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.

She's afflicted with a virus.

[sappy]

this is what happens one an ideology takes over the ability to critically think.

So her 4-5 abortions were not really killing. If that what gets you through the night Ellen.

Pray America is waking

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

Yep, started to post that, figured somebody had beaten me to it, was right.

[wastoute]

Following this logic libtards aren’t people because they don’t make sense when they DO talk...

[Donkey Odious]

I sometimes call one of my dogs Ellen.....because she is always barkin’......

[Starstruck]

Yep, started to post that, figured somebody had beaten me to it, was right.

I try to grab all the low hanging fruit.

Does anybody really care what this aging hosebeast thinks?

[longfellow]

Guess that heart beat means nothing.

[longfellow]

I never knew this guy was British. You can’t tell from his accent.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So if someone tapes her mouth so she can’t talk, she’s not a person?

What a genius.

[jyro]

put a piece of tape over her mouth and call her a non-human.

[all the best]

So what about all those people - most of Hollywood - who talk but don’t really say anything?

[Politicalkiddo]

I’m pretty sure the “fetuses” fit the scientific criteria for being alive. Although, what do I know? I’m just someone who took basic Biology. My facts obviously cannot compete with the opinion of an actress from Hollywood.

[RipSawyer]

“Rich doesn’t matter.”

Not where stupid is concerned but it would certainly matter if I woke up that way tomorrow.

[ealgeone]

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

love it! great point.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If the ability to talk intelligently is a requirement for personhood, then Barkin had better be careful that someone doesn’t try to abort her today.

[Little Ray]

Well, I’d say Ellen Barkin is not a human because she can’t think.
But that is asking to much of commie pinkos, I guess.

[mjp]

a fetuses, babies and infants are not “persons” because they “cannot talk.”

That is an improper definition of a "person" because it is subjective, arbitrary, and is not based on an essential distinguishing characteristic or a conceptual common denominator.

[Pollster1]

Helen Keller - not a person in the eyes of liberals like Ellen Barkin.

Stephen Hawkings - no longer a person to this actress, so he's ready for euthanasia.

I could go on, but why bother. Liberals would happily murder everyone who doesn't meet the standards for their eugenics, along with a million inconvenient babies a year, my imperfect brother, my imperfect son, and adults who disagree with them politically. They're even proud of it, since those innocents whom they kill (and those they would like to kill) generate the "pollutant" CO2.
