Matthew Ivan Bennett: 'By not eating meat, or simply by eating less meat, one saves more lives than by opposing human abortion. A plant-based diet is more 'pro-life' than being anti-abortionist.'
By any measure, the piglets rescued from Circle Four Farms in 2017 were as alive as any human. But when it comes to non-humans, the only measure that seems to matter is taste. Roughly, 124 million pigs are killed every year in the United States . During the 50 years of Roe v. Wade, the National Right to Life Committee estimates that 63 million abortions took place. If our concern is life, one figure ought to shock us more than the other.

Even in 1838, in our land, it was not uncommon to see ads in the papers, such as this one placed in the Raleigh Standard: “Ranaway, a negro woman and two children; a few days before she went off, I burnt her with a hot iron, on the left side of her face, I tried to make the letter M.” The owner, Mr.
Yet it would be pointless to insist the pig you ate yesterday, or will tomorrow, had a heartbeat, brain activity, problem-solving ability or the experiences of pain, terror, dreaming, friendship and love. Why?
