar when we put them side to side and thus resulting in pro vs. anti.
