You know, only nutty liberals could want to assign human rights to sea mammals yet deny them to humans in the womb.
Whales get “whale rights”.
Dolphins get “dolphin rights”.
Humans get “human rights”.
Is this really so hard?
LIBs are insane. A whale deserves whale rights. The right to swim aimlessly, the right to defecate in our pristine oceans, the right to spray water out of their blow-hole and the right to sound-pollute the oceans with their incessant deep-frequency noises. That’s it.
LOL
They aren’t very expert regarding the law.
Human rights are not granted based upon intelligence. (If they were, over half the Democrats would be deprived of theirs.)
Humans have a unique ability aside from the animal domain, to identify righteousness and unrighteousness.
When my dog is fed dinner, he might sniff to inquire if it smells and tastes good, but he isn’t inquiring if I’ve righteously thought through how to handle his care.
God made man in His image. There are unique discerning features of man with body, soul, and spirit, discernible from other members of the animal kingdom.
I could get behind that.
