The Left loathes humanity. We see examples of this every day, especially with affluent white female urban Leftists (AWFULs) hating themselves for their skin color, and in the human extinction wing of the environmentalist movement. But both of those examples of self-loathing are rooted in the ultimate example of the Left's hatred of its fellow man: abortion.
Just as their slave-owning forebears, the modern-day Left has decided that unborn children are not human beings, but property, things to be created and discarded at their whim. They couch this barbarism in Orwellian language about "choice" and "reproductive freedom," but it's rooted in a fundamental hatred of people.
This is also why Leftists, who would not grant an unborn child personhood under any circumstances, also push to grant "personhood" to non-human things, including animals and plants.
In Minnesota, Democrats are pushing to grant personhood to wild rice.
🚨 Minnesota Democrats are pushing to give Wild Rice an inherent right to life.

Just a couple years ago, they voted to legalize abortion up to the moment of birth.

It's simply incredible.
Minnesota Democrats are debating whether Wild Rice has an inherent right to life.

So "Minnesota nice" means rice has legal protections that unborn children do not.
She is so far gone she doesn’t even realize what she is saying. “Wild rice has a right to live because it is alive.” So does that mean we shouldn’t eat any plants? And certainly if wild rice is alive so is the human baby starting at conception.

Science says life begins at conception, but the so-called "Party of Science" ignores that, too.
Not only is such legislation rooted in anti-human ideology, it's also about power and control. In Wisconsin, which is slowly becoming East Minnesota, socialists want to give personhood to Devil's Lake State Park, so they can bankrupt people.
Socialists in the Wisconsin Legislature want to grant legal personhood to a state park — and power to anyone to sue on its behalf for a bunch of undefined torts. https://t.co/hpF57CU01C https://t.co/q3cQHunv5g

That proposal, of course, doesn't say what "violates" the "rights" of Devil's Lake meaning anyone can bring a lawsuit on behalf of the park, for almost any reason. It also means that the park — and nature's — "right to exist" becomes a "right" to not have natural resources used at all.
In short, it means humans would suffer and — in the Left's ideal world — die off, which closes the circle on their anti-human views perfectly.
Drawing this out to its logical conclusion, if wild rice is a person, that would mean harvesting and eating wild rice is a violation of that personhood. Now, I'm certain Minnesotans can survive without eating wild rice, but if we expand this ideology to cows, pigs, corn, potatoes, and other livestock and crops, where does it lead? Nowhere good.
We are dealing with mentally ill people, but we aren't admitting that they are mentally ill and we are letting them hold public office.

What could possibly go wrong?
It's very easy to dismiss this as the insanity of the Minnesota (and Wisconsin) Democrats, and it certainly is insane. But this is how they think, this is what they believe, and when they control the levers of power, they don't pass up an opportunity to force their agenda through, whatever the cost.
