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 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
Al Sharpton, Not A Person?
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.
You become a human being when I say you do.
“Barkin has also stated on Twitter that she is an atheist.”

A very rich dog.
So this hollywood fool would murder Helen Keller?
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.
“Soooooooooooooooo .... in your demented mind ... Ellen ... anyone who is ‘mute’, for whatever reason, is not human?!”
Or what about if your asleep?
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?
Rich doesn’t matter.
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.
No mercy from the left until one can beg for it.
Ya hafta wonder why these leftists care more about animal “rights” than about little-human rights.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Scratch a liberal and you can smell a Nazi.
