CAUTION: This
is a vegetarian related article. By writing this, I'm not trying
to change anyone's beliefs or push my own on you, the reader. I'm
just trying to make a point. *trying*
I was sitting in the
drive thru at McDonald's today waiting for the person to take my order
when i noticed the car in front of me had one of those "It's a child, not
a choice" stickers on the front of it. These stickers have always
kind of bothered me because just in the way theyre written it's almost
as if these people are trying to say you're *wrong* if you believe it's
ok to get rid of an unborn fetus because you couldn't afford to bring it
up right or because you can't even handle putting it up for adoption.
But that's not my point.
I'm sitting here watching this woman in the car and she pulls forward and
gets her food. I see the person in the window put a hamburger in
the bag and hand it to her. Ok, so apparently this uninformed woman
thinks it's perfectly OK to kill a living breathing animal.. AFTER it's
already been born.. not before.. This animal probably lived to be at least
2 years old and most likely older but it was killed off so that SHE could
have lunch for a cheap price at a shitty restaraunt. But it's NOT
ok to, for whatever reason, have an abortion and kill off a FETUS, not
a CHILD, a fetus, which, if you get the abortion within the first or second
month, CANT FEEL ANYTHING.. it doesn't even understand the concept of pain.
It's just there.. in a bubble sucking the nutrients out of the mother so
that maybe someday it can become a child. but for now, it's just
an UNBORN fetus.
NOW, maybe you can help
me understand the logic behind this.. Apparently, it's just fine and dandy
if you kill something that was just sitting there minding it's own business
trying to live off what little shite it gets to eat and drink, its ok to
kill an animal that's been LIVING.. its ALIVE people.. and it CAN feel
it when that fucker shoots it in the face or however they feel like killing
it. BUT, it's just a CRIME, its MURDER if you have a fucking abortion
and kill (im not sure if you can actually kill something that's not ALIVE,
but for lack of a better word, i use "kill") a fetus, that's obviously
not living or it wouldnt be attached to the inside of the womb sucking
in shit from the food the mom is eating, it would be eating all this stuff
itself if it were a living human being. It's an organism, a PARASITE
even.. and it hasn't been born yet. So technically, you're not "killing"
anything when you have an abortion, but when you go to the store and buy
a big ass steak or some bacon or take a trip to mcdonalds and get a hamburger,
you ARE killing something.. How can you convince yourself that it's OK?
(unless you are the woman i saw at mcdonalds or someone just like her,
these comments arent directed towards YOU personally, just so you know)
And yes, I have been
told that if we didn't kill off these cows and pigs and whatnot, they could
overpopulate. OH MY GOD!!! NOT TOO MANY COWS!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!! THOSE
HORRENDOUS CREATURES!! Besides, there wouldnt be as many as there are if
people didnt raise so many of them just to kill them and sell them, SO
if people didnt kill these animals to have a nice home cooked dinner, there
wouldn't be any money in the meat market, farmers would have no reason
to raise more cows to kill them, and they would NOT over populate.
And don't think it isn't possible for people to be healthy and eat happily
without meat. Jews do it dont they? Why the hell cant anyone else?
Ok, thats my little
rant. thanks for hanging in there and reading it all the way through. I
just had to get that off my chest. I'm not even sure if I've gotten
my point across quite the way i wanted to, but like i said, i was only
*trying* to get someone to listen.
