00:00:01.980And then maybe you can comment about why you think this issue is spilling into the conversation here in Canada.
00:00:07.700Man, yeah, there's so much to say about that.
00:00:09.880So one is, you know, the so-called pro-choice movement talks about being pro-choice, but clearly they're not really pro-choice.
00:00:16.940I would say even in the very issue of killing a baby, killing a pre-born baby.
00:00:22.780But beyond that, politically, they're not pro-choice.
00:00:25.200Because if they were really pro-choice and they would want people to be able to vote on the issue, they would want California to make their choice on the issue.
00:00:32.440And they would want Texas or Ohio or Mississippi, Alabama to make their choice on the issue.
00:00:55.200There is a choice where people can choose to protect their babies, either by giving up for adoption or by believing that they can persevere, that they are strong enough to take care of their own babies.
00:01:06.820As my mother did when my father left my family before I was born, when my mom was pregnant with me in Ghana.
00:01:15.740And look, being a single mother is hard anywhere.
00:01:18.860But being a single mother in West Africa, especially at the time in the late 80s, is very, very difficult.
00:01:23.840So anyway, so I think this goes to show that, you know, people, a lot of people in the U.S. just do not want states to have the choice, women, men, to be able to have a choice to vote on this issue.
00:01:36.420And I think the reason why it's also spilling into Canada is because, of course, our nations are very connected in so many ways.
00:01:44.100And oftentimes the political issues in the U.S. are or become political issues also in Canada.
00:01:49.940As we've seen already that politicians have had to answer on what they think about Roe v. Wade already, especially the conservative leadership race.
00:02:00.680And also because abortion is an issue here, too.
00:02:05.420There are people here who, like me, do not like abortion because we don't like, again, innocent children, innocent children to be killed or any children to be killed.
00:02:15.360But also it's because we don't have a law here in Canada.
00:02:20.180We don't have a single law protecting pre-born babies in this country.
00:02:24.240And I think that's one of the reasons why it's spilling into our country.
00:02:27.820And I think that's why it's spilling into the country.
