1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: It's nothing short of an attack on women's basic human 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: rights and civil rights, and it's something that women in 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: America are going to have to fight against with everything 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: they've got. They want to challenge Roll verses Wade, but 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: my humble is that this is not the case we 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: want to bring to the Supreme Court because I think 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: this want to lose. So that was Senator Kirsten Gillibrand 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: doing the saying the same thing all the Democratic presidential 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: candidates said yesterday about the war on women and all 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. And then Pat Robertson, who's on 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the other side, he's a televangelist. He's on the other 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: side who has problems with the Row Versus way, but 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: doesn't think this is the way to go about it right, 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: although I think he's missing a key point or two. 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: And David French, senior writer for National Review, senior fellow 16 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: at the National Review Institute, has written an absolutely terrific 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: and thought provoking peace about what Alabama and Georgia are 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: trying to do. And David French joins us, Now, David, 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: how are you. I'm good. Thanks for having me. It's 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: our pleasure. Really enjoyed your your reasoning in the article, 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: why don't we lay out for the folks the legislatures 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: in Alabama and Georgia understand this law will not take 23 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: act effect anytime soon. What are they trying to do? Well, 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is create the right vehicle 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: for challenging Row versus ways. And the reason why they've 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: drafted the law with this in mind and in some 27 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: really important ways. One, Uh, this is a law unlike 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the restrictions on abortion that you've seen, 29 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: these more modest restrictions for example that um, for example, 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: say you know an abortion clinic has to meet these 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: kinds of medical requirements and facility requirements, or that abortion 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: doctors have to have admitting privileges. Uh, this is far 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: beyond that. There are beyond that, and in what they've 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: done because and the reason why they've done that, one 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: this is a matter of moral conviction. And the other 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: reason is that report could uphold every one of these 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: modest abortion restrictions that are before it now, every single 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: one of them, without touching Row or Casey. They could 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: just say, well, you know, this is just the modest 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: restricts and abortion. Wow, we're really we're really having very 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: inequality of voice quality. David, I don't know if there's anything. Yeah, sorry, 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: it's just kind of phasing in and out. But anyway, 43 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: we'll plunge on. Uh. But so they want to challenge 44 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Row though, And I like the part of your piece 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: where they're talking about establishing the personhood of the baby 46 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the fetus. Why is that so important? Yeah, that's important 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: because of suchs and nine of the rosy Rade opinion 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: by Justice Blackman, And in that he says, if the 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: personhood of the feet of the fetus is established by 50 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: constitutional laws, in the case for Row for abortion collapses. 51 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: In other words, once a baby is protected as a 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: person under law, a person cannot lose its life without 53 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: a right to do process for example. Um, and so 54 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: then the abortion case for abortion collapses. And so what 55 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: these both Alabama and Georgia are doing is they are 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: saying that they're that an unborn baby in these states 57 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: is a person. They're bestowing under state law personhood on 58 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: the baby. And now they're saying, well, we have established 59 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: personhood under ROW, the case for abortion therefore collapses. Now 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: the counter argument to that is that, well, under Row, 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: the only thing that matters is whether the federal Constitution 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: establishes personhood, but that's not really traditional American law that 63 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: the the parameters of individual liberties can be expanded by state, 64 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: not contracted by states. And so what they're arguing is 65 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: that by bestowing personhood on the child, they're expanding the 66 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: liberty of the child. Now, the counter argument would be, well, 67 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: then you're constricting the liberty of the mother, and that 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: would be the core fight at the Supreme Court. But 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: this is aimed directly at that section nine of the 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: Row opinion. As the sponsor of George's legislation said, his 71 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: bill wasn't waving its fisted row. It's answering Row versus 72 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: Wade exactly. So it's exactly aimed at part of Justice 73 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Blackman's opinion. I think it's a very smart Now, again 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: there's still guarantee that it will that it will win 75 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: the day, but I think it's a very smart and 76 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: it's a it's a philosophically and morally and scientifically, I believe, 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: proper approach to the abortion issue, because the core assertion 78 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: of the pro life movement is that that is a person, 79 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: a very small person inside the mother's wound. Right would 80 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: the court have to establish at what point it becomes 81 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: a person though, because I could get pretty thorny, well, 82 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, and that's that is a essentially that they 83 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: could say is that the Court doesn't establish that the 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: states do that the Constitution of the US is silent 85 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: on the state's ability to establish personhood beyond that, they 86 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: cannot restrict personhood beyond which the you know, to a 87 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: level the beyond the Federal Constitution. So the Supreme Court 88 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: doesn't have to decide personhood. The Supreme Court can say 89 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: the Constitution of the United States is silent on abortion, 90 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: and it permits states to define personhood in a way 91 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: that's more expansive than the Federal Constitution does and leave 92 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: it to the states, which is I believe, the proper 93 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: constitutional approach. I'm glad you brought that up. David French 94 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: is online senior writer for National Review and Senior Fellow 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: at the National Review Institute. I had one of my 96 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: favorite professors in college a thousand years ago. Um made 97 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: the point that the Road decision removed the well, it 98 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: distorted the politics of it. States could no longer vote 99 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: in a meaningful way on what they're people believed on 100 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: this extremely difficult topic. Um, and you make another point 101 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: in your piece about how it's distorted national politics presidential elections, 102 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: for instance, What did you mean by that? Yeah, So 103 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: think about this. If I live in the state of tendency, 104 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: and I do UM, and I want to impact the 105 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: abortion laws of my state, by far, by far, the 106 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: most important election that I will cast a vote in 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: is the United States presidential election. Because the president appoints 108 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: a justice or can appoint justices of the Supreme Court, 109 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: my own state Supreme Court, my own state laws are 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: far less relevant to the actual right to an abortion 111 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: than the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the United States. 112 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: And this is something that has has meant that national politics, 113 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: now for a generation since Roe have become have escalated 114 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: in intensity because you hear, you have one of the 115 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 1: most emotionally fraud issues, if not the most emotionally fraud 116 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: issue in the entire all of the United States politics, 117 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: and your ability to impact it is at best indirect 118 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: by voting for a president who appoints a justice, and 119 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: then once the justice is um and Um in office, 120 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: he does what he wants to do. And so what 121 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: I say is when you if you overturn row. If 122 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: you were to live in New York and you want 123 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: to protect abortion rights, then the most important election that 124 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you're going to vote in is going to be like 125 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: your local state legislature. Right. And as you make the point, 126 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: we've got this savage, bitter partisanship at the national level 127 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: over an issue that we will have teeny tiny incremental 128 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: indirect effects on as as voters, and so it's not 129 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: worth all the hatred exactly. So it's distorting our politics massively, 130 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: and what we need in this country we need to 131 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: de escalate presidential elections. We need to de escalate national politics. 132 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Yeah, but the citizens of California 133 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: have too much power over the citizens of Texas and 134 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: vice versa. I mean, this is this is not what 135 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: the founders intended. And when you're talking about a hyper 136 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: emotional issue like abortion, that is the constitutional United States 137 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: is silent about it. This isn't the first Amendment, this 138 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: isn't the second Amendment, this isn't the fourth or fifth Amendment. 139 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: The Constitution is silent on that. That is a classic 140 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: recipe for resolution by the states. And the more I 141 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: think we can communicate that to people, that let Alabamabama 142 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: be Alabama. Let New York be New York and have 143 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: the pro life and pro choice movements fight it out 144 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: on that turf. I think it's going to be better 145 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: for our nation. Is certainly going to be better for 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: unborn children. Its state after state after state announces it's 147 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: it's pro life intentions. And look, if people want to 148 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: build and create pro choice jurisdictions, they can do so. Hey, David, 149 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you this question just because we 150 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: bring it up a lot, and I don't ever hear 151 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: it anybodywhere else talking about it being hyper emotional and 152 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: you know, such a charge edition, all that sort of thing. 153 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: The polling shows that most people, even Democrats, are uncomfortable 154 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: with abortion after the first trimester. It's, you know, the 155 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: controversies all in that first trimester or whether it should 156 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: be allowed at all, But after that, the vast majority 157 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: of people who say no, that ain't cool after the 158 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: first trimester. Why can't we get some sort of ground 159 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: going there in terms of the battle, Well, and I 160 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: don't think most people know those poll numbers, by the way, listening, 161 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: you know the way I take it through the news, right, Well, 162 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: I think there's two reasons for that one. The number 163 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: one most important reason is because this issue has been 164 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: removed from the democratic process, largely by the Supreme Court 165 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: of the US. We haven't had an opportunity to have 166 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: national debates and reach a consensus and limitations that reflects 167 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: public values. We have not been able to do that 168 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: ever since Rows. So that's number one, and then number two. 169 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: These national polls are very deceptive because the regional and 170 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: state by state differences are dramatic. So you might have 171 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: a state of New York with a whole, you know, 172 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: ton of people who live there, they might have a 173 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: supermajority for a less restrictive abortion regime. But then you 174 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: might have a state of Alabama that has a supermajority 175 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: for as far more restrictive. Okay, well, that reinforces the 176 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: argument about letting the states, you know, or jurisdiction, very jurisdictions, 177 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: make their own decisions. Then exactly exactly, And you know, 178 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: people will point to national polls to try to rebut 179 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: what Alabama is doing. But you know, you know who 180 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: knows Alabama politics better than national posters. Alabama politicians, and 181 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: they voted a massive supermajority for this. Alabama law. A 182 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: massive in the Missouri um is just about to pass 183 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: an eight week abortion ban, ban on abortions after eight weeks, 184 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: and the margin in the House there with one seventeen 185 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: to thirty nine and in the Senate four to ten. 186 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: So if you're throwing a national poll at a local 187 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: southern politicians their board, right right, David matter, David final question, 188 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: in the limit of time we have, Unfortunately, what are 189 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: the chances you think this gets all the way to 190 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court either of these cases. Let me put 191 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: it this way. I'm pessimistic, but I'm not as pessimistic 192 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: ause I used to be. I think the more states 193 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: that pass a heartbeat bill or a bill like Alabama's, 194 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: the greater the likelihood that it will get to the 195 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: Spreme Court, simply because the Supreme Court will realize that 196 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: it has a popular ground swell on its hands and 197 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: it's going to either have to say once in you know, 198 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: at least decide this for a whole another generation, and say, no, 199 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna open this up. The Constitution is silent on abortion. 200 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: We're going to open up for the states, or we're 201 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: going to reaffirm row. Either way that's going to be 202 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: very clarifying. But when you're talking about an immense, geographic, 203 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: contiguous section of the United States of America now is 204 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: declaring itself unequivocally for life, that increases the chances that 205 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court will take this up. David French, Senior 206 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: writer for the National Review, Senior fellow at the National 207 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: Review Institute, David, we can talk to you all day, 208 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: but instead of that will have a link to your 209 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: piece so folks can find it easily great to talk 210 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: to you. Thank you, thanks so much for having me 211 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: our pleasure. Isn't it corrected that the woman involved in 212 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: the ROVERSUS Wade case ended up pro life at the 213 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: end of her life. Yeah. Yeah, This might be one 214 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: of those issues that I never thought would move in 215 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: my lifetime, like a lot of them out there that 216 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: have recently, and that is going to get some movement. Yes, yeah, 217 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: and and honestly, especially if you can let the States 218 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: tailor the approach to this incredibly troubling issue to the 219 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: will of their own people. Um that I think the solution, 220 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: the quote unquote solution for everybody will be much more 221 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: comforta when wass um, I know they didn't have the 222 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: they certainly didn't have the three D pictures of babies 223 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: that they have now where you just see a baby 224 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: in there. Um, did they even have ultrasounds? Did they 225 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: have could you hear a heartbeat back then? I don't 226 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: think you could even hear a heartbeat back then. So 227 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: it was completely just you know, a conversation with with 228 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: no knowledge of what's going on in there. For the 229 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: most part um you you would hope this wasn't true, 230 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: but it is absolutely true. The more focused and abstraction comes, 231 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: and the more becomes and the more real it becomes, 232 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: the more details, your understanding of it becomes a completely changed. 233 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: That's why they think polling has changed on this issue. 234 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: It's here in the heartbeat, it's seen the pictures, it's right, 235 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: Oh that's a kid, right, And there are plenty on 236 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: the left to the major media have a great deal 237 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: of sympathy for who are okay with offering the baby 238 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: after it's born, which which is an extremist position supported 239 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: by virtually no but insane and listen. I respect people's 240 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: views on this topic on all sides, I really do. 241 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: It's a thorny one, it's a hard one. I don't 242 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: respect you on people's on all sides that view you 243 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: just put out that crazy. I mean, on both sides. 244 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: You know, I lean this way, I lean now, I 245 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: find I get it. But yeah, that that's an incredibly 246 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: extremist view, and we are getting a absolutely fraudulent view 247 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: of what people think about that from our lying, lying media, 248 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: and the varant are strong and Jetty
