Is PETA Pro-Life?
They should be.
California Catholic Daily has a piece on Vasu Murti’s book, The Liberal Case Against Abortion. Murti argues that the longstanding liberal agenda promoting abortion needs to change.
“By creatively and passionately using the universal question of the rights of animals, Murti analyzes the rights of the unborn,” writes Carol Crossed, president of Democrats for Life of America, in the foreword of the book. “The power of his persuasion is not based on one or more bodies of religious thought, but on sentient beings’ natural tendency to protect one another.” - California Daily
Gosh - finally someone from the secular liberal side recognizes the disparity between securing protective rights for animals, while advocating the wholesale slaughter of human foetuses through abortion on demand.
Will liberals listen? Probably not the elite - although the book may offer new strategies for pro-lifers to base their arguments from a liberal’s point of view. This is necessary since there’s a whole lot of people out there who could care less about the religious beliefs they feel motivate the pro-life movement in the first place. (”You can’t legislate morality.” - for instance.) They buy into the liberal agenda and have no need for religion, therefore they need to be convinced on their terms.
