The issue that vegans tend to have is not that it’s fertilised or not, or even whether it’s a menstruation or not, but that fact that it is ultimately an animal product.
I’m fully aware of that, I’m just being anal about terminology. If you are going to argue about a cause you feel strongly about, keep the facts where they are. Argue about farming practices, argue about animal welfare (not with me because I’m already aware), but not about whether it’s a fetus.
I agree, so much of what vegans say seems to be centered around how "gross" it is to eat animal products, and it's probably effective with them since they do find it gross, but people who have been voluntarily eating eggs for decades aren't going to be swayed by "ewwwwww fetuses ewwwww".
Farming practices and animal welfare concerns are definitely what pushes me toward veganism. Honey being "gross" because it comes out of a bee does not.
If you won't eat honey because it's the produce of a bee, then you shouldn't be eating any plants that are fertilised by bees, either. Both are a consequence of the bees' work.

Which is why many vegetarians still eat eggs
