Okay...so...references anyone...? {{unsigned|Nygiantsfreak14}}

This article starts out well enough, but it makes some absurd claims later. If animals had no innate fear of death, they would not survive, and in any case, anyone who has ever been near a frightened animal can attest to the fact that they are capable of feeling fear to a significant extent. I'm going to cut that part out for now, but it can of course be added back in if there is some sort of citation added.

Veganism

Trelleban:

'''Veganism''' is the following of a diet in which refrains from consuming any [[animal]] products, including [[meat]], [[seafood]], [[poultry]], [[eggs]], [[milk]], or [[honey]]. It is often thought of as a stricter form of [[vegetarianism]]. Vegans also try to avoid use of [[wool]], [[leather]], [[fur]], and other animal-derived products. The basis of veganism is the idea that killing animals for food is only one part of a wider problem of unfair exploitation, and that keeping animals for eggs, wool etc is another form of the same exploitation.

These beliefs are refuted by most, as many believe [[God]] placed animals on earth for human consumption and to allow us to prosper. This is not supported by scripture, as Genesis clearly states that God gave man plants and every green thing for food (see Genesis 1:29). God only allowed meat eating after the flood,(see Genesis 9:2-3) as all plant life had been wiped out and the environment was not as suited for hardy plant populations as it was before the flood.

In addition, many mistakenly believe it is impossible to supply all the essential nutrients required by the human body entirely through plant products. In actuality, we could supply more nutrients to people through plants than meat, since it take 16 pounds of grain fed to a cow to make 1 pound of beef. Treating them as if they are common and expendable objects however would be blasphemy to the God who gave us dominion over them. Jesus speaks of compassion and in the New Testament God is stated by Jesus to look after the needs of animals (see Matthew 6:26). If we are to follow God's example, we must also treat all life with respect.

Animal welfare most closely fits with the morality expressed in the Bible. Eating animals is acceptable, but only if the animals are treated with respect. This is the least of honors they deserve for sacrificing their lives to us.

Pro-life

Trelleban: /* Criticism by liberals */

'''Pro-life''' is the name given to people or organizations who defend the human rights of the unborn child, and who oppose [[abortion|fetal homicide]].

While "pro-abortion" seems to be an accurate term for fetal rights opponents who support [[tax]]payer-funded abortion, [[pro-choice]] is the term that describes the feelings of the majority of [[liberal]]s, and by which they would prefer to be called.

Due to rulings by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], the [[United States]] allows abortions at virtually any time in pregnancy. Many state [[government]]s even pay for abortions using taxpayer dollars, usually due to a court order rather than the will of the people.

In [[America]]n politics, the [[Republican Party|Republican]] and [[Constitution Party|Constitution]] Parties are strongly opposed to abortion on a moral basis and believe it should be illegal. The [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] Party supports abortion and opposes legal restrictions. Leaders in the Democratic Party, such as its presidential candidates, also support taxpayer-funded abortion. However some Democrats such as the [[Blue Dog]] Democrats often hold pro-life views, and some Republicans such as [[Rudy Giuliani]] hold pro-choice views.

The phrase "pro-life," especially in the [[Catholic Church]], may include other issues relating to human life, such as [[euthanasia]] and the [[death penalty]].

==Criticism by liberals==
In an effort to confront the Pro-life network, liberals are promoting a new lexicon called '[[Forced-birthers]]' so as to deny [[recognized sexual liability|recognized sexual liabilities]] such as the [[parental responsibility]] for fetal children. This alludes to the fact that pro-life people want a women to carry a child to her [[God]] given term of nine-months, thereby in liberals thought process 'forcing' her to carry a baby to birth. [[Liberals]] use the forced-birthers remark to mock those who don't support a right to heartless slaughter.
