Listen to what they&#8217;re saying. We&#8217;ve seen that when we listen to them, they&#8217;re speaking loudly and they&#8217;re speaking at the ballot box.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>OK &#8211; one life-hardened caucasoid to another, let&#8217;s do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s establish this:  human rights don&#8217;t interfere with other rights.  If something interferes with a human right, it&#8217;s not a right.  An infringement, an entitlement, even a moral duty?  Perhaps.  But rights don&#8217;t interfere with rights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here&#8217;s the question:  at exactly what age did your, little Timmy Walz&#8217;s, right to live supersede Darlene Walz&#8217;s &#8220;right to choose&#8221;?   And why then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At birth?  You were no different at 40 weeks than you were at 36.  So you weren&#8217;t a human at 36 weeks &#8211; 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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t seem logical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You were no different at either of those points than you were at 26 weeks, really &#8211; and today that 26, even 24, week old baby has really good chances of surviving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the options above have scientific and logical issues.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So &#8211; when did you become human?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not some abstract &#8220;clump of cells&#8221; in some generic &#8220;woman&#8221;.  Tim and Darlene Walz.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll save a seat for you on my show Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey, Republicans &#8211; that&#8217;s just a <em>great <\/em>line to take in an election year&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coulda said the same thing about Slavery in the 1860 election, couldn&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To: Governor WalzFrom: Mitch Berg, middle aged obstreporous CaucasianRe: Conversation Governor Klink Walz, Last week, you said that &#8220;old white men need to learn how to talk about abortion&#8220;. &#8220;I think old white men need to learn how to talk about this a little more,&#8221; Walz told CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins. &#8220;And I think the big [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,320,426],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-war","category-mndfl","category-orwell-overestimated-democrats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87204"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87207,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87204\/revisions\/87207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
