Two things we at PETA never pass up: vegan ice cream and opportunities to educate others about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. (I call it giving them a "vegucation.")
Pro-life Catholic students and faculty at Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., are in a tizzy about President Obama's scheduled commencement address on Sunday. So, of course, we're erecting two pro-vegetarian billboards this weekend at Notre Dame to remind both sides of the abortion debate that a diet free of slaughtered animals makes sense for everyone.

It's imperative to have reverence for all life via being opposed to abortion, hunting, trapping, fishing, vivisection, slaughterhouses, factory farms and flesh-foods.

Great billboards!
Would they allow PETA on the campus giving free samples of vegetarian food as well?
I remember when I was in college money was tight, my parents were newly divorced, my mother was dying of cancer and the only money we had coming in was from her disability check and my part-time tutoring jobs, so anything I could get for free on campus, especially food, was of real interest...and yes, PETA, as new as they were (they were just coming into national promenence) was there regularly giving out samples and recipes. Thanks for getting me through some hungry days, PETA.

Great, I'm pro-life and a vegan, so I enjoy these!

Shouldn't the second sign say, "Choose Vegetarianism"?

I'm pro-choice/pro-women's lives and vegan! Excellent billboards--I'd like both as bumper stickers!!

I feel man is a predator as is most other animals on this earth. We are just a little bit better at it. If you choose a vegetarian lifestyle, then that is your choice, but others shouldn't be vilified for making a different choice.

Pleas point out the 'vilifying' in this piece, Tom.

So if pro-life people should be vegetarian/vegan, does that mean all vegetarians/vegans should be pro-life?
If not, why the double-standard?

Because the pro-life mindset is that you are killing an unborn child. And the pro-choice mindset is that it's not a child and has no rights to life until it is born. Whereas a clearly living animal, already born, has a right to life that no one respects except vegetarians. Ergo, a person can believe that children and animals start life at birth and neither one should be murdered. No double standard.
