The John-Henry Westen Show - This is THE issue of the 2024 election

00:00:00.000 Every abortion, no matter the gestational age, destroys the innocent life of a baby

00:00:06.520 deserving of love and protection. Let me be clear. Late-term abortion is only possible

00:00:13.480 because early abortions are possible.

00:00:23.960 LifeSite News' main goal in an election year is to provide you with up-to-date and accurate

00:00:29.940 information on presidential candidates, positions on abortion. And we're going to get into all of

00:00:36.240 that. But first, I want to tell you about Dr. Warren Hearn. He's one of the few late-term

00:00:42.860 abortionists in the United States of America. And he's something of a pro-abortion celebrity.

00:00:48.660 He keeps getting wheeled out on the mainstream media whenever the pro-abortion fanatics feel

00:00:54.480 that something might change for them. So here he is in September 2024. Watch.

00:01:01.500 Dr. Warren Hearn and his team in Boulder, Colorado, specialize in second and third

00:01:05.740 trimester abortion. These are all layers of bulletproof glass.

00:01:09.500 Those against the practice say it's simply too late in a pregnancy to terminate.

00:01:13.000 The Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation where you can do an

00:01:19.060 abortion in the ninth month. But these nicely produced videos full of shots of Dr. Hearn looking

00:01:26.360 compassionate and talking about the service he offers women and freedom, they don't really give

00:01:33.040 you the whole picture. This is what Hearn thinks about pregnancy. As he said to the LA Times in August

00:01:40.640 2024. And let me quote it for you. Pregnancy is not a benign condition. It can kill you. He went on to

00:01:49.100 say, and I quote again, the treatment of choice for pregnancy is abortion. Unless the woman wants to

00:01:56.500 carry the pregnancy to term and have a baby. So the treatment of choice for pregnancy is abortion,

00:02:03.220 he said. Unbelievable. The shortage of abortionists willing to carry out late-term abortions is actually

00:02:10.240 what drives him, he says. The LA Times glowingly reports this. Hearn's grisly trade is going to

00:02:18.340 become a lot more common. Unless news outlets like LifeSite News can continue to speak out in the run-up

00:02:25.900 to the election. We are doing everything we can to help keep Christ in the election. So please,

00:02:33.240 if you're a U.S. resident, text LifeSite, L-I-F-E-S-I-T-E, to 50155 and give what you can

00:02:42.440 today. Let's proclaim Christ is King together. We need to meet our fundraising goal by the 3rd of

00:02:50.940 October if we are to carry on before it's too late. The public needs to know positions of all

00:02:56.900 candidates for election to make informed decisions. At the bottom of this screen, you can see instructions

00:03:03.640 on how to donate by text. U.S. residents only can text LifeSite, that's L-I-F-E-S-I-T-E, to 50155

00:03:12.600 and instructions will take it from there. Otherwise, you can go to give.lifesitenews.com.

00:03:19.100 Please donate today for a world where we can speak freely about abortion. And back to Dr. Hearn.

00:03:25.100 While other abortionists shy away from Dr. Hearn's grisly work, the media praises and lionizes him

00:03:33.720 for his willingness to kill babies in the womb at 30-plus weeks gestation. Just last year,

00:03:40.840 The Atlantic published a profile on Hearn describing how tough his work is. And I'll quote for you.

00:03:47.060 Once or twice during a procedure at 15 or 16 weeks, he used forceps to remove a fetus with a still

00:03:54.600 beating heart. The heart thumped only for a few seconds before stopping. But for a long while

00:04:01.780 after a vision of that fetus would wake Hearn from sleep, he could see in his mind the inches-long body

00:04:09.460 and its heart beating, beating, beating. End quote. Let me tell you, I haven't seen Hearn talk about that

00:04:16.940 in his mainstream media clips. But something happens to the man who preserves in evil.

00:04:24.040 As St. Augustine said, one of the most terrible punishments for sin is being allowed to persevere

00:04:30.220 in more sin. And for Hearn, we're told, eventually he got used to what he was doing. His dreams stopped

00:04:37.740 and he slept easy. He embraced his craft, says the article. In effect, Hearn performed an abortion

00:04:45.340 on his conscience. Perhaps the $6,000 charged per late-term abortion is a powerful incentive.

00:04:54.840 And in 2023, The Atlantic reported that Hearn's business is booming, with an increase of 50%

00:05:02.980 in all his clientele. Even back in 2022, he said, well, you listen for yourself.

00:05:09.860 The number of patients we've seen has basically doubled since a year ago. We can't possibly see

00:05:15.680 all the women who want to come here for help. And I need to expand my service.

00:05:20.200 When one journalist asked Hearn if he found joy in his work, Hearn answered, I love it.

00:05:26.840 Some of those looking to gain political power in the USA seem to love it too.

00:05:31.880 Throughout his presidency, President Biden has called for Congress to codify a federal so-called

00:05:38.980 right to abortion, and specifically endorsed the Women's Health Protection Act, which would

00:05:44.700 dramatically restrict states' ability to pass all manner of anti-abortion laws.

00:05:50.620 And take a look at Kamala Harris in the background there when he says it.

00:05:55.040 Congress must restore the right that was taken away in Roe v. Wade, and protect Roe v. Wade.

00:06:07.680 Give every woman a consul right.

00:06:10.520 The Vice President and I are doing everything to protect access to reproductive health care

00:06:16.900 That same Kamala Harris, looking so enthusiastic there at the prospect of the slaughter of unborn

00:06:27.000 children in the womb, has declared that she will take up this fight if she is elected president

00:06:32.920 in November. Listen for yourself.

00:06:34.860 We, who will fight for reproductive freedom, knowing if Trump gets the chance, he will sign

00:06:43.460 a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single state, but we are not going to let that happen.

00:06:55.960 Some of the stooges of the evil abortion empire have said that they just want to return

00:07:01.380 to the status quo of Roe v. Wade.

00:07:04.940 But in fact, Harris and others repeatedly refused to name

00:07:08.120 a single time limit

00:07:10.280 on abortion, which they would accept.

00:07:12.700 She refuses to answer that question

00:07:14.700 time and time again.

00:07:16.720 Take a look at just one example.

00:07:18.880 What is it that you believe?

00:07:20.460 I mean, what week of pregnancy should abortion

00:07:22.540 access be cut off?

00:07:25.300 We need to restore

00:07:26.260 the protections of Roe v. Wade.

00:07:28.820 Well, that was nebulous because it was

00:07:30.780 about viability, which could be anywhere between 20 to 24 weeks.

00:07:34.700 No, no, no, no, no.

00:07:36.040 Let's let's let me let me be very clear.

00:07:37.780 The Women's Health Protection Act that the White House also

00:07:40.060 Let me be very clear. Congress has the power

00:07:42.400 and ability to pass legislation

00:07:44.380 to put those protections back in law

00:07:46.820 and Joe Biden will sign that bill.

00:07:49.060 So that is what we want.

00:07:50.580 But does it need to be specific

00:07:52.640 in terms of defining

00:07:54.580 where that guarantee goes up to

00:07:57.900 and where it does not

00:07:59.180 at which week of pregnancy?

00:08:01.340 We need to put back in place

00:08:02.800 the protections of Roe v. Wade.

00:08:04.560 Republicans say

00:08:05.620 the lack of a precise date

00:08:08.000 in cutting it off.

00:08:09.460 You know this.

00:08:10.760 They say that allows Democrats

00:08:12.320 to perform abortions

00:08:13.780 up until, you know, birth.

00:08:15.600 Which is ridiculous.

00:08:16.820 Which is statistically not accurate.

00:08:18.440 And it's ridiculous.

00:08:19.300 And it's a mischaracterization

00:08:21.220 of the point.

00:08:22.560 No, the point is

00:08:23.580 the point is we have to.

00:08:25.020 Let's be clear

00:08:27.400 what no limits means.

00:08:29.760 It means abortion up to birth

00:08:31.580 and logically will extend

00:08:33.520 legitimizing infanticide in due course.

00:08:37.160 My LifeSite News colleague

00:08:38.580 Jonathan Ben-Maron

00:08:39.440 described what this looks like.

00:08:41.920 And I'll quote it for you

00:08:43.040 from his article.

00:08:43.680 The difficult, sweaty work

00:08:46.100 of dismembering nearly full-term babies

00:08:48.180 and then placing their corpses

00:08:49.840 back together like bloody jigsaw puzzles

00:08:52.000 to make sure no limbs

00:08:53.880 are left behind.

00:08:55.020 End quote.

00:08:55.820 In a 1990 book

00:08:57.500 on his grisly trade

00:08:59.220 Warren Hearn described

00:09:01.280 the hard work involved

00:09:03.320 in killing babies

00:09:04.260 at 30 weeks gestation.

00:09:05.720 I'll quote it for you.

00:09:06.880 The sensations of dismemberment

00:09:08.860 flow through the forceps

00:09:10.820 like an electric current.

00:09:13.180 End quote.

00:09:13.660 Again, none of those

00:09:15.940 sympathetic news reports

00:09:17.980 include that kind of detail.

00:09:20.500 That's because it's sick

00:09:22.320 but it's what the abortion empire

00:09:24.240 wants for America.

00:09:26.300 Unless things change

00:09:27.460 it looks like they're going to get it

00:09:29.340 and more besides.

00:09:32.020 Infanticide is on the rise.

00:09:34.560 In 2023,

00:09:35.820 vice presidential nominee

00:09:36.800 Tim Walz supported

00:09:38.980 radical pro-abortion legislation

00:09:41.020 in Minnesota.

00:09:42.040 But first,

00:09:42.920 here he is

00:09:43.940 speaking since he was nominated.

00:09:46.520 Hey everybody,

00:09:47.340 Tim Walz here.

00:09:48.360 J.D. Vance and Donald Trump

00:09:49.600 are going to ban

00:09:50.400 medication abortion

00:09:51.220 making sure they make decisions

00:09:52.760 in getting between you

00:09:53.800 and your doctor.

00:09:55.600 Vice President Harris and I

00:09:56.780 will make sure that you make

00:09:58.060 your health care decisions

00:09:59.040 because we have a rule.

00:10:00.260 Whether you'd make the same

00:10:01.080 decision as someone else,

00:10:02.120 just mind your own damn business.

00:10:03.300 State law had enshrined

00:10:05.280 a duty to provide medical care

00:10:07.880 to abortion survivors

00:10:09.180 but Walz and his crew

00:10:11.360 insisted that medical care

00:10:13.240 be changed to just care

00:10:15.320 and they removed reference

00:10:17.120 to a duty to preserve

00:10:18.680 the life and health

00:10:20.080 of the born-alive infant

00:10:21.220 and replaced it with a duty

00:10:22.360 to care for the infant

00:10:24.120 who is born alive.

00:10:25.760 In other words,

00:10:27.140 no duty to preserve life and health.

00:10:30.220 Keep the infant warm,

00:10:31.720 care for him

00:10:32.340 while you let him die.

00:10:34.900 LifeSite News is clear on this.

00:10:36.700 Abandoning such infants,

00:10:38.060 withholding medical care

00:10:39.300 and leaving them to die

00:10:40.420 is infanticide

00:10:41.360 no less than killing them directly.

00:10:43.720 Infanticide has long been common

00:10:45.820 in several non-Christian nations

00:10:47.640 and cultures

00:10:48.300 where every human life

00:10:49.840 is not considered to be sacred

00:10:52.260 and a girl or imperfect child

00:10:55.700 are disposable.

00:10:57.360 We are rapidly becoming

00:10:59.280 more like these pagan

00:11:01.120 non-Christian countries

00:11:02.360 that Christian faith

00:11:03.560 and practice plummet

00:11:05.100 and globalist immigration

00:11:07.120 from such cultures

00:11:08.300 has increased.

00:11:09.720 But as appalling

00:11:10.860 as all this is,

00:11:12.940 it shouldn't distract us

00:11:14.420 from the fact

00:11:14.980 that every abortion,

00:11:16.400 no matter the gestational age,

00:11:18.820 destroys the innocent life

00:11:21.080 of a baby

00:11:21.680 deserving of love

00:11:23.060 and protection.

00:11:24.580 Let me be clear.

00:11:25.820 Late-term abortion

00:11:27.800 is only possible

00:11:29.220 because early abortions

00:11:31.460 are possible.

00:11:33.460 While there are early abortions,

00:11:35.940 there will always be

00:11:37.480 late-term abortions.

00:11:39.360 They stand and fall together.

00:11:42.100 This is to say

00:11:42.920 nothing of the absolutely appalling

00:11:45.500 transgender policies

00:11:46.760 of these people.

00:11:47.840 For example,

00:11:48.480 did you know

00:11:49.480 that Kamala Harris

00:11:50.560 helped to get

00:11:51.700 a transgender male convict

00:11:54.100 moved to a women's prison

00:11:56.560 along with state-funded

00:11:58.320 sex change surgeries?

00:12:00.500 Take a listen.

00:12:01.880 And listen out

00:12:03.220 for how she claims

00:12:04.880 to be a pioneer here.

00:12:06.700 When I was attorney general,

00:12:08.060 I learned that

00:12:09.580 the California Department

00:12:10.820 of Corrections,

00:12:11.620 which was a client of mine,

00:12:13.820 I didn't get to choose

00:12:14.620 my clients.

00:12:15.460 A client of the attorney general.

00:12:17.160 A client of the attorney general,

00:12:18.340 of the office

00:12:18.860 of attorney general,

00:12:19.980 that they were standing

00:12:21.100 in the way

00:12:21.700 of surgery.

00:12:25.200 For prisoners.

00:12:26.000 For prisoners.

00:12:26.800 And there was

00:12:27.260 a specific case.

00:12:28.660 And when I learned

00:12:29.400 about the case,

00:12:30.460 I worked behind the scenes

00:12:31.880 to not only make sure

00:12:32.880 that that transgender woman

00:12:34.440 got the services

00:12:35.940 she was deserving.

00:12:37.860 So it wasn't only

00:12:38.800 about that case.

00:12:39.640 I made sure

00:12:40.340 that they changed

00:12:41.140 the policy

00:12:41.940 in the state of California

00:12:43.600 so that every transgender

00:12:45.880 inmate

00:12:47.720 in the prison system

00:12:48.700 would have access

00:12:49.760 to the medical care

00:12:51.220 that they desired

00:12:52.820 and need.

00:12:53.840 And I believe

00:12:54.460 it was not only,

00:12:55.520 I know it was historic

00:12:56.340 in California,

00:12:56.980 but I believe actually

00:12:57.840 it may have been

00:12:58.260 one of the first,

00:12:59.540 if not the first,

00:13:00.360 in the country

00:13:01.020 where I pushed

00:13:02.080 for that policy

00:13:03.000 in a department

00:13:04.740 of corrections.

00:13:05.780 Time Magazine,

00:13:06.600 by the way,

00:13:07.320 said that this

00:13:08.260 was a false statement

00:13:09.680 on the part of Trump

00:13:10.760 during the election,

00:13:11.860 but you just heard it

00:13:13.880 from her own mouth.

00:13:16.300 And did you know

00:13:17.400 that in Tim Walz's

00:13:19.080 Minnesota,

00:13:19.920 multiple child

00:13:21.080 sexual abusers

00:13:22.140 have been transferred

00:13:23.440 to female prisons

00:13:24.720 after claiming

00:13:25.640 that they identify

00:13:26.920 as women.

00:13:29.040 Time and time again,

00:13:30.680 it is those

00:13:31.440 who have already

00:13:32.280 suffered much

00:13:33.200 in life

00:13:33.760 who are sacrificed

00:13:34.860 on the altar

00:13:35.760 of transgenderism

00:13:37.040 by an elite,

00:13:38.220 wholly given over

00:13:39.360 to the service

00:13:40.220 of Satan.

00:13:42.000 One young victim,

00:13:44.460 Yalie Martinez,

00:13:45.500 like many teenagers,

00:13:46.860 she had a difficult

00:13:48.540 time during adolescence.

00:13:50.680 At high school,

00:13:51.500 she suffered

00:13:52.000 from depression.

00:13:53.820 Under the influence

00:13:54.580 of a school counselor

00:13:55.780 and the school LGBT club,

00:13:59.140 she began socially

00:14:00.420 transitioning to live

00:14:02.080 as if she was a boy

00:14:03.580 without her mother's

00:14:05.260 knowledge.

00:14:05.780 When her mother

00:14:06.280 found out

00:14:06.920 and began to voice

00:14:07.960 concerns,

00:14:08.780 she, the mother,

00:14:09.800 was stripped of custody

00:14:11.120 of her daughter

00:14:11.900 by the Los Angeles

00:14:13.100 County Department

00:14:13.860 Department of Children

00:14:15.060 and Family Services.

00:14:16.360 This led Yalie

00:14:17.840 to leave home

00:14:19.260 aged just 16.

00:14:22.080 For three years,

00:14:23.340 she tried to live

00:14:24.280 as a man,

00:14:25.020 but her depression

00:14:26.380 continued to get worse.

00:14:27.860 She committed suicide

00:14:28.960 when she was 19 years old.

00:14:31.940 And there are many more

00:14:33.460 stories like this,

00:14:34.720 and they all need

00:14:35.780 to be told

00:14:36.360 to stop other young people

00:14:38.120 from going down this path

00:14:39.500 and to wake parents up

00:14:41.380 to the dangers

00:14:42.400 that their children face.

00:14:45.660 This October 17th and 18th,

00:14:48.400 we are going to be running

00:14:49.900 Rome Life Forum

00:14:50.980 in Exile.

00:14:52.200 We're doing that

00:14:53.020 in Kansas City, Missouri.

00:14:54.760 This fine bishop,

00:14:55.780 Bishop Joseph Strickland,

00:14:56.900 sort of in exile,

00:14:57.900 is going to be joining us there

00:14:59.000 as well as

00:14:59.820 Dr. Janet Smith,

00:15:01.300 as well as

00:15:02.160 prophecy expert

00:15:03.340 Xavier Aral,

00:15:05.260 and many more,

00:15:06.220 including

00:15:06.740 a special guest.

00:15:08.760 Hope to see you there.

00:15:09.800 Hope to see you there.

00:15:10.780 God bless you.

00:15:15.620 It seems that the medical profession

00:15:17.760 has been infiltrated

00:15:19.140 by the disciples

00:15:20.060 of Dr. Frankenstein,

00:15:23.240 who are willing to do

00:15:24.220 anything at all

00:15:25.280 in the interest

00:15:26.160 of so-called science.

00:15:28.280 But here's the tragedy.

00:15:30.080 Some of the most prominent

00:15:31.840 pro-life statesmen

00:15:33.040 have shifted their positions.

00:15:35.560 Pro-life, it seems,

00:15:36.720 is out,

00:15:37.460 and some concern

00:15:39.000 about late-term abortions

00:15:40.360 is in.

00:15:42.040 LifeSite is not

00:15:43.400 a partisan organization.

00:15:45.120 We do not support

00:15:45.860 any particular candidate.

00:15:47.720 Our position

00:15:48.480 on supporting

00:15:49.280 the right to life

00:15:50.280 from conception

00:15:51.100 to natural death

00:15:52.200 is not partisan.

00:15:53.980 The right to life

00:15:54.920 is a fundamental

00:15:56.000 human right

00:15:56.700 rooted in the natural law.

00:15:58.160 The humanity

00:15:59.240 of the child

00:16:00.180 in the womb

00:16:00.600 is confirmed

00:16:01.200 by medical science

00:16:02.260 and, yes,

00:16:03.120 it is informed

00:16:04.080 by our faith.

00:16:06.260 Donald Trump

00:16:06.960 has been slamming

00:16:08.100 Democrats

00:16:08.600 for promoting

00:16:09.640 and defending

00:16:10.800 late-term abortions.

00:16:12.540 However,

00:16:13.660 he has also

00:16:14.840 been slamming

00:16:15.540 state laws

00:16:16.140 restricting abortion

00:16:17.180 to six weeks,

00:16:18.040 complaining that

00:16:18.840 Florida's six-week

00:16:19.980 abortion ban

00:16:20.740 is too short.

00:16:22.680 Listen to him

00:16:23.500 for yourself.

00:16:24.060 The state

00:16:24.800 that you are

00:16:25.460 a resident of,

00:16:26.960 there's an abortion

00:16:28.680 related amendment

00:16:29.480 on the ballot

00:16:30.180 to overturn

00:16:30.740 the six-week ban

00:16:31.740 in Florida.

00:16:32.380 How are you

00:16:32.660 going to vote on that?

00:16:33.580 Well, I think

00:16:33.900 the six-week

00:16:34.420 is too short.

00:16:35.700 It has to be more time

00:16:36.980 and so that's,

00:16:38.380 and I've told them

00:16:38.960 that I want more weeks.

00:16:40.260 So you'll vote

00:16:40.720 in favor of the amendment?

00:16:41.780 I'm voting that,

00:16:42.920 I am going to be voting

00:16:43.780 that we need more

00:16:44.700 than six weeks.

00:16:45.580 And he said

00:16:46.440 that your taxpayer

00:16:47.780 and insurance dollars

00:16:49.160 will go toward

00:16:50.160 funding the unnatural

00:16:51.820 and destructive process

00:16:53.460 of in vitro fertilization.

00:16:55.460 I'm announcing today

00:16:56.640 in a major statement

00:16:57.880 that under the Trump

00:16:59.360 administration,

00:17:00.340 your government

00:17:00.900 will pay for,

00:17:02.680 or your insurance company

00:17:04.340 will be mandated

00:17:05.880 to pay for,

00:17:07.400 all costs

00:17:08.760 associated with

00:17:10.560 IVF treatment,

00:17:12.500 fertilization for women,

00:17:14.600 IVF treatment.

00:17:17.580 Because we want more babies

00:17:19.700 to put it very nicely.

00:17:21.300 And for this same reason,

00:17:23.880 we will also allow

00:17:25.180 new parents

00:17:26.100 to deduct major

00:17:27.720 newborn expenses

00:17:28.740 from their taxes

00:17:29.700 so that parents

00:17:30.880 that have a beautiful

00:17:32.840 baby will be able.

00:17:35.980 So we're pro-family.

00:17:37.740 Nobody's ever said

00:17:38.640 that before.

00:17:39.920 But the IVF treatments

00:17:41.400 are expensive.

00:17:42.280 It's very hard

00:17:42.840 for many people

00:17:44.180 to do it

00:17:44.820 and to get it.

00:17:46.460 But I've been

00:17:47.260 in favor of IVF

00:17:49.120 right from the beginning.

00:17:50.340 It's great to say

00:17:51.480 that you're pro-family,

00:17:52.620 but IVF leads

00:17:54.340 to an unacceptable

00:17:55.700 increase in

00:17:57.040 surrogacy,

00:17:58.360 made-to-order children,

00:18:00.120 destruction of

00:18:01.060 frozen so-called

00:18:02.220 excess embryos,

00:18:03.960 killing of imperfect

00:18:05.120 babies,

00:18:06.240 sex selection,

00:18:07.660 wombless gestation

00:18:08.800 and births,

00:18:09.720 same-sex parents,

00:18:11.480 embryonic experimentation,

00:18:13.500 organ harvesting

00:18:14.260 from live fetuses,

00:18:15.720 and even newborns.

00:18:17.040 And in addition to that,

00:18:19.760 other inevitable

00:18:20.740 atrocities.

00:18:22.560 Nature cannot be violated

00:18:24.520 without natural,

00:18:26.300 dire consequences.

00:18:27.880 The Democrats

00:18:28.400 are sounding the alarms

00:18:29.900 claiming that Donald Trump

00:18:31.040 is against all abortions.

00:18:33.060 Check out what they're claiming

00:18:34.180 that Donald Trump's

00:18:35.280 going to do.

00:18:35.720 This is Project 2025.

00:18:39.940 Looks harmless, right?

00:18:41.300 But the reality is this.

00:18:42.940 Project 2025

00:18:43.760 would allow Trump

00:18:44.760 to gut and replace

00:18:45.840 our civil servants

00:18:46.800 with MAGA loyalists

00:18:48.300 and hand him

00:18:49.360 unprecedented power.

00:18:51.280 Then his plan is to

00:18:52.400 ban abortion nationwide,

00:18:54.320 restrict access

00:18:55.020 to contraception,

00:18:55.680 rip away affordable health care,

00:18:57.000 eliminate the Department

00:18:57.780 of Education,

00:18:58.480 cancel student debt,

00:18:59.320 and stop paying

00:18:59.920 for those overtime.

00:19:00.860 Rip away a revenge

00:19:01.780 on his political needs.

00:19:02.640 Now, Trump's

00:19:06.080 vice presidential candidate,

00:19:07.820 J.D. Vance,

00:19:08.480 was speaking

00:19:09.180 as if Trump

00:19:10.060 would block

00:19:10.900 any kind of

00:19:12.060 nationwide abortion ban.

00:19:13.560 But very interestingly,

00:19:14.920 in the last presidential debate,

00:19:17.020 Trump refused to say

00:19:18.300 that he would block

00:19:19.280 such a ban,

00:19:20.140 saying that he

00:19:20.800 never said such a thing.

00:19:22.500 Listen for yourself.

00:19:23.640 I'm not signing a ban,

00:19:25.040 and there's no reason

00:19:25.780 to sign a ban,

00:19:26.640 because we've gotten

00:19:27.840 what everybody wanted.

00:19:29.660 Democrats,

00:19:30.680 Republicans,

00:19:31.440 and everybody else

00:19:32.560 and every legal scholar

00:19:34.480 wanted it to be brought

00:19:35.700 back into the states,

00:19:36.760 and the states are voting.

00:19:38.260 Would you veto

00:19:38.820 a national abortion ban

00:19:40.240 if it came to your desk?

00:19:40.520 Well, I won't have to,

00:19:41.460 because, again,

00:19:42.480 two things.

00:19:43.280 Number one,

00:19:43.860 she said she'll go back

00:19:44.680 to Congress,

00:19:45.140 she'll never get the vote.

00:19:46.060 But if I could just

00:19:46.780 get a yes or no,

00:19:47.560 because you're running me,

00:19:48.520 J.D. Vance has said

00:19:50.140 that you would veto

00:19:51.160 if it did come to your desk.

00:19:52.560 Well, I didn't discuss it

00:19:53.600 with J.D.,

00:19:54.500 in all fairness,

00:19:55.540 J.D.,

00:19:56.360 and I don't mind

00:19:57.700 if he has a certain view,

00:19:59.400 but I think he was

00:19:59.920 speaking for me,

00:20:00.540 but I really didn't.

00:20:01.520 You know,

00:20:02.100 it is so hard

00:20:03.360 to get to the truth.

00:20:05.140 Nevertheless,

00:20:05.900 it is certain

00:20:06.840 that the rights

00:20:07.960 of the unborn child

00:20:09.040 have been quietly forgotten,

00:20:10.980 even by some

00:20:11.780 of their former defenders.

00:20:13.660 However,

00:20:14.420 we need to be clear.

00:20:16.500 More and more

00:20:17.840 allegedly pro-life

00:20:19.080 conservatives

00:20:19.740 are quietly dropping

00:20:21.260 an integral pro-life stance

00:20:22.980 in favor of one

00:20:24.080 that is only

00:20:25.060 against late-term abortion.

00:20:26.300 We are betrayed

00:20:28.060 on all sides.

00:20:30.240 Meanwhile,

00:20:30.760 restrictions on pro-life speech

00:20:32.500 and activity

00:20:33.120 are getting worse

00:20:34.040 and worse.

00:20:35.140 In May,

00:20:35.780 under the Biden-Democrat

00:20:37.080 administration,

00:20:38.300 the DC-9

00:20:39.320 were sentenced

00:20:40.060 by a pro-abortion judge.

00:20:42.380 They were convicted

00:20:43.520 in the Washington,

00:20:45.620 D.C.

00:20:46.100 FACE Act.

00:20:47.360 It's called

00:20:47.660 the Freedom of Access

00:20:48.640 to Clinic Entrances Act.

00:20:50.200 And in those trials,

00:20:52.000 they were convicted

00:20:52.660 for peaceful protest

00:20:54.100 at a late-term abortion clinic

00:20:55.760 in Washington, D.C.

00:20:57.520 These brave men

00:20:59.020 and women

00:20:59.500 wanted to save

00:21:00.520 the lives of babies

00:21:01.720 and provide help

00:21:02.760 to their mothers.

00:21:04.060 And now,

00:21:04.880 these normal pro-lifers,

00:21:06.620 like you and me,

00:21:07.980 are in jail.

00:21:09.840 Will Goodman,

00:21:10.820 one of the nine,

00:21:11.800 was sentenced

00:21:12.300 to 27 months

00:21:13.920 in prison

00:21:14.480 and fined

00:21:15.260 following conviction

00:21:16.260 last year

00:21:16.940 of blocking access

00:21:18.140 to a late-term

00:21:19.120 abortion facility

00:21:20.160 in the nation's capital.

00:21:21.760 Lauren Handy,

00:21:22.920 John Hinshaw,

00:21:24.100 Heather Idoni,

00:21:25.560 Rosemary Geraghty

00:21:26.800 were also found

00:21:28.340 guilty of violating

00:21:29.460 the FACE Act

00:21:30.280 and conspiracy

00:21:31.560 against rights.

00:21:33.520 Four more

00:21:34.200 pro-lifers

00:21:35.080 were dealt with

00:21:36.020 soon after.

00:21:37.180 And it was not

00:21:37.720 that long ago

00:21:38.540 when these people

00:21:39.560 of conscience

00:21:40.340 and principles

00:21:41.880 would have been

00:21:43.040 seen as heroes.

00:21:45.420 How long until

00:21:46.180 your name

00:21:46.940 and my name

00:21:47.760 are being reported

00:21:48.740 as pro-lifers

00:21:49.520 who have been

00:21:50.000 sentenced

00:21:50.340 with them.

00:21:52.180 This isn't just

00:21:53.180 happening in America,

00:21:54.220 by the way.

00:21:54.980 Pro-lifers

00:21:55.460 are being persecuted

00:21:56.500 for speaking the truth

00:21:57.920 outside abortion centers

00:21:59.240 across Canada

00:22:00.140 and in the UK.

00:22:01.500 Even silent prayer

00:22:03.000 is illegal

00:22:03.840 in some places.

00:22:05.880 Society continues

00:22:07.100 its freefall

00:22:08.100 into abominations

00:22:09.640 even worse

00:22:10.600 than those

00:22:11.180 of pre-Christian

00:22:12.160 paganism

00:22:12.860 in which

00:22:13.520 unwanted infants

00:22:14.860 were exposed

00:22:15.460 to the elements

00:22:16.320 and abandoned

00:22:17.200 to death.

00:22:18.880 But is it surprising

00:22:20.140 that we are

00:22:21.180 slumping towards

00:22:22.500 infanticide

00:22:23.260 when our society

00:22:24.140 accepts the

00:22:24.920 satanic

00:22:25.500 anti-sacrament

00:22:26.600 of abortion

00:22:27.200 itself?

00:22:29.000 Moloch no longer

00:22:30.220 needs a burning

00:22:31.180 iron statue

00:22:32.140 as in the days

00:22:32.900 of old

00:22:33.300 to receive

00:22:34.060 our helpless

00:22:34.660 innocent babies.

00:22:35.960 He no longer

00:22:36.700 needs his

00:22:37.480 bloodthirsty

00:22:38.380 priests

00:22:38.960 to bang drums

00:22:40.160 and clap their

00:22:40.840 hands in order

00:22:41.540 to drown out

00:22:42.460 the cries

00:22:43.300 of those babies.

00:22:45.100 Modern day

00:22:45.940 infant sacrifices

00:22:47.120 to Moloch

00:22:47.840 are carried out

00:22:49.060 in the sanitized

00:22:50.360 environment

00:22:50.900 of medical clinics.

00:22:53.100 It took nothing

00:22:53.960 less than

00:22:54.620 the God-made man,

00:22:56.580 Jesus Christ,

00:22:57.540 and his Holy Church

00:22:58.620 to end

00:22:59.460 this devilish

00:23:00.440 practice.

00:23:01.940 And where

00:23:02.640 is his church

00:23:03.500 today?

00:23:04.680 Well,

00:23:05.280 I can tell you

00:23:06.280 where it is not.

00:23:07.900 It is not

00:23:08.680 with Cardinal

00:23:09.440 Blaise Cupich

00:23:10.360 who spoke

00:23:11.300 at the abortion

00:23:12.100 crazed

00:23:12.620 Democratic National

00:23:14.180 Congress

00:23:14.720 in Chicago

00:23:15.580 a few weeks

00:23:16.320 ago.

00:23:17.040 He was silent

00:23:18.480 about life

00:23:19.720 and morality

00:23:20.580 issues

00:23:21.120 and the

00:23:21.880 Democratic Party

00:23:22.700 support for

00:23:23.340 abortion

00:23:23.760 while at the

00:23:24.600 same time

00:23:25.340 Planned Parenthood

00:23:26.300 conducted abortions

00:23:27.620 in their

00:23:28.220 death truck

00:23:29.180 steps away

00:23:30.540 from the

00:23:30.920 convention center.

00:23:32.420 He was silent

00:23:33.700 about his

00:23:34.780 supposed

00:23:35.320 Master

00:23:35.920 our Lord

00:23:36.300 Jesus Christ

00:23:37.080 during his

00:23:38.140 three-minute

00:23:38.920 invocation

00:23:39.600 where

00:23:40.620 Cardinal Cupich

00:23:41.700 had his

00:23:42.220 pectoral cross

00:23:43.200 hidden inside

00:23:44.340 his jacket.

00:23:45.260 Cardinal Cupich

00:23:45.920 prayed for

00:23:46.680 peace and

00:23:47.340 unity

00:23:47.900 and the

00:23:48.820 good of

00:23:49.500 the nation

00:23:49.980 and never

00:23:50.660 mentioned

00:23:51.240 the incarnate

00:23:52.020 Son of God

00:23:52.760 Jesus Christ

00:23:53.800 our King

00:23:54.400 and Redeemer.

00:23:55.580 Like I said,

00:23:57.060 we are betrayed

00:23:57.800 on all sides.

00:24:00.380 In the face

00:24:01.440 of this betrayal

00:24:02.300 what are we

00:24:03.060 to do?

00:24:04.400 Well,

00:24:04.840 Sister

00:24:05.280 Lucy of

00:24:05.960 Fatima

00:24:06.260 famously said

00:24:07.140 in 1957

00:24:07.980 and I

00:24:08.520 quote,

00:24:09.680 We should

00:24:10.180 not wait

00:24:10.860 for an

00:24:11.220 appeal to

00:24:11.940 the world

00:24:12.460 to come

00:24:13.100 from Rome

00:24:13.840 on the

00:24:14.160 part of

00:24:14.620 the Holy

00:24:14.920 Father

00:24:15.260 to do

00:24:15.820 penance

00:24:16.180 nor should

00:24:16.980 we wait

00:24:17.440 for the

00:24:18.060 call to

00:24:18.760 penance

00:24:19.140 to come

00:24:19.500 from our

00:24:19.940 bishops

00:24:20.220 in our

00:24:20.700 diocese.

00:24:21.440 No,

00:24:22.340 our Lord

00:24:23.060 has already

00:24:24.140 very often

00:24:25.300 used these

00:24:25.940 means and

00:24:26.920 the world

00:24:27.520 has not

00:24:28.220 paid attention

00:24:28.820 and that

00:24:29.300 is why

00:24:29.800 it is

00:24:30.340 necessary

00:24:30.840 for each

00:24:31.860 one of

00:24:32.360 us to

00:24:32.720 begin to

00:24:33.400 reform

00:24:33.860 himself

00:24:34.720 spiritually.

00:24:35.480 Each

00:24:36.500 person

00:24:37.000 must

00:24:37.760 not only

00:24:38.320 save

00:24:38.760 his own

00:24:39.280 soul

00:24:39.680 but also

00:24:40.640 all the

00:24:41.260 souls that

00:24:41.760 God has

00:24:42.160 placed on

00:24:43.140 our path

00:24:44.060 end quote.

00:24:45.460 So it's

00:24:45.960 up to us

00:24:46.480 you and

00:24:47.420 me

00:24:47.600 and that's

00:24:49.040 where

00:24:49.180 LifeSite News

00:24:49.740 comes in.

00:24:51.040 LifeSite News

00:24:51.520 is on the

00:24:52.240 forefront of

00:24:53.140 keeping the

00:24:53.820 world informed

00:24:54.820 about threats

00:24:55.760 to life,

00:24:56.480 faith,

00:24:56.820 family and

00:24:57.320 freedom.

00:24:58.140 We are at

00:24:58.620 the forefront

00:24:59.180 of covering

00:25:00.000 elections and

00:25:01.380 other major

00:25:02.220 political events

00:25:03.200 from a

00:25:03.640 faithfully

00:25:04.320 Catholic

00:25:04.840 and

00:25:05.280 resolutely

00:25:06.200 anti-abortion

00:25:07.060 perspective.

00:25:08.680 LifeSite News

00:25:09.180 provides an

00:25:09.920 uncompromising

00:25:11.120 defense of

00:25:11.860 life against

00:25:12.520 supporters of

00:25:13.260 abortion in

00:25:14.140 all parties.

00:25:15.260 Many people

00:25:15.860 only know

00:25:16.580 about the

00:25:17.020 rapid steps

00:25:17.960 toward rampant

00:25:19.360 abortion on

00:25:19.960 demand,

00:25:21.000 late-term

00:25:21.460 abortion and

00:25:22.280 infanticide

00:25:23.080 because they

00:25:23.520 read it on

00:25:24.520 LifeSite News.

00:25:25.980 If we cannot

00:25:27.180 continue,

00:25:28.480 unborn babies

00:25:29.460 will die.

00:25:31.320 But I

00:25:31.880 recently spoke

00:25:32.500 to our

00:25:32.840 director of

00:25:33.400 development

00:25:33.780 who told me

00:25:34.880 that LifeSite

00:25:35.460 News'

00:25:35.820 donations have

00:25:36.820 been starting

00:25:37.220 to trend

00:25:37.780 downward in

00:25:38.720 2024.

00:25:40.220 We urgently

00:25:41.500 need to meet

00:25:42.420 our fundraising

00:25:43.080 goal by

00:25:43.760 Thursday,

00:25:45.140 the 3rd of

00:25:45.720 October,

00:25:46.180 in order to

00:25:46.940 keep bringing

00:25:47.580 the truth

00:25:48.180 and facts

00:25:49.120 to people

00:25:49.940 worldwide.

00:25:51.500 So I need

00:25:52.300 to call on

00:25:53.060 your help

00:25:53.500 today to

00:25:54.400 support this

00:25:55.180 urgent appeal.

00:25:57.120 It is actually

00:25:57.720 one of my

00:25:58.300 privileges as

00:25:59.660 LifeSite News

00:26:00.700 co-founder and

00:26:01.480 editor-in-chief

00:26:02.300 to tell you

00:26:04.140 every quarter

00:26:05.160 to ask you

00:26:06.660 for the funds

00:26:07.400 that we need

00:26:07.880 to continue

00:26:08.320 our work.

00:26:08.960 It's my

00:26:09.360 privilege because

00:26:10.580 I know how

00:26:11.800 many of you

00:26:12.480 want to give

00:26:13.400 your all to

00:26:14.500 the fight for

00:26:15.240 Christ and

00:26:15.900 his truth,

00:26:16.640 and this gives

00:26:17.360 you that

00:26:17.760 opportunity.

00:26:19.060 It's my

00:26:19.720 privilege because

00:26:20.520 I know you

00:26:21.800 make difficult

00:26:22.440 sacrifices to

00:26:23.460 keep the

00:26:23.840 truth online.

00:26:25.080 Your gifts

00:26:25.940 move me

00:26:26.960 deeply because

00:26:27.840 they show

00:26:28.880 how much

00:26:29.460 love of

00:26:30.180 God and

00:26:30.760 neighbor still

00:26:31.700 exists in

00:26:32.400 the world,

00:26:33.080 despite the

00:26:33.860 weight of

00:26:34.500 the evil

00:26:34.940 all around

00:26:35.500 us.

00:26:36.660 Satan wants

00:26:38.060 us isolated

00:26:38.860 and alone so

00:26:39.840 that he can

00:26:40.440 pick us off

00:26:41.120 more easily,

00:26:41.960 but at

00:26:42.720 LifeSite News

00:26:43.360 he finds

00:26:44.420 millions of

00:26:45.560 Christ's

00:26:46.060 servants united

00:26:46.940 together in

00:26:47.820 defense of

00:26:48.480 life, faith,

00:26:49.520 family, and

00:26:50.220 freedom.

00:26:51.140 Because of

00:26:51.720 your generosity,

00:26:52.940 babies are

00:26:53.480 being saved who

00:26:54.640 would otherwise

00:26:55.280 have been killed.

00:26:55.940 freedoms are

00:26:57.480 being protected

00:26:58.280 which would

00:26:59.040 otherwise have

00:27:00.000 been lost.

00:27:01.020 And most

00:27:01.840 importantly,

00:27:03.200 souls are

00:27:04.020 returning to

00:27:04.860 the loving

00:27:05.300 embrace of

00:27:06.140 their Savior

00:27:06.620 Jesus Christ.

00:27:08.520 There is good

00:27:09.540 taking place

00:27:10.360 because of

00:27:11.800 your support

00:27:12.460 for LifeSite

00:27:13.040 News.

00:27:13.720 As I mentioned

00:27:14.240 before, there are

00:27:14.940 instructions at

00:27:15.700 the bottom of

00:27:16.240 the screen on

00:27:17.140 how to donate

00:27:18.000 by text.

00:27:19.540 U.S.

00:27:19.940 residents only,

00:27:20.940 however, can

00:27:22.080 text LifeSite

00:27:23.220 to

00:27:25.340 50155 on

00:27:27.320 your phone and

00:27:28.420 instructions will

00:27:29.240 take it from

00:27:29.800 there.

00:27:30.800 Otherwise, all

00:27:31.920 people can

00:27:32.740 donate by

00:27:33.700 going to

00:27:34.220 give to

00:27:34.820 LifeSiteNews.com.

00:27:37.280 And remember,

00:27:38.980 we cannot do

00:27:40.020 everything, but

00:27:41.160 we are doing

00:27:42.160 something.

00:27:43.060 We are saving

00:27:43.860 precious babies

00:27:44.620 who would be

00:27:45.380 otherwise lost.

00:27:46.300 We are bringing

00:27:47.080 the gospel to

00:27:48.520 souls who would

00:27:49.420 otherwise be

00:27:50.480 damned.

00:27:51.300 We are waking

00:27:52.340 up warriors for

00:27:53.260 freedom in

00:27:53.980 every nation

00:27:54.820 of the earth.

00:27:56.360 Donations in

00:27:57.140 the order of

00:27:57.800 $35, $50, $100,

00:27:59.560 $150, or $500

00:28:00.840 actually make up

00:28:01.860 the bulk of

00:28:02.580 LifeSite News'

00:28:03.220 funding.

00:28:04.040 Without these

00:28:04.760 essential gifts,

00:28:05.740 we could not go

00:28:06.700 about our day-to-day

00:28:07.740 business of

00:28:08.440 reporting the

00:28:09.360 news, providing

00:28:10.420 life-saving election

00:28:11.880 information, and

00:28:13.120 defending life from

00:28:14.380 conception to

00:28:15.080 natural death.

00:28:16.260 If LifeSite News

00:28:17.500 cannot operate,

00:28:19.060 there will be

00:28:19.500 nothing holding

00:28:20.340 back the political

00:28:21.240 wing of the

00:28:22.100 abortion empire

00:28:23.160 from pushing

00:28:23.960 their satanic

00:28:24.780 anti-sacrament.

00:28:27.000 Larger donations

00:28:27.780 of $1,000, $2,500,

00:28:29.980 or $5,000, or

00:28:31.460 more will have

00:28:32.480 a critical impact

00:28:33.800 as the demand

00:28:34.820 for more staff,

00:28:36.380 time, and even

00:28:37.620 additional personnel

00:28:38.540 must also be

00:28:39.740 considered.

00:28:40.900 That's why I

00:28:42.420 would urge you

00:28:43.140 to consider

00:28:43.700 whether you can

00:28:44.340 help LifeSite News

00:28:45.220 continue our fight

00:28:46.500 for life, faith,

00:28:47.680 family, and

00:28:48.320 freedom.

00:28:49.060 The funds are

00:28:49.820 needed urgently

00:28:50.820 by Thursday,

00:28:52.220 the 3rd of

00:28:52.880 October, and

00:28:53.900 that is the

00:28:54.580 deadline for

00:28:55.240 this fall

00:28:55.720 campaign to

00:28:56.340 close.

00:28:57.120 Please don't

00:28:57.620 delay.

00:28:58.300 Donate today

00:28:58.880 if you can.

00:28:59.980 And remember,

00:29:01.040 Christ is

00:29:01.620 King.

00:29:02.820 And there's

00:29:03.280 one more

00:29:03.640 thing.

00:29:04.740 The abortion

00:29:05.220 doctors, they

00:29:07.220 know full well

00:29:07.960 that Christ is

00:29:08.780 the true

00:29:09.340 divine physician.

00:29:11.080 He is the

00:29:11.700 ultimate threat

00:29:12.500 to their evil

00:29:13.220 abortion empire.

00:29:14.660 That's why

00:29:15.220 Dr. Hearn is

00:29:16.000 so desperate

00:29:17.100 and claimed in

00:29:18.260 one of those

00:29:18.800 interviews that

00:29:19.480 Christianity is

00:29:20.700 now the face

00:29:21.480 of fascism in

00:29:22.360 America.

00:29:23.860 You know your

00:29:24.800 opponents are

00:29:25.400 frightened when

00:29:26.380 they start calling

00:29:27.180 you fascists.

00:29:28.740 So one last

00:29:29.680 time, I call on

00:29:31.360 your help today

00:29:32.320 to support this

00:29:33.400 campaign's urgent

00:29:34.560 appeal to help

00:29:35.600 us keep these

00:29:36.520 abortion fanatics

00:29:37.640 on the run.

00:29:39.060 For LifeSite News,

00:29:40.360 this is John

00:29:40.880 Henry Weston,

00:29:42.040 and may God

00:29:42.680 bless you.
