      18. Williamson says his suggestion of hanging not "a public-policy recommendation." That's true. It's not an idea or a policy, but an expression of an emotion and not a credible one: a desire to punish women.

      19. Cards on the table: I am strongly pro-choice. But I accept that many anti-abortion people are motivated by a genuine concern for fetal personhood & rights. Not Williamson, though. Something else is at work.

      20. If you go by Williamson's writings on abortion in National Review & words of his friends, this is a personal issue because Williamson sees himself as abortion survivor:https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/981984624871124992 …

      This is precisely why this is asymmetrical. Kevin feels especially strongly about this issue b/c he's the sort of person who could - maybe would - have been aborted after 1973. They extend no similar empathy to how this affects *him* personally. https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/981978511140360193 …

      21. Here's the basic argument from Williamson's friends: Williamson is a former fetus & abortion survivor so he feels passionate about issue. It's self-defence! That's why he talks about hanging women.

      22. I have to confess, I find the argument about being an abortion survivor puzzling on a metaphysical level. It doesn't account for the radical contingency of being.

      23. I mean anyone who understands biology should realize that the fact that any of us are here is a immense miracle.We all survived abortion, or miscarriage or premature ejaculation. Why get mad at hypotheticals?

      24. It's true that if Kevin Williamson's mom had aborted him he wouldn't exist. Also true that if his dad had prematurely ejaculated he wouldn't exist. Should we hang men who prematurely ejaculate? Where does this anger come from?

      25. To clarify My point is that if Williamson's dad had prematurely ejaculated another sperm, not Williamson-homunculi, have impregnated egg. https://twitter.com/JohnnyDramamine/status/988156233545728000 …

      26. I mentioned this before but Williamson's anger at his mom (who, for the record, did NOT abort him) often calls to mind Jack Kirby's weirdest creation, Paranex, The Fighting Fetus.pic.twitter.com/Ds1QEteVHH

      Twitter regulations state all Jeet Heer threads must include Jack Kirby reference.
