Leftist bill themselves as science-based in their thinking. It’s a convenient pose they’re willing to scrap when it gets in the way, though, as Melissa Harris-Perry proves. In a segment on — not making this up — the royal baby, Harris-Perry lays out when she believes that life begins.
“When does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling – but not science,” Harris-Perry said on her show Sunday. “The problem is that many of our policymakers want to base sweeping laws on those feelings.”
That’s some dangerous thinking, opening the door even further to infanticide. But it’s typical of a political philosophy that rejects facts in favor of feelings. It is odd, though, considering that Harris-Perry is on the record stating that parents do not have any rights over their own children. In Harris-Perry’s world, parents determine when life begins but then have no inherent right to direct how that child is raised. You can birth ‘em, but the state will raise ‘em.
Harris-Perry has her facts regarding new abortion-related laws backwards. The pro-life side is basing new laws regarding both health standards at clinics and the timelines when abortions are allowed on science. Better standards lead to protecting women. Technology has shown that babies in utero feel pain, and has moved the point of viability farther forward with each passing year.
I’m obviously not going to sit here and argue with someone who thinks it’s appropriate to wear tampons as earrings on a network broadcast. Harris-Perry’s mind is made up. Fortunately most Americans are tuning her out and see reason: The country becomes a bit more pro-life as technology and science improve our understanding of how we were all fearfully and wonderfully made.
OK, Global Warming is when citizens say it happens, not science.
So the age old parental saying “I brought you into this world and I can take you out” might actually be ok?
More diarrhea of the mouth from this twit.
I’m feeling that Perry is an idiot. Not based on science of course but I have a feeling I’m right.
So, when does murder begin? Shall I maintain it happens in the mind of the killer when that killer says it begins?
Wait, is this a new way to define what George did for the Martin family who made millions off of the late term abortion of their unwanted child? ... So why are the black abortion supporters protesting and hatin’ on George Zimmerman?
She believes in infanticide and other forms of euthanasia. That is really all there is to it.
If a baby is left on her doorstep, she would argue that you have no moral obligation to oben the door.
So science determines climate change, but not life. She’s a pathetic Marxist hack undeserving time on cable tv.
People pay thousands of dollars, go into debt, mortgage their homes, for idiots like this woman to indoctrinate their kids. Academia in 21st C America has a great racket going.
The pro-lifer reads the scientific truth that life begins when the sperm enters the egg.
And, the neo-marxist makes up a time based on her "feelings."
How's come all the commie-libs are so against scientific facts?
You’d think even MSNBC woulda had her ditch those Poonton earrings...
I take your point and it's a good one. But the ironic reality is that Global Warming is happening through the "consensus" of a particular political/junk science elite and real science has been tossed into the trash can.
I wouldn’t expect a person with an I.Q. of around cool room temperature to rely on anything other than a “powerful feeling” to determine much of anything. Science, reason, logic, those things are sort of difficult for the intellectually limited.
BO’s presidency ends when citizens say so. Today!
Which of course confirms George Zimmerman’s innocence. Thanks Melissa!
“On her MSNBC show Sunday morning, Melissa Harris-Perry called attention to recently passed abortion regulations in Texas with a pair of tampon earrings.”
During a second special session of the Texas legislature — after a successful filibuster by state Sen. Wendy Davis blocked the bill in the first — security cracked down on demonstrators, banning tampons and maxi-pads from the rotunda for fear that the feminine products would be thrown at lawmakers passing the controversial bill.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) inspected all bags and reportedly confiscated all paper goods including magazines and receipts, and glitter and confetti in addition to the feminine hygiene products.
There was immediate backlash on Twitter, referring to the confiscations as “Tampongate.”
