The purpose of the Thomson's essay is to prove a principle: “Having a right to life does not guarantee having either a right to be given the use of or a right to be allowed continued use of another person’s body—even if one needs it for life itself.”
The problem with the violinist scenario is that the fantastical premise is not grounded in reality.
Read MoreTo quote one of my favorite movies, “Take care of yourself. You and your body are going to be together a long time, be good to it.”
Read MoreHobby Lobby once had to fight a fine for refusing to create a possibility that would end the survivability of embryos. Now, Cruz and Britt are holding the healthcare of millions hostage if states conclude that the cost of IVF is too many lives of incredibly young children.
Read MoreThey didn’t choose to lose their children. And, yes, they are children because they are progeny. They are human—the same species as their parents—and they were alive. So, why isn’t the pro-choice crowd celebrating accountability against a corporation that allowed their choice to be taken away?
Read MoreTo be “pro-choice” is to believe murder is permissible if the mother chooses it. But a child is not an accessory that you may choose to carry, switch out, or discard when it doesn’t match your plans. The ethics of abortion are not difficult. Life is difficult. If whatever reason you conjure for an elective abortion couldn’t be used to justify killing a two-year-old, it’s not a good reason to kill that same human being if we rolled the clock back.
Read MoreTo be “pro-choice” isn’t saying, “Well, I would never do it, but women should have the right to decide.” Being “pro-choice” is telling the government, “We should discriminate against certain groups of people and allow physical violence against them.” You may not think of it that personally or maliciously, but that’s what it is. People used to argue slavery was a states’ rights issue rather than looking at it as a human rights violation. You are not a neutral party when you actively vote to support deliberate physical harm against someone else.
Read MoreThere is a time when politicians will come out and call the defenseless unborn a “child.” If a woman is raped, suddenly, that baby is a “child.” And it’s not her child. It’s not a grandchild of loving parents who want to help their daughter get through a crisis. It’s not a child with unalienable rights. They are the “rapist’s child.”
Read MoreThe adults in the room should talk about mental health, but I don’t think we have enough adults in meaningful positions of power to make a difference. Our country is unwell, and I don’t see much motivation to change that. Politicians, political commentators, the entertainment industry, academia, and even the medical industry have sold in on making Americans sick.
Read MoreAn abortion is a medical procedure to terminate a pregnancy, resulting in the death of an embryo or fetus. Disney is condemning Duggar Seewald for not admitting to purposely terminating her baby’s life, when the truth is, her child experienced a natural death in the womb.
Read MoreWe continue building misogynists who care little for women, women harden by becoming more like the misogynists they despise, and they cope by doing Tiktok Lives every night, insisting body count doesn’t matter, not because they believe it doesn’t, but because they resent the fact that it does.
Read MoreMichigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel are among top Democrats supporting Proposal 3, that will open the door for sterilizations and abortions for minors, without parental consent.
Read MoreBut even knowing this information, State Senator Scott Wiener is concerned about the “sex shaming of gay men around monkeypox” and compared it to the shaming of HIV. “Lecturing people not to have sex isn’t a public health strategy. It didn’t stop HIV—it made it worse—& it won’t stop monkeypox. What will work is vaccination, testing & education.”
Read MoreRowling isn’t wrong that many women are intimidated into silence. But Walsh isn’t wrong that men and women who stay silent, are contributing to the problem. Do they deserve equal scorn? Walsh doesn’t think so, and he softened his tone while engaging with Rowling.
Read MoreWhile some Michiganders are celebrating the small monthly savings, if you couldn’t afford the sales tax of tampons, you most likely still cannot afford the product itself. Inflation is hurting the pockets of everyday Michiganders, for products purchased weekly and daily.
Read MoreI’m not sure what side of history you want to be on, but if you’re aligned with Satanists and eugenicists you may want to rethink your position.
Read MoreWhy is there such an aggressive strategy to inject a chemical into the bodies of our youth linked to heart trouble and possible death? The CDC says the vaccines are safe and millions of people have received them, and this is true based on available information. It’s not likely anyone will receive the vaccine and die but is it a necessary risk?
Read MoreI don’t know what her true religious convictions are, but I believe the Bible when it says you can know a tree by its fruits. She is not pro-choice. She’s pro-abortion. And there is no “separation of church and state” when the state wants to use its power to impose its wickedness onto the church and believers across the country.
“She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story.” After reading this CNN headline, would you guess that Amari Marsh went through early labor—likely due to her chlamydia infection—and was charged because she didn’t remove her live child from the toilet after 911 dispatchers told her to? Probably not.
My mother taught us to play with one another, to work with one another, and to pray with and for one another. She already prepared us to endure difficult moments like these. My mother is a rare ruby, indeed, the type of woman that you read about in Proverbs 31.
It feels like she’s perpetuating an unsolvable problem with no personal cost beyond the breath required to virtue signal. That’s largely the issue with racial grifters. It’s always the system’s fault.
What has happened to our City over the past ten years? What has happened to law and order, to the neighborhood cop we all trusted to safeguard our homes and families, the cop who had the power under the law to help us in times of danger, keep us safe from those who would prey on innocent lives to fulfill some distorted inner need.
Some psychopaths are determined to hurt people, and the authorities have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. If that sick individual sees weakness in our defenses, they will hurt the innocent. That is the “fact of life” Vance was referring to.
In other words, Harris was hoping ABC would bail her out. It’s not their fault that she’s “fundamentally disadvantaged,” while going up against Donald Trump. It’s not ABC’s responsibility to try and close the gap with hot mics, and notes, or to sit them down so Trump doesn’t tower over her.
The Gold Star families who lost loved ones three years ago at the bombing of Abbey Gate in Afghanistan have been mum about their criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, but all that changed when she criticized a memorial at Arlington cemetery where former President Donald Trump attended.
Now, General John Kelly, who was acting as the White House Chief of Staff, has come out and confirmed the article. So, how is it possible that The Atlantic could create such a fantastical story about Trump’s true motivations in Paris when—according to John Bolton—Kelly was the one who told Trump they should not go to the cemetery?

Many Democrat operatives expect marginalized communities to experience schadenfreude when a powerful man like Trump gets what they think is coming to him. But the reality is that most people want real justice over social or performative justice.
