View MoreTrue to their legacy of dehumanizing certain persons, just as the anti-Christ DEMS dehumanized blacks to justify slavery and segregation so they continue to dehumanize persons who are unborn simply because of their location and development. The authors of this particular piece do well in pointing out the hypocrisy of the abortion movement by stating in the latter part of their piece: "Those who decry the evils of a culture of a previous generation for denying personhood to humans due to skin color, deny personhood to humans based on their size (too small). Level of development (not as developed as, say, a 1-year-old, for example). Environment (where they live). Degree of dependency (cannot fend for themselves). How is this criteria today any different than the skin color test of the southern slave states in the past? Which human is a "person" with Constitutional rights, and which human is not a person?... This attitude is rife today, blatantly seen in the modern ruling class elite. On the one hand they are horrified that Mark Twain used the "N" word in his book, even though he was using it to show the wrong-headed attitude of the Southern States at the time and exposing their arbitrary definition of blacks as property instead of persons. These same people lack a historical understanding of the American Constitution, and because they lack historical understanding, they are "offended" by imagining that the US Constitution, our founding document, legitimizes something (the inferiority of blacks) which it does not legitimize. But even if it did mean that our founding documents indicated that the founding fathers believed black people were not persons, or less than persons, why should they, of all people, be offended? They are obviously using "differing weights" (Deuteronomy 25:13), holding a different set of standards for themselves and others. While they look down their noses at people in the past who wrongly did not see black people as persons, they, too, define certain humans as non-persons but instead as property today. Their criteria is geographical. A human in the womb is property in their eyes, and can be kept or disposed of as the owner sees fit. Once the human makes a few-inch geographical transition through the magical birth canal, voila, it is now a person and has legal protections." Those very same people who dare accuse Israel of genocide and decry the lives of children being extinguished in that war demand the right to murder children in the womb regarding them as less human than Palestinian children. https://midwestoutreach.org/2025/10/16/mark-twain-and-the-constitution-politically-incorrect-2/
