Michigan Justice May Consider Deeming Animals "Legal Persons"

 

With the recent ascension of Justice Elizabeth Welch, Democrats are now the majority in the Michigan Supreme Court. Welch, a radical leftist activist, campaigned on the promise that she would “Put People First.” Well, I guess it depends on what your definition of “people” is. The far-left justice has indicated she’d entertain a case brought by the “Nonhuman Rights Project” arguing that “common law courts must recognize our nonhuman animal clients as legal persons with the fundamental right to bodily liberty protected by the writ of habeas corpus.” (Far-left justice is an oxymoron if ever there was one.)

Welch noted that she is open to exploring whether “chimpanzees possess a common law right to bodily liberty” and rejected the idea that “the Book of Genesis is a sound foundation for Michigan common law.” Remarkably, she cited Peter Singer, a big proponent of animal equality and liberty, who also seriously argued for killing children and the elderly. (Oh, and Singer defended sex with animals. I guess he thought bestiality was no big deal if animals and humans are considered to have equal rights, and are on an equitable footing.)

Tragicomically, Welch’s campaign was backed by Planned Parenthood. So, don’t kill animals, or deprive them of their natural rights and liberty, but feel free to casually snuff out the human life in your wombs, ladies! Gotta love utterly consistent logic like that, right?

So, to recap, monkeys have human rights, but undersized humans don’t have human rights. What’s more, bellow “progressives,” Leftist violence is protected speech, but Conservative speech is violence. And men can become women, and vice-versa, on nought but a whim or assertion.

If Democrats win the midterms, it may not be long until they launch a monkey suffrage movement. For all we know, with no ID needed to vote in the majority of states, a monkey or ten may have already voted. But that will just be a prelude to the push for inter-species marriage. The “ISM Front” will start riots in cities like Portland, Seattle, L.A., San Francisco, New York, and Minneapolis to force the issue. If monkeys have equal rights...why not? Who does it hurt if some folks want to marry a monkey? Or a horse? Or a dog? Who wants to be on the regressive, fascist, intolerant, bigoted side and be called a “far-right extremist” and “love-hater?”

Nearly a dozen years ago, I wrote a satirical post about just such a scenario. It may not be seen as satire for much longer. When it comes to depravity, Democrats believe in monkey see, monkey do.

Being old-school, I believe we should stop monkeying around with the fundamental-- and Biblical—principles that made this nation great.

Save a horse, ride a cowboy? Nah. Save a nation, vote conservative.
