@AbbyJohnson And if you have to block me, then you’ve lost the argument. I said it’s okay to kill innocent human beings in certain circumstances, like abortion.

@AbbyJohnson Stop calling abortion murder. Removing from your body an unwanted fetus whom you owed no duty to when it did not exist in the first place is not murder. Stop calling accidental conception a right to life. You do not have a right to continue existing at the use of another’s body.

Stop calling abortion healthcare. Murder is not healthcare. Stop calling abortion a right. You do not have a right to murder another human being. Stop saying abortion is part of bodily autonomy. Autonomy does not include ending the life of another person. Abortion is murder.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson That’s not what homicide means. Homicide means human killing human, regardless of state of mind or innocence. Homicide isn’t always wrong

@RoryLS @AbbyJohnson It is homicide, since it is the intentional killing of an innocent human being. That is unquestionably objectively true, and your opinion to the contrary doesn’t matter.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson I disagree that it’s always wrong to intentionally kill innocent human beings. If you’re mercy killing someone who wants to die, they’re still innocent. Abortion is another exception,

@RoryLS @AbbyJohnson No, the higher priority is the premise that it’s wrong to intentionally kill innocent human beings. If you violate that, you take away every right they have or ever would have had, including bodily autonomy. It doesn’t work that way in reverse.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson Yes. But I don’t consider abortion murder. I think you’re framing the question the wrong way. If I were stranded on an island with one other person, there was no food or animal, it doesn’t make sense to charge the other person for killing me so they can eat,

@RoryLS @AbbyJohnson If someone murdered you, should they be arrested and charged?

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson That premise isn’t required. The only premise required is that you do not have a right to occupy another person’s body, even if it was not your fault. That holds true regardless of age, but it only comes up in the fetal years.

@RoryLS @AbbyJohnson I don’t accept the ageist premise that a human being’s life loses value before a certain age.

@MattShea Cue all the haters — “Why is he stealing the baby from his mother and acting like HE was the one who gave birth!? Stop using your baby as a PROP for photos!”

I'm letting my newborn son keep his ENTIRE penis 🥰

Katy Faust and her group have been recently targeting gay fathers. They've reposted pictures of gay fathers with children received via surrogacy while implying that they are "buying" infants for selfish desires.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson And if you reject the premise that a human life has more value than an animal life, and you accept it’s okay to kill animals for food, then it logically follows you’d be okay with killing a fetus to stop a pregnancy.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson So what? I reject the premise that a human being has more inherent value than an animal.

Most people don’t hate trans people. You hate radical progressive gender ideology. If we give you a moderate option, you will take it.

@tmccartyreleng @AbbyJohnson Animals are innocent too, but their deaths are the byproduct of our desire to eat meat. And fetal deaths are byproducts of the desire to end pregnancy. And you’ve eaten far more animals than one woman has had abortions. It’s death of innocents that we accept,

@RoryLS @AbbyJohnson A right to autonomy does not include a right to intentionally kill an innocent human being.

@jasonrantz She’s chasing out the wrong people. She should be chasing out the homeless people and drug addicts who don’t pay anything into the tax revenue.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson laughs off angry millionaires being targeted by a new income tax, telling them "bye.' But it's worth asking a simple question: who will she tax if the millionaires leave? The answer? The people in the crowd who are cheering her on.

@TomsTidbits @chadfelixg And just because something isn’t ideal or optimal (even if I conceded that two parent hetero families are a tie breaker all things being equal) doesn’t mean it’s “abusive.”

@RoryLS @chadfelixg I disagree with your last point. Just because something is common and normal does not make it OK.

Child abuse is already illegal. Attempting to ban gay adoption or surrogacy to prevent child abuse is like attempting to ban guns to prevent school shootings.

@PNWConservative Yeah, she needs the money for a hair transplant!

Give me your money, Seattle!

@PeakSeattle Which parent did she inherit the bald head from?

It must be nice for Katie Wilson to have parents who pay for her childcare. Especially considering her husband doesn't even work. Apparently, she believes everyone else should enjoy the same kind of privilege and have someone else pay to raise their kids. She is proposing to more than DOUBLE Seattle's "Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise" (FEPP) levy from what it was just six years ago, when voters last approved it. Back then it was $619 million. Now, it's going to be $1.3 billion. How does that affect you, you wonder? "The levy is expected to draw funding through increased property taxes. Based on Seattle’s average home price of $872,000, the levy would add roughly $600 annually in property taxes." So $300 per year will now be $600+ for the average homeowner. It sounds like we'll be voting on this in November. Just watch. They'll call it a "renewal," even though it's being doubled. Need I remind you that just two weeks ago, Katie also declared we must double the seven year library levy? That will be on the August 4th primary ballot, and will likely pass as well. Citizens overwhelmingly support libraries, despite the fact that we now have this thing called the internet, and our libraries have become de facto homeless shelters. But remember, a lot of people are out of town in the summer and otherwise not paying attention. So if our side shows up in force, maybe we'll get lucky and vote it down. Hey, a boy can dream, right? I'm pretty sure that the population of our city hasn't doubled in the last six years. But we went with the socialist, so here we are. Although to be fair, former mayor Bruce Harrell doubled the size of the transportation levy, which also gets voted on every six years. Of course, today's Democrat party is basically socialist anyway, so thats not a surprise. So here we are, in a seemingly inexorable march towards socialism, at least here in Washington. Remember those old tug-at-you-heartstrings appeals you'd see on TV for starving children in Africa? In Seattle the tagline would be something like, "Imagine, for the price of a (very cheap) cup of coffee a day, you can help your government raise other people's children." The thing is, the people who voted for Katie Wilson are overwhelmingly renters, most of whom have no children. And now they're going to be paying for new programs for other people's children. Yet they voted for Katie, because she told them she would somehow make things more affordable for them. But I suppose I shouldn't be too bitter towards them. Many moons ago, I was a renter. Like them, I didn't really think about how my landlord would pass on new taxes to me. I just blithely thought, "This this new proposal sounds nice and liberal. I'll support it." And that was the end of it. And now I'm at the point where I reflexively vote no on every tax increase, even when it might be something I support. Put a "for jails only" tax increase on the ballot and maybe I'll rethink that. Just remember this, dear renters. When your landlord raises the rent on you to make up the difference with Katie's new education levy, library levy, and everything else we have yet to hear about, don't blame your landlord. Don't blame "NIMBY" homeowners. Don't blame the corporations. Don't blame the millionaires who are fleeing our state as we speak. Don't blame Orange Man Bad. Don't blame republicans, who've been out of power here for four decades. Don't blame cApItAlIsM. In fact, don't even blame our local leaders. Blame yourselves. You did this. You voted for it. tinyurl.com/2eanwskk

@DanniBrener @chadfelixg @TomsTidbits @SurrogConcern @StopSurrogacy It’s not human trafficking. It doesn’t involve forced or coerced or tricked labor or commercial sex acts.

You are incorrect. @SurrogConcern @StopSurrogacy It’s not based on “who will raise the child,” nor did I say it was. You cannot consent to human trafficking. If it isn’t about human trafficking, ban all monetary compensation for surrogacy and come back and tell us how frequently it occurs.

@TomsTidbits @chadfelixg Not really. Most couples that use surrogates are straight. A kid not being raised by both mother and father is too common and normal for it to be abuse.

Except that one argument is that depriving children of a father and mother is itself abuse. The intentional and premeditated separation of children from their parents, which is what surrogacy is, is also clearly abuse. There is never any reason for surrogacy; and adoption has its issues as well, even while it is also sometimes the best choice.

@PNWConservative It’s so people like this can be supported. There’s too many of THESE kinds of people in Washington.

It’s coming. And they will just laugh at you.

@CultureCave_ Does this mean he’s really gay?

Stranger Things actor and musician, Joe Keery and Sabrina Carpenter are reportedly dating.

@PNWConservative Once social services start getting too expensive, I think taxpayers have a right to exclude people who don’t pay anything at all, like homeless people and drug addicts

Kommissar Katie Wilson…. “…. Do you deserve to make a million dollars, John?” AWKWARD laugh…… This woman fell down the stupid tree and hit every branch.
