Full title: Mother calls for stricter hate speech rules against disabled on Twitter after pro-abortion poster surfaces with photo of her DAUGHTER who suffers rare brain disorder and facial deformities

A North Carolina mom is calling for stricter hate speech rules on Twitter The quest comes after a photo of Natalie Weaver‏'s disabled daughter was used for a pro-abortion poster Her daughter Sophia, nine, suffers from a rare brain disorder, Rett syndrome Twitter at first declined the mother's request to suspend the person's account Following the backlash, the account was suspended and Twitter apologized

A North Carolina mom criticized Twitter and its regulations after she came across a poster promoting abortion with a picture of her severely disabled daughter splashed across it.

Natalie Weaver‏ reported the hateful tweet posted by user @OBSIDIANSMOAK this week.

The reported message first read: 'It is okay to think that every child matters however a lot of them do not hence the amnio test.'

The poster went on to say: '(It) should be a mandatory test and if it proves negative and the woman does not want to abort then all bills accrued after that is on her and the father.'

Photos and copies of twitter messages as well as some more info at the link. So to these fiends, everyone needs to pass a beauty and functionality and IQ test before being allowed to live. Life is precious not because everyone is beautiful, athletic, physically healthy or strong, or highly intelligent. Some people are none of those. Life is precious because it is a gift from God - and only He can take it away*. Why do people want death? The only reason I can think of is they hate the Author of Life.

*(other than deserved legal death penalties.)

For some reason I didn't get the full title posted properly, it's too long for the title spot and I thought I added it afterwards. So, here is the full title:

Enough with trying to control speech by labling it “hate”.

I do think that there are people who hate God, the Author of Life. Their malice --- I don't understand it. I can't grasp it at all.

PS I'm always glad to hear from you, littlejeremiah.I feel moved to say this: Draw nearer to God at all times. All the Saints say He is to be trusted.

My question would be why Twitter didn’t pull the pro-abortion message using the child whose mother did not give permission to use it, sooner?

There are other words the mother could have used.

But it is hateful, nevertheless.

Drawing nearer to God is the only solution, for every ill under the sun.

You mean she should have had an abortion? Or do you mean something else?

I mean the abort crowd always screams about wanting the freedom to choose. This woman made a choice....but had the audacity to choose life.

“The reported message first read: ‘It is okay to think that every child matters however a lot of them do not”

Think that would have ever been said if the pictured child were non-white?

Liberals have already built in their controls via their very definitions.
Liberals say they and they alone are love, tolerance, rational, smart, educated, good.
This makes every other view by definition stupid, crazy, evil, hate.
So liberals have already set the stage to ban every other opinion AS hate speech.

So true, plus when they say “love” they mean “lust” or “hate”, when they say “tolerance” they mean “intolerance”, and so on and so forth.

Oh no, if the child were not white, they wouldn’t have dared to say that, or if the mother was wearing a hijab.
