If college students are really as dense as this half-wit, then as a nation we’re in deep doo-doo. Or maybe his stupidity is due to brainwashing by Planned Parenthood. Or the media, or the internet (because you know they can’t put anything on the internet that isn’t true, right?)

At any rate, this University of Tennessee student is full of arrogant dumbassery as he argues for infanticide. Behold, a peabrain on parade:

Oh, my. I have so much to say here.

First of all, I’m a speech pathologist who works with kids, so I have a bit of knowledge on speech and language development. And I can tell you that toddlers start putting two words together at about 18 to 24 months of age — a year-and-a-half to two years old. Moreover, at 24 months — when a child turns two — he already has about 200-300 words in his spoken vocabulary. And between two and three years old a child can begin to ask simple questions and put endings on words, such as -ing.

But that’s just verbal communication. A one-year-old who says only one or two words can point to things when you ask her, or show you things. She can shake her head yes or no in response to questions.

Yes, that’s communication, too. But that U of Tennessee nitwit is too dense to comprehend this. Consider, too, his self-absorption: ‘If that child can’t communicate with me, then I say that child’s life doesn’t have value.’

However, this buffoon doesn’t only show lack of knowledge about tiny children, or concern for their lives. He also demonstrates a frightening lack of morality when he bases the worth of a human being on “sentience.”

Back in September, conservative Ben Shapiro was challenged by a college student at UC Berkeley who also believed that ‘sentience’ determines moral worth. It did not go well — for the student, that is. Here’s how the exchange went:

“So when you’re asleep, can I stab you?” Shapiro asked.
“I’m still considered sentient when I’m asleep,” the student responded.
“OK, if you are in a coma from which you may awake, can I stab you?” Shapiro asked in a follow-up question.
“Well, then, uh, no,” the student said.
When the student then claimed that he would still have “potential sentience” even if he was in a coma, Shapiro agreed.
“I agree it is potential sentience. You know what else is potential sentience? Being a fetus.”

Ka-boom! 

Needless to say, a two-year old — or one-year-old, or one-day old — also possesses worth. Why? Because human life has intrinsic value, no matter how young. No matter how much “sentience” some self-important college smartass thinks that life should have. And whose thought processes are not much more advanced than those of the children he apparently holds in contempt.
