Controversial Position - Read at your own risk.


Consistent – adjective, compatible or in harmony; not contradictory
Congruent – adjective, suitable, agreeable, coinciding exactly when superimposed.
Within the framework of our society we are entitled to our own views on life, morality and God, at least until our government becomes so big as to regulate what we can or can’t think.  At the end of the day we all have to live with our choices and be prepared for any judgment after our death.  The one thing I would ask for is a consistent and congruent view from others.
If you believe in what is broadly stated as women’s rights, or the woman’s ability to choose to abort a fetus then for Pete’s sake don’t get all teary eyed when some homeless dog or cat is euthanized.  Don’t stride self-righteously into the debate on animal protective needs as if you are morally outraged that such things can be allowed to happen.
When you choose to support the destruction of a viable fetus and then claim animals need our protection you show you have not thought through the moral issues or you are incapable of establishing a consistent and congruent set of principles necessary to keep society viable.
If you want to be Pro-Choice then be pro-choice.  Why shouldn’t the guy who wants to use kittens as bait for shark fishing have the same ability to choose what should happen to something in his care?  What is the difference?  Neither the kitten nor the fetus has a voice in the decision.  Yet when someone argues for the fetus you get all uppity about women’s rights!  What about shark fisherman’s rights?  I have a very hard time with this outrage over animal abuse or animal euthanasia from women who claim to be pro-choice.
