I am pro-life; I am against abortion.
I have never made my feelings about infanticide a secret. My pro-life stance is not born from religion or sexism but as an extension of my Vegan ethic and a profound feeling that all innocent life should be protected.
I personally have no faith or serious belief in an afterlife. I see life on our planet or wherever it may exist as an amazing occurrence and it is an apparent desire of all life to continue and carry on against all obstacles and odds.
I feel that it’s a broken logic that loves Mother Earth and the Animal Nations but sees the murder of a baby in the womb as an acceptable means of population control, much like a hunter that believes he must kill to cut down on the Animal populations. Industrialized and technological civilization is what maintains human overpopulation, not pregnancy. Living a natural life in a natural environment, nature takes care of populations, perfectly and without fail. This idea that humans must intervene is egotistical human-centered bullshit, whether it’s a redneck with a rifle or a baby murderer with a white smock and a PhD.
I have also found the practice of abortion to not be the champion of feminism and civilized practice that it’s made out to be. When we look at the practice of infanticide globally it’s really a very liberal white group of people that defend it. Indeed here in America abortion clinics have been caught in undercover investigations earmarking funds from supposed white racists to specifically go towards the killing of black babies. More than once they have also been caught helping girls as young as 14 not only get secretive abortions but also protecting their 30 year old molesters’ identities. Abortion is an industry of exploitation and death, driven by racism, money and the need to expand, just as despicable and hazardous as any other such industry.
The abortion doctor and vivisectionist are every bit part and parcel of one another. Just as I find it inconsistent to be Vegan and cheer on the death of babies, I find it equally ridiculous to care about unborn children, but not our Mother Earth and Animal relations. For that does not make you pro-life, but only pro-fetus. Respect for innocent life must be consistent and reign supreme if we are ever to live in a just society. Your rights end where another’s begins and if you infringe upon those rights to life then you are no longer innocent and your actions should not be tolerated.
Nor do I believe that a fetus is just a bunch of cells and not an unborn baby. A fetus within a few weeks of inception has everything in miniature that you or I possess. Therefore, I don’t think that it’s a woman’s right to murder the child she carries any more than it’s a woman’s right to murder her born children. The only valid reason for canceling a life, for killing, is when that life is a destructive force to all other life around it, such as a non-Vegan human adult.
One Vegan argument I have heard is that these unborn children will most likely grow up to be meat-eating consumers, so it’s best to stop them before they can start. To which my response is: you’re pre-judging and, in doing so, you’re promoting the murder of innocent lives that are defenseless. I agree the world is overpopulated with people. So, utilize legitimate contraception and don’t have an unwanted pregnancy to begin with. Why turn your hatred for humanity on the innocent and voiceless when there is a world of flesh eaters, vivisectionists, milk drinkers and animal enterprises that deserve to be aborted.
I’m sure this statement is bound to upset certain people within the Animal Liberation / Rights community, and that’s fine. We are all entitled to our opinions and beliefs, and I’m sure many of those same people will then write me and Vegan Hardline off as some right-wing ideology in disguise. But the same can also be said of Malcolm X, Dr. King, John Africa, the entire grassroots Rastafarian movements and many, many others that have fought, and do fight bravely for social justice and were and are pro-life.
The truth lies in a syncretic worldview, in a way of life that is opposed to all existing governments and technological civilizations, but is not born out of some hippie idea that everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want. For instance, as a Straightedge man, I think that drug and alcohol use is weak and breeds apathy. I feel that those who cannot stop putting hand to mouth are defective and dangerous to everyone else around them. As a Vegan, I feel that those who proclaim to love the Earth and Animals but still use their dead bodies and by-products are conflicted and hypocritical. I believe that there is right and there is wrong. There is a certain quota of suffering that this world will allow, after which sanity and compassion can only be restored through force. Not thought, not words.
These are my basic beliefs concerning a Vegan pro-life ethic and also a basic tenet of Vegan Hardline. It is what it is. If you disagree it’s because you are wrong. You should adjust your worldview and actions and become right.
“Our early semi-human progenitors would not have practices infanticide or polyandry; for the instincts of the lower animals are never so perverted as to lead them to regularly destroy their own offspring” – Charles Darwin
Vegan Straightedge rebirth, whatever it may take!
