Hi, Re the leather - that's actually the way a lot of vegans live. I can honestly say that I do not (knowingly) posses or consume any animal products whatsoever with one exception only - I *do* travel on PT and in cars that contain animal products in their tyres, as this is completely

I guess if we took this 'pro all life' argument to the extreme then we would not have leather in our lounges, cars, shoes. There is a school of thought out there that plants scream when cut so I guess we don't cut any, don't rip veges off the tree/vine, don't fell trees etc!!! Cheers Judy ---

I am extraordinarily disappointed that for some women the devotion to thecare and wellbeing of women extends only to those who 'fit'. I accept anywoman's right to belief in how to manage their own lifestyle and the choicestherein, therefore I think it is absolutely okay to disagree

Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] re: abortion etc Abby, use your passion to work to reduce unwanted pregnancies, rather than judge those who make such a difficult choice. Just wanted to make it clear that I judge the action, not the woman. A very good friend of mine had an abortion, I love her

I don't find it ridiculous that you would say it. Vegetarians are often held to much "higher" expectations than others, but just in case you hadn't noticed they are human too and liable to all such vagaries. Apparently refusing to eat animals or objecting to animal cruelty implies one is
