I personally believe that eating meat is murder . Killing an innocent animal just because you prefer the taste of hamburgers over beans . And yet , 95 % of the people in my life eat meat . Does it make me sad ? Sure . Do I think there should be a law banning meat ? HELL FUCKING NO . Even though I would agree with such a law ideologically , the actual , practical consequences of such a law being enacted would be insane . First of all , people would still find ways to eat meat , just like the prohibition didn ' t stop people from drinking alcohol . And second of all , I don ' t believe that 95 % of the people in my life should be in jail or live in fear of going to jail . What do you think will happen if abortion is banned ? Will people who can ' t afford children suddenly be able to give them a great life ? Will people who don ' t want or like children suddenly become wonderful parents after the government forces them to give birth ? Do you honestly believe an unwanted fetus will live a happy life after it ' s born ? Or that women wouldn ' t just resort to lifethreatening back alley abortions out of desperation ? I empathize with people who truly feel abortion is murderit ' s hard seeing something you find so abhorrent be so widely accepted by people . But I wish these people wouldn ' t let their ideology cloud their judgement about what will actually happen if abortions are made illegal .
