And it is not about an assumption but about a 'value judgement'. Someone says they believe X and apply it to a situation and then when you apply those same values to situation Y that same person no longer thinks X fits.

If you believe killing is wrong when it comes to animals/humans (death row/etc) and don't believe the same about a fetus past a certain date (like when it has a heartbeat) is that consistent? If so - why?

People have power over animals, and other people, and if you think using that power is wrong when used to kill is it any different in the case of abortion than it is in other cases?

Not talking about PETA itself here but in general.
