So stroke survivors, mutes, people with aphasia , autistics , laryngeal cancer survivors and so forth aren’t human either you massively stupid twit?

Just because a parrot can speak doesn’t make it human

I’m gonna assume she’s killed one of her babies and this makes her feel better.

And some people aren’t human because they can talk.

Yep, it’s probably 99% accurate to assume that any “pro-abort” is really a “had-abort” that is trying to assuage their guilt.

True, but my comment was about her looks 30 years ago.

“Barkin has also stated on Twitter that she is an atheist.”

Soooooooooooooooo .... in your demented mind ... Ellen ... anyone who is ‘mute’, for whatever reason, is not human?!

Apparently so — this does bring up the interesting issue of how easy it would be to strip someone of personhood simply by removing their tongue.
Too bad the Nazis didn't know this, they could have claimed that they hadn't exterminated 6 million persons if only they had the wisdom and knowledge to first remove the tongue, and therefore their personhood, before the execution! If only they'd had the wisdom of this woman to guide them they would not be so ill-regarded by history.

So she thinks little ones can be killed up until they start speaking in a comprehensive way?

Wow - these people truly are depraved.

As I construe her remarks, babies and infants are not quite persons like the rest of us, but we give them the benefit of the doubt, AND fetuses don’t even reach baby and infant status. She’s not going after the deaf, because they do communicate.

Why does anyone pay attention to anyone’s tweets? The pithy is far outweighed by the inane - it’s not worth the trouble to find the pithy, and it’s not worth the trouble to sneer at the half-thoughts.

And on the other hand, why would anyone have enough vanity believe other people were interested in their tweets, or risk saying foolish or hurtful things that can’t be unsaid?

They'll also solve unemployment with one brilliant idea: work camps.
They'll give us public works/infrastructure jobs until the economy picks back up.

Work will make you free.

Hmmm wonder how many abortions she’s had. They get crazy and nonsensical when trying to defend something they have done that they know is horrible.

Ya hafta wonder why these leftists care more about animal “rights” than about little-human rights.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
