I was working today with a client who works at planned parenthood, with one of my dogs in my lap and had a thought.

Has anyone besides myself noticed that some of the biggest advocates for spaying and neutering pets are also some of the loudest supporters of the Pro-Life campaign?

Just something to think about and I'd really like to see what others think. I'm not looking for a pro-life/ pro-choice debate, though. We all have our views and all views, right, wrong or indifferent should be respected.
But I just wonder about the strange double standards some people set.

Happy Holidays ya'll.








PS If it matters, I'm pro-choice and my dogs aren't spayed, they just adhere to forced abstanance.

The answer to your question is no. Never noticed it.

I did notice that many of the supporters of the "pro-life" movement are also in favour of capital punishment though.

Kieyote Merry Christmas. Hope life is good.

Yep i notice the double standards regularly. Its like people think Animals will always be there and they don't have to care.

Because an animal can't speak apparently they can't think or feel.

Weel thats the impression i get to often from people.

Well I think there is a big difference between aborting a child already in the womb and preventing a pet from becoming pregnant...I'm all for spaying and neutering pets...particularlhy because those cute puppies and kittens frequently end up in over-crowded animal shelters and have to be put down!!!!!!!!!

I haven't noticed a relationship between pro-life & neutering pets or pro-life and capital punishment but I sure as hell have noticed a direct correlation between pro-life and a fervor for sending our young men & women to get blown to pieces in some middle eastern slum.

God forbid you should kill a fetus, but it's ok to send your son who you've nurtured for 18 years, who may have a wife & child of his own to get beheaded by some whacko religeous fanatic.

Thank you, these are the thoughts I'm looking for.
As far as Pets Vs. Fetus Places like planned parenthood preach abstinance, use of birth control (ost give it away), and adoptions, but have other alternatives. What I meant was I've seen people the same people with flyers for spay/ neuter as holding picket signs against giving teenagers birth control.

I've noticed that the prolifers are evenly ranged for and against the war, but your point remains. Just remember that at the moment every American soldier is still a volunteer. not only that, but if we were allowed to fight the war the way our enemies fight it, we'd have won years ago. {But that's another thread!}

I do appreciate the input and it gives me more to think on. I wish EVERYONE the very best this holiday season.
