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 MoreYou believe in being paid what you’re worth and providing for your family is a priority. I imagine that’s why you spent the media tour of The Color Purple discussing fair wages for black actresses. So, I’m certain you can find common ground when I say that President Joe Biden’s unconstitutional OSHA mandates, which impacted millions of Americans, are a great concern. My sister didn’t know if she’d be able to keep her job, and if not for the conservative majority Supreme Court, she likely would have lost it all because the Biden administration wanted a say in what she could do with her body.
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 MoreMany 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.
I 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.

Since election day, I have read and heard hot takes from Democrat operatives trying to explain Vice President Harris’s loss to former (and officially future) President Donald J. Trump. So far, I’m convinced Republicans are destined to rack up more wins because Democrats do not get it.
