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."

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Pro-life

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

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month 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.

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

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

[–] PigStyle@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] amon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

This is a great counterpoint, ill have to remember it next time I'm having a discussion about the subject.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 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.

[–] Glytchrider@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 1 month 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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah but if babies were delicious we would eat them too

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month 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 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Glytchrider@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] stray@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm told humans taste like pork.

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think they're anti-woman.

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

Think? We fucking know.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month 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?"

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 9 points 1 month ago (21 children)

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

[–] pankuleczkapl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Speciesism, but yes

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But that's different!

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