Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 590 ｜ Democrats Are Now Openly Pro-Infanticide

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:00:01.760 This episode is brought to you by our friends at GoToRanchers.

00:00:07.160 That's GoToRanchers.com slash Allie. 1.00

00:00:18.060 Okay, today we are finally talking about the two pieces of legislation that you guys have

00:00:24.240 asked me to cover for a while now.

00:00:26.200 That is a Maryland bill, and that is a Colorado bill, both pertain to abortion. 0.76

00:00:33.300 These are Democrat bills that are pushing for abortion, and in some cases, yes, even

00:00:38.560 infanticide.

00:00:39.560 That is absolutely accurate.

00:00:41.740 The accusations that you've seen from pro-life organizations of perpetuating infanticide through

00:00:48.180 these pieces of legislation is true.

00:00:50.340 Unfortunately, it's not hyperbole.

00:00:52.000 If you've listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you know how passionate I

00:00:56.680 am about this subject, how much it just absolutely grieves me, and how I think that if anyone

00:01:03.280 with just a modicum of humanity inside of them, with just a bit of softness in their heart,

00:01:08.600 really thought about, really knew what abortion entails, what it actually is, that we are actually

00:01:14.020 discussing the murder, the intentional killing of innocent, defenseless babies, that you would

00:01:21.880 never be able to vote again for a politician that does not stand for actively getting rid

00:01:29.740 of abortion.

00:01:30.960 There would be no justification that you could find in your mind or heart to vote for someone

00:01:36.600 who advocates for abortion, or who calls it the right to choose, who calls it reproductive

00:01:41.440 justice, who says, well, the state just shouldn't be involved in these kinds of choices between

00:01:46.420 a doctor and a woman.

00:01:49.360 Bodily autonomy, all of these ridiculous euphemisms that people use to sanitize what abortion is, 0.83

00:01:55.160 which is the murder of children.

00:01:56.980 And what's amazing is that there are professing Christians who do.

00:02:00.820 There are actually professing Christians who say, well, let's just not throw the baby out

00:02:05.420 with the bathwater, let's just keep voting for these politicians who are actually for

00:02:10.440 legalized infanticide, and let's try to comfort ourselves by saying, oh, well, we can be pro-life

00:02:17.260 in other ways.

00:02:18.420 Being pro-life actually means being open borders.

00:02:21.580 Being pro-life means, you know, doing things privately, but not actually trying to legally ban

00:02:29.180 or prohibit abortions.

00:02:31.000 Well, no, that just tells me you don't actually believe in the right of a child.

00:02:35.420 To live because pro-life, the bare minimum of being pro-life is being anti-abortion.

00:02:42.740 That's the bare minimum qualification for being able to call yourself pro-life.

00:02:47.660 And you're not truly pro-life.

00:02:49.620 You're not truly anti-abortion unless you believe the bare minimum of that, which is 0.57

00:02:54.700 that children should have a legal right to not be murdered.

00:02:58.640 A legal right to not be murdered.

00:03:00.340 If you believe that abortion should not be prohibited by law, then you do not believe

00:03:05.340 that children inside the womb have a legal right to life.

00:03:08.220 And so you have to wrestle with the question, when does someone have a legal right to life

00:03:12.800 and why?

00:03:13.340 Why is the standard sometime after conception of someone's personhood and of someone's right

00:03:22.540 to life?

00:03:23.440 You need to think about that.

00:03:25.520 Unfortunately, the church has imbibed ridiculous propaganda that abortion, if you ban it, that

00:03:32.260 women are just going to have coat hanger abortions in the alley. 1.00

00:03:36.500 And that's not really pro-life and ridiculous assertions that, well, actually abortions go

00:03:44.260 down because of Democrat policies, not because of Republican policies.

00:03:48.320 We have debunked that correlation causation fallacy on this podcast before I can link it.

00:03:54.300 I think we did that a couple of years ago in the lead up to the election.

00:03:58.220 There's just so little thoughtfulness on this subject when it comes to Christians and not 1.00

00:04:03.620 just on the subject, but on subjects in general, I think Christians just find themselves just 1.00

00:04:08.260 floating on the waves of whatever mainstream narrative is out there, and they allow the

00:04:17.180 world to tell them what compassion and what love looks like when they serve the God who

00:04:21.320 is love, and he says that life inside the womb matters, and that murder is murder, and

00:04:27.280 that abortion is murder.

00:04:29.060 If we know anything about God, it's that he hates abortion.

00:04:31.760 If we know anything at all about what love is, what compassion is, what justice is, what

00:04:37.280 defending the vulnerable is, then it is that abortion is wrong, and that the Bible prohibits

00:04:43.960 abortion, not just in what it says not to do, thou shalt not murder, but also in what it

00:04:48.820 says is, what it says is good.

00:04:51.560 And part of what we see in Psalm 139 is that life inside the womb is made in God's image,

00:04:58.460 and that it is an egregious sin, an egregious crime, I think it should be, to kill that

00:05:03.880 life inside the womb.

00:05:05.180 But when you have a different worldview, when you have the worldview of progressive secularism

00:05:10.060 that says that our rights do not come from God, that our rights actually come from the

00:05:13.840 government, because the government is the highest authority, and therefore we get to say when

00:05:19.240 a person has rights and when they don't, not based on any standard of what they've done,

00:05:26.060 not any crime that they have committed, and even criminals have rights, but you do have

00:05:30.140 some rights taken away from you when you commit a crime that puts you in jail.

00:05:34.640 But the secular progressive worldview says that we get to give and take away rights, the government,

00:05:39.880 the state gets to give and take away rights, based on totally arbitrary reasons and arbitrary

00:05:44.960 standards, like your age, your stage of development inside the womb.

00:05:51.040 And don't you see how that logic leads to all kinds of atrocities against people outside

00:05:56.760 of the womb?

00:05:57.620 Because really, what is so special about the birth canal that it imparts rights to people?

00:06:04.360 Why would a baby not have a right a few moments before exiting the birth canal, but does have

00:06:11.420 rights a few minutes after?

00:06:13.300 And actually, these pieces of legislation, especially the one in Maryland, proves the logical conclusion,

00:06:20.960 to abortion logic, that some people don't have rights, some innocent people don't have

00:06:28.960 rights, based on what?

00:06:30.160 Based on, I don't know, location, size, stage of development, ability to defend itself.

00:06:36.220 And what you see is that any logic that you apply to people inside the womb to say that

00:06:41.060 killing them is justified will eventually apply to people outside of the womb, because why not? 1.00

00:06:45.940 Because, as I said, there's nothing magical about the birth canal that it would impart rights 0.98

00:06:50.140 to people.

00:06:50.960 And so we are starting to see the logical conclusion of abortion out of the birth canal and into 0.84

00:06:57.640 life outside of the womb.

00:07:00.120 So let me tell you about this piece of Maryland legislation, Senate Bill 669, called the Pregnant

00:07:05.840 Persons Freedom Act of 2022.

00:07:07.880 And you know I have a comment about that, too.

00:07:09.820 That 33% off means you save $50.

00:07:12.580 So go to dwellapp.io slash relatable.

00:07:14.700 That's dwellapp.io slash relatable.

00:07:16.640 Okay, let me tell you about the Senate Bill 669.

00:07:22.340 Yes, the Pregnant Persons Freedom Act of 2022. 0.59

00:07:25.780 Now, I actually appreciate the honesty here, because we see in federal legislation when it

00:07:31.100 comes to abortion that it's women's rights, it's protecting women's health care, which 1.00

00:07:35.960 is so contradictory to the democratic dogma of today, which not only women can give birth,

00:07:41.880 some men can give birth.

00:07:43.300 Of course, what they mean by that is some women who identify as men can give birth.

00:07:46.760 In fact, men cannot give birth.

00:07:48.480 And of course, we see in scriptures, we've talked about so many times, Genesis 1, there

00:07:52.020 is no category of gender identity.

00:07:54.000 There is no category of, well, there is a feeling or thought that you have about who you are gender

00:08:00.580 wise that actually trumps your biology.

00:08:02.420 We see two categories.

00:08:03.660 There are biological categories, male, female.

00:08:06.400 That's it.

00:08:06.860 And for those of you who say, well, there's intersex people, yes, it's a very small percentage.

00:08:12.480 That's a disorder.

00:08:13.980 And just like there are some people born with one leg, and that doesn't negate the fact that

00:08:18.700 human beings are bipeds. 0.94

00:08:20.340 So intersex people who are people made in the image of God, just like the rest of us,

00:08:24.180 do not negate the rule of human existence, which is that we are created male and female.

00:08:29.180 So no, it is not possible for men to have babies ever.

00:08:32.720 Okay, it's just not possible.

00:08:33.980 It's never going to be possible.

00:08:35.380 They don't have a uterus. 1.00

00:08:36.280 They don't have eggs.

00:08:37.620 It is only possible for women to give birth. 1.00

00:08:40.420 So the fact that this Maryland bill is titled the Pregnant Person's Freedom Act, it shouldn't

00:08:44.880 surprise us what follows from that, because they're already denying the creation order.

00:08:48.580 So that means they're denying that people are made in the image of God.

00:08:50.840 If you're denying that people are made in the image of God, as Genesis 127 says, a part

00:08:54.740 of being made in the image of God is being made male and female, then of course, you are

00:08:58.440 also going to deny the value of life inside the womb. 0.90

00:09:02.280 That's how it works.

00:09:03.000 That's the logic.

00:09:03.820 And Christians who are kidding themselves into thinking that they can believe that people 1.00

00:09:06.960 are made in the image of God and also before legalized abortion, I'm sorry to say that

00:09:11.120 I am here to wreck that contradictory thought process that you have in your head.

00:09:15.000 So let's read a little bit of this bill or read a little bit about this bill.

00:09:18.820 So it's summarized as this, for the purpose of altering certain provisions of law relating

00:09:23.700 to the termination of a pregnancy, also euphemistic language.

00:09:26.560 You'll see that pro-abortion people can never actually say what an abortion is because when

00:09:31.500 you are in the immoral position, when you have the wicked position, you actually have

00:09:36.460 to use euphemisms in order to make your side palatable.

00:09:40.080 You can't use the truth because the truth actually hurts your case.

00:09:43.080 That's one of the most liberating and comforting parts about being anti-abortion is that all

00:09:47.860 you have to do is tell the truth.

00:09:50.000 All you have to do is tell the truth.

00:09:51.120 Truth is like a lion.

00:09:52.580 You don't actually have to defend it.

00:09:54.160 You just have to let it loose.

00:09:55.400 And that's what we do with abortion. 1.00

00:09:56.980 We say, this is what an abortion entails.

00:09:59.220 Isn't that horrific?

00:10:00.680 And the vast majority of people say yes, but unfortunately, a large number of people don't

00:10:05.540 actually know what an abortion is.

00:10:07.260 We've gone through what the abortion procedure entails in every stage of pregnancy many times.

00:10:13.680 Again, we can link a past episode on that for you to listen to it.

00:10:17.220 It's stomach churning.

00:10:18.520 It's really difficult to listen to as it should be.

00:10:21.060 But the truth is on our side as pro-lifers, as anti-abortion advocates.

00:10:24.880 The truth is not on their side, which is why they have to say terminate a pregnancy.

00:10:28.720 Well, what are you actually terminating?

00:10:30.320 You're not terminating a pregnancy.

00:10:31.440 You're terminating a person.

00:10:32.640 So, relating to the termination of pregnancy, investigations of or criminal penalties or

00:10:37.700 civil liabilities for a pregnant person or a person assisting a pregnant person prohibiting

00:10:42.700 a certain provision of law that requires the termination of a pregnancy by a licensed

00:10:46.400 physician from being construed to apply to a certain pregnant person generally relating

00:10:49.720 to the termination of pregnancy.

00:10:51.320 Yada, yada, yada, mumbo jumbo, blah, blah, blah.

00:10:53.600 That's what happens when you exchange the truth of God for a lie and your mind becomes so 1.00

00:10:59.680 depraved and so infected by sin that you become stupid. 1.00

00:11:02.780 Like your mind, your brain becomes mushy oatmeal. 1.00

00:11:06.520 You're not even allowed.

00:11:07.700 You're not even able to say words that actually make sense.

00:11:11.820 So, the bill reiterates that the current state law deprives all unborn people of rights.

00:11:20.080 The bill says this.

00:11:20.920 Nothing in this section shall be construed to confer personhood or any rights on the fetus.

00:11:25.560 Any fetus.

00:11:26.680 Any fetus, okay?

00:11:27.580 Pro-life advocates warn that under this bill, a baby who survived an abortion could just

00:11:33.360 be left to die without care. 0.76

00:11:35.540 But then the measure reportedly goes one step further into the perinatal territory.

00:11:41.260 So, this is why you are hearing people that, okay, this is not just allowing legal abortion

00:11:46.320 up until birth.

00:11:48.280 Anyone, any of you women who have been pregnant, like, you know what pregnancy is like.

00:11:54.300 Like, you who have had premature babies at 22, 23 weeks.

00:11:59.760 I mean, that's a baby that you give birth to.

00:12:01.700 That's a wiggling, moving, feeling, breathing baby.

00:12:05.800 My 11 and a half week appointment the first time I was pregnant, that's still the first

00:12:09.860 trimester.

00:12:10.660 I looked at the ultrasound and I saw a baby with arms and legs and fingers and toes and

00:12:16.700 a beating heart and lungs and a brain and teeth.

00:12:20.540 I mean, it was a flipping, little, moving, wiggling baby.

00:12:25.040 First trimester, okay?

00:12:27.080 And so, you're talking about legalizing abortion through 40 weeks.

00:12:30.560 Don't tell me, oh, well, that never happens.

00:12:32.380 If it never happens, then why are we working to legalize it?

00:12:35.000 And by the way, it does happen.

00:12:36.180 Even according to the Guttmacher Institute, which is a pro-abortion research organization,

00:12:41.520 that happens about 10,000 times every year.

00:12:44.580 And that is probably an underestimate because several states, most states, don't actually

00:12:49.080 have to report that kind of thing, or we can't even rely on that reporting.

00:12:53.120 Not most, but many.

00:12:54.880 And so, that's probably an undercount.

00:12:57.020 There are very many babies who are aborted after they are viable, after they could live

00:13:01.420 outside of the womb every year.

00:13:04.560 All right, so that's why they're pushing for this legislation, because they want that.

00:13:08.660 I guess they're bloodthirsty. 0.76

00:13:09.780 I'm not sure.

00:13:10.960 Writing for the National Review, Wesley J. Smith cautioned that such bills would lead

00:13:14.740 to allowing lethal injections on newborns left to die.

00:13:18.420 Here's part of what he says in that article.

00:13:20.720 So, he mentions how Ralph Northam, the then governor of Virginia, on radio said that a mother

00:13:29.420 and her doctor get to have a conversation about if a baby survives an abortion, about what 0.97

00:13:37.680 to do.

00:13:38.520 So, would you get to neglect the newborn and allow the baby to die, or what gets to happen?

00:13:45.360 I mean, that got almost no press in the mainstream media.

00:13:48.780 He said that a baby born alive, laying there on the table, that the mother and doctor would

00:13:55.540 get to decide whether or not to kill that baby or to neglect the baby to death.

00:13:59.660 When I gave a Senate testimony in 2019 about the horrors of abortion, I also read the testimonies

00:14:06.040 of people who have worked in abortion clinics, who have worked in hospitals where abortions

00:14:11.080 are performed, and how babies, either born alive, some of them struggling to live, they

00:14:16.020 died a few minutes after, were put in a janitor closet, left to die.

00:14:21.240 And one woman talked about holding a 22-week-old baby who was aborted because he had Down syndrome.

00:14:28.620 And this was the moment it changed for her.

00:14:30.660 The baby was alive in her arms after this failed abortion, and she just held this baby

00:14:36.780 helplessly.

00:14:37.560 Yes, if that's just one testimony, I guarantee you this is happening multiple times a year,

00:14:43.260 if not a lot.

00:14:44.080 But it doesn't matter.

00:14:44.860 Even if it were happening once, that would be horrific.

00:14:46.840 So he goes on to say, the bill would prevent investigations and legal, the bill in Maryland

00:14:53.340 would prevent investigations and legal penalties for abortion at any point in the pregnancy

00:14:57.860 and perinatal deaths caused by failure to act.

00:15:02.060 So that is what Ralph Northam was talking about in Virginia.

00:15:05.980 Now, what is a perinatal death?

00:15:07.880 Well, you can look this up in your search engine.

00:15:09.960 Perinatal death includes the month after birth.

00:15:12.940 So up to 28 days after birth.

00:15:14.540 That is the technical medical definition of perinatal.

00:15:18.120 So an abortionist or anyone involved in this abortion would not be held legally liable for

00:15:24.140 any death that happens to a baby surviving an abortion during this perinatal period, 28

00:15:31.340 days after birth.

00:15:32.660 So that means a wide variety of things.

00:15:34.980 That could mean that legally the doctor and the parents just allow that child to die on

00:15:40.920 their own.

00:15:41.420 So they can't, they don't have to intervene.

00:15:43.520 They don't actually have to try to save that baby's life.

00:15:46.480 Republicans have tried to push legislation, even federally saying, I think it was Ben Sasse

00:15:51.260 a few years ago, tried to push federal legislation saying that, look, doctors have to try to save

00:15:56.420 the life of the baby that survives the abortion.

00:15:59.020 All Democrats were against it, including our vice president.

00:16:01.620 By the way, you pro all life Christians who voted for them and you think that it's just

00:16:06.720 nuanced to be on the side of the party that is literally pro infanticide. 1.00

00:16:11.100 You crazy people. 0.97

00:16:12.780 I'm going to get, I'm going to get into a specific example of that in just one second, 0.97

00:16:16.620 but we're talking about these Maryland Democrats who are allowing perinatal deaths of babies that 0.75

00:16:22.880 are caused by failure to act, which extends from the 22nd week of gestation through to the first 28 days

00:16:28.800 after birth.

00:16:30.760 Here's what the bill says.

00:16:31.600 The section may not be construed to authorize any form of investigation or penalty for a person

00:16:35.820 terminating or attempting to terminate the person's own pregnancy or experiencing a miscarriage,

00:16:41.160 perinatal death related to a failure to act or stillbirth.

00:16:44.420 This means the article says that a baby who survived an abortion can be allowed to die without

00:16:48.560 care and no investigation could be pursued nor legal penalty applied, but also effectively

00:16:53.960 decriminalizes death by neglect for the first 28 days of life without regard to abortion.

00:16:59.140 So I actually said that wrong earlier.

00:17:01.960 So, oh my gosh.

00:17:03.640 So this is not even just babies who survive abortion.

00:17:07.340 We're talking about any babies.

00:17:08.940 So any babies that die because they were neglected, because they were abandoned, because they were

00:17:13.420 starved, because the doctor or whomever failed to intervene to help take care of them.

00:17:18.340 It decriminalizes any kind of death by neglect for the first 28 days of a baby's life without

00:17:24.880 regard to abortion.

00:17:26.320 This is infanticide.

00:17:27.300 This doesn't have to do with bodily autonomy.

00:17:29.680 This is not in a woman's body anymore. 1.00

00:17:32.300 This doesn't even have to do with abortion. 0.99

00:17:33.860 This has to do with being able to kill a child.

00:17:37.020 If no investigation can be conducted, what else can it be called?

00:17:39.900 The article says, for example, a baby born with a disability could be allowed to die by

00:17:43.500 refusing ordinary methods of care and medical treatment.

00:17:46.060 Heck, for that matter, so could any baby the mother does not want in the first 28 days after

00:17:50.580 birth.

00:17:51.180 To further ensure that such deaths can take place without consequence, the bill would authorize

00:17:55.400 those illegally investigated for causing babies to die by neglect to bring civil lawsuits.

00:18:00.300 A person may bring, the bill says, a cause of action for damages if the person was subject

00:18:05.640 to unlawful arrest or criminal investigation for a violation of section as a result of experiencing

00:18:11.860 a miscarriage, stillbirth, or perinatal death.

00:18:14.300 Wow.

00:18:15.160 Wow.

00:18:15.620 The pro-abortion left clearly is slouching toward not only authorizing late-term abortions

00:18:20.760 for any reason, but also post-birth deaths of unwanted born babies.

00:18:28.120 Unbelievable.

00:18:29.100 This is already happening in other parts of the world, by the way.

00:18:33.020 And just a reminder, Maryland has safe haven laws.

00:18:36.820 So you can bring your unwanted child to your unwanted baby, infant, to a safe haven box.

00:18:44.100 You put them in there.

00:18:45.300 There's someone that's on the other side of the window that you put the baby through.

00:18:51.080 They take the baby.

00:18:52.060 They ensure that the baby gets a good home.

00:18:54.300 So if you don't want the baby, there is no excuse to leave the baby to die.

00:18:58.020 And plus, even if you're in a state that doesn't have a safe haven law, which I think every state

00:19:01.500 should, there are agencies, there are places that you can go.

00:19:05.820 You can take the baby somewhere and someone will take care of your baby.

00:19:09.760 And guess what?

00:19:10.360 There are millions of parents who are in line right now who have struggled with infertility,

00:19:15.020 who can't have children, or who just want to adopt children that would take your baby.

00:19:19.840 And so for Democrats to pretend like they are the pro-all-life party, they're the holistically

00:19:24.180 pro-life party, they're the party of compassion, they're the party of the least of these, they're

00:19:28.100 the party of the most vulnerable, they're not actually working to help desperate mothers

00:19:32.720 or vulnerable families. 0.98

00:19:34.060 They are actually just working to make it easier to kill a child.

00:19:37.960 Again, I ask, how could any Christian vote for this party? 0.74

00:19:42.660 I'm not trying to lionize or certainly not deify, I should say, any political party.

00:19:49.940 I'm not saying that Republicans are perfect by any means.

00:19:53.060 I rail against the failures of Republicans often, but there is nothing, hear me, nothing

00:20:00.000 that the Republican party stands for that is even anywhere near the atrocity of abortion

00:20:07.180 that Democrats unashamedly advocate for.

00:20:09.720 They don't see it as a necessary evil.

00:20:11.760 They don't see it as something that they privately are against, but they publicly have to make

00:20:18.140 legal.

00:20:18.440 No, they see it as something more and more to celebrate.

00:20:22.540 I don't think all Democratic voters think that way.

00:20:24.660 I think a lot of Democratic voters don't.

00:20:26.480 But I think party leadership, I think the activist class of the Democratic Party, I think they

00:20:30.480 are bloodthirsty and they will push the limits on this unless people, namely Democrats, stand

00:20:37.600 up and say, no, you're not going to vote for people that advocate for things like that.

00:20:41.000 Unless Democrats stand up and say that you are against this legislation too and that you

00:20:44.920 won't vote for people that vote yes on it.

00:20:46.900 This is something, unfortunately, infanticide is something that has been advocated for for 0.56

00:20:52.760 a while in the bioethics community, if you can call it a community.

00:20:56.920 Of course, secular godless academics have advocated for this kind of infanticide for a long

00:21:02.280 time.

00:21:02.800 People like Peter Singer, they don't actually think that you should be able to ascribe personhood

00:21:07.240 to someone who doesn't have self-consciousness, who doesn't have their own autonomy and their

00:21:13.080 ability, I guess, to think for themselves.

00:21:15.040 Again, it becomes so arbitrary.

00:21:17.860 And that's the problem.

00:21:18.780 Like that, don't you see how that has been the foundation of every genocide that has ever

00:21:24.280 existed?

00:21:25.340 Saying that a group is subhuman, that they don't actually have rights because of whatever

00:21:30.640 reason.

00:21:31.160 And because of abortion, we say it's because of location or size or age or politics, whatever

00:21:36.760 it is.

00:21:37.160 That's just as arbitrary as saying that you have to kill someone because of their religion 0.62

00:21:40.720 or because of what they look like.

00:21:42.860 And people who get mad when this is likened to the Holocaust or likened to slavery, I'm

00:21:47.640 sorry, it's the same principle.

00:21:48.780 It's the same quadrant of the library.

00:21:51.040 You are deciding that one class of human beings is subhuman and that they can be legally 0.69

00:21:57.320 slaughtered.

00:21:57.720 Again, how can anyone who believes in a just, loving God be okay with the legalization of

00:22:04.900 that?

00:22:05.740 It's really, it's truly insane.

00:22:07.940 And it's disheartening.

00:22:09.120 How can we, by the way, be okay with a Supreme Court justice nominee who can't say that she

00:22:15.380 knows when life begins?

00:22:18.500 And unfortunately, there are some Christians who seem to be okay with that.

00:22:21.540 Okay, before we get into Ketanji Brown-Jackson and her just egregious failure to answer when

00:22:34.060 a life begins, let me tell you also about this Colorado bill.

00:22:40.280 It is HB 22 through 1 or dash 1, 2, 7, 9.

00:22:46.260 And it's called the Reproduct Health Equity Act.

00:22:49.460 And so once again, we've got an act that is named by euphemisms because that's what

00:22:53.620 abortion lovers have to do. 1.00

00:22:56.180 Reproductive health is a euphemism for slaughtering a child. 1.00

00:22:59.220 Equity is a euphemism for, how do I even explain it?

00:23:03.900 We've explained it many times.

00:23:05.380 Basically, finagling the rules so that every race has equal outcomes, even if that means

00:23:13.220 treating people differently, to try to get people to end up in the same place.

00:23:21.000 I mean, it's a form of communism.

00:23:24.060 Giving preferential treatment to one group that you view as disadvantaged, that you say

00:23:29.360 has been victimized or marginalized in some way, trying to get them a boost up while holding

00:23:34.080 everyone else back and saying, oh, this is going to end up at the same place.

00:23:38.540 It never actually works like that.

00:23:40.840 You actually just end up committing partiality, which we know from scripture for Christians 0.99

00:23:45.000 is a sin, which is a form of injustice, says the God who created justice.

00:23:50.840 And that's all written about by Thomas Sowell in the quest for cosmic justice.

00:23:54.500 And so I encourage you to read that whenever you see the word equity, that is always a red 0.99

00:24:00.740 flag that whatever policy is being proposed is not actually equitable.

00:24:04.700 Equity is supposed to be the equal application of the law to everyone, regardless of your

00:24:10.660 sex, regardless of your religion, regardless of your race. 0.67

00:24:15.320 But equity in progressive speak, in new speak, is not that.

00:24:20.260 It is actually trying to change the rules of the game so everyone ends up in the same place.

00:24:24.740 There was a policy that I just saw.

00:24:26.800 Gosh, which which state was it was it coming from that the school board decided that they

00:24:33.120 were going to handle school discipline on students based on race and background?

00:24:37.440 And so that means that white students might get punished more harshly than black or brown 0.82

00:24:41.740 students.

00:24:42.200 Why again, for the for the sake of equity, because I'm sure they looked at the numbers and they

00:24:46.600 said, oh, well, you know, black students seem to be getting in trouble, getting disciplined 0.58

00:24:51.660 more on average than white students.

00:24:54.860 And so that must be because of racism, although it's probably not because of racism.

00:24:59.440 And so they are now going to treat this class of people with kid gloves, whereas they will 0.89

00:25:05.840 continue to treat the white students more harshly.

00:25:09.140 That's injustice.

00:25:10.260 You're trying to create equal outcomes and you're trying to meet arbitrary quotas to say

00:25:14.860 that you're being equitable.

00:25:15.740 But actually, you are by real definitions being unequitable.

00:25:18.920 So, again, whenever I see Reproductive Health Equity Act, I already know it's going to be

00:25:22.980 absolute hogwash.

00:25:25.240 Here is what the bill is.

00:25:28.240 So it declares that every individual has a fundamental right to use or refuse contraception.

00:25:32.780 I'm glad that you have a right to refuse contraception. 0.87

00:25:35.720 Every pregnant individual. 0.87

00:25:37.460 There we go.

00:25:38.880 There is the there's the Orwellian news speak again.

00:25:41.980 Every pregnant individual has a fundamental right to continue the pregnancy and give birth to 0.99

00:25:46.120 or have an abortion and a fertilized egg, embryo or fetus does not have independent or derivative

00:25:51.460 rights under the laws of the state.

00:25:52.860 So once again, they're saying that this is not a real person.

00:25:55.840 Again, tell me what it is.

00:25:57.380 Tell me what it is.

00:25:58.080 If it's not a real person, a potential person says who that's a very philosophical and superstitious

00:26:03.480 position.

00:26:03.820 That's not a scientific position because we know scientifically that this is a human being.

00:26:07.900 And if a human being is not a human being or if a human being is not a person, when it

00:26:11.220 becomes a human being, which is at conception, then when does it become a person and when does

00:26:15.180 it have rights and why?

00:26:16.880 No one wants to answer that.

00:26:18.660 The bill prohibits state and local public entities from depriving through prosecution,

00:26:23.700 punishment or other means an individual of the individual's rights to act or refrain from

00:26:28.340 acting during the individual's own pregnancy based on whatever reason.

00:26:32.620 So basically, there can be no reason to stop a woman from getting an abortion. 0.76

00:26:38.040 We'll include the links to the actual text of these bills in the description so you can read

00:26:41.940 them for yourself.

00:26:44.960 And so the bill codifies, this is according to the Denver Channel, that will codify full

00:26:49.020 access to reproductive health care in Colorado into statute.

00:26:53.120 It applies to anyone who may become anyone who may become pregnant, calls people's access

00:26:57.580 to contraception a fundamental right and says state and local public entities are prohibited

00:27:01.780 from interfering with a person's right to continue a pregnancy, give birth or have an

00:27:06.900 abortion.

00:27:07.540 The Catholic News Agency, which is obviously coming from the pro-life perspective, says

00:27:13.500 that the bill explicitly denies any rights to unborn children.

00:27:16.860 It says a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights.

00:27:20.080 The bill is designed to outlaw government interference in, quote, reproductive health care.

00:27:24.980 So it grants the right to abortion, which there is no right to abortion, not in the Constitution,

00:27:29.860 not anywhere, for the full 40 weeks of pregnancy for any reason.

00:27:33.380 The Colorado Catholic Conference has warned Colorado is already a regional hub for abortion

00:27:37.680 and the bill would solidify that.

00:27:40.200 So there are already very few restrictions on abortion in Colorado, and this just pushes

00:27:44.200 that to its limit.

00:27:45.600 There is no gestational limit currently written to Colorado law, making Colorado one of just

00:27:50.280 a few states where abortion is available until birth.

00:27:54.400 In 2019, the last year, the data from the CDC was available.

00:27:57.560 More than 170 babies were aborted after 21 weeks gestation in Colorado.

00:28:04.340 So that's a lot.

00:28:05.420 I guarantee, again, that that is an undercount.

00:28:08.160 After 21 weeks, that's viable, guys.

00:28:10.460 I'm not saying that that life is worth more than the baby that's aborted at six weeks because

00:28:14.860 they're both made in the image of God.

00:28:16.540 But when you think about just how grotesque, how abhorrent that is, a moving, kicking, feeling, 0.58

00:28:24.260 squirming baby, and we know the process that is required in killing that child, a needle 0.98

00:28:29.980 of the same poisonous chemical combination that is used in lethal injections of criminals

00:28:36.220 on death row was inserted into the woman's abdomen, into the uterus. 1.00

00:28:40.840 If the doctor can get straight into the heart of the baby, if the baby is not moving around

00:28:46.780 too much, then directly into the baby's heart.

00:28:49.180 It stops the baby's heart.

00:28:50.180 It causes a cardiac arrest, a heart attack, and then the baby dies that way, and then

00:28:54.720 the baby is removed using forceps through the birth canal.

00:28:58.360 So that is what an abortion entails in the second trimester. 1.00

00:29:03.320 The baby is actually reported to flinch from the needle, the pain of the needle, to move

00:29:08.060 away from the needle.

00:29:09.060 There is an instinctive drive to survive in all of us, including babies inside the womb,

00:29:13.880 and this is happening hundreds of times in Colorado every year.

00:29:18.560 And so the Democrats in that state are trying to solidify this and ensure that there is

00:29:22.820 no prohibition whatsoever in a woman getting an abortion through 40 weeks of pregnancy.

00:29:29.000 There was also no waiting period for an abortion in Colorado, no residency requirement.

00:29:33.620 Although the state requires minors seeking abortions to inform one parent in writing 48 hours

00:29:38.200 prior, parents cannot legally stop their child from getting the abortion.

00:29:42.080 Wow.

00:29:42.820 Demonic.

00:29:43.820 Since abortion is not currently restricting Colorado abortion discrimination based on categories

00:29:47.620 such as sex, race, or disability can take place.

00:29:51.320 So why is this bill such a concern if Colorado already allows abortion up to birth?

00:29:56.660 It would ink into law, one of the most permissive abortion laws in the entire country, further

00:30:01.020 lending legitimacy and legal protection to the state's late-term abortionists.

00:30:04.520 It would also solidify Colorado as a regional abortion hub.

00:30:07.920 Because pro-choice Colorado lawmakers believe that federal abortion procedures could be threatened

00:30:12.160 in the near future because of the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade this summer.

00:30:20.600 And so that's why they're acting in this way.

00:30:23.260 That's why they're doing this.

00:30:25.180 That's why they're trying to ensure that women are able to abort their babies through all nine 1.00

00:30:30.480 months of pregnancy.

00:30:31.860 It's really, really evil.

00:30:33.460 And Biden Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson, she was asked multiple times in her Senate

00:30:43.920 hearings last week when she believes that life begins.

00:30:49.160 So let me play you one of those exchanges between Senator Kennedy and Judge Jackson.

00:30:57.320 When does life begin, in your opinion?

00:31:02.380 Senator, I don't know.

00:31:09.780 Ma'am?

00:31:10.440 I don't know.

00:31:11.600 Do you have a belief?

00:31:12.700 I have personal religious and otherwise beliefs that have nothing to do with the law in terms

00:31:22.380 of when life begins.

00:31:23.960 Do you have a personal belief, though, about when life begins?

00:31:28.180 I have a religious view.

00:31:29.540 Religious belief?

00:31:30.600 That I set aside when I am ruling on cases.

00:31:34.620 Okay.

00:31:35.200 When does equal protection of the laws attach to a human being?

00:31:43.560 Well, Senator, I believe that the Supreme Court, actually, I actually don't know the answer

00:31:53.440 to that question.

00:31:54.160 I'm sorry.

00:31:55.020 All right.

00:31:55.380 So she wasn't able to answer that question.

00:31:58.860 She doesn't know when life begins.

00:32:00.060 She already told us when Senator Blackburn asked her, can you define what a woman is? 0.98

00:32:05.680 And she said, no, I'm not a biologist, as if you need to be a biologist to understand what

00:32:12.980 has been easily observable for all of human history.

00:32:15.440 But she's already told us, you know, she's not a biologist.

00:32:18.040 And so I guess that means that she also can't tell us when life begins, which, of course,

00:32:21.860 is troubling.

00:32:22.460 Both of these things are very easy to answer because they're objective realities rooted

00:32:25.840 in science.

00:32:26.980 Now, you could say that, of course, these are political traps of questions.

00:32:30.920 And they are.

00:32:31.500 They are political traps.

00:32:32.720 That's just what the other side does.

00:32:34.580 So they know that Republican politicians, just like Democrat politicians in these kinds

00:32:39.600 of hearings, they know that they're just trying to kind of get her to say controversial things 0.85

00:32:45.580 or really just to see where she stands.

00:32:47.080 I'm not saying that it's not a legitimate line of questioning because it absolutely, totally

00:32:50.700 is, including Josh Hawley's line of questioning about why she has issued such light sentences

00:32:57.140 on child predators.

00:32:58.620 It's totally legitimate, but they also know that this is just kind of a way to get people

00:33:04.300 to see what she really stands for.

00:33:06.980 So she doesn't know when life begins.

00:33:08.540 She doesn't know what a woman is. 1.00

00:33:09.920 She doesn't know why she has consistently issued these light sentences for child predators

00:33:15.440 and people who consume and distribute child sex abuse material when Josh Hawley asked her

00:33:20.460 that.

00:33:20.840 And of course, Lindsey Graham asked her the same question.

00:33:23.960 Like, why have you done this?

00:33:26.500 Why do you go against federal guidelines and what prosecutors have recommended when it

00:33:31.940 comes to sentencing for child predators?

00:33:34.660 And she can't really answer that question.

00:33:36.600 We talked about that last week on the podcast.

00:33:38.780 We can link that episode.

00:33:41.760 And so this is really troubling.

00:33:43.280 We just talked about how awful abortion is.

00:33:45.660 We just talked about, obviously, the importance of being able to say what a woman is, because

00:33:54.260 that tells us what you believe about who we are, where we come from, where our rights

00:34:02.920 come from.

00:34:03.440 Like, if you can't answer those two basic questions, like, if you can't tell us what

00:34:07.620 a woman is, then how am I supposed to believe that you can tell us what a woman's right is? 0.99

00:34:13.020 Like, what are women's rights if you can't even define what a woman is? 1.00

00:34:17.820 And if you can't tell me when life begins, then when does a human being have rights?

00:34:23.060 I need to know.

00:34:24.200 Is it in pregnancy?

00:34:25.940 Is it after birth?

00:34:27.220 Is it a month after birth?

00:34:28.880 Is it six months after birth?

00:34:30.920 Is it 12 years old?

00:34:32.000 I don't know.

00:34:32.420 Like, I don't, shouldn't I want to know from a Supreme Court justice when life begins

00:34:36.920 so I can know when she thinks a human being has a right?

00:34:39.780 I mean, someone who is supposed to be an expert in the Constitution, which outlines our rights

00:34:44.780 in the Bill of Rights, like, shouldn't she be able to say, like, when we get to actually

00:34:49.160 cash in on those rights as human beings?

00:34:50.700 But she can't because she doesn't know when life begins.

00:34:53.500 And so she says she's not a biologist for these things.

00:34:57.040 And some people I saw saying, well, that's good.

00:35:00.120 That means that that means that she thinks that gender is rooted in biology. 1.00

00:35:04.780 And so that's actually a very conservative answer.

00:35:07.040 I saw people saying that.

00:35:08.300 No, no, no.

00:35:08.960 That's not what she's saying.

00:35:10.360 That's not what she's saying.

00:35:11.420 Now, she might.

00:35:12.480 She might actually think that gender is rooted in biology. 1.00

00:35:16.060 And that is wonderful if she does.

00:35:18.960 But that is actually a tactic by left-wing gender ideologues a lot. 1.00

00:35:23.680 There was this exchange, this video exchange between this, like, LGBTQ activist and this feminist

00:35:34.060 who is, like, anti-transgender movement, and they were at the swim meet where Leah Thomas

00:35:38.840 was swimming, and they are going back and forth.

00:35:41.840 And this LGBTQ activist thought that he was trapping her in this question.

00:35:47.360 He said, are you a biologist?

00:35:49.520 To basically say, hey, if you're not a biologist, then you can't speak to this.

00:35:55.080 It is not.

00:35:55.900 He doesn't believe that gender is rooted in biology.

00:35:58.300 These activists, these left-wing ideologues don't believe that gender is rooted in biology,

00:36:02.020 but they continually use that question, are you a biologist, or you don't know anything

00:36:06.660 about biology, just to try to say that the common person can't understand the complex

00:36:12.540 science of what it means to be a man or woman.

00:36:15.200 So I highly doubt she is saying that she thinks that sex is immutable and rooted in biology.

00:36:22.300 I think that she is saying what these gender ideologues do, that, well, we can't really know

00:36:29.600 unless we have a degree, unless we have special insight, and she probably thinks it's some

00:36:35.160 complex answer.

00:36:36.300 Why do I think that?

00:36:37.000 Because she's on the left.

00:36:38.020 Like, she's left-wing. 0.96

00:36:38.860 She wouldn't have been nominated if she weren't.

00:36:40.820 She wouldn't be touted by all of these left-wing activist groups if she weren't. 1.00

00:36:44.880 And I'm hoping and praying that she is an impartial judge that exacts justice, but I'm

00:36:50.300 concerned.

00:36:50.800 I'm concerned about her answers when it comes to life and when it comes to the definition

00:36:54.280 of a woman, basic fundamental facts of human existence that I think a Supreme Court justice 0.99

00:36:59.220 should know.

00:37:00.080 And I am troubled by why she issues such light sentences on child predators.

00:37:05.600 I think these are all completely legitimate concerns that we have.

00:37:10.180 And then I was just, you know, surprised and a little bit troubled by some of the reactions

00:37:15.440 that I saw from Christians about this.

00:37:19.220 And I'll get into that in just one second.

00:37:21.700 All right.

00:37:24.240 So I want to address a question that a lot of you have asked me or questions that a lot

00:37:28.480 of you have asked me about Jackie Hill Perry's tweets and Instagram posts about Ketanji Brown

00:37:38.120 Jackson.

00:37:39.200 There were a couple tweets that I saw.

00:37:41.060 Now, these are just screenshots that you have sent me because unfortunately, even though I

00:37:45.440 have never had any kind of negative interaction with Jackie Hill Perry, and I like a lot of the

00:37:51.320 things that she says she blocked me on all social media.

00:37:53.920 I'm guessing just because she doesn't like what I have to say, but I've never had any

00:37:58.120 kind of exchange with her.

00:37:59.380 One time I tweeted under one of her tweets asking her to come on the show.

00:38:03.000 Now I do disagree with her when it comes to social and racial justice issues.

00:38:08.020 Absolutely.

00:38:09.040 100%.

00:38:09.460 I really disagree with her on politics, but I don't think I've ever even outlined those

00:38:15.360 disagreements on this show.

00:38:17.320 And I don't want to take away from a lot of the good stuff that I think that she says.

00:38:23.020 I think that she's wrong on some things.

00:38:25.400 I'm sure that she thinks that I'm wrong on some things.

00:38:27.900 I think that she is really wrong when it comes to those subjects that I just listed.

00:38:31.720 But like I said, I've never had any kind of disrespectful or negative interaction with

00:38:35.640 her.

00:38:35.920 And one day, I don't know, I think I saw that someone said that she tweeted something.

00:38:39.300 And so I went to go look and she blocked me on all social media.

00:38:43.280 Interesting.

00:38:43.640 Make of that what she will.

00:38:46.160 But she apparently was tweeting some things about Ketanji Brown Jackson, and she posted

00:38:51.640 some things on her Instagram story that you all sent to me.

00:38:54.340 So she, quote, tweeted the exchange between Lindsey Graham and Ketanji Brown Jackson, just

00:39:00.300 saying, I can't.

00:39:01.880 And Lindsey Graham was asking her about her record in issuing light sentences to child

00:39:07.360 predators and consumers and distributors of child sex abuse material.

00:39:10.520 I don't really know what Jackie Hill Perry meant by I can't.

00:39:15.680 Strange, but I'm not going to read into that.

00:39:17.680 And then she posted a picture of Ketanji Brown Jackson's daughter just looking at her mom and

00:39:24.840 like smiling.

00:39:25.640 You could tell it was a moment of admiration and just saying mood.

00:39:28.640 And apparently some people were upset about that from Jackie Hill Perry.

00:39:33.040 I mean, those two posts and themselves, that to me, just to be fair, I don't think means

00:39:39.080 that Jackie Hill Perry is like defending everything that Ketanji Brown Jackson stands for or that

00:39:45.200 she loves her and agrees with her on everything.

00:39:48.180 And so I'm not saying that Jackie Hill Perry is saying that.

00:39:52.060 However, I think that people's questions are fair, that like, would she pose to this kind

00:39:59.120 of seeming support for Amy Coney Barrett or for any kind of judicial nominee who was nominated

00:40:07.460 by a Republican?

00:40:09.840 I don't think so.

00:40:10.920 I don't think so based on the kind of activism and activist rhetoric that she has put forward

00:40:16.660 before.

00:40:17.240 Some of you were surprised in her Instagram story.

00:40:19.860 She was saying that there were people messaging her kind of disappointed in her posting mood

00:40:25.480 or whatever about Ketanji Brown Jackson and her daughter.

00:40:28.660 And by the way, it was a cute picture that was taken and posted.

00:40:31.740 So whatever, that's the least of my concerns when it comes to Ketanji Brown Jackson.

00:40:35.080 But she and then Jackie Hill Perry did an Instagram story saying, you know, most of the people in

00:40:42.220 my DMs are white evangelicals and 80% of you voted for Donald Trump, basically.

00:40:48.640 So you don't have room.

00:40:50.380 You don't have room to talk about any of this.

00:40:52.480 And some of you in messaging me, you express surprise that Jackie Hill Perry, that she called

00:40:57.480 out the race of the people that were that were messaging her.

00:41:02.540 That's the least surprising thing that I've ever heard.

00:41:05.340 If you actually pay attention to the things that Jackie Hill Perry says, she talks about

00:41:09.240 the problems with white evangelicals a lot and the problems that she thinks that she sees

00:41:14.020 in white evangelicals supporting Donald Trump.

00:41:17.760 She is always she is consistently very quick to talk about race and to draw lines along racial

00:41:23.940 to to to draw distinctions among along racial lines.

00:41:29.260 So that didn't surprise me at all.

00:41:32.080 She sees hypocrisy apparently in white evangelicals supporting Donald Trump, but criticizing someone

00:41:38.940 like Ketanji Brown Jackson, because Donald Trump has done a lot of bad things in the

00:41:43.220 past.

00:41:43.740 And I understand that reasoning because Donald Trump has done a lot of things that Christians 0.96

00:41:48.480 should not justify.

00:41:50.460 We should not support.

00:41:51.760 He has said things that are anti-biblical, that are not in alignment with our values.

00:41:57.320 And I think that we should be very honest with that.

00:42:00.460 Absolutely.

00:42:00.940 But the evangelicals I know, including me, the reason why I voted for Donald Trump twice

00:42:06.380 is because of policy, because I abhor abortion, because I believe that human beings inside the

00:42:12.980 womb have the dignity that should be afforded to them by legal rights. 1.00

00:42:17.620 And I could never vote for a candidate.

00:42:20.000 I could never vote for a politician who thinks that aborting a child is a right.

00:42:23.440 That's one reason.

00:42:24.440 And then there are a lot of other reasons when it comes to gender and women's rights, when

00:42:28.560 it comes to smaller government, when it comes to economic policy that I think is better

00:42:32.620 for every single demographic in every single class in society.

00:42:37.520 I mean, that's why I'm a conservative, because I actually believe that conservative policies

00:42:42.320 and that the policies that Trump supported, for the most part, I'm sure there are things

00:42:46.440 that I disagree with, were better and that would align more with a society that is reflective

00:42:55.140 of, is reflective of biblical principles.

00:42:59.480 I'm not talking about a theocracy.

00:43:01.460 I am talking about recognizing the rights and the dignity of people while also trying

00:43:08.200 to protect the sovereignty of your country and the safety of your citizens in a way that

00:43:14.060 creates an ordered society that benefits everyone based on the moral minimum that is found

00:43:22.960 in Scripture.

00:43:23.620 So that is my reasoning.

00:43:26.040 I can also say that I disagree with a lot of Donald Trump's personal views and the things

00:43:31.180 that he has said and done.

00:43:32.220 Absolutely.

00:43:33.140 Where I find it difficult to say, well, I'm just going to throw the baby out with the bath

00:43:38.600 water when it comes to Ketanji Brown Jackson is because of her positions on apparently on 0.80

00:43:47.500 abortion and also on crime in general and specifically when it comes to the crime of distributing and

00:43:55.380 possessing child sex abuse material.

00:43:57.720 It's hard for me to see how I can praise any part of her when the decisions that she has 0.98

00:44:06.380 made has perpetuated child rape.

00:44:09.900 It has because when you are issuing the lightest sentences possible for this kind of egregious

00:44:17.460 crime, what you are doing is incentivizing committing that crime because the consequences

00:44:24.040 just aren't hefty enough to disincentivize someone from committing that crime, either committing

00:44:28.560 that crime again or someone else committing that crime for the first time.

00:44:33.080 And of course, her refusal to accept or to define what a woman is, all of that goes back 0.92

00:44:40.040 to the denial of Genesis 1.

00:44:42.800 All of this really goes back to the denial of Genesis 1.

00:44:46.320 You're denying that people are made in God's image.

00:44:49.100 You're denying that being made in God's image means that you are being made male and female.

00:44:53.420 Again, I'm not looking for a theocratic nominee, but I am looking for someone who recognizes

00:45:01.420 the value of human beings and can define what a human being is.

00:45:10.200 And I have a hard time believing that if someone rejects that people are made in God's image and

00:45:15.880 therefore have have inherent value, that they will be able to recognize a human right.

00:45:23.980 If you can't even define when human life begins, how can you recognize and define what a human

00:45:29.140 right is?

00:45:31.700 The denial of reality is always going to lead to the denial of rights.

00:45:36.940 That's what we're going to see in Ketanji Brown-Jackson.

00:45:39.320 And so I have a hard time, not when I'm looking at her personally, maybe she's a really nice

00:45:43.840 lady.

00:45:44.160 I'm sure that she is.

00:45:45.160 I'm sure that she has a lot of good thoughts, too.

00:45:47.380 But I think the difference here is that it seems like a lot of Christians who vote Democrat,

00:45:51.660 they're mostly looking at personality and personal views, where it seems like the Christians who 0.63

00:45:56.720 vote Republican are mostly just looking at policy.

00:46:00.620 And I can't find it within my heart or mind to support someone who apparently advocates for the

00:46:09.020 kinds of policies and decisions that are so deleterious and so destructive for the most

00:46:14.860 vulnerable in our society.

00:46:16.700 So that's why I disagree with Jackie Hill Perry's reasoning.

00:46:20.900 And plus, I think that she is extremely derisive and derogatory and condescending when she talks 0.95

00:46:26.180 about white evangelicals.

00:46:27.280 But again, not a surprise to me.

00:46:28.720 That's something that she has been doing for several years.

00:46:31.140 I am not someone who is trying to say, oh, I'm warning you, stay far away.

00:46:36.860 I'm not saying that.

00:46:38.040 I think you can make your own decisions.

00:46:39.260 I think that you are wise and discerning and that you can listen to a lot of the wonderful,

00:46:45.220 amazing things, dynamic things that she says.

00:46:48.900 And even though she blocked me, I still believe those things about her.

00:46:51.480 And I'm still thankful for her testimony and how the Lord is using her.

00:46:54.900 Thankful.

00:46:55.320 Praise God for all of that.

00:46:56.960 So I'm just saying you can discern the things that she says that you believe are aligned with

00:47:02.040 the Bible and the things that are not.

00:47:03.940 And by the way, you should be doing that with me as well.

00:47:06.320 And you should be doing that with everyone.

00:47:07.600 But I really disagree with her reasoning here.

00:47:10.160 I disagree with how she articulated this and how she kind of doubled down on this.

00:47:15.060 And that's all I'll say.

00:47:16.940 I just wanted to clear that up because a lot of people were asking that.

00:47:22.140 All right.

00:47:22.440 Let me tell you about our last sponsor for the day.

00:47:23.760 And then I want to tell you this very interesting fact that kind of plays into what we're talking

00:47:27.180 about with abortion and abortion legislation and just how I think that women and children

00:47:32.180 are so mistreated in so many ways in this country.

00:47:35.720 Actually, because of a lot of the movements and the ideologies that say that they're defending

00:47:39.960 these groups.

00:47:40.720 And so I just want to tell you about this interesting factoid that we'll have to expound upon in

00:47:44.520 the future in just a second.

00:47:47.500 All right.

00:47:47.980 Let me tell you this really interesting factoid that I shared with Alex Clark when we were

00:47:52.020 talking about the dark side of the birthing industry.

00:47:54.120 Of course, one of the dark sides of maternal care and infant care in the United States has

00:47:58.580 to do with abortion.

00:48:00.720 But I was also looking into, like, why do we have such bad outcomes when it comes to

00:48:05.940 maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates, at least in the developed world?

00:48:10.900 We do not rank well when it comes to that.

00:48:13.900 And you would think America with some of the most expensive medical care and the most advanced

00:48:21.920 medical technology in the world that we would have the lowest infant and maternal mortality

00:48:26.820 rate.

00:48:27.580 And yet we don't.

00:48:29.420 And then you also hear a statistic very often that black women are about three times more 1.00

00:48:34.720 likely to die during birth, during labor and delivery and after birth than white women.

00:48:41.100 And that Hispanic and Asian women also, the rate is lower for those groups than it is for 0.97

00:48:47.580 black women. 1.00

00:48:48.160 And what we are continually told is that that is because of racism, that systemic racism in

00:48:54.040 health in the health care system.

00:48:55.300 And I'm not denying that racism could exist in these situations.

00:48:58.560 I have heard enough anecdotes to know that it is anecdotes to know that it's certainly possible

00:49:04.520 and that that happens.

00:49:05.540 I believe people's stories when they say that they experience some form of racial discrimination

00:49:10.320 in these scenarios.

00:49:12.220 That's true.

00:49:13.460 But as with most left wing narratives, I think that it is worth taking a second look at

00:49:18.120 you know, what's what's going on here or is there more to the story?

00:49:22.000 Is it just racism?

00:49:23.080 Could other factors play into it?

00:49:25.440 And of course, according to the CDC, there are a few things that they say play into any

00:49:30.380 maternal death, and that is high blood pressure and that is heart problems.

00:49:34.500 And that is more likely among African-American women, which is probably one of the reasons why 1.00

00:49:40.620 they are more likely to die.

00:49:41.880 And then also they have disproportionate poverty rates.

00:49:45.080 And so that plays into it.

00:49:46.640 I think poverty is a driver of a lot of the problems and the disparities that we see in

00:49:50.040 this country much more than race today.

00:49:53.220 But then one thing I found when I was just I wasn't even really looking for this, but I

00:49:57.440 read in an article in Deseret News that actually the number one cause of maternal mortality,

00:50:03.340 and this is not in the CDC figures, but this is in addition to the CDC figures, the number

00:50:09.280 one cause of maternal mortality in the United States has nothing to do with medical malpractice

00:50:14.820 or neglect or anything that happens inside a hospital.

00:50:17.780 It's actually homicide.

00:50:20.080 And the vast majority of homicides are committed by the domestic partners of these pregnant women.

00:50:26.580 And then if you dig a little bit further, you see that the number one victim in this group

00:50:34.780 of pregnant women or postpartum women, so a year after they give birth, is black women. 0.91

00:50:41.380 So black women, a higher number of women in general, of pregnant women and postpartum women 1.00

00:50:46.980 in general are dying by homicide than are dying by any other cause of death for pregnant and

00:50:52.860 postpartum women. 1.00

00:50:53.580 But that is in particular true of black women. 1.00

00:50:57.280 It is the most likely reason for a black woman to die in pregnancy or postpartum is homicide 0.99

00:51:05.240 far more than their white, their Hispanic, or their Asian counterparts, and it's usually 1.00

00:51:10.000 their domestic partner.

00:51:12.200 So here's my question.

00:51:15.300 Why aren't we talking about that?

00:51:17.120 Well, I think we know the answer.

00:51:18.520 Because the people who like to only peddle one part of the story, one statistic that

00:51:25.800 they think can back up their claim, really, it's about goals for them.

00:51:29.320 They want to take over, progressives always want to take over a particular institution and

00:51:33.700 remake it into their own image.

00:51:35.280 And if they can misuse or use a statistic and just conclude that the reason for that statistic

00:51:40.740 is because of racism or because of discrimination, then they can use that as the justification

00:51:46.120 to try to change the health care system in general to make it more, quote, equitable.

00:51:51.020 And we've already talked about the problems with that.

00:51:52.980 But if they really cared about women, and in particular, black women, if they really cared

00:51:57.240 about the maternal mortality rate among black women, then we would be talking about the number 0.94

00:52:02.740 one killer of black pregnant women, which is homicide.

00:52:06.380 We'd be talking about that a lot more, wouldn't we? 0.97

00:52:08.220 But we're not.

00:52:10.320 Because just like with Black Lives Matter, who only talk about one kind of death, the 1.00

00:52:14.480 goal is not actually to save lives.

00:52:16.540 The goal is not actually justice.

00:52:18.520 The goal is revolution.

00:52:20.160 The goal is to take over.

00:52:21.600 The goal is progressivism, communism, institutional capture.

00:52:26.480 It's not actually to help the victims and the most vulnerable.

00:52:29.640 Again, if we were, we would be talking about the homicides, which is one of the most likely

00:52:36.400 killers of black males, and we would be talking about the homicide, which is the most likely 0.97

00:52:39.720 killer of pregnant and postpartum black women. 1.00

00:52:44.120 Wow. 0.99

00:52:44.460 That's a tough pill to swallow when you are told that every disparity that exists is only

00:52:49.060 because of systemic racism.

00:52:50.780 Every injustice that is endured by non-white people in the United States is because of white 1.00

00:52:55.960 people.

00:52:56.740 Well, I mean, there's a million different stories that we could list that disprove that.

00:53:00.480 But especially when it comes to caring for women, which I care about, I don't want these 1.00

00:53:05.100 women to be dying in this way. 1.00

00:53:06.120 Shouldn't we be talking about that?

00:53:07.580 Like, why is that?

00:53:09.600 Shouldn't we be digging a little bit further into that if we actually care about women and 1.00

00:53:13.080 their babies?

00:53:13.580 But I think we have, we've already noted today how the Democratic Party, and I'm sure the

00:53:19.360 Republican Party in a lot of ways too, but the Democratic Party, the people who say that

00:53:23.780 they are on the front lines for women, that they care about the most vulnerable, that

00:53:27.460 they are actually the ones who are quickest to sacrifice children on the altar of their

00:53:33.880 progressive policies and ignore the true threats to women if it doesn't advance their agenda. 1.00

00:53:40.300 That's wicked.

00:53:41.300 That's wicked.

00:53:42.100 We'll have to talk more about all of that on another episode and expound upon it.

00:53:46.400 But I just wanted to share that with you because I thought it was interesting.

00:53:49.500 All right.

00:53:50.200 That's all we've got time for today, and I will see you back here tomorrow.

00:53:53.580 We'll see you back here tomorrow.
