Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 289 ｜ Trump vs. Biden 2020： Abortion

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend. So I've

00:00:15.940 got a really scary, crazy fact to tell you. There are, including today, 12 Mondays. Only

00:00:24.880 12 Mondays until Election Day. I was looking at my calendar and I was counting the Mondays for the

00:00:31.740 reason that I'm about to tell you. And I could not believe it. I just kept counting. I went right

00:00:36.480 past 12 and I said, wait, wait, wait, I've got to back up November 3rd. Oh my goodness. There's

00:00:41.280 only 12 Mondays until Election Day. So what I'm going to do until Election Day every Monday is I

00:00:47.360 going to go through one issue and I am going to compare Trump and Pence versus Biden and Harris.

00:00:55.860 And today we are going to talk about abortion. In the future, I will talk to you about the other

00:01:00.540 issues that matter to me. And I will make a case for why I think they should matter to you,

00:01:05.740 especially if you are a Christian. So today we'll talk about the issue of protecting unborn life,

00:01:10.700 which is paramount for me, the cohesion of the family. So that means any policy that encourages

00:01:15.720 or discourages the strength and togetherness of the nuclear family. That's of particular interest

00:01:20.860 to me. That's a subject we'll be talking about on a future Monday. We'll be talking about religious

00:01:25.480 liberty. I will also lump together other First Amendment issues as well on that episode, like

00:01:31.860 free speech. We'll be talking about school choice. We'll be talking about foreign policy,

00:01:36.060 especially in regards to China and why that's important and how the two tickets compare.

00:01:41.160 I will be talking about impartial and righteous justice. This includes the actions of the DOJ.

00:01:47.260 It includes policing. It includes law and order. It includes policies that affect our prison system

00:01:52.400 and how prisoners, criminals and victims are treated. We'll be talking about the economy,

00:01:57.540 especially as it pertains to small businesses and entrepreneurship and how the two sides and

00:02:02.440 their policies match up. We'll be talking about the Second Amendment. We'll be talking about

00:02:06.540 immigration. We will also talk about science and truth. So that means I am going to prioritize,

00:02:13.640 I'm going to prioritize the issue of objective reality and believing in science. And as you guys

00:02:20.340 know, I'm going to lean toward the politicians that acknowledge biological reality. And so we will be

00:02:26.300 talking about those things and we will be talking about health care as well. And there will be,

00:02:31.360 I think that leaves a couple more Mondays that are still available. And I haven't decided

00:02:34.860 what issues we are going to talk about. You already know where I'm coming from. So I'm not hiding that

00:02:40.940 from you guys. If you have followed me for any amount of time, if you have listened to my podcast

00:02:44.720 for any amount of time, you know that I'm a conservative evangelical who voted for Donald

00:02:49.020 Trump in 2016. But you also know that I've been critical of Donald Trump when needed. There are indeed,

00:02:56.020 as you guys know, things about Trump that I think are worth criticizing. There are things that I wish

00:03:01.460 that he didn't say. There are things that I wish that he didn't do. And I am totally fine with

00:03:07.360 criticizing him and holding him accountable for the things that I think that he needs to be

00:03:11.860 held accountable for. But you guys also know that he and his administration represent the values,

00:03:18.980 represent the policies that I think are best for the country. And so we distinguish between Trump's

00:03:25.900 personality and the policies that he and his administration represent. And by the way, I just

00:03:31.020 want to make a side note. Both sides do this. So the Democratic side, they point to Trump and the

00:03:36.320 things that he has said and the things that he has done. And they say, look, he doesn't represent any

00:03:40.660 good values at all. He said and done all of these stupid and bad things and look at his past. And we

00:03:48.160 over here say, yeah, you know, that's true. And I'm not going to deny that I don't like some of the

00:03:52.040 things that he has said and done. I'm certainly not electing a savior. I'm not even necessarily

00:03:56.960 electing a role model. And while it is ideal to have a president who represents all the values and

00:04:03.560 the morals and the decency and the tact that you want him to, policies affect people's lives much

00:04:09.720 more than Trump's tweets do and much more than his personality does and much more than his gaffes do.

00:04:15.320 And yet on the other side, they say the same thing and they don't recognize that they are making

00:04:21.760 the same justifications for Biden that we are making for voting for Donald Trump. And yet they're

00:04:26.800 pointing fingers to us saying, how can you vote for this guy? You are voting for him, basically

00:04:31.300 saying that racism is OK, saying that sexism is OK. All of these things that they accuse Donald Trump

00:04:37.300 of due to sometimes decontextualized quotes, sometimes just complete speculation. And sometimes

00:04:45.040 it's actually true. The things that he says are not wise, but they point fingers at him and they say,

00:04:49.680 how can you be OK with this? And yet they don't point the same fingers at Biden, who has made

00:04:54.500 several gaffes, especially recently, that have been completely derogatory towards black people,

00:04:59.160 saying that all black people think the same, unlike Hispanic people, saying that if you don't vote for

00:05:03.980 him, then you ain't black. I mean, he's made a lot of gaffes recently and just throughout his political

00:05:11.500 history. Remember, several years ago when he was campaigning against Mitt Romney alongside Barack Obama,

00:05:18.760 he said to a group of black people that Mitt Romney is going to put y'all back in chains.

00:05:23.440 I mean, how condescending can you possibly be? And of course, a lot of progressives,

00:05:27.660 a lot of people on the left also don't like his record on criminal justice and how, quote,

00:05:33.520 tough on crime he was in the 90s and even before that. So you are also turning past all of the things

00:05:42.820 that you could accuse Biden of doing that you could characterize as racist. You are also overlooking

00:05:50.800 the fact that he was accused by one of his staffers, Tara Reid, of sexually assault, of sexually

00:05:56.120 assaulting her. You are also looking past the many accusations of sexual harassment and you are looking

00:06:02.440 past the fact that he is in cognitive decline. So we can just both, can we just both recognize for a

00:06:08.440 second, that both of us are looking past some flaws that both of our candidates have and we are

00:06:16.340 accepting the fact that their administration is going to represent policies that we believe in.

00:06:22.620 I just think it's highly hypocritical to say that conservatives are doing that with their candidate,

00:06:27.340 but the Democrats aren't doing that with their candidate. We both are to a degree. Now,

00:06:31.680 I personally believe that Democrats are actually doing that more than Republicans are in regards to Trump.

00:06:36.300 But let's just agree with the fact that neither of us have perfect candidates. Like, if we drew up a

00:06:44.000 candidate, we would probably, a lot of us, maybe choose someone differently on both sides, perhaps.

00:06:50.520 But we are both going to vote for the person that we believe is going to implement policies,

00:06:57.920 vouch for policies that we think are best for the country. So let's just acknowledge that both sides

00:07:03.640 are doing that, that any accusations coming from the left to the right saying that you're ignoring all

00:07:08.440 of these character flaws and gaffes and Trump. Well, so are you. So are you. And you are ignoring

00:07:13.020 very real accusations of sexual assault from one of his staffers, not when he was a young guy,

00:07:19.560 but while he was a senator. So let's just acknowledge that fact, okay? We're voting for the policies.

00:07:26.420 We're voting for the administration. We're voting for the judges and the justices that are going to be

00:07:30.740 nominated. Let's just acknowledge that. So all of that said, I just wanted to go down that rabbit

00:07:36.540 trail. You guys know where I'm coming from, and I'm not trying to hide that fact. I believe that

00:07:43.580 conservative principles and conservative policies are best for every demographic, for every socioeconomic

00:07:48.800 class, for every ethnicity in the country. And so that is why I stand behind them. And so I am not 0.89

00:07:56.520 going to approach these 12 Mondays coming up as someone who doesn't have that perspective. However,

00:08:03.480 however, my goal is to give you the best and most comprehensive assessment of these issues that I

00:08:11.500 possibly can. My desire is not to give you half-truths. It is not to exaggerate, even though

00:08:16.520 you know from the top that I don't support Biden or Harris. Know that I am going to try to do my best

00:08:24.180 to represent them accurately and explain as well as I can why I cannot vote for them. So if you

00:08:30.800 listen to this and there is something that I say that is factually incorrect, then I want you to

00:08:37.220 tell me. You have to articulate why it's factually incorrect. You have to actually point me to the

00:08:41.900 source that tells me it's factually incorrect. I'm not just talking about a different opinion than

00:08:46.280 mine. You can share that with me too. But if you tell me something that is factually incorrect

00:08:51.180 that I say or a description that I give, then I want you to tell me why I'm wrong, to point me to

00:08:57.040 the source that proves that I'm wrong. And then I will correct myself on air because I do not. My

00:09:02.820 desire is not to lie. It is not to cover up the truth. It is not to manipulate you. It is not to

00:09:07.760 deceive you. That is not how I want to present these cases. Even knowing who I am, what I believe,

00:09:14.860 what my worldview is, and my plans to vote for Donald Trump, still my desire is to give you the

00:09:20.820 most factual rendering of these issues and of the positions that I possibly can. That is being charitable

00:09:28.040 where I can, but also being harsh where I have to. And on this particular subject, on abortion, there's

00:09:34.420 going to be a lot of harshness. And I'm just going to warn you, it's going to be a little bit graphic. I know

00:09:38.860 we talked a lot about this on Friday too, but it bears repeating. And because this is the first

00:09:44.260 Monday in this series, I have to talk about abortion first because it is my first priority. 0.96

00:09:49.420 It is at top of mind whenever I am looking at a politician and whenever I am considering my vote.

00:09:57.160 So it's going to be a lot today. And I don't have a whole lot of charity to give to Biden and Harris

00:10:03.720 on this subject simply because there isn't any there. There's no benefit of the doubt to offer

00:10:11.940 on this particular subject. But in the future, where I can offer that charity, where I can offer

00:10:16.920 that benefit of the doubt, I promise I will. My desire isn't to fear monger. Now that doesn't mean 0.99

00:10:20.780 that you won't be afraid, but my desire isn't to purposely, emotionally manipulate you or anything

00:10:26.000 like that. I am going to try to be as factual as I possibly can. And also, because this is a Christian

00:10:31.400 podcast, I'm going to try to give you a biblical perspective of things as well. I'm mostly talking

00:10:36.740 to Christian women, and I am going to make the case for voting for Trump and Pence, at least from 0.77

00:10:45.180 my perspective. I understand there are a lot of people who are still going to disagree with me.

00:10:50.100 I'm just going to lay out the truth. I'm going to lay out the facts. I'm going to lay out what both

00:10:54.420 sides think, and then my view of these things in a biblical perspective, as I said.

00:11:09.540 So before I say why I care about abortion and why I believe Christians should care about abortion, 1.00

00:11:15.740 let's just talk again very plainly about what abortion is. Abortion purposely kills a living baby. 0.99

00:11:23.340 It really is that simple. There is no philosophical or moral nuance to add to that. Now, if you are a

00:11:31.760 pro-choice person, maybe your friend sent you this episode and you're listening with bated breath and

00:11:36.740 you're already mad, you are already frustrated, and you are anticipating your disagreement with me,

00:11:41.740 you probably take issue with describing abortion how I just described it. And I understand you would

00:11:48.200 prefer me to say something like zygote or fetus to be more, you might say, scientific or accurate,

00:11:54.380 but a zygote or a fetus is a baby in the same way that an infant is a child. Infancy is a stage of

00:12:03.100 childhood, just as being a zygote or a fetus are stages in the life of a baby. So no, these are not

00:12:10.220 inaccurate words that I'm using. And it's also not inaccurate to say fetus or zygote when they're used

00:12:16.500 in the correct way when talking about the correct stage in a pregnancy. So I have no problem with

00:12:21.380 people using those words, even if they don't say baby, but realize that they are typically words

00:12:28.580 that are used by pro-choice activists, not for the sake of accuracy, not for the sake of being

00:12:33.720 scientific, but in an effort to sanitize and dehumanize. The word baby immediately elicits

00:12:40.540 emotions and for most people, some sort of compassion, some sort of soft heartedness.

00:12:47.220 So in order to make abortion more palatable, that term, the term baby is typically avoided

00:12:55.280 by abortion activists. You will notice on websites like Planned Parenthood, they won't say any of these

00:13:01.580 words at all, actually. Instead, they use terms like pregnancy tissue or just tissue. Some websites

00:13:07.400 will say like the contents of the uterus. This is a way of completely disregarding what the procedure

00:13:13.980 actually is and who is involved. The more they can make you forget about or disregard the fact that

00:13:20.640 abortion isn't just a trip to the dentist, but is actually the intentional killing of a living baby,

00:13:26.540 the easier it is for them to market the procedure as empowerment, as autonomy, and as choice. The easier

00:13:32.680 it is for them to convince mothers who are often very vulnerable that they should get an abortion,

00:13:39.940 that it's no big deal, and then they can take their money. It is the same reason why you cannot

00:13:45.120 get an abortion activist or even an abortion provider to tell you specifically, at least publicly,

00:13:50.840 what happens in an abortion. They refuse to describe the procedure. I sat next to the head of the Planned

00:13:58.240 Parenthood in St. Louis when I was testifying before Congress last November, and the congressman kept

00:14:05.060 pressing her to say, what exactly happens in an abortion? How do you accomplish an abortion? And she 0.87

00:14:10.960 would not do it. She wouldn't describe the procedure that she believes is just no big deal. That alone

00:14:18.360 should just give you pause. It should just make you wonder when the people who advocate for a procedure

00:14:24.240 won't even tell you how it works or exactly specifically what happens in the procedure,

00:14:30.440 not just to the woman, not just to the uterus, but to the baby that is being killed. When they refuse to 0.96

00:14:36.200 acknowledge the scientific fact that abortion involves two human beings, when they rely on euphemisms

00:14:42.440 and emotionalism like reproductive freedom and things like abortion is healthcare and bodily autonomy,

00:14:48.320 that should tell you that what you're hearing is not science. It is propaganda.

00:14:53.900 propaganda. As the far leftist Noam Chomsky rightly said, the whole point of good propaganda is that

00:15:00.380 no one knows what it means because it doesn't mean anything. And that is true about phrases like

00:15:05.780 reproductive freedom or bodily autonomy. They are nonsense when it comes to things like abortion, which is

00:15:11.940 killing another human being. That's what abortion is. The abortion industry is propped up on propaganda. 0.99

00:15:18.760 It has been extremely clever, extremely effective in manipulating our lexicon in their favor to make

00:15:28.240 it sound like somehow killing babies in the womb is the moral and the righteous and the liberating and 0.72

00:15:33.720 the right choice. So since these pro-choice activists, though, logically, just to point this out,

00:15:41.120 pro-choice is pro-abortion. And I understand, again, if you consider yourself pro-choice that you 0.75

00:15:45.920 probably take issue with that. But if you are against a certain kind of atrocity, you are not

00:15:51.640 for the choice to do that thing. Like if you are against, as we all should be, if you are against

00:15:57.360 rape, if you are against murder, if you are against assault, if you are against anything that hurts

00:16:03.940 someone else, that hurts an innocent person, a victim, then you are not going to be for the choice

00:16:09.380 to do that thing unless you are actually for that thing. So pro-choice is another, again,

00:16:14.820 euphemism or sanitized way to say that you are pro the choice of abortion. You are pro-abortion. 0.96

00:16:20.820 No, maybe you're not the kind of person who celebrates abortion. Maybe you're not the kind

00:16:24.380 of person that's excited about abortion, but your position to vote for people that advocate for abortion

00:16:31.360 and the freedom of abortion is a pro-abortion position. It just is. Now, these pro-choice

00:16:38.880 activists, these pro-abortion activists, since they will not tell you what actually happens in an

00:16:47.040 abortion, what goes on in these procedures in the first, second, and third trimesters, I will do that

00:16:53.920 for you. Very rarely do you hear this. And I'm about to tell you it is, or I'm going, I'm telling you

00:16:59.980 now that it is about to be a little bit graphic, unfortunately. And I've done this several times

00:17:05.740 on my podcast, and I try to do it every couple months or so, just because I think it's important

00:17:11.700 for this to be pressed into our hearts and minds, this reality that is happening thousands of times

00:17:17.380 every day in this country. First trimester abortion is typically done by medication. Usually it is a

00:17:24.160 three-step process. The first pill kills the baby by blocking progesterone, which is the hormone

00:17:29.740 in a woman's body that keeps her pregnant. So if it blocks progesterone, that makes the uterus 1.00

00:17:34.340 basically unlivable for the unborn child. The unborn child is basically starved and is unable to live

00:17:41.740 because the medicine breaks down the lining of the uterus, making it impossible for the baby to

00:17:49.840 survive. A baby's heart starts beating, by the way, at latest six weeks. So we are talking about a

00:17:56.560 baby with a beating heart being killed chemically. The second pill that the mom takes expels the baby 0.84

00:18:01.980 from her uterus. Then she goes to the doctor to make sure the baby is out. If the baby isn't 0.66

00:18:08.580 completely out of her womb, then the doctor or the abortion provider, it's not always a doctor,

00:18:14.760 they will suction out the rest of the baby out of the uterus. Abortion in the second trimester. 0.99

00:18:21.220 Now, the second trimester is after 12 weeks. Sometimes between 12 and 15 weeks, a chemical

00:18:29.820 abortion is still possible. Now, I just want to remind you, for everyone who has never been

00:18:34.880 pregnant before, if you get an ultrasound at 10 weeks, you will see a baby with a head, eyes,

00:18:42.600 beating heart, arms and legs kicking and moving around. So for people who have never been pregnant

00:18:47.620 before, like you might just picture this kind of lump that is there until like 20 weeks and then

00:18:54.680 all of a sudden it looks like a baby. No, this looks like a baby very early on. Yes, that first

00:19:00.820 ultrasound that you get, they kind of look like a jelly bean, but they have that beating heart. The

00:19:05.600 next ultrasound that you get, it's typically around 11 or 12 weeks. You got a moving, kicking

00:19:11.680 around, tiny little baby flipping around. So that is the baby that we are talking about very often,

00:19:17.260 even in the first trimester, 10, 11 weeks being killed chemically, being basically poisoned or

00:19:23.940 starved out chemically. So we're not talking, not that it matters to me morally, but we're not talking

00:19:29.500 about just this clump of cells that abortion activists like to pretend that babies are. It's

00:19:36.320 never just a clump of cells, but even babies in the first trimester, they look like babies by the end of

00:19:43.880 the trimester. But by the second trimester, they are significantly bigger. And so it is much more

00:19:49.080 difficult to kill them through a medical abortion or a chemical abortion. So what happens is something

00:19:55.740 typically called a DNE, a dilation and evacuation. The abortionist dilates the cervix, inserts something 1.00

00:20:04.320 called liminaria to dry up the amniotic fluid in the uterus, which is what the baby needs to survive.

00:20:10.120 Then the baby is either sucked out with a vacuum, or if the baby is too big to be sucked out in the

00:20:17.180 vacuum, so probably around 15 weeks, she will be dismembered with forceps. So if the skull is too 0.85

00:20:23.800 big, so they start taking out the arms and the legs by dismembering this baby with forceps. If the 0.57

00:20:28.560 skull is too big to fit through the cervix, the abortionist will actually crush the skull with the 1.00

00:20:33.880 forceps to be able to remove this baby from the womb. Now, if the baby is big enough to live

00:20:40.820 independently from the mother, they have to, quote, ensure fetal demise is what they call it in a

00:20:45.900 different way. They first have to take a needle that is filled with a chemical mixture, sodium chloride,

00:20:51.960 and they go through the woman's abdomen into the baby's heart or umbilical cord. This poisons the baby 0.93

00:20:58.040 and causes her to have a heart attack and die. Now, this is a very tricky procedure because babies at

00:21:03.680 this gestation age are moving a lot and they can feel pain. So instinctively, the baby flinches at

00:21:10.260 the prick of the needle, naturally tries to move away from the needle. And so the doctor has to make

00:21:17.320 sure that the needle goes straight into the heart, straight into the umbilical cord. They might just

00:21:22.800 fill the amniotic fluid with this poison so the baby eventually dies. But this is supposed to cause

00:21:28.620 a heart attack so that the baby dies. After the baby is killed, he or she is then removed. This is

00:21:35.940 typically the same procedure for third trimester abortions as well. I understand people say,

00:21:41.840 oh, well, that's so rare. Most abortions are done in the first trimester. Sure, most abortions are done 0.96

00:21:47.840 in the first trimester. One, that doesn't make it right. Number two, there are abortions that exist 1.00

00:21:54.200 that happen in the second trimester, in the third trimester, every day, every year. And so when people

00:22:01.920 say, well, it's typically for, you know, the health of the mother, it's typically for the health of the

00:22:07.800 child, they found out that the child isn't going to be viable. Tell me, tell me the justification

00:22:12.760 that you make for murder in any other circumstance outside of the womb. Why is murder justified just

00:22:19.060 for unborn babies in a way that we don't justify it towards babies outside of the womb? Because

00:22:23.760 they're voiceless, because they're defenseless, just because they're located in the mother's womb. 0.97

00:22:29.020 In the third trimester, there is no medical reason for a woman to have an abortion for her health 0.98

00:22:33.840 because a baby is viable after 24 weeks, has a hard time surviving at 24 weeks, but up to 28 weeks,

00:22:40.600 that baby has a really good chance. Or after 28 weeks, that baby has a really good chance of

00:22:45.000 surviving outside the womb. So if a mom is sick, if there's something wrong with the mom, anytime 0.95

00:22:49.880 after 24 weeks, even probably a little bit before that, you deliver the baby. If you need to get the

00:22:55.680 baby out, you need to get the baby out. You don't have to kill the baby. Either way, the baby's coming

00:22:59.520 out. So why would you have to kill the baby, which is often even more dangerous for the mother

00:23:05.180 instead of just delivering the baby? So this myth saying that sometimes babies have to be aborted

00:23:11.420 after 24 weeks after that far along in the second trimester for the health of the mother, it's just

00:23:16.820 a lie. It's a complete and a total lie. Abortion provider Leroy Carhart explained how he performs

00:23:23.640 third trimester abortions by injecting the poison digoxin into the baby's heart and inducing labor a few 0.59

00:23:30.680 days later so that by the time the dead, limp baby exits the mother's womb, he is like, quote,

00:23:37.920 meat in a crockpot. Infamously, abortionist Kermit Gosnell admitted to delivering full-term viable babies

00:23:47.160 by inducing labor and then snipping their spinal cords as they were exiting the birth canal. So we're

00:23:55.740 talking about babies that can feel pain. By the way, a baby can feel pain early in the second

00:24:02.860 trimester, possibly before that. You might remember a couple years ago, an abortionist in Illinois

00:24:08.080 died and upon his death, authorities found more than 2,000 fetal remains, 2,000 babies that he had

00:24:15.840 aborted. These people, they're not well. A renowned bioethicist, Peter Singer, acknowledges the logical

00:24:21.660 slope of pro-choice, pro-abortion arguments. He says that killing a newborn baby is justifiable, 0.80

00:24:30.420 this is what Peter Singer says, if the infant is not, quote, loved and cherished by their parents.

00:24:35.540 So the fact is, none of the arguments that are used to justify abortion is unique to pre-born babies.

00:24:41.780 Therefore, inevitably, they leave our society vulnerable to the dehumanization of not just

00:24:48.520 the pre-born, but of people outside of the womb as well. That's just the logical conclusion to all 0.71

00:24:54.120 of this eugenics. That's why the person who started Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, 0.96

00:24:59.440 was a eugenicist. It is still that way today. It is still the same logic. We have seen this logic

00:25:05.900 manifest itself in abortion-centric rhetoric and even legislation. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam

00:25:12.040 declared last year that a baby who survives an abortion would be, quote, delivered,

00:25:16.160 kept comfortable, and resuscitated if that is what the mother and the family desired. Otherwise,

00:25:22.500 you leave that baby off to the side to die cold and alone, struggling for breath, instinctively

00:25:29.440 reaching for his mother. Instead, Ralph Northam, the current governor of Virginia, said that you leave

00:25:36.080 the baby off to the side to die rather than giving it life-saving care. In 2005, a mother attempted to

00:25:44.500 undergo an abortion at 23 weeks gestation at EPOC Clinic in Orlando, Florida. She delivered her

00:25:51.620 living, moving son in a toilet. She begged the staff to help, and they not only refused to help,

00:25:57.260 but they turned away paramedics. She cradled her son and sang to him for 11 minutes until he died.

00:26:03.060 So Gloria Williams saw an abortion in 2006. She delivered her 23-week baby at GYN Diagnostic 0.95

00:26:11.660 Center in Halea, Florida. When he began breathing and moving, the owner of the clinic reportedly

00:26:17.580 quickly cut the umbilical cord and sealed the child in a biohazard bag still alive. Abortion clinic 0.68

00:26:24.240 owner Belkis Gonzalez cut the umbilical cord and zipped him into that biohazard bag. When Jill Stenak,

00:26:32.760 a former registered nurse, testified before the House Judiciary Committee working in the labor

00:26:37.560 labor and delivery ward of Christ Hospital in Oaklawn, Illinois, she described what it was like

00:26:43.640 to discover that babies who survived abortions were being placed in a utility closet to die.

00:26:48.960 She said this, quote,

00:26:50.720 I was traumatized and changed forever by my experience of holding a little abortion survivor 1.00

00:26:56.100 for 45 minutes until he died, a 21, 22-week-old baby who had been aborted because he had Down

00:27:02.800 Syndrome. Only six states require reporting of children who survive abortions. So that means

00:27:09.560 that this is happening a lot more than we know. The CDC estimates that between 2003 and 2014,

00:27:15.420 there were at least 143 babies who died after being born alive after an abortion procedure.

00:27:21.920 There is a significant probability, like I said, that that number is much higher. Republicans

00:27:27.140 presented the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act in the Senate. It criminalizes the failure

00:27:34.520 of an abortion provider to provide medical care to a baby who survives abortion. So it requires them

00:27:41.640 to treat that baby who survives an abortion just like they would any other patient. The bill was blocked

00:27:47.760 by 44 Democratic senators in the House of Representatives. Democratic leadership refused

00:27:52.700 Republicans' 80-plus requests to bring the bill to the floor. The attitude on the pro-abortion side

00:27:59.440 of this debate has shifted drastically in the past two decades from safe, legal, and rare, that's what

00:28:04.940 Hillary Clinton used to say, to on-demand through nine months without apology. That is the current

00:28:11.480 Democratic platform. Radical state abortion legislation presented under the guise of, quote,

00:28:16.260 reproductive health have been passed in states like New York, where it is now legal to kill a baby in

00:28:21.600 the womb until the point of birth as long as the reasoning for abortion falls under the qualification

00:28:26.860 of the, quote, life or health of the mother. Under Supreme Court case Doe v. Bolton, a life or health

00:28:34.460 can really mean anything. It can mean mental health. It can be emotional health. It can be has a bad

00:28:39.340 family situation. So read, for any reason in New York, if you want to get an abortion late in pregnancy,

00:28:46.380 it is legal to do so. And I know people say, oh, that is so rare. It doesn't matter that it's rare.

00:28:50.280 If it's so rare and we agree that it's grotesque, then let's criminalize it. Let's make sure that

00:28:55.660 it's not legal. In Illinois, the state legislature passed the Reproductive Health Act, which not only

00:29:01.360 strips pre-born babies of all gestational ages, of all of their legal rights, but also repeals the 0.98

00:29:06.760 state's Abortion Performance Refusal Act, which protected providers and hospitals who have moral

00:29:12.020 objections to abortion from performing them. So it forces them to do it even if they don't want to.

00:29:18.060 Last year, Virginia state legislator Kathy Tran pushed a bill that would allow abortion per her 0.99

00:29:24.160 own recorded admission in a video, even as a mother is in labor. Tran's bill brings into focus

00:29:33.620 the barbarism of lax abortion law, that it dehumanizes life inside the womb through all stages. America is

00:29:42.200 included on a list of only seven countries, including China and North Korea, to allow abortion after 20

00:29:47.640 weeks gestation after a child inside the womb, like I said, is known for sure to feel pain.

00:29:55.120 Organizations like Abortion AF, Shout Your Abortion, advocates for youth in the Creative Council at the

00:30:00.920 Center of Reproductive Rights claim to work to, quote, destigmatize and, quote, normalize abortion

00:30:06.920 to boost support of their movement. A piece published by New York Magazine in May titled,

00:30:11.120 Abortion is Morally Good argues for the full embrace of a woman's so-called right to choose at every stage 1.00

00:30:18.780 of pregnancy. An abortion rights organization in Texas created an advertisement for a billboard that 0.84

00:30:23.780 read abortion is self-care. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the country.

00:30:30.540 According to its own reports, it's responsible for ending the lives of over 300,000 children of the

00:30:36.380 over 900,000 children that are aborted every year. The organization recently fired their CEO,

00:30:42.760 Leanna Nguyen, because as she explained in a New York Times op-ed, she, quote, did not prioritize 0.99

00:30:48.540 abortion enough. Democratic Pennsylvania lawmaker Wendy Ullman made headlines last year when she 0.99

00:30:55.120 described an early miscarriage as nothing more than, quote, mess on a napkin. While her comments

00:31:01.420 did draw outrage from both sides, thankfully, if we're honest, her rhetoric, her logic is totally 0.99

00:31:07.200 consistent with the current mainstream Democratic platform. There are mothers, we should acknowledge

00:31:13.260 this, who face very grave challenges when it comes to childbearing, when it comes to child rearing.

00:31:20.240 This is due to their socioeconomic status, their relationship status, sometimes their immigration

00:31:25.320 status or the status of their health care coverage. There are disparities between the

00:31:31.180 ethnicities when it comes to birth. The CDC found that the United States' already poor record on

00:31:36.540 maternal health is especially bleak for Black women who are 3.3 times more likely to suffer a pregnancy

00:31:42.800 related death than white women. Furthermore, there are circumstances such as rape and incest that may

00:31:49.920 make continuing the pregnancy feel impossible. Pro-lifers do not ignore these facts. We simply do not

00:31:56.360 believe abortion is the answer to them. These are all issues that I care about, that other pro-lifers

00:32:03.340 care about. We hear this myth constantly that we're just pro-birth, and that could not be further from

00:32:09.860 the truth. We talked about this on Friday. Pro-lifers have dedicated, we dedicate our time,

00:32:16.360 our energy, our resources, thousands and thousands of dollars every year to helping moms in need

00:32:21.360 with food, with clothing, with baby items, with shelter, with parenting classes. The centers for

00:32:26.660 these moms in crisis are not run by abortion activists. They are run, in large part, by pro-life

00:32:33.000 Christians. The left tries to equate caring for moms and caring for these babies with agreeing with all of

00:32:39.500 their leftist policy prescriptions, and that's just a false equation. I'm not buying that. Like, I will

00:32:45.020 believe that you care for moms in crisis when you reach into your own pockets to help them, rather than

00:32:50.140 relying on bureaucrats, on the government to do the job that you should be doing. That is when I will

00:32:57.300 know that you care about the women that you claim to care about more than pro-lifers who are spending

00:33:03.420 all their time and energy and resources making sure that mothers and babies are cared for.

00:33:07.560 We want the best for women and their children. We are more than willing. I am more than willing. I can't

00:33:13.080 speak for everyone. I am more than willing to come to the table and discuss solutions to the

00:33:17.780 obstacles, to the disparities, to the travesties that are unfortunately being suffered by a lot of

00:33:25.040 women in this country that don't involve the solutions that I'm interested in, don't involve 1.00

00:33:32.720 pitting mothers against their babies. We simply believe that both of their lives are worth fighting 1.00

00:33:38.180 for. We believe that women and children in the womb deserve better than abortion. That is what 1.00

00:33:43.520 pro-lifers believe. God is very clear about this in his word. He is very clear about the value of all

00:33:50.560 human beings, including those he created with care in the womb. God tells Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1 5,

00:33:57.040 before I have formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you. That

00:34:02.360 tells us something very obvious. God is doing the formation of babies in the womb, that he is sovereign

00:34:08.260 over their lives, over their conception, over their formation, in their mother's womb. He knows

00:34:15.120 everything about every baby in utero. They matter. Baby lives matter. They matter to God, period.

00:34:23.300 Psalm 139, 13 through 16 says this,

00:34:26.100 For you formed my inward parts. You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you,

00:34:31.360 for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. My soul knows it very well.

00:34:36.140 My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of

00:34:41.540 the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance. In your book were created, were written, every one of

00:34:47.780 them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. God creates, God crafts.

00:34:54.200 He especially cares for babies in the womb. They are his creation. They are his gift. Every time we see

00:35:02.080 reproduction in the Bible, every time we see a woman becoming pregnant, it is seen as a blessing.

00:35:09.960 Jesus, of course, said, let the little children come to me. He cares for the most vulnerable. It's

00:35:15.140 just amazing that the people who say that they advocate for the voiceless, they talk about Jesus

00:35:19.540 coming for justice and Jesus coming for the oppressed. Do you not see that the most vulnerable,

00:35:23.940 the most defenseless, the most voiceless, the most oppressed class in our country are unborn babies?

00:35:31.100 Please. Jesus cares about them. God created them. He crafted them. He cares for them. In Exodus 21,

00:35:39.260 22 through 25, God demands the death penalty for people who even accidentally hit a pregnant woman

00:35:45.040 and caused the baby inside of her to die. So that simply shows that God sees that life as equal in

00:35:50.900 value to any other life outside of the womb. A lot of people quote a passage in Numbers to say that

00:35:55.740 justifies abortion somehow. It doesn't. I encourage you to go to gotquestions.org and you can actually

00:36:02.260 ask that specific question about that passage in Numbers and what it's actually talking about,

00:36:06.600 and it will explain it very well. Abortion is murder. It's murder to God. And if we had any

00:36:11.920 decency as a society and in our laws, it would be murder to us too. The Bible is clear that thou shalt

00:36:17.960 not murder. But unfortunately, seven men in 1973 decided that somewhere deep and hidden in the cracks

00:36:23.860 in the crevices of the Constitution, there is a secret, magical, unarticulated right to abortion.

00:36:30.380 It's just interesting how no uterus, no opinion apparently doesn't apply to the Supreme Court

00:36:36.260 justices that decided on Roe v. Wade. So that's interesting. So what does all of this mean about

00:36:42.140 my position on all of this? That means that I want pro-life Congress people who will actually work

00:36:48.260 toward ensuring our tax dollars are no longer helping fund Planned Parenthood, who make plenty

00:36:55.300 of money on their own. They don't need the millions and millions, the hundreds of millions of dollars

00:36:59.620 that they get from taxpayers every year. We unfortunately don't have a whole lot of Republicans

00:37:04.440 that have the spine to do that right now. That is something that I care about. That's something that

00:37:10.780 I want and someone that I vote for. I want an administration who protects the Hyde Amendment,

00:37:15.300 which gives at least a little protection for the taxpayer by saying that our money can't directly

00:37:21.000 fund an abortion, although there have always been ways, unfortunately, that abortion clinics have

00:37:26.100 gotten around that. It means that I want pro-life federal judges and justices, which are nominated

00:37:31.260 by the president, approved by the Senate, who will ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade. Overturning Roe v.

00:37:37.660 Wade would not abolish abortion. It would allow the state to decide whether or not they're going to

00:37:42.640 allow abortion. So right now, because of Roe v. Wade, a state cannot ban abortion outright. And there

00:37:49.360 are also, because of other Supreme Court cases, limits to the restrictions they can impose. But

00:37:55.400 the people of a state should be allowed to decide if they want to treat abortion differently than they

00:38:01.660 treat other kinds of murder by allowing it. That is what it means when you say you want to overturn

00:38:08.400 Roe v. Wade. I want the end of abortion forever. But before that happens, I want to ensure that my 1.00

00:38:13.660 tax dollars don't support it. And I want it to go back into the hands of the states. Is that ever

00:38:17.980 going to happen? I don't know. But I want to elect people that will make that more likely. According to

00:38:24.460 Pew Research, Trump has confirmed 194 currently active judges. That is 24% of all active judges. The

00:38:31.380 judges nominated by Barack Obama account for 39% of all active judges. So you see, elections have

00:38:37.980 major, major consequences. Trump has nominated constitutionalists for the most part, and Obama,

00:38:43.580 for the most part, nominated leftist activists. The Trump administration changed a Title 10 rule

00:38:49.300 that makes it harder for abortion providers to receive federal funds. NPR said this, quote,

00:38:54.540 the Trump administration has issued its final draft of a rule that makes sweeping changes to Title 10,

00:39:00.620 the federal program that provides birth control and other reproductive health services, a.k.a.

00:39:05.620 abortion, to millions of low-income Americans. So under the new rule, this is according to the HHS

00:39:12.200 website, if a woman is pregnant, a Title 10 provider may provide a list of comprehensive health

00:39:18.360 care providers, including prenatal care providers, including some but not the majority who perform

00:39:23.580 abortion as a part of a comprehensive health care practice. However, this list cannot serve as a

00:39:29.860 referral for nor identify those who provide abortion. So under that new rule, any organization

00:39:36.060 that provides or refers patients specifically for abortions is ineligible for Title 10 funding. That is

00:39:42.800 a really good thing. So Planned Parenthood decided that they no longer wanted to receive Title 10 funding,

00:39:49.760 which is really good news. So good job to the Trump administration. This is just meant to maximize

00:39:56.040 choices and information for women rather than funding organizations like Planned Parenthood,

00:40:00.700 who often present abortion as the only or the best option with very little information to their

00:40:06.040 clientele. This is not a gag rule. As a lot of them have said, it's simply ensuring that women actually 1.00

00:40:11.640 get all the information that they need. So this is partly defunding these abortion clinics, which 0.90

00:40:16.500 obviously is a very good thing. Now, Susan B. Anthony lists tracks what the what the president and his

00:40:25.940 administration have done in the way of pro-life wins. And here are some of the things he's appointed

00:40:30.500 pro-life judges. Like I said, permitted states to defund Planned Parenthood of Title 10 funds like I just

00:40:37.700 described. He stopped tax dollars funding abortion overseas. President Trump not only reinstated the Mexico

00:40:44.700 city policy, but expanded it to the new protecting life in global health assistance program. This new

00:40:50.780 policy ensures that our tax dollars are protected from funding the abortion industry overseas across

00:40:56.040 all global health spending. This is something that Democrats, every Democratic president has repealed,

00:41:02.660 has overturned the Mexico city policy since Ronald Reagan. But Republicans always reinstate it and

00:41:10.060 President Trump reinstated that. And then he also expanded it. He defunded the pro-abortion UNFPA.

00:41:16.780 The UNFPA, according to Susan B. Anthony list, has long been complicit in China's oppressive

00:41:21.540 population control activities, and they help fund abortion and support abortion around the world.

00:41:27.740 The Trump administration required health insurance companies to disclose if plans cover abortion.

00:41:33.420 So that's important for people to know when you are signing up for an insurance company or an

00:41:37.520 insurance policy to know what you are essentially subsidizing. There is a new rule issued by the

00:41:44.360 departments of HHS, Treasury and Labor that exempts private employers and educational institutions that

00:41:51.020 have sincerely held religious beliefs or moral objections against providing contraceptives or

00:41:57.040 abortifacient drugs. The previous administration, the Obama administration, they tried to make that

00:42:02.840 mandatory that even religious organizations had to cover birth control or abortifacient drugs that did

00:42:12.580 not align with their religious beliefs. But Trump's HHS, their new rule exempted these religious

00:42:19.680 organizations from doing so. Strong pro-life appointments to key positions, including Vice President Mike Pence,

00:42:25.480 Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. New Office for Conscience

00:42:31.320 Protection Protection at HHS. In May 2019, the Trump administration finalized new regulations to strengthen

00:42:36.780 enforcement of federal laws protecting the conscience rights of health care workers who do not want to

00:42:42.320 participate in abortion, allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funds. The Obama administration

00:42:49.880 attempted to prevent states from defunding Planned Parenthood of Medicaid dollars, issuing guidance claiming this may be a

00:42:57.080 violation of federal law. In January of 2018, the Trump administration rescinded this guidance, allowing states to

00:43:02.480 defund Planned Parenthood of Medicaid dollars as they see fit. Cut Planned Parenthood's tax funding by up to

00:43:08.220 $60 million, allowed Texas to fund a health program that does not send funds to abortion businesses, canceled huge

00:43:15.620 contract for taxpayer-funded experimentation with body parts of aborted babies. In June 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and

00:43:23.580 Human Services under Trump and the National Institutes of Health announced they would not renew a major

00:43:28.480 contract with the University of California, San Francisco to fund research using the body parts of aborted

00:43:34.400 babies. You would think that would be obvious, but of course, Democrats were not for that. Took action against

00:43:39.280 California for violating conscience protections. In January 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human

00:43:45.060 Services announced that it will take action against California for violating the Weldon Amendment by

00:43:50.260 discriminating against organizations that do not cover abortion in their health care plans. He clarified

00:43:56.080 that abortion is not a civil right. In June 2020, the Trump administration finalized a new rule to

00:44:02.740 clarify that the federal definition of sex discrimination under Obamacare, the ACA, does not

00:44:08.580 include abortion. Proposed last year, the new rule brings ACA regulations into compliance with longstanding

00:44:14.360 conscience protection laws. Of course, we know that he is also the first president to speak at the

00:44:19.940 March for Life. So as far as policies go, whatever he has ever thought personally about abortion,

00:44:25.660 because he was at one point pro-choice, as far as policies go, the Trump administration has been

00:44:31.540 extremely pro-life, even more pro-life than the Reagan administration. And that is saying a lot

00:44:36.720 because Reagan was probably the most personally pro-life president that we've ever had. And Donald

00:44:41.360 Trump policy-wise, his administration is the most pro-life anti-abortion administration that we have ever

00:44:48.800 had. Let's talk about quickly what Kamala Harris and what Joe Biden think of abortion. So Kamala 1.00

00:45:05.380 Harris has been touted now for the past few days as a conservative, as someone who is tough on crime, as

00:45:12.860 someone who is a moderate. That could not be further than from the truth. A 2019 YouGov study found that

00:45:20.640 according to her votes, she was the most liberal member of the Senate in 2019, even further to the

00:45:27.180 left than self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders. The most, according to her votes, liberal senator in

00:45:34.840 2019, she is not a moderate. There is a national review article titled Kamala Harris's abortion

00:45:42.160 absolutism by Alexandra DeSinctis. And it says this quote, she is without question, the most radically

00:45:49.440 pro-abortion candidate to run for president or vice president in the history of our country. As a

00:45:55.040 senator, Harris has co-sponsored the most aggressively pro-abortion piece of federal legislation ever

00:45:59.740 introduced, the Women's Health Protection Act, which would override state restrictions on abortions in

00:46:05.180 the last three months of pregnancy well after fetal viability. The bill would invalidate any state law

00:46:10.880 that prohibits, quote, abortion after fetal viability when, in the good faith medical judgment of the

00:46:15.700 treating physician, continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant woman's life or 0.68

00:46:20.900 health. Again, life or health, according to Doe v. Bolton, can mean anything related to emotional or

00:46:26.660 mental health. So again, that means for any reason. The article in National Review goes on,

00:46:33.380 Harris, it is worth noting, seems to have little problem with allowing newborns to die of neglect

00:46:38.440 should they survive an abortion procedure. She has twice voted against the Born Alive Abortion

00:46:43.860 Survivors Protection Act, which would require doctors to provide the same care to infants who survive

00:46:50.240 abortions as they would to any other newborn. The legislation would also make it impossible for states to

00:46:56.100 enact or enforce informed consent laws and waiting period requirements, which have often been upheld

00:47:02.820 by courts as permissible under our current abortion jurisprudence. So this legislation presented by

00:47:08.520 Kamala Harris would make it impossible for states to say, hey, if you're going to provide an abortion to 1.00

00:47:14.080 someone, you have to tell them what it is. You have to actually inform them of the procedure. You have

00:47:18.120 to actually give them their options. You have to give them a period of time to where they can think about

00:47:22.880 it. Kamala Harris wants to make that illegal so much for federalism. As the article says, there's an 1.00

00:47:29.360 article in The Federalist that says this, quote, David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical

00:47:35.220 Progress, released explosive undercover videos that led to House and Senate investigations. The 2016

00:47:40.860 removal of Planned Parenthood from the Texas state Medicaid program, the prosecution of tissue

00:47:46.320 procurement companies, needless to say, it was a poor PR moment for the single largest abortion 0.78

00:47:51.500 provider in the U.S. What David Daleiden found, of course, is that Planned Parenthood in California

00:47:57.940 is harvesting and selling aborted baby parts. In 2016, Kamala Harris launched an investigation. She 0.99

00:48:04.680 was attorney general of California on Daleiden, and the current attorney general saw the investigation

00:48:09.840 through. Daleiden was slapped with nine state felony charges, and a federal jury in San Francisco

00:48:15.440 delivered a $2.2 million verdict against Daleiden and fellow investigator Sandra Merritt for conspiring to

00:48:21.340 commit fraud and violating state and federal recording laws. In 2016, Daleiden's apartment was

00:48:26.920 raided, and the CMP said Harris's office seized video files from Daleiden's apartment, as well as

00:48:32.920 personal information. Of course, this should be, his speech should be protected by the First Amendment, but

00:48:38.280 apparently Harris doesn't care about that. She had a secret in-person meeting when she was a senator with

00:48:45.160 Planned Parenthood executives in Los Angeles, including witnesses in her investigation to discuss

00:48:50.460 issues in the investigation as part of Planned Parenthood's political agenda in California.

00:48:54.980 Two weeks later, Daleiden's home was raided by the California Department of Justice. So that is Kamala

00:49:01.580 Harris. Harris has called for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which, as we have already discussed,

00:49:07.400 protects taxpayers from being forced to fund abortion. She supports codifying Roe, which would prompt

00:49:13.340 Congress to establish an affirmative and statutory right to abortion, prohibiting states from enacting

00:49:18.640 restrictions. Harris also promotes a plan that would force states and localities to seek prior

00:49:23.740 approval and clearance through the U.S. Department of Justice before placing any limits, any limits or

00:49:29.720 restrictions whatsoever on abortion. So she believes that states should have to go through the Department

00:49:37.580 of Justice. And of course, when she is VP, I'm sure that she will unfortunately have much sway and

00:49:45.400 she will they will have to get approval from the Biden-Harris DOJ to place any limits or restrictions

00:49:54.480 on abortions. That is what Kamala Harris is for. She has received 100 percent rating from pro-abortion 1.00

00:50:00.580 group NARAL. She believes she has said that abortion is health care, but she has also said that health care

00:50:06.420 should be single payer, aka it should be paid for completely by the taxpayer. She doesn't believe

00:50:11.420 that we should have any private insurance at all. She actually said in a town hall when she was

00:50:17.260 campaigning back when she thought that she was going to become president, she said that, you know,

00:50:23.300 we should just cut through all of the stress of going through insurance companies and everyone should just

00:50:27.660 be on the same public plan as if as if going through bureaucracy, going through the government

00:50:35.420 is going to go more smoothly than going through a private health insurer. Just to remind you,

00:50:43.480 single payer health care is a terrible idea. We have done an entire episode labeled or titled health

00:50:48.980 care. We will do another one in the lead up to the election, but you don't get any choice. You don't get

00:50:53.920 any choice in your quality of care. You don't get any choice in the kind of doctor that you want.

00:50:58.700 Everyone is brought down to the lowest common denominator and we are all on the same health

00:51:03.800 care. If so, if she believes that abortion is health care, that health care is a human right and

00:51:07.880 that health care should be paid for by the taxpayer and that we shouldn't have any private insurance.

00:51:12.280 Everyone is on single payer health care, which has always been a disaster, by the way.

00:51:17.640 Then that means that she believes in forcing you and I to pay for abortion, which we know.

00:51:23.920 Joe Biden, he is also for repealing the Hyde Amendment. He will fight to make sure that

00:51:28.980 even religious organizations are forced to cover abortion screenings and birth control,

00:51:33.520 just like Obama did, endorsed by NARAL, endorsed by Planned Parenthood. In 2006, he voted no to the

00:51:40.240 Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which would require abortion providers to inform parents

00:51:45.740 of minors that their child is attempting to get an abortion out of state. Extremely pro-abortion for a long

00:51:52.480 time. Last year, he was denied Holy Communion by a Catholic Church in South Carolina for his rabid,

00:51:58.780 radical stance on abortion. His administration, the justices, the judges that he nominates, the executive

00:52:05.400 orders that he issues will be radically, will be rabidly in support of making it as easy as possible

00:52:12.820 to slaughter unborn babies and as difficult as possible for states to place any common sense

00:52:18.160 restrictions on that. They will codify Roe v. Wade so that states will never be able to restrict

00:52:23.060 abortion in any way, and this will be celebrated. Let's not pretend that most of the left sees abortion 0.98

00:52:29.300 as some kind of necessary evil or some sad thing. It is a key part of their platform. It is why at

00:52:35.500 women's marches, people are wearing I Heart Abortion and Abortion AF t-shirts. And if you're not down with 0.53

00:52:41.820 that, if that's not you, if you are not down with the party and the platform that celebrates and glorify

00:52:48.180 baby murder, then maybe it's time to reconsider your political affiliation. I know what you're

00:52:55.460 thinking. You're thinking, what about XYZ with Republicans? What about Trump doing this? What about

00:52:59.420 what's happening at the border? What about social justice and racial justice and police brutality? We're

00:53:04.100 going to get to all of that. Don't you worry. Now, this is enough for me. Like, if this were the only

00:53:10.360 issue on the table, this would be enough for me at least not to vote for Democrats. I will never,

00:53:16.720 ever, ever vote for a politician or a party, Republican or Democrat, I don't care what letter

00:53:21.640 is by their name, who supports the slaughter of unborn babies. I just won't do it. It matters

00:53:28.660 too much to me. It matters too much to God. It is too grotesque and brutal to think that we allow that,

00:53:35.400 that there's an entire political party that celebrates that. And then there's another

00:53:40.600 political party that in large part, at least in Congress, is too spineless to do anything about

00:53:46.200 it. It's amazing. It's amazing. So again, as I've said before, you know, I love this country. I love

00:53:52.860 the values that we were founded upon. But you don't have to tell me that this country doesn't necessarily

00:53:57.460 mean liberty and justice for all when we are killing thousands of babies every day. I know it. And I am

00:54:02.340 always going to elect the person that believes in doing whatever we can and preventing that and

00:54:10.080 making that as illegal as possible. It's murder. Of course it should be illegal. Okay. That is it for

00:54:18.480 today. If you guys haven't purchased my book, you're not enough. And that's okay. Escaping the toxic

00:54:25.080 culture of self-love. Make sure you go to AllieBethStuckey.com book. You guys have been just so amazing in your
