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

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

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."

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.

Pro-life

In their mind, is still just breeding more cheap disposable labor

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day 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

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

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

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours ago

beat me to it (by only 11h :D)

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

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] amon@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I don't care what species it is

I have three requirements for meat:

  • It isn't human flesh
  • It isn't rotten
  • It's cooked properly

dogs go to dog heaven, duh
of they got souls! /s

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think they're anti-woman.

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Think? We fucking know.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

That explains the obsession with cows' milk...

Anytime someone throws a fit about noncows milk being called milk, "Like, you know why they produce milk, right?"

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah but if babies were delicious we would eat them too

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm told humans taste like pork.

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that's different!

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