Ban it, ban birth control, you know what I mean?
00:00:02.320
I'm pretty sure it has had ecological consequences,
00:00:11.660
I'm sure there's some, like, really sincere person
00:00:14.660
and they're being, like, told, shut up, you're not...
00:00:22.440
who's like, no, but it's really hard for you to do it.
00:00:28.560
but it makes too much money for the people in power
00:00:52.580
and I was just like, no, this cannot be a good thing.
00:00:57.640
So can it affect, and I could be wrong, I don't know,
00:01:01.100
could it affect fertility long-term, like having children?
00:01:10.180
But you're right that it's a question worth asking.
00:01:18.400
You're shutting the reproductive system for, you know,
00:01:21.260
Like, it's intuitive that it could have an impact,
00:01:23.460
but I honestly don't know what the evidence is.
00:01:27.140
they're just kind of running experiments on us.
00:01:32.260
I mean, they, you know, when you look at the trials
00:01:43.260
so it's like you're telling me that we're not even 100% sure
00:01:47.520
when the baby can feel pain and like it's debatable,
00:01:51.980
but we're still doing abortions and like convincing us that,
00:01:57.900
because we'll believe anything, you know what I mean?
00:02:13.240
you know, it would make a big difference for a lot of women.
00:02:15.320
You know, we hear that one of the most common questions
00:02:17.400
asked when women go for an abortion is, will it feel anything?
00:02:27.000
But the issue partly with the abortion providers
00:02:29.660
is that even if it does feel pain, they often won't care.
00:02:38.300
where they said, we're going to try and make it the law
00:02:42.200
I think it was after 24 weeks, might have been 20,
00:02:47.560
This is like, it's obvious that the baby feels pain at this stage.
00:02:51.520
Like if a baby is born at that stage and you poke it with a needle,
00:02:57.260
We have ultrasounds of a baby at 23 weeks in the womb,
00:03:00.580
crying from injections because you sometimes have to do them in the womb.
00:03:05.460
Like we can see the baby crying in the womb at 23 weeks.
00:03:09.460
And this bill in Ireland was like, OK, if you do an abortion after that point,
00:03:16.800
They're not even banning abortion after that stage.
00:03:18.800
You're saying you can kill the baby after six months if you want.
00:03:21.460
But if you're going to kill the baby after six months, you have to give it some painkiller.
00:03:28.960
Like it was not even close to passing in the Irish parliament,
00:03:32.960
because that is just how radical the abortion industry is and the abortion lobby and the politicians.
00:03:39.500
Now, whatever you think, you know, there'll be plenty of people listening to this that are pro-choice.
00:03:44.200
They might say early in pregnancy and maybe we should, since it's a prerecorder,
00:03:47.300
we could show the videos I mentioned last time about the baby at like six, seven weeks in the womb.
00:03:52.000
But even before you see those videos, you might be like, OK, in the first trimester, it's OK.
00:03:59.000
But like one of the things that really got me thinking about abortion twice when I went to medical school
00:04:06.200
and I was pro-choice was just looking at how radical the other side is.
00:04:12.800
They're for no painkillers for a baby who's being killed at eight months in the womb.
00:04:18.000
Is that kind of thing that made me think maybe it's like that meme is like, are we the baddies?
00:04:25.500
Like that's like maybe there's something off here.
00:04:28.300
Maybe maybe they should be trusted, even if you don't trust the pro-lifers yet.
00:04:38.800
I don't know how quickly you'll be able to find it now, but afterwards, it's on EHD,
00:04:44.400
So this is a website that really has all the facts about fetal development and it has a whole
00:04:51.000
So they have even done videos where you can put a camera into the womb at an early stage in
00:04:58.100
pregnancy and film like live kind of eye to eye.
00:05:02.800
The embryo are like six, seven weeks and many people, you know, we can show ultrasounds at 20
00:05:09.800
weeks and it's clearly a baby and you can show the baby crying and everyone's like, okay,
00:05:13.800
yeah, you can't kill the baby after that point.
00:05:15.800
But early on in pregnancy, it's just a kind of a bundle of cells.
00:05:19.800
When they see these videos of a baby that's six weeks or seven weeks and you can see the
00:05:26.200
baby's opening its mouth, you can see its tongue inside, it's moving its arms around.
00:05:32.900
It's so obvious that this is a living human being.
00:05:35.500
And that's at seven weeks, like smiling, moving its tongue around.
00:05:38.900
I don't know if it's smiling at that stage, but it's absolutely moving around.
00:05:48.100
I think this is one of my most informative one-on-one.
00:05:53.700
Is there anything else you think is important for people to know that are pro-choice?
00:06:00.700
So one thing, I guess, is, you know, look at other videos and things I've done where
00:06:05.700
I talk about this more, go on my website where I have a whole load more.
00:06:10.800
We were talking about the impact it's had on single motherhood.
00:06:14.000
We haven't even spoken about the way that it has pushed women into poverty because they
00:06:21.500
If the man says it's your body, it's your choice, the man can also say it's your problem.
00:06:25.700
So the man walks away, it's the woman's thing to deal with.
00:06:30.200
And the evidence shows very clearly, it's published in the literature, this has pushed
00:06:34.200
so many more women, particularly African-American women, into poverty.
00:06:41.200
How does it push them into poverty if they don't have the kid?
00:06:47.200
So what they're told is, you don't have to have the kid, so you can abort the kid, go
00:06:52.200
on and have your career, earn a lot more money.
00:06:54.200
The reality is, the man gets the woman pregnant, he walks away and says, it's your problem,
00:07:01.200
The woman, it's not such an easy choice because they know it's a baby.
00:07:04.200
Most women know that this is a life growing inside of them.
00:07:10.200
But the large majority will still have the baby.
00:07:13.200
And in that situation, she has to have the baby by herself.
00:07:20.200
She doesn't have the emotional support and resources that a partner gives.
00:07:26.200
And so she plunges into poverty while the man is just out earning money without any kid.
00:07:38.200
And when you think about the time that you need as well.
00:07:41.200
It's just, I'm pretty sure, yes, even with child support.
00:07:47.200
I just, what I see more is like women either trying to get a guy to commit with a child,
00:07:52.200
and then they end up having it more so than like the guy just like walking away.
00:08:03.200
And there's going to be stories where the man's at fault stories, where the woman's at fault stories,
00:08:10.200
Either way, all of them are harmed by abortion.
00:08:19.200
I mean, when you put it this way, like people will, people will freak out when you say words
00:08:23.200
like that, because they'll think like, you're about controlling people.
00:08:33.200
But, well, the thing is like, no one has that attitude towards the law generally.
00:08:38.200
Most of the people that say this are actually for big government, right?
00:08:41.200
So like, just think about it from the perspective of the law.
00:08:46.200
We all think that we all think there should be laws in place to protect vulnerable people,
00:08:51.200
to protect people from having their rights violated.
00:08:54.200
The same people will be like, how dare you go outside without a mask on during COVID?
00:09:00.200
I've heard that men, I've heard feminists say that men should be banned from walking at night past like 11 p.m.
00:09:13.200
So everyone agrees you have to have the law there, not because you want to punish people for the sake of it,
00:09:18.200
not because you want to control people for the sake of it, but because you have to have people's basic rights upheld and protected.
00:09:26.200
And that's literally just what pro-life is about.
00:09:30.200
It's not about controlling people for the sake of it or punishing people for the sake of it.
00:09:34.200
Most abortion bans in the U.S., I think every single abortion ban in the U.S. explicitly makes women immune from it.
00:09:42.200
I think every single place in the U.S., women like explicitly are exempted from punishment.
