1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,520 Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show. 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 2: Recently, I received a call from a woman named Monica, 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: and she was a voice. I've said this before, so 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 2: if you think you're listening to a podcast you already heard, No, 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: I'm introducing the same person again, just a different podcast. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: She represented a voice that I believe is a very 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 2: common voice in America, but you don't see it on TV. 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: And that is a woman who is a wife and 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: a mother and those two things drive who she is. 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: Now does that make her less than a woman who 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: goes to work every day in a corporate job. Absolutely not. 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: In fact, she had a high powered corporate job, and 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: like my wife, she chose to step out of that 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: and focus on the family exclusively. That's not a judgment 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: if you are still in the workplace. But I'm tired 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: of women being judged who choose to leave the workplace 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: as if they're lazy or dumb, dumbs, or irrelevant or 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: not putting their talents to use because they are. I 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: was raised by a stay at home mother. It took 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: a huge toll on our family. It would have been 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: much better financially if she went to work, but she 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: stayed home and raised us, and it made a world 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: of difference for me. Every family should get to make 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: that decision for themselves. But I'm tired of people dismissing 25 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 2: or insulting women who choose to stay home and their 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: idea on what good policies they want for this country 27 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: or what is good for their children and their husband 28 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: and their finances. And that voice needs to be heard. 29 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: So Monica did a podcast for us. She just recorded. 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: We went back and forth and when we talked it 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: through and she's finding her voice, and I said, if 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: you'll send them, I'll play them. I want to amplify 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: more voices, particularly voices that are not being heard enough of. 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: So if you like it, send me an email and 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: I'll forward it onto her. If you have show ideas, 36 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: if you hear it and want to interview her, If 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: in some way you want to communicate something to Monica, 38 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 2: send me an email through our website Michael Berryshow dot 39 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: com and I will forward those to Monica and she 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: can do with it whatever she likes.

So here's 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: Monica enjoy. 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: So this week our family celebrated my oldest son's eleventh birthday. 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: We reminisced about the day he was born, the excitement 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: and nervousness because he was an emergency C section, but 48 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: mostly we were just so thankful he was healthy and 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: that we've been able to be with him these eleven years. 50 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: This is quite the contrasts from this week's DNC convention, 51 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: where abortion was not just an issue to be discussed, 52 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: but actually celebrated. For me personally, it really brought to 53 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: light just how much women are willing to sacrifice for abortion. 54 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about their unborn baby. By 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: making abortion the one and only issue some women are 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: choosing to vote on, they're telling the world that they 57 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: care about one thing and one thing only, and that's themselves. 58 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: They don't want to ever be inconvenienced or burdened by 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: another life. And if we're honest, this is truly how 60 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: the left views pregnancy and motherhood as a burden, not 61 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a gift, a precious gift bestowed on women by God 62 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: since creation. They want young women to see motherhood and 63 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: family as a thing of the past, who will only 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: get in the way of your plans. But in reality, 65 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: a vote for abortion is a sacrifice to one who 66 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: may never know what true love is the love of 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: a child, because there is nothing more christ like than that, 68 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: because children love you at your worst. There are moments 69 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I've gone to my kids in tears because I've said 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: something I shouldn't have to them. I've raised my voice 71 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: in their response, It's okay, mommy, I already forgot about that. 72 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: You're the best insert hug. Talk about a humbling moment. 73 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: My kids challenge me to be a better person every day, 74 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: which then makes me a better wife, a better friend, 75 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: a better employee, and a better daughter. As a daughter, 76 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: I've recently had to spend a lot of time helping 77 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: my parents as that they've gotten older. There are times 78 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: I've had to play more the parent than they have, 79 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: and mother had just prepared me for that. So a 80 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: vote for abortions sacrifices the wisdom learned from having to 81 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: make sometimes very hard choices for people other than yourself. 82 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: A vote for abortion takes away the opportunity for men 83 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: to become fathers. We're so busy trying to turn men 84 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: into women and to make them less manly and less 85 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: aggressive per the left. You want to see a man 86 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: be vulnerable and humbled. Place a baby in his arms, 87 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: have him change a diaper, have him hold his wife 88 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: in his arms as she cries to postpartum. My husband 89 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: did all of this for me, and it was amazing. 90 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: I pray all young women take a moment to really 91 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: visualize what they want their future to look like and 92 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: if a vote for abortion is worth the sacrifice. 93 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: If you like The Michael Berry Show and Podcast, please 94 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: tell one friend, and if you're so inclined, write a 95 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: nice review of our podcast.
