Bret Weinstein said something that won’t leave my head: For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding. Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds. Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected. Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think. And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing. Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure? https://x.com/Bitcoin_Teddy/status/2077512782430486720
Legal traditions from hundreds of years ago are apparently vitally important if one wants to ban abortion or strike down restrictions on firearms, but they become barbaric anachronisms the second they diverge from the policy goals of the Republican Party https://t.co/4RtgUxTxdR #LegalTraditions #AbortionBan #RepublicanHypocrisy #US
Nearly 47,000 abortions in six years. That's the population of a large Irish town, gone. https://t.co/RKOEs8K60U #Abortion #Ireland #ReproductiveRights #IE
Abortion “Care.” Orwell would be proud. War is Peace. Slavery is Freedom. Killing babies is “Care.” #ProChoice #AbortionDebate #SpeechFreedom #Nocountrycodesfound.
Colombia’s president-elect Espriella promised to end gay marriage and abortion, build Bukele-like megaprisons, cut government spending by 40%, slash taxes and regulations on trade, production and commerce. Trump would “co-pilot” his government, he said https://t.co/LYWgeglX0u #Colombia #Espriella #Politics #CO #SV #US
In 2018, the people of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Eighth Amendment, giving Irish women and pregnant people the right to autonomy over their bodies. However, the O'Shea report (2023) found that current abortion laws are not meeting the needs of women and pregnant https://t.co/WO8HYG73mh #AbortionRights #IrishWomen #ReproductiveJustice #IE
Sinn Féin’s legislation to remove the mandatory three-day waiting period for abortion care in early pregnancy has passed. This is an important step forward for women’s healthcare and one of the most significant changes since we voted to repeal the 8th amendment. Women, https://t.co/tOjMbqiEzj #AbortionRights #WomensHealth #SinnFein #IE
Finally legislation to get rid of the three day waiting period has passed, despite a majority of Fianna Fáil and a lot of Fine Gael TDs voting against. This "wait" was patronising and dangerous and resulted in some women being forced to travel to Britain to access abortion. https://t.co/7Dk8uTo7jt #AbortionRights #WomensHealth #Legislation #GB
You cant afford a home. You cant afford groceries. You are an adult living in your childhood bedroom. But don’t worry, SF, Mícheal Martin and Simon Harris will provide more abortions. Please sign the petition against the Increased Abortion Bill. https://t.co/NzBhhBUreC #AbortionBill #HousingCrisis #Petition #IE
SF and FF/FG leaders join together to support an increase in abortion when most families are struggling to afford to have children. https://t.co/j9zLub7UVx #AbortionAccess #SupportFamilies #ReproductiveRights #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedintheprovidedtweet.
The birth rate collapsed in Ireland from 77,000 children in 2009 to 54,000 children in 2024. The lack of housing, the cost of living, and the cost of child care are hammering families. What's Sinn Féin's solution? More abortion. https://t.co/K4J1gyt4cV #Ireland #BirthRate #SinnFein #IE
When mothers are finding it impossible to feed their children or heat their homes, SF introduce a bill to provide more abortion. No wonder they are losing their core vote. https://t.co/clAeDPgJMW #Abortion #ChildHunger #PoliticalFailure #N/A
La ministre de la Justice belge, Annelies Verlinden, promeut un débat serein sur une proposition de loi visant à étendre le délai légal pour avorter de 12 à 14 semaines, avec une exception permettant aux victimes de viol d'avorter jusqu'à 18 semaines, mais cette initiative fait face à des critiques sévères de la plateforme Abortion Right, qui la juge insuffisante et problématique. #Avortement #IVG #DélaiLégal
