Actress Ellen Barkin: “Fetuses,” “Infants” Not People Because They “Cannot Talk”

Forget speaking for the voiceless – according to Hollywood.

ellenbarkin4Actress and abortion absolutist Ellen Barkin took to Twitter Nov. 1 to declare when life begins. (She’s not a scientist, but maybe she played one on TV once.) According to Barkin, a fetuses, babies and infants are not “persons” because they “cannot talk.”

A Tony and Emmy award winner, Barkin has boasted roles in movies including, “The Big Easy,” “Sea of Love,” “Ocean’s Thirteen” and “Very Good Girls.”

“News flash…a fetus cannot talk,” Barkin tweeted. “It is not a person. Not even a baby, not even an infant. Nope. Sorry.” TWITTER IMAGE ON LINK

In the past, Barkin proved she had no qualms about arguing abortion over Twitter, saying:

As a “pro-abortion” advocate, Barkin believes she’s really “pro-life:”

Besides warning that “Virginia Regulations Could Shutter Abortion Clinics” in 2012, Barkin is an Obama supporter (“if Obama loses the election,” then “a police state will be just around the corner”) and Wendy Davis advocate.

She also has a thing for mocking Christian conservatives, and her flip pro-abortion attitude compliments some of Lena Dunham’s past comments.

So, time to slaughter the deaf as well? And why stop at just one sense — there are five to choose from after all. Lets slaughter them all eh? The deaf, the blind, the mute...I have a friend who suffered nerve damage from an injury he sustained in Iraq — he’s lost quite a bit of his sense of touch. Guess we’ll have to slaughter him too.

Yes, we will have to do these things. We are on a slippery slope, if we adopt policies such as these talked about by this Hollywood idiot.

By that logic, there is no need for PETA or the ASPCA.

Ellen’s crowning screen achievement was as “Penny Priddy” in Buckaroo Banzai.....young and passably pretty, she never achieved any more competence in acting than this.

If I was King, I would surgically remove her vocal chords, then ask her to nod if she was still 'people'. If not, I can 'abort' her, right?

Euthanasia. The Left Wing wants to euthanize all that they see as “imperfect”. Missing a finger? going bald? have zits? walk with a limp? Euthanize them! Achtung! Schnell!

Ah, yes, the universal moral principle well-established in all civilizations that the mute can be killed out-of-hand!

Barkin, literally, must have had whatever brains she had, boinked out. Apparently her heart too.

Just found out why she's called 'Barkin'.

She's a dog.
