While I absolutely agree with the sentiment here, I doubt it'd convince anyone remotely "pro-life" - because one's "just a chicken", and the other's human.
I mean Christ, if you can't get them to sympathise with the life carrying the fetus, you're not gonna succeed with a random chicken's.
Memes like these exist not to change anyone's mind, but for pseudo intellectuals to stroke each other over.
Yeah, I get the impression that the thing that drives most pro-lifers is religion (or their twisted interpretation thereof), not compassion. And as far as I'm aware, their religion doesn't consider animals to even have souls but rather sees them as tools for humankind to use, provided to us.
Unless you account for them thinking of the carrier as just that. A means to an end.
Which is what it’s about. It’s 100% about controlling and punishing women. Everyone’s posting that Satre quote about anti-semites, but not understanding that it’s always applied to this debate too. A pro-life position motivated by tender feelings about embryos is rare; it is that pregnancy gives men power over women. (Weren’t some of the Southern states suing the government due to falling birth rates because teenage mothers are becoming rare? Teenage pregnancy is the way to control the entire course of a women’s life.)
