What are you up to, tonight, Katy? Nothing much, just attending the @WomensLibFront event, shrouded by police b/c of protesters & bomb threat- because these rad fems have the audacity to say “men can’t become women.” #Newmisogyny
Several disruptive protesters, shouting, w bull horns, already removed by police.
I disagree w these women on numerous issues. But they are taking heat b/c they think there should be no bio males in rape shelters, on girls sports teams and in locker rooms despite being escorted in a separate door by police. Grateful for their courage.
Pitching their sob story to a variety of outlets. Beware when stories frame adults who do not get what they want as victims. As always the *children* are the true victims. A few things to note here: 🧵 nypost.com/2025/03/02/wor…
The UK allows altruistic surrogacy, which means women can be reimbursed (often significantly) for "pregnancy expenses" and yet, no woman wanted to be their surrogate… Red flag anyone? So they hired a surrogate abroad. Unlike adoption, there's no screening/background checks.
“The children aren’t able to meet their grandparents.”
OH, I SEE! It's important that the children meet the unrelated parents of the men who purchased them, but not their own biological mother?? Manipulation at its finest.
Everywhere gay marriage goes, children's rights to their bio parents are weakened/obliterated. No country has legalized SS marriage AND strengthened children's relationship to their mother & father. Child rights & gay marriage are incompatible. thembeforeus.com/marriage-marri…
That's exactly what happened in the United States. Once we made husbands and wives optional in marriage, mothers and fathers have become optional in parenthood laws in state after state after state. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltwa…
Natural reproduction sets limits on the age of motherhood. That benefits children who are more likely to have parental support through their young adulthood, and less likely to care for disabled/geriatric parents.
Surrogacy awards infants to grandparent-aged adults.
One year after she was heralded as the "world's oldest new mother" (age 66) this woman died, leaving her twins not only fatherless, but motherless. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
I bristle slightly (ok, I bristle a lot) when conversations about fighting the #RespectForMarriageAct revolve around #religiousliberty issues. Why? Because what both our foes and our allies hear from religious Americans is, “If gay marriage passes, it will be bad for *me.*”
To which the world responds, “So the prob w gay marriage is, you might have to...bake a cake?? Deal with it, bigot.”
No one's interested in fighting SS marriage (or the myriad other ways the Left is redefining family) if it’s just about minimizing discomfort of religious adults.
But that's how all these conversations come across. Not exactly the approach that will fortify wobbly-kneed Senators or citizens to stand against a cultural onslaught.
Instead, we must forcefully highlight the child-harms of marriage redefinition.
The lives of these children are precious. But make no mistake, in their quest to “become parents”Buttigieg & Chasten have violated the rights of these two children. They have denied these twins not just one mother, but three. 1/4
These babies have been forced to lose their genetic mother, the egg “donor.” Thus these kids (like many other donor children) may experience identity struggles. They will likely seek her out to discover their medical history and behold the woman who reflects their features. 2/4
These children have lost a relationship with their birth mother, the surrogate, inflicting a #primalwound. Many children adopted at birth argue that this separation resulted in difficulty trusting and attaching throughout life. 3/4
My high schooler is explaining her support for #traditionalmarriage to a friend and we drafted a child-centric outline for her case. Here’s it is:
1. Children have a natural right to their mother/father. Adults care which baby they leave the hospital with- they don’t want just any baby. They want *their* baby because biology matters to parents. It matter to kids too.
2. Marriage unites the 2 people to whom children have a natural right and the 2 people statistically most likely to provide love/safety to kids & the relationship which guarantees a perfect gender balance in the home- moms/dads offer distinct/complimentary benefits to kids.
