You do make a good point, killing and eating an aliens eggs is more like forced abortion on someone who wants to keep them. If the sympathy is towards the mother and not the eggs then you are correct and the left is not hypocritical in this particular case, if the sympathy is towards the alien eggs/ future babies then the satire kind of stands.
So the question is what is the outrage about
the poor alien mother
or those poor innocent alien babies?
And there is still the question if it is fertilized or not, if it is not is basically eating the menstruation.
Yeah. I think a lot of people get confused by battery hens - the chickens that lay commercial eggs for consumption. THOSE eggs are unfertilized. You don't need or WANT a rooster anywhere near laying hens, and anyone who has had eggs from someone who made just that mistake can tell you how nasty a fertilized egg looks in the pan ...
But a fertilized egg is, well, just an external womb with an infant growing inside of it. But humans don't lay eggs, and they just see "food", _even when the character in question is supposed to BE A PERSON, and not "an animal", which is a distinction that should be re-examined, because you know the Sentinelese? I don't see where they can be considered "people", beyond species supremacist assumption based solely on genetics.
