The John-Henry Westen Show - Famous Abortionist Becomes Pro-Life ｜ Doctor John Bruchalski's Conversion Story

00:00:00.000 Well, mercy now leads to the abortion clinics, the abortion facilities. Why?

00:00:07.740 Because we've unmoored words, logic, and language, thoughts, and ideas from beauty, truth, goodness, and justice.

00:00:23.400 Hey, my friends, do you want to see something amazing?

00:00:25.700 Not very often do we get to see someone on the other side.

00:00:32.100 Imagine someone who is performing abortions, then becoming someone who's pro-left.

00:00:40.400 We've heard of that before. Dr. Nathanson, everybody knows.

00:00:44.240 But what about getting to meet one up close and personal?

00:00:47.880 What about one who was raised in a good Catholic home, Polish no less, left it, became an abortionist, but then came back? 0.84

00:01:01.040 That's what we've got for you today.

00:01:03.500 We've got Dr. John Bruckowski with us, and his story is awesome.

00:01:08.900 You're going to want to stay tuned because this is a stunning story of redemption from one end of the spectrum to another.

00:01:19.420 It's a story of hope and a story of the incredible power of parents' prayers.

00:01:27.920 This is The John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:01:30.580 Hello, dear LifeSite viewers. We are living in a moment of truth.

00:01:36.780 Each day, we encounter the evils of the woke agenda, especially during this month of June,

00:01:41.440 as the woke corporations, they continue to infiltrate our homes via the media.

00:01:46.880 Now, this month, the mainstream media works overtime to spread false teaching

00:01:51.300 and make a mockery of traditional families and the Christian values we hold most dear.

00:01:56.560 But look around. Look at the pushback against Bud Light and Target.

00:02:01.100 People are finally starting to wake up, and they're actually looking.

00:02:05.960 They're looking for the clarity and answers.

00:02:08.540 So this is our moment to give the world what they need so desperately, the truth.

00:02:15.440 We have a golden opportunity right now.

00:02:18.660 There's a surge of interest, and we need to jump on it to give the public the truth on life, faith, family, and freedom

00:02:24.500 that they so desperately need.

00:02:26.480 But you know what? We can't do that without you.

00:02:28.580 We are in the midst of a quarterly summer fundraising campaign,

00:02:32.300 and we are in need of your support, both prayerful and financial.

00:02:36.220 We must raise a minimum of $500,000 before June 30th.

00:02:40.820 So please donate at the link in the description below and be on the lookout,

00:02:44.960 as LifeSite will be on the road during this month of June,

00:02:49.140 heading to Los Angeles, to Chicago, to Washington, D.C.,

00:02:52.360 all to shed the light of truth during this critical time.

00:02:56.660 Thank you so much for your prayers and for your support and your dedication.

00:03:00.960 Let's take advantage of this moment, and by the grace of God,

00:03:04.520 may our efforts serve Him and His truth, and may that bear much fruit.

00:03:09.100 For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston.

00:03:11.220 May God bless you.

00:03:14.440 Dr. John Borkowski, welcome to the program.

00:03:17.200 Oh, it's good to be with you, John Henry.

00:03:19.940 Let's begin, as you always do, with the sign of the cross.

00:03:22.360 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

00:03:27.740 Amen.

00:03:28.160 Amen.

00:03:29.480 So, a lot of people want to hear your story,

00:03:34.260 because it's such a unique story.

00:03:36.520 Who moves from one end of the spectrum to another,

00:03:40.400 particularly in this field, which is so...

00:03:44.280 So, you've come from a place on the opposite side,

00:03:51.440 but engaging in the very thing right now that you're fighting.

00:03:54.560 You're saving lives, and you were ending them before.

00:03:57.900 Take us through that from the beginning, if you can.

00:04:01.560 Tell us where you started out.

00:04:02.580 Sure.

00:04:04.460 I started out in a great Catholic, pro-life, pro-anti-communist,

00:04:16.820 Polish family in northern New Jersey.

00:04:20.860 I was the oldest of three.

00:04:22.340 My dad was a high school schoolteacher teaching civics and Latin and religion.

00:04:31.040 What makes men good Christians makes them good citizens.

00:04:35.720 Daniel Webster was over his blackboard.

00:04:38.480 And my parents gave me, by example,

00:04:45.320 praying the rosary every morning before school,

00:04:48.120 being an altar boy,

00:04:50.560 going to the march for life.

00:04:54.880 I was shooting baskets on that January day when Roe passed.

00:05:02.580 My dad drove in with his Volkswagen and said,

00:05:05.000 Johnny, it's Black Monday.

00:05:07.040 I remember it.

00:05:09.280 And I didn't quite understand what was the issue.

00:05:13.000 They just legalized, he said,

00:05:15.000 the murdering of babies inside the wombs of their mother.

00:05:19.020 I think I was 12.

00:05:21.260 I'm not sure I really realized what that meant.

00:05:25.380 But as my life went, as the Lord would have it,

00:05:30.500 I drifted from a God-fearer to a man and woman pleaser.

00:05:39.320 Meaning my friends and my education was,

00:05:45.000 you know, I'm 62, John Henry.

00:05:47.600 I grew, you know, this was in the early 70s and early 80s.

00:05:52.660 And I faced and I consented to all the relativization

00:06:02.260 of what excellent Catholic health care was and could be.

00:06:08.540 And so slowly, but surely, not in one big chunk,

00:06:13.900 but slowly, I became a questioner and then a dissenter

00:06:18.720 for most of Catholic ethics,

00:06:22.140 whether it was in high school through the Salesians

00:06:24.840 or through the Jesuits in college.

00:06:29.620 It was situational ethics.

00:06:32.180 It was relativism.

00:06:36.740 You weigh the goods and bads.

00:06:40.220 You ask God for enlightenment,

00:06:43.720 but that's about it because conscience is king.

00:06:46.380 And so therefore you make proclamations.

00:06:49.440 And I just turned God into what I wanted him to be,

00:06:52.760 obviously.

00:06:54.260 And I ended up wanting to liberate women

00:06:58.820 from the chains of their fertility.

00:07:02.180 Can you imagine?

00:07:04.300 And it was so captivating

00:07:06.880 that I had a knack for listening to my female friends.

00:07:13.420 They would talk about being used

00:07:16.060 or needing to empower themselves.

00:07:20.640 And I just bought it hook, line, and sinker.

00:07:24.420 So when deciding what to do,

00:07:27.700 I thought I initially wanted to be

00:07:29.240 an agent of some alphabet agency early on.

00:07:35.940 But no, I wanted to become a physician

00:07:38.280 because actually an OBGYN,

00:07:40.660 because I had a knack for listening to women's problems 1.00

00:07:44.940 and going through college

00:07:48.540 and then getting into medical school

00:07:50.360 at the University of South Alabama.

00:07:52.000 I was not a radical ideologue,

00:07:55.700 but I bought the lie that abortion was good for women. 0.99

00:08:01.760 Contraception was needed,

00:08:03.680 and abortion was needed as for failed contraception.

00:08:07.700 And you would sterilize yourself after your two children 0.92

00:08:11.080 because that would eliminate that problem.

00:08:14.140 And, oh, by the way, we can build embryos

00:08:17.140 like we build loaves of bread.

00:08:19.440 They're really your property.

00:08:21.100 They're not really full humans

00:08:24.400 equal to what I would consider conscious adults.

00:08:30.220 The whole line.

00:08:32.500 And slowly but surely,

00:08:35.880 they start off with,

00:08:38.000 oh, you just write this prescription.

00:08:39.780 You do this in the clinic.

00:08:41.180 You put in this IUD.

00:08:42.600 But then someone asked me,

00:08:45.520 a great teacher, a mentor of mine said,

00:08:47.480 do you want to do an abortion? 1.00

00:08:48.880 I said, you know,

00:08:49.960 he goes, I know your background.

00:08:51.920 I said, well,

00:08:52.480 I want to be the best gynecologist I can be.

00:08:55.060 Being Polish, I wanted to be the best.

00:08:57.960 I had to prove myself

00:08:59.340 because I didn't want to dump it on somebody else.

00:09:02.740 It was too common to hear silence

00:09:05.220 from the church back then,

00:09:07.740 silence from my doctors

00:09:10.080 who I tried to ask questions of.

00:09:12.600 Abortion.

00:09:14.360 And lo and behold,

00:09:15.180 you start off with the little ones

00:09:16.920 where there's no bones.

00:09:19.060 And you do the procedure,

00:09:21.000 the DNC.

00:09:22.840 And it comes out

00:09:24.200 in a mass of blood and tissue.

00:09:27.520 There's no bones.

00:09:28.480 You don't see anything.

00:09:29.980 Well, that wasn't that bad.

00:09:31.280 And then as you get more and more acclimated,

00:09:37.740 they then,

00:09:38.940 for your residency,

00:09:39.800 because I went to the Eastern Virginia School of Medicine,

00:09:42.680 the home of the Jones Institute,

00:09:44.420 where the first U.S. test tube baby was made in 1981,

00:09:49.480 Elizabeth Carr.

00:09:50.320 They were a contraceptive research and development center.

00:09:54.640 Now, they didn't push abortion,

00:09:56.460 but it was available if you wanted to learn.

00:09:59.400 Well, you started doing elective abortions 0.98

00:10:04.000 on 10, 11, 12, 13-weekers,

00:10:07.760 where there's bones now.

00:10:09.440 Calcium is depositing.

00:10:11.160 And you have to count body parts

00:10:13.120 after you do the DNC.

00:10:14.980 But since we didn't do elective abortions a lot, 1.00

00:10:19.840 we did do eugenic abortions. 0.99

00:10:22.700 A child is sick in the womb of its mother. 0.95

00:10:25.280 So the way you do that is mercy.

00:10:27.380 As Flannery O'Connor says,

00:10:28.880 Flannery, you know,

00:10:30.080 mercy leads what?

00:10:31.240 To the gas chamber.

00:10:32.900 That was the 1940s.

00:10:34.640 Well, mercy now leads to the abortion clinics,

00:10:39.840 the abortion facilities.

00:10:41.360 Why?

00:10:41.620 Because we've unmoored words, logic, and language,

00:10:46.560 thoughts and ideas from beauty, truth, goodness, and justice.

00:10:52.420 Once you have that,

00:10:54.920 might makes right.

00:10:57.480 There is no God,

00:10:58.600 or there may be a God,

00:11:00.020 but he's kind of a deist.

00:11:01.440 He's kind of let us alone,

00:11:03.680 watchmaker, you know, all that.

00:11:06.800 And you find yourself truly in the slot.

00:11:11.620 So can you imagine here?

00:11:13.320 I was growing up in a good family.

00:11:15.080 I even told my parents,

00:11:17.180 John Henry,

00:11:17.940 guys, you're wrong.

00:11:20.360 I'm doing abortions 0.95

00:11:21.780 because it's good medicine.

00:11:25.340 Get over it.

00:11:27.160 Can you imagine?

00:11:27.840 Do you mind?

00:11:28.840 I, yeah,

00:11:30.120 unfortunately I can't imagine

00:11:31.460 because I,

00:11:32.220 I sort of been there, done that.

00:11:35.020 I was raised by a saint of a dad.

00:11:38.740 Let me ask you this.

00:11:41.080 What,

00:11:42.180 in your recollection,

00:11:44.140 as you were going through this metamorphosis

00:11:46.980 from a good home,

00:11:48.560 from a good father,

00:11:50.060 what do you recall

00:11:52.500 of the first sort of

00:11:54.400 movies?

00:11:55.620 I know you described,

00:11:56.600 you were at Catholic schools

00:11:57.780 and it was relativism,

00:12:00.020 but

00:12:00.140 do you remember a time

00:12:02.000 when

00:12:02.340 you thought to yourself,

00:12:03.940 hmm,

00:12:04.740 this is probably wrong,

00:12:05.680 but I'm going to go for it anyway.

00:12:07.560 Oh yeah, sure.

00:12:10.020 One of the guys

00:12:10.840 on our baseball team

00:12:11.980 in high school

00:12:13.100 got a woman,

00:12:14.220 got a girl pregnant.

00:12:19.780 And

00:12:20.380 out of wedlock,

00:12:22.920 it was one of those moments

00:12:28.440 that I knew

00:12:29.180 that was

00:12:30.060 not healthy,

00:12:32.320 not good.

00:12:33.900 But since he was my shortstop

00:12:35.920 or my center fielder,

00:12:42.580 you know,

00:12:43.200 God is merciful,

00:12:44.340 God is love,

00:12:46.720 meet him where he is,

00:12:49.000 whatever he needs.

00:12:50.420 it was that first

00:12:53.240 cognitive dissonance.

00:12:55.580 It was that first wave.

00:12:58.780 A guy my age

00:13:00.000 admitted

00:13:02.600 several difficult things

00:13:06.300 in the locker room

00:13:07.920 of a

00:13:08.780 baseball,

00:13:10.280 on a baseball field.

00:13:12.660 And

00:13:13.380 it was the first

00:13:15.240 chink 1.00

00:13:16.640 in that

00:13:17.380 constant.

00:13:19.240 Now my parents

00:13:20.400 thought they were

00:13:20.920 sending me to these

00:13:21.640 good schools

00:13:22.200 that they would

00:13:22.700 reinforce

00:13:23.340 their

00:13:25.100 Polish

00:13:27.120 culture.

00:13:28.980 They expected that.

00:13:31.840 No,

00:13:32.740 it wasn't.

00:13:33.440 It was actually

00:13:34.140 it became watered down

00:13:36.220 and that was the first

00:13:37.260 and that's what just

00:13:38.000 started.

00:13:39.520 You know,

00:13:39.700 you get used to

00:13:40.420 something

00:13:40.880 just like in my

00:13:42.300 you know

00:13:44.240 doing the abortions.

00:13:47.560 it was very slow

00:13:48.800 at first.

00:13:49.680 You do the little

00:13:50.240 ones.

00:13:50.760 Oh,

00:13:50.960 that's it.

00:13:51.740 Well,

00:13:51.860 then you ask

00:13:52.420 to do bigger

00:13:53.020 ones and then

00:13:53.760 you don't want

00:13:54.780 to disappoint

00:13:55.400 your mentors

00:13:56.080 and get bad

00:13:57.000 recommendations.

00:13:58.440 The pressure

00:13:59.340 of being

00:14:00.300 canceled back

00:14:01.460 then wasn't

00:14:02.020 called canceled.

00:14:03.520 It was,

00:14:04.760 you know,

00:14:06.080 you're just not

00:14:06.680 cut out for

00:14:07.580 this,

00:14:08.320 John.

00:14:08.840 I can't argue

00:14:09.940 with any faith

00:14:10.820 issues,

00:14:11.340 but you're not

00:14:12.140 cut out.

00:14:13.420 But so here

00:14:13.960 I was

00:14:14.560 slowly.

00:14:16.040 So here

00:14:16.360 I am

00:14:16.840 in my

00:14:17.720 residency.

00:14:19.640 Believe it

00:14:20.260 or not,

00:14:20.660 I'm driving,

00:14:21.540 I'm near,

00:14:22.220 I'm in Virginia

00:14:22.820 Beach,

00:14:23.380 Norfolk,

00:14:23.900 Virginia.

00:14:24.760 I'm driving

00:14:25.680 to the beach

00:14:26.420 and I see

00:14:27.000 a pregnancy

00:14:27.640 center run

00:14:28.880 by the Assembly

00:14:29.540 of God

00:14:29.980 Church.

00:14:30.380 Didn't know

00:14:30.700 what it was.

00:14:31.460 Walked in,

00:14:32.640 they're praying

00:14:33.120 to Jesus

00:14:33.660 saying,

00:14:34.180 Lord,

00:14:34.880 whoever comes

00:14:35.440 to this room,

00:14:36.080 let us help

00:14:36.780 them get

00:14:37.760 through this

00:14:38.440 difficult time,

00:14:39.480 this unwanted

00:14:40.260 child.

00:14:41.280 Let's help

00:14:41.760 them welcome

00:14:42.300 this child

00:14:42.880 into their

00:14:43.340 family.

00:14:43.960 I never,

00:14:46.140 I was fascinated

00:14:47.320 because I

00:14:47.960 thought it

00:14:48.300 was,

00:14:48.680 wow,

00:14:48.940 this is the

00:14:49.560 other side

00:14:50.100 of the

00:14:50.320 coin.

00:14:51.100 I could

00:14:51.500 do this,

00:14:52.120 I could

00:14:52.380 do both

00:14:53.060 because it's

00:14:54.800 really,

00:14:55.360 you know,

00:14:55.920 we're all

00:14:56.380 about patient

00:14:57.060 autonomy.

00:14:57.940 If the

00:14:58.440 woman wants 1.00

00:14:59.040 it,

00:14:59.440 we do

00:14:59.780 one thing.

00:15:00.220 If the

00:15:00.380 woman doesn't 1.00

00:15:00.940 want it,

00:15:01.400 I mean the

00:15:01.820 baby,

00:15:02.580 we do

00:15:02.940 another because

00:15:03.980 whatever she

00:15:04.580 wants is

00:15:05.320 part of

00:15:06.260 justice,

00:15:07.000 maleficence,

00:15:07.820 beneficence,

00:15:08.920 the pillars,

00:15:10.020 the new

00:15:10.380 pillars of

00:15:12.780 bioethics.

00:15:13.960 so here

00:15:15.820 I am

00:15:16.240 doing that

00:15:17.080 at night

00:15:17.540 and during

00:15:18.080 the day

00:15:18.420 times doing

00:15:19.860 abortions as

00:15:20.660 just part of

00:15:21.440 the natural

00:15:22.000 course of

00:15:22.600 the day.

00:15:23.420 Can you

00:15:23.740 imagine

00:15:24.180 cognitive

00:15:25.240 dissonance

00:15:25.900 splitting the

00:15:26.720 schizophrenia

00:15:27.340 where often

00:15:29.760 the Lord has

00:15:30.400 to lead you

00:15:31.180 in order to

00:15:32.540 break you

00:15:33.280 because you

00:15:35.520 have to wake

00:15:36.140 up in the

00:15:36.620 slop, so to

00:15:37.500 speak, and

00:15:38.560 that's what

00:15:38.960 happened to

00:15:39.480 me.

00:15:39.800 one night

00:15:41.100 I'm in

00:15:42.420 one room

00:15:43.060 saving the

00:15:43.800 life of

00:15:44.200 a 23

00:15:44.840 week infant

00:15:46.740 inside its

00:15:47.600 mother.

00:15:48.580 The mother

00:15:49.000 wanted it,

00:15:50.120 the child

00:15:50.840 was welcome,

00:15:51.680 she was in

00:15:52.100 early labor,

00:15:53.300 and I was

00:15:53.760 doing everything

00:15:54.480 in my power

00:15:55.200 to help

00:15:56.180 keep that

00:15:56.700 child inside

00:15:57.720 mom so it

00:15:59.020 would have a

00:15:59.400 better,

00:15:59.880 healthier

00:16:00.220 outcome.

00:16:01.880 Medicine,

00:16:03.500 Trendelenburg,

00:16:04.520 gravity,

00:16:05.860 conversation,

00:16:07.180 soothing

00:16:07.560 conversation.

00:16:08.400 It's okay,

00:16:09.080 Jane, we're

00:16:10.020 going to

00:16:10.180 make it.

00:16:11.480 In the

00:16:12.080 very next

00:16:12.640 room, at

00:16:13.200 the same

00:16:13.800 gestational

00:16:14.520 age, the

00:16:16.960 mom didn't

00:16:17.460 want it,

00:16:18.220 never went

00:16:19.020 to a doctor,

00:16:21.580 went into

00:16:22.080 labor, came 0.55

00:16:22.740 into the

00:16:23.120 labor and

00:16:23.900 delivery, got

00:16:25.600 on my

00:16:26.120 schedule, so

00:16:27.620 separated by a

00:16:28.820 wall was the

00:16:29.560 same case.

00:16:31.020 Mother chose 0.98

00:16:32.280 not to want

00:16:33.320 it, I

00:16:34.480 didn't want

00:16:35.140 it, the

00:16:35.480 hospital didn't

00:16:36.220 want it, so

00:16:37.380 I broke

00:16:37.860 water,

00:16:38.400 gave her

00:16:38.900 medicine, and

00:16:40.340 aborted her

00:16:42.360 child.

00:16:43.960 The baby

00:16:44.720 came out

00:16:45.160 alive, so

00:16:46.280 it was a

00:16:46.800 failed

00:16:47.360 abortion.

00:16:49.300 I initially

00:16:50.260 thought about

00:16:50.800 just covering

00:16:51.500 it with a

00:16:52.300 cloth, a

00:16:53.340 towel, to

00:16:54.420 suffocate it

00:16:55.020 because I

00:16:55.220 didn't want to

00:16:55.640 hurt the

00:16:56.040 mother.

00:16:57.120 Remember,

00:16:57.500 abortion's 1.00

00:16:58.520 merciful, and

00:16:59.700 I don't want

00:17:00.100 to help her

00:17:00.620 see that what

00:17:01.320 she did was

00:17:02.220 inhuman,

00:17:03.460 because there's

00:17:04.460 crying, there's

00:17:05.680 noise-making,

00:17:06.420 medicine, but

00:17:07.820 rather than

00:17:08.360 doing that, I

00:17:09.080 was taught

00:17:09.720 pretty well, I

00:17:10.960 picked up this

00:17:12.020 fetus by the

00:17:13.040 head, but it

00:17:15.100 weighed a

00:17:15.540 little bit, it

00:17:16.200 felt heavy, so

00:17:17.740 I threw it on

00:17:18.380 a scale, and

00:17:19.660 it was five

00:17:20.480 grams over

00:17:21.560 500 grams.

00:17:23.440 In the state

00:17:23.940 of Virginia, you

00:17:25.460 have to call the

00:17:26.300 neonatal intensive

00:17:27.620 care unit to

00:17:29.260 resuscitate that

00:17:31.340 delivery.

00:17:32.780 so there I

00:17:36.220 am, saving a

00:17:37.640 baby in one

00:17:38.180 room, aborted a

00:17:39.480 baby in the

00:17:40.060 very next

00:17:40.660 room, and I

00:17:42.560 didn't do a

00:17:43.120 good history and

00:17:43.820 physical, John

00:17:44.660 Henry.

00:17:45.540 The baby was

00:17:46.500 older than I

00:17:47.400 thought, and

00:17:50.180 there I was

00:17:51.060 calling in the

00:17:51.920 NICU doctors,

00:17:53.460 and thank God I

00:17:55.160 did.

00:17:55.880 In walk, Dr.

00:17:56.980 Debbie Plum at

00:17:57.740 the time, she

00:17:59.680 looked at me,

00:18:00.280 looked at what

00:18:00.640 was happening, and

00:18:01.320 she says, hey,

00:18:01.880 stop treating my 0.99

00:18:03.260 patients as

00:18:03.940 tumors.

00:18:05.620 I have to care

00:18:06.540 for these

00:18:06.860 children.

00:18:07.580 You didn't

00:18:07.980 monitor, and

00:18:09.180 oh, by the

00:18:09.540 way, come see

00:18:10.200 me for coffee

00:18:10.860 tomorrow morning.

00:18:13.400 Can you

00:18:13.960 imagine?

00:18:14.700 I'm like, what?

00:18:15.880 Here I am taking

00:18:16.600 care of the

00:18:17.080 bleeding, making

00:18:17.740 sure my

00:18:18.260 patient, the

00:18:18.940 woman, because 1.00

00:18:20.060 remember, I

00:18:20.440 didn't treat two

00:18:21.200 patients in that

00:18:21.980 case, so the

00:18:23.840 book that I

00:18:24.360 wrote through

00:18:24.840 Ignatius Press is

00:18:25.700 called Two

00:18:26.120 Patients.

00:18:26.760 Why?

00:18:27.680 It's about the

00:18:28.280 intimate connection

00:18:29.020 between mother and

00:18:30.500 her unborn

00:18:31.340 child.

00:18:31.880 that connection

00:18:34.060 through the

00:18:34.560 placenta that

00:18:35.300 is intimate and

00:18:36.220 complex.

00:18:37.660 It's where the

00:18:38.600 family is created.

00:18:39.940 It's where mothers 1.00

00:18:40.520 and fathers and

00:18:41.680 family happen in

00:18:44.720 that womb, in

00:18:45.800 that uterus. 0.95

00:18:47.000 And it's us

00:18:47.760 OBGYNs who care 0.95

00:18:49.220 for both

00:18:50.460 patients.

00:18:52.080 So here I am

00:18:53.000 struggling.

00:18:54.780 She keeps her

00:18:56.580 end of the

00:18:57.020 bargain.

00:18:57.520 I keep my end.

00:18:58.360 I go see her

00:18:58.980 that morning.

00:18:59.540 She goes,

00:18:59.980 John, you're

00:19:01.080 better than

00:19:01.580 this.

00:19:03.200 You are so

00:19:04.280 much better

00:19:05.200 than this.

00:19:07.020 You know, you

00:19:07.460 told me in the

00:19:08.220 past that you

00:19:08.720 were once

00:19:09.120 Catholic.

00:19:10.120 I have to tell

00:19:11.100 you, you have a

00:19:11.840 knack for women's 0.98

00:19:13.260 health.

00:19:14.000 You listen.

00:19:15.680 You're ingenious.

00:19:16.920 They line up in

00:19:17.660 lines for you.

00:19:18.880 You're good at

00:19:19.460 PMS.

00:19:20.140 You're good at

00:19:20.540 endometriosis.

00:19:21.340 We talk about

00:19:23.200 it.

00:19:24.980 I want you to

00:19:25.940 know that you're

00:19:26.360 an excellent

00:19:26.940 obstetrician.

00:19:28.640 But regarding

00:19:29.620 abortion, you 1.00

00:19:31.500 need to rethink

00:19:32.180 this.

00:19:33.500 Those are my

00:19:34.300 patients and

00:19:35.140 you're treating

00:19:35.620 them like tumors.

00:19:37.220 And that makes

00:19:37.760 no scientific

00:19:38.520 sense.

00:19:40.560 By the way, I

00:19:41.780 just got back

00:19:42.520 from a

00:19:43.040 pilgrimage

00:19:44.260 that I went

00:19:45.220 with Steubenville

00:19:47.280 University to a

00:19:49.360 Marion site in

00:19:50.460 Yugoslavia.

00:19:52.280 I think you

00:19:53.280 need to go.

00:19:54.260 I said, listen,

00:19:55.360 that was for my

00:19:56.320 younger days.

00:19:57.460 Fatima, Lourdes,

00:19:58.600 yeah, Guadalupe.

00:19:59.820 Yeah, I even

00:20:00.480 heard at Guadalupe,

00:20:01.560 why are you

00:20:02.040 hurting me?

00:20:02.980 But I was

00:20:03.940 drinking for

00:20:04.780 lunch.

00:20:05.220 I had some

00:20:05.800 beers.

00:20:06.620 It wasn't

00:20:07.180 anything.

00:20:09.120 Two days later,

00:20:09.820 my mother calls

00:20:10.520 and says, hey,

00:20:11.120 John, what are

00:20:11.860 you doing for

00:20:12.220 winter break?

00:20:12.860 It's 1989.

00:20:14.840 Do you want

00:20:15.280 to go to

00:20:16.120 Yugoslavia with 0.56

00:20:16.960 me and see your

00:20:17.680 favorite city,

00:20:18.420 Dubrovnik?

00:20:20.180 Well, I can't

00:20:21.200 turn back on my

00:20:23.580 mom, so I went

00:20:25.040 with her.

00:20:25.800 We ended up on a

00:20:26.880 hill in Yugoslavia 0.89

00:20:28.080 in Medjugorje, and

00:20:29.680 it was there in

00:20:30.580 prayer, not

00:20:32.300 wanting to, you

00:20:33.140 know, with my

00:20:33.680 Bible, going to

00:20:35.140 or beginning to

00:20:36.180 go to an

00:20:36.720 evangelical church.

00:20:38.080 in my prayer, I

00:20:42.320 had an engagement

00:20:43.420 with the sacred

00:20:46.220 and immaculate

00:20:46.900 hearts.

00:20:49.180 She helped

00:20:51.420 me touch the

00:20:53.960 sacred, beating,

00:20:56.460 merciful heart of

00:20:58.540 her son.

00:20:59.000 It's in my

00:21:02.540 prayer.

00:21:03.220 It's in my

00:21:03.920 prayer only.

00:21:06.600 I fell face

00:21:08.180 down because I'm

00:21:09.000 a man of

00:21:09.400 unclean lips.

00:21:10.320 I'm not

00:21:10.820 worthy.

00:21:11.820 I see my

00:21:12.580 whole body

00:21:13.120 covered in

00:21:13.700 the scales of

00:21:14.480 leprosy, a

00:21:16.080 case that I

00:21:16.660 took care of

00:21:17.480 once in my

00:21:18.820 medical school,

00:21:20.560 leprosy from

00:21:21.580 a woman from

00:21:22.160 Vietnam.

00:21:24.120 But I saw my

00:21:25.120 body covered in

00:21:25.980 sores.

00:21:26.500 and she

00:21:31.000 helped me

00:21:31.500 up and

00:21:33.980 touching the

00:21:35.220 heart, scales

00:21:37.740 came off my

00:21:38.520 eyes.

00:21:39.080 The scales on

00:21:39.740 my skin fell

00:21:40.560 off in my

00:21:41.880 prayer.

00:21:43.680 And she

00:21:44.440 said,

00:21:44.780 Johnny, do

00:21:46.420 you want to

00:21:46.660 help renew

00:21:47.140 the face of

00:21:48.040 the earth in

00:21:48.900 medicine with

00:21:51.260 my son in

00:21:52.920 prayer?

00:21:54.580 Practice

00:21:55.180 excellent

00:21:55.680 medicine,

00:21:56.100 see the

00:21:56.660 underserved

00:21:57.120 alongside the

00:21:58.520 served.

00:21:59.400 So see the

00:22:00.020 underserved

00:22:00.660 alongside the

00:22:01.660 served.

00:22:02.200 And three,

00:22:03.220 follow the

00:22:03.780 teachings of

00:22:04.400 my son's

00:22:05.060 church in

00:22:06.220 scripture and

00:22:07.840 tradition,

00:22:09.020 especially in

00:22:10.300 medicine.

00:22:11.800 And oh, by

00:22:12.560 the way, when

00:22:13.920 you walk off

00:22:14.620 the hill, go

00:22:15.320 show yourself

00:22:16.020 to a priest.

00:22:16.780 so here I

00:22:22.300 am, afraid,

00:22:28.340 shaking, but

00:22:32.480 somehow beginning

00:22:33.760 to have

00:22:34.520 peace, knowing

00:22:36.860 that I'm

00:22:37.360 loved for the

00:22:38.560 first time in

00:22:39.120 my life, through

00:22:40.660 my prayer, on

00:22:42.280 that hill, with

00:22:43.620 my mother, both

00:22:45.420 earthly mother

00:22:46.140 and heavenly

00:22:47.320 mother.

00:22:49.960 And there

00:22:50.940 I go to

00:22:53.120 confession behind

00:22:54.880 the St.

00:22:56.360 James church, if

00:22:57.340 I remember

00:22:57.740 correctly.

00:22:59.380 Bless me,

00:22:59.720 Father, if I

00:23:00.080 have sinned.

00:23:00.640 It's been, I

00:23:01.520 don't know, over

00:23:02.240 10 years since

00:23:03.380 my last

00:23:03.840 confession.

00:23:05.200 Last week, I

00:23:07.180 chose to

00:23:09.020 dismember a

00:23:10.580 two-pound

00:23:10.980 infant.

00:23:11.320 And then it

00:23:13.060 just came

00:23:13.560 out.

00:23:14.520 And I

00:23:15.140 cried, and I

00:23:15.960 cried, and I

00:23:16.740 cried, and

00:23:19.420 I was

00:23:21.780 forgiven.

00:23:24.360 So I

00:23:25.920 came back to

00:23:27.020 the Catholic

00:23:27.460 faith at that

00:23:28.140 moment, came

00:23:29.360 back, told my

00:23:30.060 fellow residents

00:23:30.920 that I can't

00:23:31.940 abort, I

00:23:33.020 can't sterilize,

00:23:34.100 I've seen the

00:23:34.740 light, it all

00:23:35.900 makes sense,

00:23:37.540 you know, that

00:23:39.160 there is a way

00:23:39.820 to do life

00:23:40.380 affirming

00:23:40.760 medicine.

00:23:42.060 But I

00:23:43.020 haven't seen

00:23:43.580 it yet, but I

00:23:44.540 know it's out

00:23:45.160 there.

00:23:46.120 So I come

00:23:46.640 home, and over

00:23:47.800 time, my wife

00:23:49.120 and I start

00:23:49.700 Tepeak Family 0.89

00:23:50.620 Center, OB-GYN,

00:23:51.820 out of our

00:23:52.180 basement, doing

00:23:54.540 just that.

00:23:56.020 We were a

00:23:56.800 for-profit, we

00:23:58.060 then said, you

00:23:58.720 know what, we're

00:23:59.540 just going to

00:23:59.860 take our margin

00:24:00.520 and put it back

00:24:01.240 in and see all

00:24:02.760 the pregnancy

00:24:03.300 center kids that

00:24:04.220 we can find.

00:24:05.280 Mother Teresa

00:24:05.960 said, oh,

00:24:06.540 Johnny, bring

00:24:07.080 Calcutta to

00:24:08.340 Fairfax, the

00:24:09.740 DMV, so to

00:24:10.920 speak.

00:24:12.660 And everything

00:24:14.240 at that moment

00:24:15.080 became not

00:24:17.540 easier by any

00:24:18.540 stretch, but you

00:24:20.540 had to learn to

00:24:21.480 trust financially,

00:24:23.760 spiritually,

00:24:24.700 anthropologically,

00:24:25.860 socially,

00:24:26.400 medically, you

00:24:28.040 had to trust the

00:24:31.080 integration of faith

00:24:32.480 and reason, body

00:24:34.520 and soul, mother

00:24:36.740 and virgin, all the

00:24:38.300 paradoxes of the

00:24:39.280 faith.

00:24:40.040 And that's a

00:24:40.840 painful issue, but

00:24:42.440 it's also very

00:24:43.200 worth it, because

00:24:44.600 the glory to

00:24:45.320 come and the

00:24:46.840 fact of being

00:24:47.520 loved by Abba,

00:24:49.500 Adonai, is

00:24:52.780 beyond description.

00:24:54.120 And it's that

00:24:57.020 that generated

00:24:57.980 Tepiak OBGYN.

00:25:00.980 Yes, we did a

00:25:01.900 perinatal hospice.

00:25:03.040 Rather than end

00:25:04.560 the life and

00:25:05.240 shorten the time

00:25:05.900 that a mom has

00:25:06.580 with her sick

00:25:07.080 child in utero,

00:25:08.660 no, become a

00:25:10.080 perinatal hospice.

00:25:12.060 Give her time

00:25:13.100 with her child,

00:25:13.900 because that's the

00:25:14.420 only time she may

00:25:15.180 have, that's how

00:25:16.180 sick these children 0.54

00:25:17.140 are. 0.99

00:25:18.480 No, don't provide

00:25:19.660 class one carcinogens

00:25:21.040 to prevent

00:25:22.160 pregnancy and

00:25:23.660 all the side

00:25:24.260 effects that

00:25:24.820 goes along with

00:25:25.620 that.

00:25:26.640 Use fertility 0.77

00:25:27.460 awareness-based

00:25:28.600 methods, NFP

00:25:30.260 back then.

00:25:32.140 Teach them the

00:25:32.980 language of their

00:25:33.820 body.

00:25:35.760 Don't disrupt

00:25:36.700 fertility, because 0.63

00:25:37.840 it's healthy.

00:25:39.180 Why would you

00:25:39.740 disrupt something

00:25:40.760 healthy?

00:25:43.060 It's the list

00:25:43.540 went on and

00:25:44.020 on.

00:25:45.820 And the whole

00:25:46.880 package

00:25:47.760 fit.

00:25:49.540 we now call

00:25:50.460 it life-affirming

00:25:51.220 medicine.

00:25:53.140 And because

00:25:54.180 of the

00:25:55.080 economics, and

00:25:56.080 every single

00:25:56.980 accountant who

00:25:57.980 ever looked at

00:25:58.460 us said, hey,

00:25:58.900 you've got to

00:25:59.200 stop seeing

00:25:59.980 the poor,

00:26:01.040 John, you

00:26:01.980 know, or

00:26:02.680 the far,

00:26:04.260 far, you

00:26:05.380 know, one

00:26:05.840 side, oh, you

00:26:06.740 can't see, you

00:26:07.940 can't do social

00:26:09.040 justice, you

00:26:10.200 can't see the

00:26:10.980 underserved.

00:26:12.500 But wait a

00:26:12.980 second, we can

00:26:13.880 do both.

00:26:15.220 Gospel of

00:26:15.860 life is the

00:26:17.880 foundation for

00:26:19.100 social action.

00:26:21.360 Because it's

00:26:22.200 prayer that's

00:26:23.080 at the

00:26:23.360 foundation of

00:26:24.160 both.

00:26:25.540 It's the

00:26:26.240 prayer every

00:26:26.940 day that

00:26:27.500 fills our

00:26:28.800 medicine.

00:26:30.260 Not to

00:26:31.080 make it less

00:26:32.320 scientific, but

00:26:34.440 to see how the

00:26:35.140 two integrate.

00:26:36.540 We never pit

00:26:37.200 mom against

00:26:37.760 baby.

00:26:38.840 We don't

00:26:39.260 ever kill

00:26:40.140 the baby to 1.00

00:26:40.760 save the

00:26:41.240 mom.

00:26:41.740 You care for

00:26:42.220 both.

00:26:43.080 The technology

00:26:43.840 over the last

00:26:44.440 50 years, as

00:26:46.600 the other side

00:26:47.860 tries to

00:26:48.360 confuse

00:26:48.960 miscarriage

00:26:49.740 ectopics with

00:26:51.240 abortion.

00:26:52.740 No, you

00:26:53.380 continually

00:26:54.040 speak and

00:26:56.340 act.

00:26:57.060 No, no, no,

00:26:57.460 we don't do

00:26:57.900 it.

00:26:58.820 We always

00:26:59.620 treat disease.

00:27:00.700 We never

00:27:01.020 treat patients

00:27:02.000 with the

00:27:02.560 disease.

00:27:03.540 We always

00:27:04.060 target the

00:27:04.840 disease.

00:27:05.980 We don't

00:27:06.580 get rid of

00:27:07.360 patients through

00:27:08.460 euthanasia,

00:27:09.500 whether they're

00:27:10.100 babies or old

00:27:11.100 people.

00:27:12.200 You always

00:27:13.380 treat the

00:27:14.080 disease.

00:27:15.200 Our technology,

00:27:16.200 our pain

00:27:17.260 management,

00:27:18.620 our science

00:27:19.960 has improved

00:27:21.400 five decades

00:27:22.580 alongside

00:27:23.140 Roe,

00:27:24.400 alongside

00:27:24.920 abortion on

00:27:26.400 demand,

00:27:27.280 and even

00:27:28.040 after birth

00:27:29.300 now.

00:27:30.620 The world's

00:27:31.680 gone crazy,

00:27:32.400 it seems,

00:27:33.780 and yet

00:27:34.720 this methodology,

00:27:36.360 we've now

00:27:36.800 become a

00:27:37.220 not-for-profit

00:27:38.020 at Tepiak.

00:27:39.700 Divine

00:27:40.000 Mercy Care

00:27:40.600 is the

00:27:40.940 overarching

00:27:41.600 umbrella

00:27:42.200 where we

00:27:43.640 actually help

00:27:44.660 raise funds,

00:27:45.480 to cover

00:27:46.800 the delta,

00:27:48.020 to provide

00:27:49.180 a decent

00:27:49.820 wage for

00:27:51.260 our 20-plus

00:27:53.340 staff,

00:27:54.440 but we

00:27:55.360 also

00:27:56.060 beg for

00:27:58.200 alms.

00:27:59.260 I want to

00:27:59.660 say we're

00:27:59.960 almost like

00:28:00.300 the last

00:28:00.680 almshouse

00:28:01.260 in America.

00:28:02.560 Alms are 0.90

00:28:03.060 good for

00:28:03.540 the soul

00:28:04.160 individually

00:28:05.160 and in

00:28:06.640 community.

00:28:07.780 It's the

00:28:08.540 opposite

00:28:09.160 of

00:28:10.680 communism

00:28:12.040 and socialism

00:28:12.860 because it's

00:28:13.580 done for

00:28:15.440 the glory

00:28:16.080 of God,

00:28:17.220 the way

00:28:17.500 he designed

00:28:18.660 medicine.

00:28:22.040 Medicine's

00:28:22.540 an act

00:28:22.860 of mercy,

00:28:23.460 we call

00:28:23.860 it.

00:28:24.940 We talk

00:28:25.700 about health

00:28:26.200 as relational.

00:28:28.060 We talk

00:28:28.440 about medicine

00:28:29.820 as an act

00:28:30.480 of mercy,

00:28:31.000 like housing

00:28:31.680 the homeless,

00:28:32.300 clothing the

00:28:32.780 naked,

00:28:33.300 visiting the

00:28:34.020 sick,

00:28:35.460 instructing the 1.00

00:28:36.240 ignorant, 1.00

00:28:36.900 counseling the 1.00

00:28:37.460 doubtful,

00:28:38.180 burying the

00:28:38.780 dead. 0.95

00:28:39.120 you become

00:28:41.480 a part of

00:28:42.100 the families

00:28:42.740 in your

00:28:43.720 community.

00:28:44.740 You suffer

00:28:45.340 when they

00:28:45.780 suffer,

00:28:46.480 you are

00:28:47.040 happy when

00:28:47.660 they are

00:28:48.040 happy.

00:28:50.040 It's

00:28:50.680 always both

00:28:51.600 and.

00:28:52.940 And then

00:28:53.180 finally,

00:28:53.960 by hating

00:28:55.080 the disease

00:28:55.780 but loving

00:28:56.800 the patient,

00:28:57.820 and by the

00:28:58.260 way,

00:28:59.000 when we've

00:28:59.540 gone across

00:29:00.000 the country

00:29:00.460 to 60

00:29:00.960 medical

00:29:01.300 schools,

00:29:01.860 we usually

00:29:02.260 get applause

00:29:03.380 for some

00:29:04.020 of these

00:29:04.340 lines because

00:29:06.560 they've never

00:29:07.600 heard this

00:29:08.180 before.

00:29:10.000 And when

00:29:10.740 you choose

00:29:11.540 your words

00:29:12.280 carefully,

00:29:13.200 you can

00:29:14.340 use diversity,

00:29:16.500 equity,

00:29:17.280 ecology,

00:29:17.860 and show

00:29:20.580 the other

00:29:22.920 who may

00:29:23.480 criticize you

00:29:24.600 that there

00:29:25.960 is a way

00:29:26.420 to do that

00:29:26.980 even better

00:29:27.700 than they're

00:29:28.180 doing it,

00:29:29.100 more inclusive,

00:29:30.760 more open,

00:29:32.820 more truthful,

00:29:34.260 more beautiful,

00:29:35.440 more good.

00:29:36.560 And that's

00:29:39.840 what's

00:29:40.060 happened over

00:29:40.520 the last

00:29:40.980 30 plus

00:29:42.680 years of

00:29:44.200 at

00:29:44.540 Tepiak 0.95

00:29:45.060 OBGYN,

00:29:46.120 which is,

00:29:46.640 that's what

00:29:46.820 it's now

00:29:47.160 called,

00:29:47.980 and Divine

00:29:48.460 Mercy Care.

00:29:50.600 But it

00:29:50.820 also came...

00:29:51.640 And just so

00:29:51.780 everyone knows,

00:29:52.460 where are you

00:29:53.080 located?

00:29:54.200 We're in

00:29:54.680 Fairfax,

00:29:55.340 Virginia.

00:29:58.460 We've been

00:29:59.180 in the DMV

00:30:00.320 or the,

00:30:00.860 you know,

00:30:01.420 District

00:30:01.840 Maryland

00:30:02.740 and Virginia

00:30:03.380 area

00:30:03.920 since 1994.

00:30:08.480 I worked

00:30:09.540 at another

00:30:09.960 practice

00:30:10.540 in Silver

00:30:11.460 Spring,

00:30:11.880 Maryland

00:30:12.240 in 91

00:30:13.480 and 92

00:30:14.200 and 93.

00:30:16.360 They were

00:30:17.200 excellent,

00:30:17.920 but they

00:30:18.160 just didn't

00:30:18.580 go far

00:30:19.040 enough.

00:30:20.120 And I

00:30:20.540 knew what

00:30:21.560 the mother

00:30:22.300 had said

00:30:22.960 in my

00:30:23.820 prayer,

00:30:24.180 and I

00:30:24.580 also realized

00:30:25.380 that when I

00:30:25.780 went home,

00:30:26.540 my wife

00:30:27.040 was getting

00:30:28.140 impatient with

00:30:28.980 me,

00:30:30.240 living the

00:30:30.840 life,

00:30:31.180 living the

00:30:32.160 promises

00:30:33.600 that came

00:30:35.480 in our

00:30:35.820 prayer.

00:30:37.220 And so,

00:30:38.100 yeah,

00:30:39.960 it's been

00:30:40.740 good.

00:30:42.600 So I have

00:30:43.100 a number of

00:30:43.640 questions for you.

00:30:44.280 If you don't

00:30:44.680 mind,

00:30:44.860 I'm going to

00:30:45.100 take you

00:30:45.460 back a ways.

00:30:46.960 One of the

00:30:47.420 things that

00:30:48.100 is stunning

00:30:49.340 because it

00:30:49.800 matches up

00:30:50.760 so closely

00:30:51.460 with my

00:30:51.780 life,

00:30:53.540 your parents.

00:30:55.500 Let's go

00:30:56.180 back to

00:30:57.700 just before

00:30:59.180 your conversion,

00:30:59.800 your relationship

00:31:00.280 with your

00:31:00.600 dad.

00:31:01.560 How did

00:31:02.000 that play

00:31:02.720 out when

00:31:03.960 your dad

00:31:04.380 saw you

00:31:04.880 going into

00:31:05.280 abortion,

00:31:06.320 when he

00:31:06.620 saw your

00:31:06.960 conversion?

00:31:08.240 Tell us

00:31:08.560 about that.

00:31:51.140 perilous time.

00:31:52.120 May God bless you.

00:31:52.640 So, when I

00:31:57.540 finally told my

00:31:59.500 parents, because

00:32:00.320 remember, I'm a,

00:32:03.340 you know, I, I, I

00:32:05.960 am not forthright

00:32:07.400 oftentimes in my

00:32:10.060 past, and I

00:32:14.160 hesitated to tell

00:32:15.020 my parents until I

00:32:19.060 couldn't hold it

00:32:21.040 back any longer.

00:32:23.640 The, the duty

00:32:25.540 that I had to

00:32:26.300 inform them of

00:32:27.160 my actions, I

00:32:28.780 remember both my

00:32:29.620 mom and dad's

00:32:30.360 eyes, well, you

00:32:31.500 know, eyes

00:32:32.040 welled up with

00:32:32.700 tears, and they

00:32:35.280 didn't argue.

00:32:36.400 They just said

00:32:37.200 nothing.

00:32:37.600 They said, we

00:32:39.200 will continue to

00:32:40.280 pray for you, and

00:32:42.540 I can tell you

00:32:43.340 walking down that

00:32:45.140 hill, my mother

00:32:46.760 was in the little

00:32:48.660 home in our

00:32:50.240 second floor or

00:32:51.120 third floor

00:32:51.560 bedroom, waiting

00:32:53.600 for me, because

00:32:55.120 she couldn't walk

00:32:55.960 very much.

00:32:59.520 But when I

00:33:00.460 told them prior

00:33:01.560 to this, that I

00:33:02.760 was doing

00:33:03.280 terminate, that I

00:33:04.180 was doing 0.81

00:33:04.520 abortions, they

00:33:07.180 just looked at

00:33:09.280 me with this sad,

00:33:10.820 sad eyes and

00:33:12.140 said, we will

00:33:12.760 always pray for

00:33:14.180 you, for you

00:33:15.260 are always our

00:33:16.760 son.

00:33:18.580 We don't

00:33:19.340 agree at

00:33:20.220 all, but we

00:33:22.640 will never stop

00:33:23.400 praying, because

00:33:24.580 the grace and

00:33:25.640 mercy of Jesus

00:33:26.540 Christ, as good

00:33:27.600 Polish people

00:33:28.360 know, divine

00:33:29.940 mercy knows no

00:33:32.380 bounds or

00:33:33.560 limits.

00:33:34.020 and so I

00:33:46.900 came down the

00:33:47.620 hill after my

00:33:49.280 experience in

00:33:50.500 my prayer, and

00:33:51.960 I knew deep

00:33:53.300 in my heart that

00:33:53.940 it was the

00:33:54.380 rosaries and

00:33:55.340 the prayer of

00:33:56.020 my mom and

00:33:56.540 dad, and all

00:33:57.740 the people they

00:33:58.480 may have

00:33:59.120 mentioned it

00:33:59.760 to, I

00:34:00.600 never knew.

00:34:01.200 intercessory

00:34:03.500 prayer, John

00:34:04.300 Henry, is

00:34:04.920 real, and

00:34:07.200 it's the only

00:34:08.200 way for us

00:34:09.900 to lean into

00:34:11.160 the wounds of

00:34:12.020 Jesus Christ

00:34:12.820 from the

00:34:13.260 cross and

00:34:14.780 live a

00:34:16.280 redeemed

00:34:16.940 life.

00:34:17.980 We can't do

00:34:18.960 it on our

00:34:19.360 own.

00:34:20.100 We have to

00:34:20.740 be seeking

00:34:21.380 his love and

00:34:23.260 mercy.

00:34:24.080 We have to

00:34:24.640 be seekers, as

00:34:25.600 Pete Creep

00:34:26.120 would say,

00:34:28.020 seekers, and

00:34:31.120 we have to

00:34:32.200 pray, think,

00:34:34.780 and then

00:34:35.820 act.

00:34:37.360 It's part of

00:34:38.320 that mantra,

00:34:39.300 pray, trust,

00:34:39.880 and don't

00:34:40.180 worry.

00:34:41.420 Pray, think,

00:34:42.420 and act.

00:34:44.000 Benedict, or

00:34:45.900 Benedictine

00:34:46.580 spirituality.

00:34:48.280 You've got to

00:34:49.200 live it.

00:34:50.640 And when I

00:34:51.540 told my mom

00:34:52.320 that night,

00:34:53.560 or that

00:34:54.180 afternoon,

00:34:55.100 mom, your

00:34:57.560 prayers worked,

00:34:58.500 I will

00:35:01.100 never do

00:35:01.620 another

00:35:01.900 abortion

00:35:02.340 again.

00:35:03.020 In fact,

00:35:04.080 I will

00:35:04.660 do my

00:35:05.020 utmost

00:35:05.560 to make

00:35:08.900 abortion

00:35:09.360 unwanted

00:35:09.920 and children

00:35:10.580 welcomed.

00:35:14.660 I treated

00:35:15.640 children as

00:35:16.260 sexually 0.61

00:35:16.620 transmitted

00:35:17.180 disease,

00:35:17.840 John Henry.

00:35:20.600 But at

00:35:21.340 least what

00:35:23.040 Matthew 25

00:35:23.920 is all

00:35:24.480 about,

00:35:24.840 I tore

00:35:31.900 it up.

00:35:34.720 And yet,

00:35:36.280 God's

00:35:36.900 mercy

00:35:37.700 is

00:35:39.500 incredible.

00:35:41.560 Recently,

00:35:42.320 because of

00:35:42.760 the book,

00:35:43.180 and I have

00:35:43.500 to keep

00:35:43.760 talking,

00:35:44.280 telling the

00:35:44.720 story,

00:35:45.740 I've

00:35:46.000 gone back

00:35:46.540 to,

00:35:47.240 I've

00:35:47.940 gone and

00:35:48.760 started

00:35:49.980 Unbound,

00:35:51.200 that ministry

00:35:51.960 in the

00:35:52.280 Catholic

00:35:52.620 tradition

00:35:53.180 for

00:35:53.780 myself.

00:35:54.900 I used

00:35:55.420 to do

00:35:55.640 it in

00:35:55.800 the office

00:35:56.180 for my

00:35:56.680 patients.

00:35:58.280 And even

00:35:58.580 though the

00:35:59.040 mercy of

00:36:00.000 Jesus has,

00:36:01.840 I don't

00:36:02.420 feel shame,

00:36:04.060 but the

00:36:04.980 memories,

00:36:07.220 where you

00:36:08.340 were,

00:36:09.580 the

00:36:09.840 visualizations,

00:36:11.120 the auditory

00:36:11.940 hearings,

00:36:13.560 were coming

00:36:14.740 back.

00:36:15.660 Because I'm

00:36:16.460 post-traumatized.

00:36:18.760 I'm a

00:36:19.520 wounded healer,

00:36:20.480 and I

00:36:21.400 am grateful

00:36:21.920 for that

00:36:22.440 because Jesus

00:36:23.160 came back

00:36:23.960 for the

00:36:24.460 sick,

00:36:25.040 not the

00:36:25.760 well.

00:36:27.300 And when

00:36:27.700 you get

00:36:28.300 praise for

00:36:29.280 tepiak and

00:36:30.080 divine mercy

00:36:30.720 care,

00:36:31.300 and you've

00:36:31.840 gone to

00:36:32.160 medical

00:36:32.440 schools,

00:36:33.280 and you're

00:36:34.480 part of

00:36:34.940 so many

00:36:35.340 boards,

00:36:36.240 and you

00:36:36.560 know I'm

00:36:38.760 just like

00:36:39.260 everybody

00:36:39.680 else.

00:36:40.280 I'm the

00:36:40.760 poster child

00:36:41.560 for the

00:36:42.000 walking

00:36:42.360 wounded from

00:36:43.440 the sexual

00:36:44.500 revolution of

00:36:45.360 the 60s

00:36:46.000 and 70s.

00:36:46.780 and I

00:36:48.880 just happen

00:36:49.380 to have

00:36:50.000 a profession

00:36:52.640 that is

00:36:53.880 medical.

00:36:55.440 So I

00:36:56.040 have a

00:36:56.300 special

00:36:56.620 outreach to

00:36:57.420 other doctors

00:36:58.160 and young

00:36:59.000 students and

00:37:00.320 nurses and

00:37:00.940 nurse practitioners

00:37:01.720 and anybody

00:37:02.300 in healthcare

00:37:02.860 who wants

00:37:05.300 to know

00:37:05.760 about a

00:37:06.480 better way

00:37:07.140 or they

00:37:08.840 think

00:37:09.160 something's

00:37:09.680 wrong with

00:37:10.200 what they're

00:37:10.560 doing.

00:37:11.000 I want

00:37:11.740 them to

00:37:12.020 contact us

00:37:12.940 whether it's

00:37:14.420 at tepiak

00:37:15.240 obgyn.com

00:37:18.420 mercy care

00:37:19.200 all one

00:37:19.680 word dot

00:37:20.560 org.

00:37:21.440 No,

00:37:22.040 this is a

00:37:22.540 time of

00:37:24.160 post row.

00:37:25.680 We have

00:37:25.940 to be

00:37:26.240 witnessing

00:37:26.660 more,

00:37:28.100 deeper.

00:37:29.680 We need

00:37:30.340 to be not

00:37:30.800 afraid of

00:37:31.580 the questions,

00:37:33.800 but we also

00:37:35.320 need to be

00:37:35.760 living it

00:37:36.280 because when

00:37:36.740 words and

00:37:37.280 logic fall

00:37:38.040 by the

00:37:38.400 wayside,

00:37:38.940 John Henry,

00:37:39.420 just like

00:37:41.100 you in

00:37:41.420 this

00:37:41.620 program,

00:37:42.480 you have

00:37:43.180 to witness

00:37:43.940 truth.

00:37:45.600 You have

00:37:45.840 to witness

00:37:46.320 love and

00:37:47.640 mercy and

00:37:49.440 firm,

00:37:50.380 you know,

00:37:52.140 firm love.

00:37:54.180 And you do

00:37:55.100 it in ways

00:37:55.780 that is

00:37:56.580 conversational,

00:37:59.140 not

00:38:00.140 condemning.

00:38:03.000 Your

00:38:03.740 experience on

00:38:05.160 the other

00:38:05.440 side must

00:38:07.820 have also

00:38:08.560 enabled you

00:38:10.040 to speak

00:38:11.120 to women

00:38:11.860 in a

00:38:13.200 convincing

00:38:13.640 fashion

00:38:14.240 about what

00:38:16.400 they would

00:38:17.300 experience

00:38:17.840 going the

00:38:18.660 other way.

00:38:20.020 Tell us

00:38:20.660 about one

00:38:20.960 of those

00:38:21.240 if you're

00:38:22.120 able to.

00:38:24.460 Sure.

00:38:27.060 It's very

00:38:27.940 common

00:38:28.500 that the

00:38:30.180 data,

00:38:30.760 so right

00:38:31.820 around the

00:38:32.260 time of

00:38:32.700 my change

00:38:33.320 of heart,

00:38:34.240 my

00:38:34.520 transformation

00:38:35.260 in Christ

00:38:36.220 as some

00:38:37.660 famous

00:38:38.080 theologians

00:38:38.860 would have

00:38:39.240 called it,

00:38:40.460 you do the

00:38:41.300 little things

00:38:41.900 well with

00:38:42.620 love.

00:38:43.920 And so one

00:38:44.300 of the ways

00:38:44.880 is that we

00:38:45.440 open our

00:38:45.840 doors to

00:38:46.280 pregnancy

00:38:46.620 centers and

00:38:47.840 they send

00:38:48.340 in their

00:38:48.640 abortion

00:38:49.160 vulnerable

00:38:49.760 patients,

00:38:50.600 clients.

00:38:51.080 Well, we

00:38:52.620 are a

00:38:52.880 medical

00:38:53.080 practice.

00:38:53.820 We're

00:38:53.840 not, you

00:38:54.700 know, we

00:38:54.960 believe in

00:38:55.780 cooperative,

00:38:57.340 collaborative,

00:38:58.440 complete women's

00:38:59.540 health care,

00:39:00.380 much more than

00:39:01.360 just anti-abortion.

00:39:04.100 And yet when

00:39:04.600 that woman 1.00

00:39:05.020 comes there,

00:39:06.180 I can speak

00:39:06.880 from experience

00:39:07.680 because at my

00:39:08.540 change of

00:39:09.200 heart, not

00:39:10.520 only did I

00:39:10.900 have this

00:39:11.260 religious or

00:39:12.440 spiritual

00:39:13.520 awakening,

00:39:14.920 but I

00:39:15.840 also, it

00:39:16.600 came alongside

00:39:17.320 of an

00:39:18.180 adult,

00:39:19.040 academic,

00:39:20.640 educated,

00:39:21.640 brilliant

00:39:22.120 physician

00:39:22.920 witnessing to

00:39:24.260 me, but I

00:39:25.620 was already

00:39:26.040 beginning to

00:39:26.720 read abortion

00:39:28.120 and breast 0.91

00:39:28.600 cancer, abortion

00:39:29.800 and preterm

00:39:30.620 birth, abortion

00:39:32.060 and mental

00:39:33.460 illness.

00:39:36.520 And so

00:39:37.100 when I talk

00:39:38.440 about, listen,

00:39:40.040 you can go

00:39:41.260 ahead with

00:39:42.300 the abortion.

00:39:43.480 We will

00:39:43.760 always welcome

00:39:44.780 you back

00:39:45.360 here, but

00:39:47.240 I promise

00:39:47.780 you it will

00:39:48.500 change

00:39:48.980 you for

00:39:49.340 the rest

00:39:49.740 of your

00:39:50.080 life.

00:39:53.120 It happens

00:39:54.020 differently to

00:39:54.660 different people,

00:39:55.620 but the data

00:39:56.700 is clear on

00:39:57.860 those three

00:39:59.200 areas.

00:40:01.160 Long-term

00:40:01.980 problems, because

00:40:03.200 in the short

00:40:03.680 term, you're

00:40:04.180 going to say,

00:40:04.960 I had to do

00:40:05.760 it, I had

00:40:06.680 no choice, which

00:40:08.120 is bizarre that

00:40:08.980 it's a pro-choice

00:40:10.440 ideology, but at

00:40:11.520 this point, women

00:40:12.920 are being used 0.98

00:40:14.280 and abused

00:40:15.960 and trafficked

00:40:17.500 and all the

00:40:18.960 other words we

00:40:19.780 use.

00:40:20.920 There's even

00:40:21.380 now some

00:40:21.820 feminists coming

00:40:22.960 out against

00:40:23.540 the pill

00:40:24.080 because of

00:40:25.740 the dumping

00:40:26.520 of toxic

00:40:27.180 chemicals into

00:40:28.220 their body

00:40:28.880 that they then 0.95

00:40:29.740 urinate out

00:40:30.520 into the

00:40:31.040 environment, which

00:40:32.100 then pollutes

00:40:32.640 our water

00:40:33.100 systems.

00:40:33.860 That's coming

00:40:34.520 to me.

00:40:35.260 I suffered

00:40:35.800 testicular cancer

00:40:36.880 in the Hudson

00:40:37.900 River Valley of

00:40:38.800 North Jersey,

00:40:40.240 probably from my

00:40:41.160 childhood.

00:40:41.620 some doctors

00:40:43.600 were talking

00:40:44.200 about the

00:40:45.360 type of cancer

00:40:46.160 I had could

00:40:46.920 have come

00:40:47.360 from high

00:40:49.060 parts per

00:40:49.840 billion of

00:40:51.200 the synthetic

00:40:52.940 estrogens.

00:40:54.580 However, we

00:40:55.800 would say to

00:40:56.340 them, this is

00:40:58.180 what happens

00:40:58.700 and this is

00:40:59.160 what's happened

00:40:59.680 to me.

00:41:02.240 Now, you

00:41:03.300 may not believe

00:41:03.920 it because in

00:41:04.380 the short term

00:41:05.000 you're going to

00:41:05.400 say, I have

00:41:06.040 to do it.

00:41:07.360 I was forced.

00:41:08.780 I didn't have a

00:41:09.460 choice.

00:41:09.840 I get it.

00:41:10.940 That's what I

00:41:11.520 thought.

00:41:12.860 But I can help

00:41:13.960 you through the

00:41:14.720 pregnancy center

00:41:15.480 group.

00:41:16.260 I can find

00:41:17.040 you an angel,

00:41:18.800 a mentor,

00:41:19.460 someone who

00:41:19.860 will walk

00:41:20.320 with you

00:41:20.780 alongside us

00:41:21.860 through this

00:41:22.740 pregnancy.

00:41:24.620 And you can

00:41:25.540 become the

00:41:26.160 woman you've

00:41:26.700 always thought

00:41:27.460 about by

00:41:28.660 delivering this

00:41:30.540 baby.

00:41:32.420 But if you

00:41:33.220 can't do it,

00:41:34.100 these are what

00:41:34.900 you can expect.

00:41:36.660 And we are

00:41:37.540 here for you.

00:41:38.380 No judgment.

00:41:39.840 And that's

00:41:41.020 the key.

00:41:42.040 We welcome

00:41:42.540 them back

00:41:43.280 to our

00:41:43.740 office.

00:41:45.900 And we keep

00:41:47.080 accompanying them

00:41:48.440 through this

00:41:49.140 walk.

00:41:50.360 And yes,

00:41:50.920 there are

00:41:51.320 people in

00:41:53.240 our office.

00:41:55.020 A young

00:41:55.800 dancer from

00:41:56.680 one of the

00:41:57.060 local towns

00:41:57.720 here in

00:41:58.020 Northern

00:41:58.240 Virginia,

00:41:58.880 I believe

00:41:59.200 Manassas or

00:42:00.040 thereabouts.

00:42:01.000 She was a

00:42:01.540 stripper. 1.00

00:42:02.300 She was a

00:42:02.820 pole dancer.

00:42:04.580 One of her

00:42:05.340 Johns knocked

00:42:06.120 her up, but 0.97

00:42:07.200 he fell in love

00:42:07.880 with her.

00:42:08.240 She didn't

00:42:09.080 want to

00:42:09.300 marry him.

00:42:10.100 She wanted

00:42:10.560 an abortion.

00:42:11.860 Somehow, God's

00:42:13.360 grace touched

00:42:14.220 her.

00:42:15.200 She kept

00:42:15.620 the baby.

00:42:17.460 She goes

00:42:18.000 through this

00:42:18.440 process with

00:42:19.300 this John.

00:42:21.740 Three or four

00:42:22.380 years, maybe

00:42:23.080 five years

00:42:23.720 later, I see

00:42:24.800 the same

00:42:25.560 interesting neck

00:42:27.300 tattoo walking

00:42:28.600 down the

00:42:29.160 hall.

00:42:29.900 But now she

00:42:30.700 has two

00:42:31.880 children in

00:42:32.740 her hands.

00:42:33.660 and she

00:42:35.320 just came

00:42:35.800 back for

00:42:36.300 her third

00:42:36.760 pregnancy.

00:42:38.180 I run

00:42:38.880 down the

00:42:39.260 hall.

00:42:39.640 I go, Jane.

00:42:40.540 She turns.

00:42:42.480 I said, oh,

00:42:42.940 my God, it's

00:42:43.480 good to see

00:42:44.040 you.

00:42:44.820 My God, look

00:42:45.480 at you.

00:42:47.520 The nose

00:42:48.320 rings and

00:42:49.020 some of the

00:42:50.280 accoutrements

00:42:51.120 were gone.

00:42:53.240 She says,

00:42:53.720 guess what?

00:42:55.200 I married

00:42:56.160 him.

00:42:57.560 We're going

00:42:58.380 to church.

00:42:59.160 We are

00:43:01.040 family.

00:43:04.540 Now, this

00:43:05.260 doesn't happen

00:43:05.740 all the time,

00:43:06.720 but I can

00:43:07.540 tell you,

00:43:09.520 Jesus Christ

00:43:10.560 can do

00:43:11.300 anything,

00:43:12.780 which includes

00:43:13.720 moving mountains.

00:43:16.260 And we can

00:43:17.220 do things far

00:43:18.180 greater than

00:43:18.720 Christ in

00:43:19.440 miracles if

00:43:21.760 we give him

00:43:22.400 everything,

00:43:23.640 our money,

00:43:25.380 our profession,

00:43:27.860 our pride,

00:43:29.160 our lust,

00:43:30.720 our gluttony.

00:43:32.200 The seven

00:43:33.080 capitals become

00:43:33.960 seven virtues.

00:43:35.340 And he can

00:43:36.260 work that in

00:43:36.980 us through

00:43:37.620 his grace

00:43:38.320 and our

00:43:39.580 little bit

00:43:40.300 of seeking

00:43:41.120 him.

00:43:43.660 And, you

00:43:45.000 know, I'm

00:43:45.320 just grateful

00:43:45.780 to be with

00:43:46.360 you today

00:43:47.420 because this

00:43:48.720 is what you

00:43:49.560 do over

00:43:50.440 and over

00:43:51.060 and over.

00:43:52.060 And I

00:43:52.360 think you

00:43:52.720 and I

00:43:53.020 share some

00:43:54.520 common,

00:43:56.100 especially a

00:43:56.920 great and

00:43:57.380 holy dad.

00:43:59.160 as well

00:44:00.180 as my

00:44:00.520 mom.

00:44:02.440 What an

00:44:03.120 incredible

00:44:03.840 witness of

00:44:05.100 love.

00:44:07.020 One of the

00:44:07.740 last things I

00:44:08.200 want to talk

00:44:08.580 to you about,

00:44:09.440 Dr.

00:44:10.380 Burkalski,

00:44:11.000 was the

00:44:12.000 medical

00:44:12.220 profession.

00:44:14.000 So many

00:44:14.880 young men

00:44:15.440 and women

00:44:15.800 want

00:44:17.340 still to be

00:44:19.380 doctors,

00:44:19.900 but they

00:44:21.000 feel in

00:44:22.080 our culture

00:44:22.540 today,

00:44:23.100 it's

00:44:23.920 impossible.

00:44:24.820 How do you

00:44:25.220 even get

00:44:25.480 through without

00:44:26.400 being given

00:44:27.680 to abortion,

00:44:28.320 committing it

00:44:28.760 or at

00:44:29.400 least

00:44:29.600 referencing

00:44:30.360 for it

00:44:30.800 or referring

00:44:31.560 for it?

00:44:33.260 What's the

00:44:33.940 hope for

00:44:35.040 Catholics or 0.98

00:44:36.180 pro-life

00:44:36.800 young people

00:44:37.740 who want

00:44:38.260 to enter

00:44:38.740 or feel

00:44:39.080 called to

00:44:39.520 enter the

00:44:39.800 medical

00:44:40.020 profession?

00:44:40.380 So the

00:44:42.040 hope is

00:44:42.760 that there

00:44:45.400 are many,

00:44:46.580 many more

00:44:48.400 life-affirming

00:44:50.180 Catholic

00:44:50.800 Christian

00:44:51.780 OBGYNs 1.00

00:44:53.400 across the

00:44:54.180 country

00:44:54.660 doing

00:44:56.080 various

00:44:57.620 research,

00:44:58.740 doing

00:44:59.180 fertility

00:45:00.080 awareness,

00:45:01.760 doing

00:45:02.120 infertility,

00:45:03.460 doing

00:45:03.820 gynecologic 0.97

00:45:04.660 surgery.

00:45:05.360 In our

00:45:06.520 case,

00:45:07.060 it's

00:45:07.440 caring for

00:45:08.520 pregnancy

00:45:09.020 center kids

00:45:10.340 and that

00:45:10.980 environment

00:45:11.700 alongside

00:45:13.120 excellent

00:45:15.000 life-affirming

00:45:16.420 NAPRO

00:45:18.160 technology

00:45:18.940 and the

00:45:19.540 approach to

00:45:20.200 the women's

00:45:20.920 body as a

00:45:21.740 language that

00:45:22.880 we need to

00:45:23.440 educate them

00:45:24.280 on and

00:45:25.160 they need to

00:45:25.660 educate us.

00:45:26.940 And by

00:45:27.120 doing good

00:45:27.600 histories and

00:45:28.200 physicals and

00:45:30.200 lab tests and

00:45:31.300 diagnostic

00:45:32.060 differentials,

00:45:33.520 you can still

00:45:34.420 be an

00:45:34.700 excellent

00:45:35.000 physician.

00:45:36.200 So we

00:45:36.720 now have

00:45:37.260 more above

00:45:39.780 their level.

00:45:41.060 They need

00:45:41.960 accompaniment.

00:45:43.160 They need to

00:45:43.820 know they're

00:45:44.080 not alone.

00:45:45.280 They need to

00:45:45.820 know that

00:45:46.140 there's lawyers

00:45:46.980 who are

00:45:47.820 willing,

00:45:48.540 ready,

00:45:48.820 and able to

00:45:49.400 come alongside

00:45:50.040 them if

00:45:51.180 their rights

00:45:52.800 to religious

00:45:53.820 freedom are

00:45:54.780 being abused

00:45:55.940 or mocked

00:45:58.120 alongside

00:45:59.760 excellent

00:46:00.920 science that

00:46:02.760 supports our

00:46:03.980 side of

00:46:04.440 the

00:46:04.580 arguments.

00:46:05.720 We now

00:46:06.200 have the

00:46:06.540 American

00:46:06.820 Association of

00:46:07.640 Pro-Life

00:46:07.980 OBGYNs. 0.93

00:46:09.380 We have a

00:46:09.900 more robust

00:46:10.580 Catholic Medical

00:46:11.340 Association and

00:46:12.480 Christian Medical

00:46:13.320 and Dental

00:46:13.800 Society.

00:46:15.680 And people

00:46:16.620 are getting

00:46:17.120 sick and

00:46:17.740 tired,

00:46:18.340 slowly but

00:46:18.960 surely,

00:46:20.080 of this

00:46:20.580 sexual

00:46:21.020 revolution

00:46:21.680 because we're

00:46:23.340 now being

00:46:23.820 told to

00:46:25.660 change 11-year-old's

00:46:28.060 gender sex

00:46:29.260 because they

00:46:29.860 want it.

00:46:30.480 and they

00:46:31.640 say that's

00:46:33.040 science?

00:46:36.140 As Jerome

00:46:37.080 Lejeune taught

00:46:37.720 me, in the

00:46:38.780 beginning was the

00:46:39.540 genetic code and

00:46:40.400 the code was

00:46:41.260 in life and

00:46:42.200 the code was

00:46:42.980 life, very

00:46:43.960 similar to the

00:46:44.660 opening of

00:46:45.100 John's gospel.

00:46:47.880 Embryology is

00:46:48.820 scientific.

00:46:50.580 Caring for two 0.80

00:46:51.340 patients, which

00:46:52.220 is what my book

00:46:52.800 is about, is

00:46:53.960 absolutely

00:46:54.900 excellent medicine.

00:46:56.240 And yet they

00:46:57.800 keep trying to

00:46:58.620 confuse and

00:46:59.500 contort and

00:47:00.800 they then

00:47:01.160 transfer us,

00:47:02.420 oh no, you're

00:47:02.900 the one spreading

00:47:03.480 disinformation.

00:47:05.120 For the last

00:47:06.060 50 years, we

00:47:06.940 have lived a

00:47:07.640 lie in

00:47:08.780 medicine.

00:47:10.500 We no longer

00:47:11.500 have to do

00:47:12.160 that.

00:47:12.620 We now have

00:47:13.120 witnesses,

00:47:14.380 mentors, we

00:47:15.700 now have the

00:47:16.280 data, and we

00:47:19.400 encourage these

00:47:20.240 young people.

00:47:20.980 If you've been

00:47:21.440 called into

00:47:21.940 OBGYN, John

00:47:23.160 Henry, that

00:47:24.920 is God

00:47:26.240 speaking, are

00:47:30.340 you going to

00:47:30.640 be disobedient

00:47:31.580 because you're

00:47:32.340 running up into

00:47:33.320 some headwinds

00:47:36.040 through the

00:47:37.140 cancel culture,

00:47:38.500 through the

00:47:38.940 wokeism,

00:47:40.280 through the

00:47:41.620 brutality of

00:47:42.620 abortion? 0.89

00:47:45.080 Oh no, yes,

00:47:46.240 it's good to

00:47:46.680 have chemical

00:47:47.220 abortions. 0.94

00:47:47.760 They can now

00:47:48.100 do it in

00:47:48.480 their home

00:47:48.880 through

00:47:49.120 telemedicine

00:47:49.820 without even

00:47:50.600 seeing a

00:47:51.100 physician.

00:47:51.860 They can

00:47:52.360 witness and

00:47:53.020 watch the

00:47:54.020 hemorrhaging of

00:47:54.820 the blood

00:47:55.280 and the

00:47:55.640 tissue and

00:47:57.080 the products

00:47:57.620 of conception,

00:47:58.500 which are the

00:47:58.840 placenta and

00:47:59.520 the fetus, fall

00:48:01.160 out in their

00:48:01.600 bed or their

00:48:03.020 hallway or their

00:48:04.400 bathroom floor or

00:48:05.520 their toilet.

00:48:07.380 We are going to

00:48:08.420 see a whole host

00:48:09.480 of people coming

00:48:10.180 back for the

00:48:12.020 care that is

00:48:12.660 going to be

00:48:13.040 needed for the

00:48:13.740 whole anthropological,

00:48:16.180 psychological,

00:48:17.880 medical care of

00:48:18.920 what we call the

00:48:20.080 human person,

00:48:20.900 which is what a

00:48:21.500 woman is. 1.00

00:48:22.220 And so, no,

00:48:27.320 contact the

00:48:28.640 folks I

00:48:29.060 mentioned,

00:48:29.540 contact us.

00:48:31.120 There is real

00:48:31.960 hope out here

00:48:32.960 because it's

00:48:34.120 time to lean

00:48:34.880 into this.

00:48:36.380 That's the

00:48:36.860 key.

00:48:38.580 All over the

00:48:39.460 world, wherever

00:48:40.020 the Catholic

00:48:40.660 Church has

00:48:43.160 been persecuted,

00:48:44.500 especially, let's

00:48:45.560 say, take, for

00:48:46.140 example, England

00:48:47.060 after Henry

00:48:48.380 VIII, what

00:48:50.360 did they do?

00:48:50.860 Priests would

00:48:52.000 go to

00:48:52.700 Douay to

00:48:55.200 learn and

00:48:56.320 then go back.

00:48:58.420 Okay, so

00:48:59.300 we're having a

00:48:59.960 tough time in

00:49:00.480 OB-GYN and

00:49:01.240 medicine.

00:49:02.720 As Catholics,

00:49:03.800 we're called to

00:49:04.960 be a part of

00:49:05.760 our culture, to

00:49:07.200 be at the

00:49:07.760 source, to be

00:49:08.540 at that crux.

00:49:11.060 And whenever

00:49:12.040 priests and

00:49:12.880 doctors, souls

00:49:14.440 and bodies, the 0.98

00:49:15.440 doctors of souls

00:49:16.260 and bodies

00:49:16.740 come together,

00:49:18.120 pandemics can

00:49:18.840 be faced.

00:49:19.380 horrors can

00:49:23.180 be overcome,

00:49:24.580 maybe not on

00:49:25.620 our timetable,

00:49:26.980 but absolutely

00:49:28.140 on his.

00:49:29.960 Because in

00:49:30.540 the end, John

00:49:31.260 Henry, no

00:49:32.540 matter what our

00:49:33.220 life turns out

00:49:34.040 to be, big,

00:49:35.040 little, whatever,

00:49:36.160 if we just, with

00:49:37.680 a heart that is

00:49:38.460 full of love for

00:49:40.080 the Lord, to

00:49:41.360 give him the

00:49:41.820 opportunity to

00:49:42.920 obtain glory

00:49:44.040 through his

00:49:45.420 mercy, we can

00:49:48.340 begin to

00:49:48.820 change the

00:49:49.340 culture.

00:49:50.640 That's how

00:49:51.220 it's always

00:49:51.820 been done.

00:49:52.580 Saints in the

00:49:53.340 Catholic tradition

00:49:54.320 have always

00:49:56.500 been a part of

00:49:57.520 the difficult,

00:49:59.120 dark moments

00:49:59.960 in our history,

00:50:00.900 in our world

00:50:01.500 history.

00:50:02.680 And we want to

00:50:03.560 remind each

00:50:04.140 other of that.

00:50:05.100 And so the

00:50:06.600 transformation that

00:50:07.540 occurs happens

00:50:08.720 in the physician

00:50:09.820 first and

00:50:12.600 foremost.

00:50:12.940 Pentecost, we

00:50:14.360 are affected

00:50:15.040 by our

00:50:17.080 community, our

00:50:18.560 friends, our

00:50:19.780 patients, the

00:50:21.800 pain, the

00:50:22.400 joys.

00:50:23.300 It's part of

00:50:23.960 renewing the

00:50:25.260 book of Acts,

00:50:25.920 so to speak,

00:50:26.920 having a second

00:50:27.600 Pentecost or a

00:50:29.300 second Advent.

00:50:31.960 Beautiful.

00:50:33.240 Dr.

00:50:33.820 Burkowski, where

00:50:34.440 can people get

00:50:35.100 your book and

00:50:35.740 how can people

00:50:36.220 stay in touch

00:50:36.680 with you?

00:50:36.960 So they can

00:50:39.380 stay in touch

00:50:39.980 with us by

00:50:40.960 going to

00:50:42.100 tepeakobgyn.com

00:50:44.320 or better

00:50:46.180 would be

00:50:46.880 divinemercycare.org.

00:50:49.800 They can also

00:50:51.060 get the book

00:50:51.820 through

00:50:52.860 twopatients.com

00:50:55.080 or go to

00:50:56.320 Ignatius Press.

00:50:59.060 Ignatius Press

00:51:00.340 published it in

00:51:01.460 November of last

00:51:02.440 year.

00:51:03.740 And it's

00:51:05.880 had some

00:51:06.480 runs, and

00:51:07.160 that's good.

00:51:08.040 And it's

00:51:08.900 just, it's

00:51:10.520 been a real

00:51:10.940 blessing, a

00:51:11.660 real challenge

00:51:12.280 to put it

00:51:13.920 out.

00:51:15.240 But to

00:51:16.000 share this

00:51:16.700 is, I

00:51:17.560 believe,

00:51:18.080 important.

00:51:18.680 Because if

00:51:19.260 the Lord can

00:51:19.780 reach me with

00:51:20.460 his mercy, it's

00:51:22.180 really a sign

00:51:22.920 of hope for

00:51:23.600 moms and

00:51:24.100 dads and

00:51:24.620 other students

00:51:25.380 and residents

00:51:26.200 and other

00:51:26.700 doctors and

00:51:27.520 physicians and

00:51:28.680 healthcare

00:51:29.000 providers that

00:51:31.000 you're never

00:51:31.460 beyond the

00:51:33.000 reach of the

00:51:33.760 mercy of God.

00:51:34.620 and it's

00:51:35.940 good for

00:51:36.480 academics and

00:51:37.500 it's also

00:51:37.960 good for

00:51:38.660 your soul.

00:51:39.700 So thank

00:51:41.000 you so much

00:51:41.700 for having

00:51:42.160 me.

00:51:42.760 God love

00:51:43.280 you.

00:51:43.560 It's been a

00:51:45.580 great joy to

00:51:46.400 hear your

00:51:46.840 journey and

00:51:47.900 thank you for

00:51:49.700 sharing.

00:51:50.400 It's, you're a

00:51:53.080 great witness.

00:51:54.780 Thank you, my

00:51:55.420 friend.

00:51:55.760 God bless you.

00:51:56.960 God bless.

00:51:57.860 And God bless

00:51:58.620 all of you.
