This article from Elizabeth Spiers in the NYT is true, bats*** lunacy. Let us examine the ways. nytimes.com/2021/12/03/opi…
1. Bearing a child and giving it up for adoption is significantly less difficult, expensive, dangerous and potentially traumatic for the child than, you know, stabbing it in the head and sucking it into a sink.
2. Adoption is often a pretty good thing, as the author acknowledges. But wait...she'll buy it back momentarily.
3. Your birth mom wanted to give birth to you and give you up for adoption, and you benefitted from that. Now you argue that your birth mom is upset she missed years with you. You know what would have stolen all of the years? ALL OF THEM? Killing you in the womb.
4. Both your birth mom and adopted mom are happy with the adoption decision. But you're paternalistic enough to doubt their happiness.
5. You also resent being "used as a political football" because you were adopted. Glad you're here to resent things. You know what would have prevented that? You being aborted.
6. You say that you think abortion is a form of health care. But this entire article is an acknowledgement that abortion takes a life, because you're here to write the article.
7. You say that Maria still feels the pain of adoption and you say that adoption is traumatizing. You know what could be painful for the mother and is certainly both painful, traumatizing and deadly for the child? You guessed it.
8. You say adoption is not an "unalloyed good," that there are no "right or wrong answers." I'm pretty sure I found the wrong answer, though: killing you in the womb.
9. This take that human biology is an imposition is completely pathological. "Forced to give birth" implies that the intervention is the pregnancy rather than the abortion. And the "biological design" by which you become attached to your child is not an evil. This is sick.
10. If you're worried that the biological bond between mother and child will be "taken away" by adoption, I know of something else that will take away that bond. Permanently. It rhymes with shmabortion.
11. Adoption is certainly less traumatic for the child -- remember, the person writing this is a woman who was adopted -- than being killed.
12. She says there's a difference between 40 weeks and 4 weeks, but it is doubtful she would be fine with late term abortion restrictions.

13. BIOLOGICAL BRAINWASHING???!!!! To love your kid????!!!!!
14. More "biological brainwashing" insanity. And you have to love the argument that a mother can't choose to put her child up for adoption because of that biological brainwashing but can choose to kill it.
15. Then she makes the utterly specious argument that pro-lifers ignore the problems of child-rearing. That argument is always idiotic...
...Pro-lifers do care about raising kids. But the argument itself is nonsensical. It is like arguing that we should not ban murder of the homeless unless we also provide them state-subsidized housing. You can argue for the housing, but the ban on murder is non-negotiable.
16. Only Democrats talk about women being "punished" with a child, a la Barack Obama. No pro-lifer talks this way.
17. I can think of a trauma for a child far worse than relinquishment trauma. Can you?

If the defendants in the Arbery case are acquitted, the media will, of course, blame racism. The reality is more complex. The case is about whether the defendants had probable cause to believe Arbery was committing a felony when they tried to effectuate a citizen's arrest.
If they did not, then it's false imprisonment and murder. If they did, it's self-defense. The question arises because Arbery was apparently seen repeatedly on video in a house under construction from which equipment had been stolen.
A police officer testified that he had warned neighbors about Arbery's alleged trespassing. He also testified that he had told the defendants about this -- and that he told the owner of the house to call the defendants if he saw such trespassing occurring.

This, from David Brooks, is wild. Brooks accusing anyone else of being sealed inside a hermetic bubble is incredible stuff. Yes, America's major institutions are dominated by Left-wing thought, or cowards who cave to it.
Also, there are arguments to be made about the scope of freedom and liberty inside a conservative philosophical framework. But I don't know a single conservative -- including NatCons -- who suggests that these factors are irrelevant to the common good, as Brooks seems to suggest.
Most conservatives who call themselves classically liberal do so understanding that cultural institutions under liberalism must be conservative, a la Adams. Conservatives who disagree think that the neutrality of the public square erodes such cultural conservatism beyond repair.

This is absolutely idiotic gobbledygook. Those most worried about inflation are those whose wages have been eaten up by inflation. The rich, who have their money in assets like stocks and real estate, are making bank.

We will fight this authoritarian bullshit. We have already filed a federal lawsuit this morning. dailywire.com/news/breaking-…
This isn't about whether vaccines are good. There is no bigger fan of vaccines than I. This is about whether Americans ought to have liberty, or whether administrative tyranny ought to rule our lives.
This fight on behalf of the liberty of our employees is expensive and time-consuming. We truly need your help. Please become a member at Dailywire.com/subscribe with code DONOTCOMPLY for 25% off.
