@realfmerriman @MelissaSebree @KristanHawkins You are a very dark person.

@MelissaSebree @KristanHawkins So you want women to suffer for 26 weeks. What happens if a woman codes at week 20? Would you be like Hawkins and go for the twofer?

If your views on abortion have changed from pro-choice to pro-life, what caused the shift?

@MelissaSebree @KristanHawkins So sorry for your loss. That must’ve been devastating. Thank you for sharing your story.

I used to believe it wasn't my business. Then when I was pregnant with my first I had to have have ultrasounds done all the time because I was high risk and even at 8wks I could see a little baby moving around in there. Then that little baby was sucking his thumb at 12wks, hiccupping at 15wks and when he was born early at 26wks he was an entire person. He only weighed a little over 1lb but he was a living baby. He only lived three days but he was a person. We do not have the right to kill a person even if that person is a tiny human in our bellies.

@AnishaB95757 @KristanHawkins Thank you for sharing this. So few are willing to actually see truth.

1) Hearing the other side. Sounds silly, but when you’ve been echo-chambered into a pro-abortion school system & media sphere since birth, you’re literally shielded from any and all pro-life arguments. Once I started watching debates, it was painfully obvious that pretty much all pro-choice arguments easily fall apart 2) Meeting pro-choice activists. When I started going to abortion marches & protests + following pro-abortion social media accounts, everyone was so ugly & mean & miserable. I didn’t know if that was the company I wanted to be in 3) Spending more time with pregnant loved ones & their babies. Up until then, babies & fetuses were as good as imaginary to me. It’s something else to feel a kick, see an ultrasound, and ultimately hold a baby in your arms 4) Being childless during my child rearing years. Feminism had a stronghold on us Millennials lol & I fell for a lot of the lies as teens. Feeling your own biological ache for children changes your perspective on so many things, especially abortion 6) Being told my younger sibling was aborted for convenience simply because my parents just had their 2nd child and didn’t want a 3rd (I’m the 2nd) 7) Coming to Christ. ✝️ Before I knew God’s love, I truly believed a young life was better off dead than alive & suffering (I had my own trauma to heal from). I now understand how precious all life is in a way I never did before Hope this helps, Kristen 💕 I am very passionately pro-life and you personally are a huge reason why. I’m so grateful & appreciative of the work you do 🙏 Keeping changing minds and hearts 💞

@DrCarlHindy @sandyrose9720 @KristanHawkins You cannot have it both ways.

@sandyrose9720 @KristanHawkins I agree with you. I want to minimize abortions. History and data show that outlawing abortion does not solve it. I seek solutions, not social media approval.

@DrCarlHindy @lmmjj2 @KristanHawkins You don’t think anyone wants abortion? You’re simply not paying attention. You are either a very naive person or a blatant liar.

Are there people who are “pro abortion”? I don’t think anyone wants abortion. But to reduce it requires us to go with the evidence of empowering and supporting women’s ability to make choices. Outlawing abortion is a fail. It does not reduce abortions, increases unsafe abortion, creates more medical risks, and perpetuates the problem. Some people want to scream that they’re “against abortion” without thinking about ways to actually address the problem. That is political signaling, tribalism, not helping.

@HomeintheUS @jonathanwsabin @katewerk @walterkirn This.

@jonathanwsabin @katewerk @walterkirn Not making excuses-but, J.D. was one person. With Trump weren’t there three to get out?

So what's being spread here is the notion that security around Trump is weak and more assaults are inevitable. Lax security was also a theme in the attacker character's writings. This is as dangerous as it gets. I fear we are being prepared for something awful.

Retweet if you’d like to see @JimmyKimmelLive fired. @ABC and @Disney are tagged.

Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans. Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable. Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale. Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné. Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut. À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol. Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée. Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit. Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie. Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle. Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère. Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision : "La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne) "La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek "Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

@ajzeigler I’m sure some of your other devotees would appreciate guidance in this area. I just go to Libby and scroll.

@ajzeigler Have you considered posting a reading list? Books that would be enjoyed by adults. I’ve read To Kill a Mockingbird many times over and would love to find some other gems. Loved the Gabaldon books. Capote is a favorite. I didn’t go to college so I feel I missed out on a lot.

@ajzeigler My children grew up in the aughts and I remember being shocked that they had no idea who Cyrano de Bergerac was. We grew up in the 60’s-70’s and I recall knowing the story well from the time I was quite young. No memory of learning, just knowing. What happened? 🤷‍♀️

@Holden114 @ajzeigler

They keep having to delay programming on right-wing fascism because of left-wing violence.

@kenklippenstein @NickJFreitas This might help-are you familiar with schizophrenia? We have here a prime example. Textbook even.

@NickJFreitas I quote it at length in the article you’re replying to

To figure out why Cole Allen did what he did, I obtained a copy of his resume and talked to his former friends. The portrait that emerges is unlike what the White House is saying: kenklippenstein.com/p/assassin-was…

@bungarsargon @ajzeigler And yes, of course I’m aware of Trump’s behavior.

@bungarsargon @ajzeigler I can’t think of a worse example of a man having “a low level of contempt for a woman (his own wife!) or an allergy to facts” than having an affair with his best friend’s wife. Shame that young people will take his example and assume it’s normal… Best to take a seat, Jenn.

For generations women fought to be not "women journalists" but just journalists. Now the First Lady of California would like us to be treated with the delicacy imposed on our grandmothers, so that we may smear the President of the United States to his face with impunity. Quaint!

One side of the political spectrum keeps trying to kill the other side. One side celebrates murdering babies, selling their body parts, and chopping off kids genitals. One side continuously releases violent repeat criminals that are preying on our women and children, while lying and saying that they support women. One side wants dudes to compete against our girls in sports, and force our girls to change with them in the locker room. One side willingly invites criminals and miscreants from the third world to live among us with impunity, even going as far as to protest when sex offenders are shipped back home. One side gleefully riots and burns down cities when they don’t get their way. This isn’t hyperbole. The Democratic Party is a party of depravity.

@NickChaps96 The next big family meeting should be an intervention.

This is an insane amount of planning for a Disney vacation. War plans aren’t drawn up as much as this. 😆 🎥 LathamFamDamily #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZP8gnojfr/

@TRHLofficial I haven’t quite figured out how to put this eloquently into words just yet, but synchronized swimming is proof women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

I don’t even know what to say anymore watching this make the rounds. 4.6 million views. Hundreds of thousands of likes. For mocking a woman who just walked out shaken after what happened last night. And what gets me isn’t just the strangers. I’m seeing people I’ve known for years jump on this train of hating Erika like it’s normal. Like it’s deserved. For what? Charlie was building something powerful. And he’s gone. Taken by someone who had the same kind of mindset we just saw play out again. And now his wife is being escorted out in the middle of all of this, clearly shaken, and instead of any level of decency, the internet turns it into a joke. Make that make sense. All of this anger, all of this energy, and it’s being aimed at the wrong person. Not at the people who create this kind of chaos. Not at the ones who actually push things to that level. It gets dumped on the easiest target… the one who’s already carrying more than most people could handle. I’m tired of it. Erika doesn’t deserve this. Nobody does. 😭

@TracieDugas6869 @TeriChristoph @NickJFreitas @kenklippenstein @notus And whoever they are. Their account has been suspended.

@TeriChristoph @NickJFreitas @kenklippenstein @notus Sorry, but, who’s NOTUS? I’ve never head that term before🤷🏻‍♀️
