Is it impossible for a vegan, arguing for the inherent value of all life to also be pro-choice/pro-abortion?

I don't want to stereotype, but i've met several hardcore vegans on my campus who also were really outspokenly pro choice. For me that's kind of a contradiction and i pointed that out, but i didn't get any helpful response on how that contradiction might be resolved. Any ideas how to combine the two?

I'm sure they have no problem with killing tapeworms or other parasitic organisms either, it's pretty easy to justify abortion to yourself on those grounds

Simple
By being a vegan humans won't grow properly, animals will eat living grasses, they have their sacred cow, and goose and duck and pig

i see, so it's an argument on the grounds of "it hurts the mother/impairs her freedom". That does make sense...

Arguably up until a certain point a fetus is part of your own body and thus under your own jurisdiction. You can be a vegan while consenting to have a cancerous growth removed, I should think.

I could even see an argument the the point up unto which it stops being part of your body is 'the point when it can live without my body.'.

Also, and more cogently, you can be pro-choice while considering abortion the wrong choice for you, personally. I know a number of pro-choice women who say they would never consider getting an abortion personally.

Much in the same way that someone can give up alcohol without wanting to legally enforce prohibition. Pro-choice as a movement is about enabling choice.
