00:00:00.160
i'm curious so you're a doctor yeah did you like what's your experience with have you ever
00:00:05.760
like worked with doctors that have done abortions or what's your oh wow uh yeah i actually have
00:00:10.480
a friend who ran bpass the largest abortion provider in the country she was the ceo but
00:00:14.880
she's a very sincere honest woman who thinks she's doing the right thing for women and so
00:00:19.200
you know um yeah we we have a good friendship um i have plenty of colleagues who do abortions i
00:00:25.120
obviously disagree with them you know in the hippocratic oath it's it literally explicitly
00:00:29.120
says i will not do abortions it's been pretty pretty integral to the medical profession for
00:00:33.440
centuries and centuries um i did not know that yeah it's um most people don't know actually
00:00:39.760
someone said did you not take an oath why are you pro-life and the oath literally says you can't do
00:00:43.920
abortion so it's um it's pretty wild um yeah for me you know this is this is an issue that is both
00:00:50.400
ethical but it's also medical like when you look at the outcomes women who have abortions for an
00:00:56.000
unwanted pregnancy this is women who have an unwanted pregnancy if you have an abortion you
00:01:00.240
have a 30 increased risk of anxiety a 70 increased risk of suicide a 130 increased risk of alcohol
00:01:08.080
abuse and a 300 increased risk of drug abuse and that's if you don't have one if you if you have
00:01:14.160
an if you have one yeah yeah compared to the same women with the same previous psychiatric issues the
00:01:19.280
same socioeconomic stuff the same unwanted pregnancy correlation doesn't equal causation there could be a
00:01:25.520
number of variables for those reasons but that's why they take into account all of those things so
00:01:29.520
they adjust for socioeconomic status for previous psychiatric history for domestic violence for all
00:01:34.480
sorts of things and they find even when you keep those constant the women who have abortions have
00:01:38.720
much worse mental health out well and i and i think it's just common sense to be honest this is why
00:01:43.840
sometimes i'm like you don't even need to study to tell you that like i know women that have had
00:01:47.280
abortions they're never happy after the women that are keeping them are more likely to be in happy
00:01:52.400
relationships in the first place if they have the support they're going to have better but this
00:01:55.760
is like you it's always a cope it's always there's something you know it's like coping you know women
00:02:03.360
have never heard that argument when when we're talking about um when we're talking about um pay gap
00:02:11.600
so you would never hear a woman say well there are so many other factors that could contribute to it
00:02:17.120
but it's funny how to say that for abortion that was never my argument either if you want to yell
00:02:21.440
about we weren't talking about you well he was pointing at me i said it's funny how we never hear
00:02:27.840
women but i think it's funny it's so it's so funny it's just something i notice with girls it's always
00:02:33.840
like they take the argument and it's like they always use me but it's not about you well here i was
00:02:38.160
the one saying it and he was looking at me i'm not even talking about you i'm talking about in general
00:02:43.920
um so you said you're i'm curious can you tell me what happens during an abortion
00:02:50.800
yeah it really depends on the kind of abortion so there's two main kinds there's medical which
00:02:55.040
means using pills or they're surgical so in a medical abortion you take two pills the first pill
00:03:00.080
will you know deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients so that it basically suffocates and then
00:03:05.120
the second pill misoprostol will eject the baby and cause you know labor and cause a miscarriage
00:03:10.560
at a very late stage because the baby could be born alive like if you do this at 22 weeks the baby
00:03:15.360
might come out of the womb alive you have to perform a procedure called fetus side which you
00:03:19.920
can guess what that means it's the killing of a fetus and that's one of the reasons for thinking this
00:03:24.160
is a living thing right they wouldn't call it fetus side if it wasn't alive wait so they'll they'll kill
00:03:28.720
it after it comes out no no so what they do is before they do the abortion they will put a needle
00:03:34.320
through the mummy mother's tummy and they will stick it into the baby's heart or sometimes into
00:03:39.200
the head and they will pump in potassium chloride and that will kill the baby now this has been banned
00:03:45.120
potassium chloride in capital punishment so if you look at human rights groups they say you cannot use
00:03:50.480
this chemical in capital punishment because it's inhumane to kill rapists and murderers this way
00:03:56.880
but this is exactly the same chemical they use to perform fetus side in late-term abortions
00:04:01.280
abortions now those are a small number but you know they still occur there's still um hundreds
00:04:05.680
of them each year in in this country surgical abortions are quite different at an early stage
00:04:10.320
you use a vacuum so that basically vacuums the baby and destroys the baby through the force of
00:04:15.600
the vacuum after about 12 13 14 weeks the baby is too kind of big and tough to be vacuumed and so
00:04:21.760
you have to dismember it so you basically just pull the limbs off the baby bit by bit um it's horrible to
00:04:27.200
think about horrible to say i don't like saying it but it's just the reality it's a dismembering
00:04:31.280
basically um if the baby's head is too big to remove from the womb they will have to crush the
00:04:36.960
head um bring it out so it's it's pretty horrendous um and if you read academic papers where abortion
00:04:44.240
providers give their thoughts on it many of them say actually this is terrible many abortion providers
00:04:49.680
say i'm only going to do it up to 12 weeks because after that it's just um so it's it's something that
00:04:55.680
you know most abortions are in the first trimester i'm not pretending that most abortions are these horrible
00:05:00.720
gruesome late-term things but just as an example there are 3 000 abortions in this country after 20
00:05:06.480
weeks each year so after 20 weeks five months when the baby's pretty much viable 3 000 abortions take
00:05:14.080
place by those sorts of methods and so it's still something that you know if 3 000 children were being
00:05:19.360
killed by that method in any other circumstance we'd say that's way too many that's 3 000 too many
00:05:24.800
um yeah sorry that was very deep and heavy so what what happens in the first one you said they're
00:05:29.440
deprived of nutrients can i challenge you on that because i've looked up both of these drugs so you
00:05:34.320
spoke about my mysoprostol but mifopristone is the the first one that's more common it's an
00:05:40.480
anti-progestogen yes and it causes the cervix and uterine vessels to dilate um and then it causes a
00:05:45.920
contraction i don't see in anywhere where it's like doing what you're saying yeah so it has a number of
00:05:51.920
mechanisms so um there's you know three or four or five different ways that it acts but the main
00:05:56.400
thing that it does if you search online it will say it breaks down the uterine lining so it basically
00:06:01.760
breaks down the connection between the mother and the baby and of course that connection is what's
00:06:05.600
providing the oxygen and so on sometimes the baby does survive it um usually the baby is killed by the
00:06:12.240
deprivation of oxygen if it does survive then it would be the contractions of the uterus that will
00:06:17.280
you know squash it and usually end its life yes so essentially the drugs that would i mean some of
00:06:22.960
these drugs are still used for induction of labor and such and well one of them is also used for
00:06:28.000
stomach ulcers or something so i i i find it i don't know i feel like the way that you said it
00:06:35.040
especially for the first drug it it felt more emotional especially since because they're having
00:06:40.000
these uh abortions so early on when you're saying survive depriving the baby of oxygen is it breathing
00:06:47.760
because i don't think it's breathing is it no so it gets oxygen through the umbilical cord but no
00:06:54.640
matter how you're getting oxygen if you're deprived of it you will still have the same yes but i think
00:06:58.400
using words like breathing invokes an emotional response in all of us and we're thinking oh it's this
00:07:03.200
little thing that's why i didn't say breathing you said breathing oh i think you did you said
00:07:08.240
it puts off the oxygen yeah okay you didn't i i said it deprived of oxygen i didn't say it was
00:07:14.080
breathing you know the the oxygen is coming through the umbilical cord um and that is just how it works
00:07:19.520
now i'm not saying the baby is conscious from the moment of conception i don't believe that i'm not
00:07:24.240
trying to pretend that from the moment of conception the baby will feel things and will always feel
00:07:28.400
something during an abortion but certainly by the end of the first trimester i think is extremely
00:07:32.880
likely and we don't know exactly when consciousness begins but it probably does begin within the first
00:07:38.880
trimester and at that point if you deprive the baby of oxygen it doesn't matter whether you're you know
00:07:44.000
covering its head or just cutting the umbilical cord or whatever when your body is deprived of oxygen
00:07:50.720
if you are conscious then you know that will that will affect you and that is what causes the the demise of
00:07:57.360
the yes but i i guess with the consciousness argument it does not bother me because babies
00:08:03.120
don't even get self-awareness to 15 odd months and i don't advocate for throwing babies into dumpsters so
00:08:08.320
the consciousness that a thing this small has is relatively irrelevant in my opinion obviously not
00:08:13.600
to everyone else here so why don't you think it has self-awareness till 15 months because it doesn't
00:08:18.800
pass the mirror test until around then you can't acknowledge that it exists in it but that doesn't mean i
00:08:23.920
think babies should be thrown in dumpsters just because it doesn't have self-awareness capabilities
00:08:28.080
yet it hasn't even reached stage one it doesn't mean that i don't think it is an entity that is
00:08:32.320
existing that should be protected and has protection sure but i think most neurologists and psychologists
00:08:38.240
would say the mirror test is not a good test of self-awareness well it doesn't pass any self-awareness
00:08:42.560
tests until around that age but again but i don't think it's important because i don't advocate for
00:08:48.800
destruction of babies when they're born so whether the whether there is any like valuable consciousness
00:08:56.400
there doesn't really matter too much to me so you think if it feels excruciating pain as like a
00:09:01.120
newborn baby that doesn't matter no i don't think pain matters no i sound like a sociopath now but it's
00:09:08.640
pain is a very little of consequence to me it's a when you're dead you won't feel it i mean they used
00:09:14.960
to think that newborn babies don't feel pain so they used to do surgery on newborn babies because
00:09:20.080
they said these newborn babies can't feel pain they're not sufficiently conscious they're not
00:09:24.160
sufficiently self-aware and so they would just do surgery on newborn babies without any painkillers
00:09:28.800
without any anesthesia but they changed that a few decades ago because there was a pretty
00:09:34.320
unanimous consensus within medical science that newborn babies can feel pain even if they can't pass the
00:09:40.400
mirror test yes but if well regardless of when they feel pain if they are not of any kind of valuable
00:09:51.840
consciousness to me which i don't think they gain until much older it doesn't matter because it's just
00:10:00.640
trying to put an emotional response on a blob it is not an entity that is developed enough for anything
00:10:08.720
to be of any importance the pain receptors are just irrelevant to me it doesn't know of its
00:10:15.040
existence it doesn't know of its pain so why does the pain matter if it doesn't know of it um can i
00:10:20.400
just say if if you was in um i have consciousness and self-awareness i'm not a blob yes i've never heard
00:10:29.360
of anyone calling it a blob but that that's crazy to me crazy can i just ask you a question no no no
00:10:35.200
listen let me just let me just say if it was proven that um that you what if they thought you couldn't
00:10:44.400
feel pain i mean they still do that with a lot of female procedures they don't give you when you was
00:10:49.520
in a coma or something yeah and they start doing poking you and putting needles in you and doing things
00:10:57.200
and you woke up and was able to say like hello i felt all that but it doesn't matter but it doesn't
00:11:06.080
matter because you was unconscious i have self-awareness and i would be able to experience
00:11:10.400
the pain it wouldn't just be pain receptors babies have been proven to you know like babies are talk
00:11:17.040
before they like younger they're getting younger and younger and finding out that babies can talk and
00:11:22.080
do things and memory is real memory is real so how have you got no consciousness if you if you
00:11:30.000
are so can you remember being in the womb that would be impressive if he was not unconscious and
00:11:35.600
someone beat you up and you woke up and you had bruises all over your body would you not be upset about
00:11:40.240
that if i was unconscious i wouldn't be feeling anything would i yeah but it doesn't matter whether
00:11:44.000
you're unconscious or not you still got assaulted i don't know what point you're trying to get at i'm
00:11:49.120
going to because you're saying because you're saying that if someone's unconscious or there's
00:11:52.960
no consciousness of of of uh of uh yes but it's temporary and then i wake up so it's not the same
00:11:59.360
is it but the fact that you still got beat up do you get it it's not it's not the fact that you're
00:12:04.800
unconscious you're talking about oh because i'm unconscious it's fine it's fine because i'm
00:12:07.920
uncle so if a woman gets if a woman and it's if a woman gets great if great happened to a woman but
00:12:12.640
she was unconscious it's fine because she was unconscious right but that's basically what you're saying
00:12:17.600
no i'm not if you would listen you said 15 months i exist as an entity with self-awareness
00:12:24.560
yeah but it's different but are you a scientist what difference do you do you know you've just
00:12:31.200
googled stuff and you're finding stuff have you physically done uh like uh anything and found things
00:12:38.960
out for yourself with a baby with a baby no no no no have you have you with a newborn baby
00:12:46.880
have you found anything out yourself or are you just going off words of people that you don't
00:12:53.040
even know what are you on about everything you are saying everyone goes off everything other people
00:12:58.800
have wrote written or read or said yeah like what is your point but my point is i don't take everything
00:13:04.400
and go it's a blob like that to me that to me you don't have to be that crude that to me it's like
00:13:12.240
it's a blob come on if you have consciousness why haven't you have you not got a soul are you soulless
00:13:20.080
this is why i told my story to start with so no everyone would think i'm a sociopath that's crazy
00:13:25.360
to me i'm like in the middle but that everything you just said that's offensive like like if you if
00:13:32.320
it was your baby imagine this if it was her baby imagine someone assaulted that newborn baby i'm mad
00:13:41.200
that means it's okay it's okay because it's okay it's okay it's all right my child got assaulted
00:13:45.280
because it's okay i never said this and a child is an existing entity okay but but you've just said
00:13:51.120
it doesn't matter if they're unconscious it's so unconscious and they're not conscious what you're
00:13:55.200
saying you're interpreting things from what i've said that i but if it was your child it would be
00:14:00.160
different right i don't make arguments from emotion which is what you are doing but but if it was
00:14:05.520
your child you're trying to make oh if you're saying i'm unemotional and sociopathic but also
00:14:13.360
i'm making no one said you're sociopathic you said you were sociopathic i know i sound that way
00:14:18.320
you know but you said that no one else has said that so you're putting that out there you are you
00:14:23.600
that's the energy you want you want people to believe that you're sociopathic and i don't know
00:14:28.080
maybe it's for attention maybe you're saying all this blobby stuff to get like a viral that's just
00:14:34.640
i don't know what that but that is effed up i'm sorry that is next level soulless like come on if
00:14:45.360
it was your baby i know for a fact i would bet my life on it you would think different if it was your
00:14:51.520
baby but it's not but you're talking about all these different babies talking about a hundred
00:14:56.480
percent if you had a baby it would be different i think that what if you was upset about something
00:15:03.360
that happened to your child because it was unconscious and then someone else said it don't
00:15:06.720
matter what you're crying for your child's unconscious get over it get her over it because
00:15:10.880
you're being dumb and conflating an actual child with a very early i'm not being dumb you said that
00:15:16.640
if some if an entity or a child or it doesn't matter if a human is unconscious then it doesn't
00:15:21.680
matter because they're not feeling anything i didn't say that well you said that you want me to
00:15:26.560
say what i said because everyone's i can tell you exactly what you said you said that a child doesn't
00:15:31.600
have um self-awareness to a certain age so that's why the pain doesn't matter that's what you said no
00:15:36.800
you said the pain doesn't matter you did you said the pain doesn't matter because the child cannot
00:15:41.120
pass the mirror test until a certain age that's exactly what i said the reason why is i don't
00:15:47.280
value consciousness is because a child doesn't pass the mirror test till then that doesn't mean i
00:15:52.000
think that babies should be thrown in dumpsters i think that they are you also said the pain doesn't
00:15:56.880
matter because they don't pass the mirror test that's what you said the pain doesn't matter yeah
00:16:01.600
yeah if they are it's like how do we all hear the same thing but we're the dumb ones if they're an
00:16:06.800
early pregnancy that has never achieved a consciousness that matters they will not be
00:16:11.120
able to understand the pain the example they used was if they can't understand the or understand or
00:16:17.440
like live in the pain in some way this is like the last just makes up words i swear to god you can
00:16:24.000
actually rewind it because she said she said what she said that but she also followed it up by saying it's a
00:16:31.600
up to a certain age can't pass the mirror test so the pain doesn't matter i think we can actually
00:16:37.280
you know it's like i think i think even pro-choice people are gonna be like proper like flabbergasted
00:16:46.560
by what you just said even pro pro-choice people i know even pro-choice people are gonna be like
00:16:54.080
what did you just say did you just i actually i'm so i am so like taken aback by that
00:17:01.920
like i feel like a lot of things i feel like you are going to make many pro-choice people pro-life
00:17:11.120
by what you just said like you're saying that they're using emotion to to get people you just did
00:17:18.800
the opposite used in you was like yes that was like that was that was so said no one's saying
00:17:28.480
heartless and and and i i i have no like like i'm actually i don't know if you can see how shook i am
00:17:36.480
yes i have no that's so that is excuse me i'm so i'm dying attachment to an early pregnancy you've
00:17:43.040
got no emotional attachment to yourself mate like you've got like psychoanalyze so you literally you
00:17:49.680
literally i just said that babies don't feel pain so it doesn't matter what happens to them i said
00:17:57.200
everyone should protect their child from you that is who they should protect like that is crazy
00:18:05.200
okay girl i already said listen when we end this like we're in actual babies no listen when we end
00:18:10.480
this we draw a line yeah and we're friends and whatever and we smile and we say hi and i'm not
00:18:15.440
going to be funny yeah but i just want to make it clear i don't advocate for her like hurting actual
00:18:21.680
babies that have been born we know the pain doesn't you said pain doesn't matter when they are this small
00:18:27.200
no because they cannot experience well you said no no
