The tweet explicitly lists ability to talk as a criteria for personhood.

I have read the tweet many times now. Not sure why some of the communists in this thread are saying that revelator twisted what she said.

Whatever she's saying is a pretty poor logical construct either way. She mentions not talking in association with fetuses. Then she mentions babies and infants. I don't think she's saying they aren't people. Who the hell knows?
I guess it's safe to assume she's an idiot, but I wouldn't try to draw any assumptions beyond that.

The tweet is very straightforward and doesn't need any spin except for those who don't like what it says and how it speaks to people who support that side.

Again, the images are hosted somewhere that is blocked from my work server. Can anyone type out the tweets as they are written?
From what was quoted in the article (I quoted it in my earlier post), it seems as if she is saying a fetus can't talk, a fetus is not a person, a fetus is not a baby and a fetus is not an infant.
I'm not saying I agree with her, but it seems like people are getting upset over something the article misinterpreted.

It means that if you want to kill the baby after it's born, it can't cry before you kill it. That would be just plain murder.

A picture of the exact tweet has been posted twice in this very thread already.

"News flash... a fetus cannot talk. It is not a person. Not even a baby, not even an infant. Nope. Sorry."

Honestly reading the quote I'm left with an understanding that she believes infants and babies are not persons either.

But.. Tuba said that's not what she said. So, you know, there's that. Except that's exactly what she said.

I understood that she meant a fetus is not yet an infant or a baby and therefore not a "person".

What are the chances we can appky this "can't talk = non person" standard to eligibility for political office?
Posted on 11/11/14 at 2:26 pm to Al Dante
fetus, baby, infant are stages of life. So just dumbfounded at the point she is trying to make.
Posted on 11/11/14 at 2:29 pm to C
Tuba needs to shut up or we will go vote out some more Democrats

That's what she said, but since she also specifically said a fetus is not a person due to its inability to talk, it can easily be inferred that she also does not believe infants are persons either.
