Re: Conversation
Governor Klink Walz,
Last week, you said that “old white men need to learn how to talk about abortion“.
“I think old white men need to learn how to talk about this a little more,” Walz told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “And I think the big thing is: Listen to women. Listen to what they’re saying. We’ve seen that when we listen to them, they’re speaking loudly and they’re speaking at the ballot box.”
OK – one life-hardened caucasoid to another, let’s do.
So let’s establish this: human rights don’t interfere with other rights. If something interferes with a human right, it’s not a right. An infringement, an entitlement, even a moral duty? Perhaps. But rights don’t interfere with rights.
So here’s the question: at exactly what age did your, little Timmy Walz’s, right to live supersede Darlene Walz’s “right to choose”? And why then?
At birth? You were no different at 40 weeks than you were at 36. So you weren’t a human at 36 weeks – unless you got delivered by caesarean, in which case you were? Babies delivered at 36, even 30, weeks survive routinely and without much drama to become fairly normal children.
Doesn’t seem logical.
You were no different at either of those points than you were at 26 weeks, really – and today that 26, even 24, week old baby has really good chances of surviving.
All of the options above have scientific and logical issues.
So – when did you become human?
Not some abstract “clump of cells” in some generic “woman”. Tim and Darlene Walz.
When?
I’ll save a seat for you on my show Saturday.
“Hey, Republicans – that’s just a great line to take in an election year”.
Coulda said the same thing about Slavery in the 1860 election, couldn’t we?
