Well, I quit meat about half a year ago, and the sins of the past can not be held against me now, so I'm not really bothered by that.
(And pigs are - contrary to common belief - actually quite clean. Only when you don't give them enough room or anything but mud to waddle through do they become filthy.

Trust me, I've helped in the process of making gelatin from scratch (for a pork pot pie) and it's disgusting. Take a pig foot and boil until the toenails fall off. Strain. Boil a bit more. Strain. Air your house for a week.

"The eggs you buy at the supermarket are eggs that have never been fertilized."
However, this is completely different from claiming that "Eggs you eat are unfertilised."
My point stands:
Eating a fertilised chicken egg is effectively eating a live chicken to a "pro-lifer".

Originally posted by stockenGelatin is used widely in yogurt, which I eat a lot of. You'd think this was a vegetarian-friendly product but most contain pork or beef gelatine. It's revolting and I always check labels. Fruit pectin is used instead of gelatin.
Although, I've also learned that gelatin (used in a lot of jelly like food, including such candy) is actually made from the waste products of slaughtering animals.

I expect "Pro-lifers" are more concerned with human lives than chicken's lives.
That doesn't sound like a ridiculous stance.
Where do you stand?
You sound pro-abortion.
Do you acknowledge a time limit after which an abortion should not be allowed?
