The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision will be overturned in time because it makes a critical error: it interprets the Constitution as conferring rights to the people (see screenshot) rather than conferring powers to the government. 1/x
The cell that is continuous thru & is fertilized at "conception" was already there & has its own, decades-long developmental history. If a person's life history includes that cell, than their life began long before "conception," & you were perfectly fine with killing it then.
This is poignant. It's exactly how I felt 2 years ago. This morning I'm hopeful while Sean despairs. It's the sentiment of all of us at some given point on this merry-go-round, but it illustrates how we all really want the same thing, we just disagree how to get there.
I don't really know what to say tonight.
I've spent the evening watching these returns, trying to find something encouraging to tell you. I don't have it.
Tonight feels like we lost everything.
I'm watching Colorado and wondering how much conservative representation we'll have left when the counting is finished. I'm watching the country and thinking about what the next two years could bring.
And I feel pretty damn alone.
I know some of you are sitting there feeling the same way.
You voted. You donated money you could have used somewhere else. You knocked doors after work. You put a sign in your yard and took the criticism that came with it. You had uncomfortable conversations with friends and family because you believed this mattered.
Now you're looking at the screen and wondering whether any of it made a difference.
I understand. I'm asking myself some hard questions tonight, too.
Did I do enough? Should I have tried harder? What did I miss? How do we even begin again?
I don't have those answers tonight.
I'm a fifth generation Coloradan. My children are the sixth. My grandchildren are the seventh. When I talk about the future of this state, I have their faces in my head.
I want them to have room to build a life. To own something. To speak freely. To work hard and keep enough of what they earn to get somewhere. To raise their children without asking government for permission at every turn.
Whether you drive a trash truck before daylight, wait tables until closing, run a business or spent a lifetime building enough to retire, you deserve a government that respects what it took to get you through that day.
That's what I've been fighting for.
And tonight, I'm scared we're leaving our children a country where they will work harder, own less and answer to government more.
I'm also angry with our own party.
We cannot keep asking working people to sacrifice while protecting leaders who deliver defeat and then explain why none of it was their fault.
There will have to be an honest reckoning. With our leadership, our candidates, our message and our record. Nobody should be exempt because of their title or their following.
But tonight, I keep thinking about the people who gave everything they could and still went to bed feeling like they failed.
Please hear me. I need to hear it myself.
We cannot put the entire weight of this election on our own shoulders.
We also cannot promise ourselves that 2028 will fix it. We will have to earn back trust, one conversation and one community at a time. I don't yet know what all of that looks like.
I know I still care enough to find out.
I wish I had something stronger to give you tonight than the truth about how defeated I feel. But I won't hand you a campaign slogan and pretend it makes this hurt less.
If you're sitting there wondering whether anybody still believes what you believe, I do.
If you're worried about the country your children will inherit, so am I.
And if you don't know how to start again tomorrow, neither do I.
Come tomorrow, we'll start by finding each other.
I'm still here.

"An unfertilized egg doesn't die in the sense of having its life taken from it because it's not living like a human zygote is."
I am amazed you even said this in the same tweet you're challenging my intelligence. It has absolutely no scientific basis. None.

They fight so vehemently for cellular human life while dismissing the same cell as killable trash before sex, in fact encouraging it's death.
Sex does not create cellular developing humans, they're already there and antis are perfectly fine with killing them then
Biologically, fertilization does not change the parent-child relationship that the egg already has to mom. I guess that means your a mom even when you're stil justl a fetus yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Replying to @AbortionChat
Biologically, one does become a parent at their child's conception. Just saying "bahahah no" does not negate this biological fact.
Aside from this Plan B error, Human life does not "begin" at fertilization.
It isnt reasonable to conclude a cell becomes a human individual only after a particular cellular event when embryology itself shows us the cell that goes thru the event has its own, extensive,...

A person assaulting a pregnant woman and deliberately causing the death of her unborn child is still an assault on the pregnant woman. It is logical that the perpetrator is charged with an assault crime
Abstinence is a deliberate act to deny gestational service to a developing human, just like abortion. It is not logical to call one denial "murder" while encouraging another that produces the exact same deliberate intention and result.
Your reminder that sex does not create developing humans. Embryology itself shows us that human development begins long before fertilization, and anti aborts are perfectly fine with "killing" their own developing "babies" then
Now you're just being a biology denier, Doc. Thank you for scrambling to defend your paradigm so carelessly that I can turn anti abort talking points on you.
Cardiocytes, neurons, and neutrophils are somatic cells that serve a somatic function to the individual. They cannot...
Replying to @realbuffhole
Gametes are not organisms, are not our children any more than our cardiocytes, neurons, or neutrophils. They are specialized body cells at the end of the development cycle.
...your developing children. You cannot make a zygote from any other cell.
The Gilbert chapter you linked for me was a discussion about when the developing individual becomes a human in a moral sense, and he pointed out that scientists are not in agreement on that topic. What...
The human lifecycle actually begins decades before fertilization, anti aborts just don't want to admit that bcuz it blows up their paradigm.
It is unreasonable to conclude a cell suddenly becomes an individual only after a particular cellular event when embryology itself...
...biological lifecycle begins with oogenesis. And anti aborts are perfectly fine with "killing" innocent developing humans then.
It is also not logical, and downright hypocritical, to call a denial of life saving service "murder" while denying and encouraging the same denial...
Abstinence and birth control are an active decision that the developing human does not get to live, and anti aborts make that decision all the time. In fact, they encourage it.
It is not logical to condemn a denial of life saving service in one case while intentionally..
Replying to @LyssAnthrope
Involuntary doesn't mean what you think it means; actions have consequences. If you chose to have sex, you assume the risk of a pregnancy. And I could also counter it's not your decision whether the fetus gets to live or not.
