It will never stop astounding me that, for all of our sophistication as a species and as a society, we still hold on to the primitive notion that a person's rights should be determined by *where they were born.*
We're somehow still stupid enough to think it matters where your mother was when you came out of her.
The idea is precisely as archaic as any prehistoric lizard-brained illiterate barbarism you can think of.
And yet...here we are, in the year 20-fucking-24, assigning rights on THAT.
