I was pro-life for emotional reasons for a long time & still am for myself. But I see that perceptions of embryos as babies is simply false.

As a pro-lifer: lol, no.

When pro-lifers talk abt babies, late-term abortions, "partial-birth abortions" or "murder", it's what they use
@HPluckrose -
Those who references as babies are an empathy shortcut. Easier to say 'baby' than, 'a fellow human of equal worth'.
-
The use of "baby" is quite misleading, and I for one won't take Appeal to Emotion logical fallacy seriously.
@HPluckrose -
Also seeing an embryo as a fellow human being of equal worth is the same mistake.

No reason to consider personhood to start when egg & sperm join. They weren't 10 mins earlier. Brain development makes ppl

I get this point, but do you think an ethical vegan is more obliged to take a position protecting an embryo? To be consistent.
-
If they also oppose abortions on animals. Different rationale. However, sick of abortion topic now & veganism for a long time

In my experience, some of the most pig-headed pro-life people are men.

yeah, I'm not pro-abortion either, but being pro-choice only makes sense and we've evidence to back it up.
