@urihoresh Don’t know you but I’m a fellow academic in Montreal, I’m so sorry that you are yet another victim of this nightmare. I wish you well. Stay strong, your convictions are your own and you are the one who has to live with your conscience.

@foreverspin Still waiting for my last order. The original package was detained by Canada Post and sent to their "secure location" and destroyed due to " leaking". As requested by FS I submitted an affidavit for them to make a claim back in Jan. Have had no replies to emails or calls since.

They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn." Dave Barnhart. 6/6

They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? 5/6

You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone 4/

they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. 3/

unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; 2/

[Jacqueline Peters @onyxP]

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; 1/

Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come in rejecting violence and intolerance toward the #LGBTQ2 community in Canada, but also how much further we still must go. One way you can help is by using non-stigmatizing terminology. https://t.co/cL57CxgcZ5

@WFarahslt I thought I’d missed something, but it was the teacher who had missed something.
