00:00:00.000 Because of that, I'm going to go on to the next person, but thank you for stopping.
00:00:03.920 I appreciate it.
00:00:04.840 Perfect.
00:00:05.880 Have a great one.
00:00:06.740 Okay, thank you.
00:00:07.620 I think in the majority of cases, abortion is a cop-out.
00:00:11.380 And the reason I think this is because 40% of women that get an abortion have had two 0.99
00:00:15.640 or more.
00:00:16.540 They're not tracking which women are going to get abortions in the future, so arguably
00:00:20.580 that number could be higher, right?
00:00:22.660 And we have so many different forms of birth control, right?
00:00:25.580 We have condoms, we have IUDs, we have that thing that they put in your arm that are
00:00:29.780 99.5% effective, 98, this guy wanted to argue 98%, that's still pretty effective, right?
00:00:36.200 So we have all these ways that we can prevent pregnancies, and if you still get pregnant, 0.97
00:00:40.240 it's a cop-out for your poor decision.
00:00:42.360 I mean, I don't completely disagree, but I don't know if I completely agree either.
00:00:46.620 A lot of people argue that, okay, so what about people who are financially unable to look after
00:00:51.500 the child, or they, you know, are raped, or things of its nature?
00:00:57.060 I know that that's a minority.
00:00:58.500 So, this is one misconception, is that poor people get abortions at higher rates than richer
00:01:03.840 people.
00:01:04.560 So actually, only 8% of women below the poverty line are getting abortions, where 1 out of
00:01:08.900 3 women that make $47,000 per year or more are getting an abortion.
00:01:13.240 So it's, the majority of the women that are getting these abortions can't afford it. 1.00
00:01:17.360 Right, right.
00:01:18.020 Okay.
00:01:18.300 And so to me, it's like, if you make $47,000 per year, you can afford condoms, right?
00:01:23.900 So it's really, it seems like the majority are just, it's a failsafe for a poor reproductive 0.88
00:01:28.380 choice that you made.
00:01:29.640 So then why do you think abortion is pushed so much?
00:01:32.860 Why do you think it's something that is, like, really heavily pushed by the media, by certain
00:01:36.720 influences?
00:01:37.660 And we see it so much nowadays, especially as a younger generation.
00:01:40.440 Honestly, I think so.
00:01:41.640 This is something a lot of people don't know about.
00:01:43.460 Do you know what are Planned Parenthood's roots in the U.S.?
00:01:45.840 Yeah, I do.
00:01:46.260 Racism.
00:01:46.720 Yeah.
00:01:47.040 And so I think there's a group of elites, honestly, this is a conspiracy.
00:01:51.300 Don't, I know the comments are going to be like, you do, you know, this is, this is,
00:01:54.580 this part is conspiracy.
00:01:55.900 But I think there's a group of elites that believe in population control.
00:01:58.880 And I think that's why they're doing it.
00:02:00.440 And that's why 80% of Planned Parenthood's in the U.S. are in minority communities.
00:02:04.100 The black population in the U.S. would be double today.
00:02:06.560 Yeah.
00:02:06.920 Yeah, she referred to black people as weeds. 0.85
00:02:09.400 And so it's like, if Nike was founded by a racist, people would be on the streets.
00:02:13.340 Why is this okay?
00:02:14.560 Especially when Margaret Sanger's grandson, they talk about how they want to market it
00:02:18.780 to minority women.
00:02:19.860 And they talk about how they want to, they make it a woman of color issue.
00:02:23.420 And, like, that's how they market it to minority.
00:02:25.680 And her project was called the N-Word Project.
00:02:28.100 Her grandson is still doing it.
00:02:29.760 He's in New York.
00:02:30.440 He was the head of Planned Parenthood in all of New York.
00:02:32.260 And he was interviewed about Roe versus Wade.
00:02:34.460 And he uses the same language.
00:02:35.800 Like, this affects women of color when anyone can get an abortion. 0.99
00:02:38.960 It's not specifically.
00:02:40.380 I think that's something a lot of people should know about, the roots of Planned Parenthood,
00:02:43.900 especially when it ties to race and minority populations in America.
00:02:48.540 A lot of people will say that removing the choice to get an abortion is an infringement
00:02:55.060 on women's rights.
00:02:55.840 And that it's going to keep kind of coming after women's rights and that kind of thing. 1.00
00:03:00.620 So it kind of brings in a feminist movement with, are they going to go after women's votes? 1.00
00:03:03.860 Are they going to go after women being able to do this and do that? 0.99
00:03:06.480 So what do you think about that in terms of a women's rights perspective? 1.00
00:03:09.120 What about the child's rights?
00:03:10.660 It's like, I think the child's rights, at conception, there's a unique DNA sequence that's
00:03:14.500 different from the mother and the father's, right?
00:03:16.280 That DNA sequence has the eye color, hair color, personality traits.
00:03:20.620 And in China, you see something where they're aborting women. 1.00
00:03:23.640 That's because of the one child policy.
00:03:26.060 So what about those women? 1.00
00:03:28.160 And that's the problem with abortion, is it becomes a slippery slope to eugenics, where 0.91
00:03:32.660 a lot of the arguments I hear people make are something along the lines of poor people
00:03:36.440 shouldn't live and shouldn't be alive.
00:03:39.100 When everyone on earth is richer than most people were in all of human history.
00:03:43.040 You know, by that logic, no one should be here.
00:03:44.660 I think a lot of people also get caught up with the whole point of life discussion.
00:03:49.500 So a lot of people who are kind of pro-life will say that as soon as the sperm and the
00:03:55.080 egg kind of come together, that is somewhat a form of life starting.
00:03:58.820 But it seems to be this kind of, as you said, like slippery slope as to where life starts.
00:04:02.740 And I think if, I don't think, I personally don't demonize those who are pro-life or pro-choice
00:04:06.800 because I think they both come from a point of, like, I see where they're coming from,
00:04:10.020 both sides.
00:04:10.660 I feel like one side gets heavily demonized and the conversation just gets completely skewed.
00:04:15.120 That's why I didn't want to answer you over there.
00:04:17.580 Because as soon as I say pro-life, nobody wants to hear anything.
00:04:21.080 Yeah.
00:04:21.640 Which, which isn't, it's not really fair because another thing is a lot of people, I think if
00:04:26.180 they saw what abortions looked like, they wouldn't, they wouldn't be cool with it.
00:04:29.300 They pull off the limbs one by one.
00:04:31.980 They crush the head and they vacuum it out for surgical abortions. 0.98
00:04:35.440 Because, yeah, and, and if they did that to puppies, people would be in uproar.
00:04:39.060 Very true.
00:04:39.440 Yeah.
00:04:39.780 Yeah.
00:04:40.160 It's weird because when it's a human.
00:04:42.460 Yeah.
00:04:42.760 And I, again, this isn't something, and they also, a lot of people say, oh, you know, as
00:04:46.720 men.
00:04:47.580 Yeah.
00:04:48.060 We shouldn't have an opinion on this kind of stuff.
00:04:49.960 Yeah.
00:04:50.480 So I think it's interesting that you as a woman who, you know, seems to kind of have
00:04:53.800 a fork in the discussion.
00:04:55.700 Yeah.
00:04:56.500 Is giving you an opinion.
00:04:57.260 Because if, if I was here with this, no one would bother listening to me.
00:05:01.500 As a woman, I think it's important that women have this discussion amongst themselves. 0.99
00:05:04.360 Yeah.
00:05:05.140 And try to, like, have a dialogue that kind of looks at both sides of the spectrum.
00:05:10.420 Yeah.
00:05:11.780 But I think the last two weeks, the whole Roe v. Wade thing, yeah, it was, you couldn't 0.52
00:05:15.640 escape it.
00:05:16.340 Like, I wasn't exactly sure where I was with it.
00:05:19.040 Because, again, I'm not going to say I'm pro-life or pro-choice.
00:05:23.000 I think there are some, some situations where I don't blame a woman for getting an abortion.
00:05:27.920 Again, if she's underage and she's, and that kind of, I get that.
00:05:31.400 But, you know, when it is used as a form of contraception,
00:05:34.360 as you said, that most people get two or more,
00:05:36.380 that to me just seems like a sort of contraception.
00:05:38.500 And that is something that I don't think a lot of people know about.
00:05:40.460 If they, if they knew that abortion was used as a form of contraception,
00:05:43.420 maybe the discussion would be a bit different, I think.
00:05:46.500 Do you know what hypergamy is?
00:05:47.800 I've heard the term, but I can't tell you exactly what it is.
00:05:49.580 Hypergamy is basically like women date across and up hierarchies. 1.00
00:05:53.140 And so a girl wants to know when she has a kid, that's the best I can do.
00:05:56.200 So that's why you see a lot of girls chasing after rich guys trying to get their kids, right? 0.99
00:06:00.320 And to me, abortion is the ultimate form of hypergamy
00:06:02.880 because she's saying, this isn't the best I could do.
00:06:05.580 Because if a girl is really into you, she is not aborting that kid. 1.00
00:06:08.660 You couldn't pay her to.
00:06:10.100 Okay. Fair enough, fair enough.
00:06:11.700 That's interesting. I mean, I can't speak.
00:06:13.260 No one's aborting Steph Curry's kid.
00:06:15.760 No one's aborting, like.
00:06:16.560 That's an interesting part of the conversation, how finance, how economics,
00:06:20.820 how social status plays a part into it.
00:06:22.860 I get that. That makes a lot of sense.
00:06:24.420 A lot of people say things like, oh, especially me as a man, you know,
00:06:27.460 you're not carrying the child.
00:06:29.340 You know, you can't say whatever, whatever.
00:06:32.360 I think you may have a point in there as well.
00:06:33.920 I mean, again, I would love to play devil's advocate to what you're saying.
00:06:36.860 But everything you're kind of saying are things I've thought myself.
00:06:39.520 Yeah.
00:06:40.200 But I don't say publicly, per se.
00:06:43.180 Yeah.
00:06:43.720 Because...
00:06:43.900 Until now.
00:06:44.400 Until now.
00:06:45.000 Well, but again, when I found out the roots of Planned Parenthood,
00:06:49.480 Margaret Sanger, eugenics, reducing the black population,
00:06:53.280 that's something that I can't ignore.
00:06:55.100 Yeah.
00:06:55.620 Right?
00:06:56.000 So a lot of black people should know this kind of stuff.
00:06:57.940 A lot of minority people should know this stuff
00:06:59.400 about where the whole push for abortion came from,
00:07:02.860 especially in our communities, you know.
00:07:04.640 It's not something that we should just willy-nilly go along with.
00:07:06.640 Do your research.
00:07:07.400 Find things out for yourself.
00:07:08.260 Don't just go along with what the media and everything everyone's telling you
00:07:10.600 because history will say something different.
00:07:13.480 And that's the crazy thing is,
00:07:14.680 I don't understand why people don't freak out about this information.
00:07:18.580 Like, and it's the same people running the organizations.
00:07:21.120 Like, it's not like it's a new people.
00:07:23.320 And a lot of times the arguments you hear about abortion
00:07:25.940 are honestly a form of eugenics,
00:07:28.100 which indicate that people of lower IQ should be exterminated.
00:07:31.380 People that are poor should be exterminated. 1.00
00:07:33.040 I don't think people know that's what they're arguing.
00:07:35.740 But when they start to bring out,
00:07:37.320 well, she can't afford those kids. 1.00
00:07:38.860 Well, most people are richer today than they ever could have been in human history.
00:07:42.220 Poor people have air...
00:07:43.160 Well, not in the UK.
00:07:44.320 Y'all don't have air conditioning here.
00:07:46.080 But poor people have smartphones.
00:07:48.860 Nobody in history could have had that.
00:07:50.840 Right.
00:07:51.240 Okay, so in terms of the whole kind of discussion around abortion and that,
00:07:54.960 so I'm guessing you're American.
00:07:56.240 Yeah, I am.
00:07:56.980 Do you think there's a difference between how Americans view the conversation
00:07:59.900 and how British people view the conversation?
00:08:01.360 I think people are more left...
00:08:03.860 Like, people are a lot more pro-choice here, in my experience.
00:08:07.000 Like, people are more, like, angry.
00:08:09.080 More angry.
00:08:09.920 Yeah, about it.
00:08:10.660 Like, when I bring this sign out, I'm, like, more scared here.
00:08:13.240 Oh, really?
00:08:14.800 I'm not.
00:08:15.400 I mean, it's fine.
00:08:16.160 But, like, it's just...
00:08:17.080 I find that, like, there's more people that agree with me in the U.S.
00:08:20.920 Interesting.
00:08:21.440 Interesting.
00:08:21.980 It depends where you are, though.
00:08:23.100 If I went to L.A., that would probably be a different...
00:08:24.920 Absolutely.
00:08:25.360 Absolutely.
00:08:26.000 I mean, again, I think the whole kind of thing with pro-choice and pro-life is a bit...
00:08:30.900 Again, even to me, that's a bit skewed, because pro-choice is, okay, everyone should have
00:08:34.560 a choice in life, I suppose.
00:08:36.180 Everyone should have a choice to do whatever they want, right?
00:08:38.620 But, and then you've got pro-life is basically saying, I want these children to live.
00:08:43.640 And I don't know.
00:08:44.200 I feel like it's not exactly fair, because if you're pro-life, it's like, oh, you're
00:08:47.880 the most extreme person ever.
00:08:49.380 We cancel you.
00:08:50.240 We put you out of any sort of, like, civil discourse.
00:08:53.260 But then if you're pro-choice, you can be pro-choice, but for the most part, still want
00:08:56.840 the child to live on most occasions.
00:08:59.020 So you can actually be pro-choice, but have more in common with someone who's pro-life
00:09:03.020 than someone who's really, like, oh, pro-abortion, yeah, get it, get it, get it all the time.
00:09:07.300 So I feel like even that is still a bit skewed.
00:09:10.000 I don't think it's a fair point to kind of, you know...
00:09:13.220 You know what's a crazy stat, too?
00:09:14.640 Do you know when abortion's legal here?
00:09:16.780 When or why?
00:09:17.700 Like, how long?
00:09:18.840 How long?
00:09:19.720 It's not been that long.
00:09:20.800 I believe in Northern Ireland is still not legal.
00:09:22.560 No, I meant, like, how long, like, far along I can get an abortion in a pregnancy.
00:09:26.160 Oh.
00:09:26.560 I actually really enjoyed talking to these two people because they were just very open
00:09:34.200 to, like, listening and learning, and I really enjoy conversations where I feel like I'm learning
00:09:39.580 from them, they're learning from me.
00:09:40.960 We're both open to different ideas, and it's not just a heated debate or, you know, I believe
00:09:46.740 what I believe regardless of any facts, data, or statistics.
00:09:49.400 For 24 weeks.
00:09:52.160 Yeah, 20.
00:09:52.580 So that's what?
00:09:53.360 How many months is that?
00:09:54.300 Six months.
00:09:55.340 Oh.
00:09:55.800 So, do you know the earliest child that survived birth?
00:09:59.020 Like, survived a...
00:09:59.920 Probably, like, four or five months or something like that?
00:10:02.080 Yeah, 21 weeks, and it's legal up to 24.
00:10:04.340 Yeah, see...
00:10:05.080 So some of these kids, like, could hypothetically survive.
00:10:08.020 Yeah, it could be real living people, breathing people.
00:10:11.900 So that, to me, again, I can't...
00:10:13.520 After you saying that, I can't pretend like that sits right with me.
00:10:15.880 It doesn't, and I don't think a lot of people, knowing five months are long, six months are
00:10:19.980 long, then you terminate the pregnancy.
00:10:21.860 Only in situations where the mom, the mother could die.
00:10:24.740 Most pro-lifers would agree with when it's the life of the mother.
00:10:28.180 Most pro-lifers would agree.
00:10:29.520 I can understand that.
00:10:29.860 I can understand that.
00:10:30.680 But if there's not a true health risk going on, I would really struggle to find peace
00:10:36.420 with somebody doing that.
00:10:37.360 Many of you know I was just banned on TikTok, and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this
00:10:43.900 platform.
