Is it a moral contradiction to believe in the rights of animals while ignoring the rights of unborn human babies?
Deb
This is a loaded question. But to answer it, the stances you're alluding to (being pro-choice and being for protecting animals) are only hypocritical if the various reasons are conflicting. For instance, if you think abortion should not be illegal before 5 months, in part because the fetus cannot feel sense-pain (can only have unconscious impulse reactions) until the third trimester, and you think that the rules regulating slaughterhouses should be changed because the animals are made to feel physical pain - then no, those views are not contradictory. It depends on the individual philosophy of the person, and believe me, people have a lot of different reasons for believing what they do on this issue. I recommend to anyone that thinks being pro-choice means being anti-life or pro-death to find the smartest, most reasonable pro-choicer you can, and have a long and civil discussion with them.

How can a person believe that animals should have rights while believing it is okay to abort unborn human babies?
A simple answer to your question as you stated it is "A person can believe anything they want." If a person chooses to... they can believe the moon is made of Cheese and that stars are pretty Christmas lights on the mantel of God. However, that doesn't make it so. Maybe, the question you really want answered could be stated another way, something like... Isn't it a moral contradiction to believe in the rights of animals while ignoring the rights of unborn human babies. Most everyone agrees that murder (unjustified killing), is morally wrong. But, abortion is murder only if you accept that a fetus is a "person", rather than a thing or "non-person". When one defines a fetus as a thing, and an animal as a living creature, then the fetus has a lower status. Kind of like a chair and a little fuzzy-wuzzy kitty cat. Which one are you going to choose to save in a fire? Which one deserves more moral consideration? p.s. I am not saying I agree with either side of this issue, I am simple trying to answer the question.
