I come from a country infested by anti-choice/pro-life extremism and I like to reuse what I've seen and heard from them against radical vegans to give them a taste of their own medicine (regardless of my stance on any of those issues):

So, abortion causes deaths of millions upon millions of babies yearly, the victims are always innocent, there are numerous medical complications, and God's wrath on the world is imminent and inevitable if we don't stop doing this right now, everyone, no exceptions, not even thinking about it. If you disagree, you murder babies, you are a horrible person, and you are the direct reason for the destruction of humanity.

How does this compare in a perspective?

I do not believe that there should be any connection between being vegan and any pro-life/pro-choice opinion.

I am vegan, but at least for me this only means that I am against killing any living being, and especially any sentient living being, without a good reason.

Killing an animal because I want to eat something or killing a human because I need some cash are not good reasons.

Unfortunately, there are also good reasons for killing some living beings, including animals and even humans, whenever the alternatives are worse beyond any reasonable doubt.

I understand, but the example was more about the way of getting your point across. These are two examples of radical stances where adherents are absolutist and tolerate no dissent.

The only acceptable outcome of a conversation with an "outsider" is that they will switch sides and give up their lifestyle to broaden my cause.
