Twitter Suspended Us Until We Took Down THIS Picture

As our big tech overlords continue to crush and constrain us, they recently took a bit more direct action by suspending our account for posting what from their perspective ought to be a harmless image, refusing to let us back on until we removed it.

The offending picture is this one, featuring SBC Bart Barber after he slandered an abortion abolitionist and continued to insist that babies in the womb are not the same as babies outside the womb and should NOT be given equal protection and rights under the law.

The image is shocking and graphic. It hurt to post. We debated for quite a while over doing so, having a queasy feeling in our stomach as we edited it, alternately wanting to cry and throw up that someone would do such a cruel thing to a human soul. To a precious baby. To a precious child. 

But from Twitter’s perspective- that should not be a big deal. It’s not a baby being injured or tortured but is simply biological matter. It’s not a separate body, but rather part of the body. For them, it’s no different than an organ like the liver or pancreas- just a clump of cells. Because it’s just tissue; how is it any different than posting a picture of a medium-rare steak? 

You wouldn’t say that a ribeye is being tortured by being cut up and cooked. You wouldn’t say a tenderloin is being waterboarded by being basted.

Implicit in the warning is the acknowledgment that something terrible is happening to someone and that it should not be shown. They treat the process of having an abortion as no more consequential as having one’s tonsils removed, or a zit to be popped, but will let you show one and not the other.

What a wicked organization.
