  A (human) mother that carries a growing fetus is a living being a pig, dog or a cow as well. They feel physically and emotionally and can be hurt.

  A fetus is, up to a certain point, just a slab of meat.

  As a vegan I don’t care about slabs of meat, I care about living beings.

    Foetus can also feel pain and hurt, though

      At which stage in development, since you seem to know this for a fact.

  I’m a non vegan dude but this is gonna be my easiest argument… here goes:

  consent.

    The foetus can’t consent

      the fetus is not a person. even if it were it doesn’t matter. what matters is that it lives in the mother’s body and the mother has to consent to what happens to her body. you can’t (or shouldn’t be able to) compel people to do anything with their body, including to keep others alive.

  Well, one difference is that the prisoner is not housed inside an unwilling woman’s womb. That’s not where steaks and pork chops come from either. Hope that helps.
