Humans are animals. Why doesn’t it make sense to protect the rights of beings that can feel and know they exist over biological material that can’t feel or know it exists?
The vast majority of aborted fetuses are not sentient. Sentience is the ability to know oneself exists through feeling. Yet in the US, there are laws protecting insensate biological material but not sentient male chicks ground up alive in the egg industry. I see the moral value of a day old chick as far more than a 14 week fetus since the male chick has sentience and can feel pain while a 14 week old fetus cannot.
Every vegan meme I see on here just further convinces me it’s an elaborate joke.
I’m not a vegan but you’ve lost me. Explain your thought process.
The idea that animals are on the same level as humans is laughable.

no, it’s the ability to feel (especially pain)
Wouldn’t a being that felt pain or any other feeling automatically know they exist?
