I help pro-lifers to be more persuasive and less weird when they communicate with pro-choice people. President of @EqualRightsInst. My opinions are my own.
Please never normalize the fact that over 24 hours later, we still don't know anything about the ICE agents who killed Alex Pretti. No names. No details. Because they are masked, anonymous, and being protected by the state.
If true, this is heinous and illegal. You do not kill helpless survivors of a sinking boat. (It enraged us when, for example, the Japanese would machine-gun American survivors in the water.)
You do not kill someone who is hors de combat, and no quarter orders are flatly illegal.
In real conversations, speakers who frequently spout anger, contempt, insults, and obscenity are shunned. On Twitter, they are amplified. Twitter is not a public conversation, it’s a public coliseum. @elonmusk, please rethink the social incentives.
Imagine the horror of all humans being legally recognized as persons!!! That may mean we can't discriminate against humans based on their age, ability, level of development, or location. It means we will have to respect the dignity of all humans. Truly shocking.
I few thoughts on the media and abortion industry using the case of a 10 year old rape survivor for their agenda.
1) The debate regarding whether or not abortion should be permissible in the case of rape is necessary.
2) Any discussion around it needs nuance & compassion.

I’m pro-life, but tweets like this are SO unhelpful. Lots of women have abortions who are in committed relationships. A small percentage have abortions because of rape. Tweets like this just add more division to a society that is already too divided.
