I could be wrong but I think the comparisson of the omelette and fried chicken was supposed to be that you aren't killing a chicken by making an omelette, but you are killing a chicken to fry it. Just like you aren't killing a baby by taking the morning after pill because at that point it is still an egg cell, not a baby.
egg cell + morning after pill = omelette (no harm done)
fetus/embryo + abortion = fried chicken (harm done)
Sorry if this equation appears to be callus, that wasn't the intention, just trying to make sense of the chicken/egg confusion.
Exactly. Thank you for saying it better than I did.
A chicken, on the other hand, is unlikely to become an omelette or fried chicken without human intervention,
LOL ... true. Although if my dogs had their way, they would be frying chicken and making omelettes with their own little paws everyday.
