Some actors and actressss would do best to live by the saying," Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt."

I would like to say she is rich and doesn't live in the same world that some of us live in, but her thoughts on abortion shouldn't be so far off the wall in the way they are just because of a little wealth.

In fairness, I believe she was saying fetuses were not babies or infants. Not that babies or infants were not "persons."

“News flash...a fetus cannot talk,” Barkin tweeted. “It is not a person. Not even a baby, not even an infant. Nope. Sorry.”


Admittedly, I cant see the photoed tweets on the page because they are blocked, but I infer that she is saying that a fetus is not a baby, nor is it an infant. I don't think she is saying that a baby or an infant isn't a person

I've really never understood the fervent campaigns to kill an unborn, living human being.

While this is an incredibly stupid argument, EVERYONE who is pro-choice believes some form of it. Not necessarily that ability to talk differentiates person from non-person, but that infants and fetuses are not people for some other reason.

You cannot be pro choice unless you believe that a baby in the womb is not a person.

I can think of one other time in American History when a certain policy was defended on the grounds that the "subjects" it hurt were not people. Actually, fetuses aren't even considered 3/5th of a person...

Not what she said...but putting that aside, what is this emblematic of? She's just some woman who plays dress up...she's not even famous anymore (not that it would even matter. Why do you care what actors think?

A fetus has a heart beat though. And so does a baby, infant, toddler, and unfortunately adults like her.

I really don't pay any attention to what old white Hollywood ladies say.

Do I need to do a word by word comparison for ya farva? Maybe you can start by telling us where the word 'because' is in the twitter post you illiterate numb nutz. Read the comments further up if you still don't get it.

Did you read the tweet? No. And your statement is as stupid as the imagined statement by Barkin.

Sure you can. Rothbard's evictionist position is an example.

I volunteer my Sundays at an organization called Miracle League. We allow special needs kids to get on the baseball field and play around. Many of the kids are severely physically handicapped to the point where they can't even open their mouths. I don't think they, nor their parents, would appreciate you arguing that they are not a person.
