I got a good question:

How can you be FOR abortion and/or stem cell research and be AGAINST eating (chicken) eggs?

Maybe you don't like the taste of eggs?

I can think of many reasons. My favourite is that teenager girls are not kept in warehouses with no room to move with the sole intention of impregnating them and then aborting the foetus.

People who oppose the consumption of chicken eggs are evil.

It makes sense to me. If you are against cruelty to animals, you should also be against cruelty to people, but sadly that isn't always the case.

First of all you are comparing apples to oranges. Most folks that eat eggs do not eat the eggs that have been fertilized. so therefore its not a living growing thing. So to argue ur point ben ud have to prove the egg is living and growing if not its not cruelty to an animal. The only way ur argument would work is if you happen to crack the egg and u notice it had been fertilized then proceed to eat it and i am not one to do that. As for stem cell research idont see how it can be associated with cruelty. There are many ways to get these cells just not through abortion. These may also be obtained from misscarriages.

Actually, you are very true, I am comparing two different things. It's an argument from lesser to greater. If the egg, which is not a living, growing thing, is not to be destroyed, than what sense does it make to say that a living and growing thing, ought to be killed? It makes no sense.

One would think, that if one wishes to preserve a non-living thing, such as an unfertilised egg, that one would also wish to preserve a living thing, such as an unborn child.

well if you ask me it a choice a person makes. comparing dietary habits doesnt seem to be remotely on the same page as abortion. The only thing they have in common is they are a personal choice. And if you notice i said you cant have cruelty to an animal if it is never going to result in a animal
