Would you become a vegitarian if you were exposed to obscenely graphic and bloody images of the slaughtering of cows, pigs, lambs for out dinner tables?

No, because I don't equate humans and animals on the same plane. The uniqueness and dignity of humanity is special to me. You believe slaughtering a cow for food and slaughtering a human being because they are a burden, or are unwanted, mean the same things. I don't. To me they are precious and I mean to stand up for them because they are unable to defend themselves.

Vegitarians consider animal life to be every bit as sacred as you do fetal life. The logic behind dinner-table-animal slaughter images and choped up fetal images are exactly the same for the vegitarian and you. That logic being "if they see the horror, they will change their minds."

You do not believe the lives of animals to be worth converting to vagitarianism. Those images would make no difference to you.

The people who believe that fetuses are not real person will like wise no be converted by the images.

(My apologies to any vegitarians for using this example. I have never known a vegitarian to demand another person not eat meat.)
