This is Undaunted Life, a Man's Podcast, I'm your host Kyle Thompson, let's get into it.
0:22
All right guys, thanks so much for listening in to the show today and guys I just gotta tell you,
0:26
I'm gonna be right up front with you from the very beginning.
0:28
I might release this episode a little bit early because literally to my left, on my screen here,
0:32
to my left, they're about to read the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial in the death of George
0:37
Floyd. And so there's a lot of breaking news, a lot of stuff going on, but I wanted to make
0:40
sure to record this episode because this is also important. But don't worry, I will give you my
0:45
full thoughts on how that's going on. And if I keep cutting my eyes to the left, at least,
0:49
you'll know that's the reason why. But before we get into today's episode, I just want to
0:53
flow a little bit on last week's episode. So last week, if you've not listened to episode 190 of
0:57
this podcast, it's called we're going for it. Okay, you've got to listen to that episode.
1:02
So it's a short one, but it gives you kind of a peek behind the curtain as to what we're doing
1:06
here with Undaunted Life, what our intentions are for the future, and how we plan to significantly
1:11
ramp up the things that we're doing to help you guys push back darkness. And also in that
1:16
episode, we talked about the ways that you guys would be able to partner with us. And so if you'd
1:20
like to have a little bit more information on that, you can just go to www dot undaunted dot life
1:26
backslash donate, but make sure you listen to that episode. But for this week, I wanted to get into
1:31
an article that was brought to my attention when I was listening to the Albert Molar podcast earlier
1:35
this week. And it was, it was just astonishing that there's very few things I feel like now
1:42
that can absolutely catch me completely off guard. And this one kind of did, and it was because of
1:47
how honest it was, but also the timing was very, very interesting. So this was a Los Angeles Times
1:53
article LA Times article, and it was called this, the right to an abortion means the right to have it
1:59
for any reason. Okay, now this was not authored by a single person, this was authored by the Times
2:04
editorial board, right? So this was an editorial decision to write this. And here's the thing
2:09
about the LA Times for those of you that don't pay attention to this type of stuff because you're
2:12
not a gigantic nerd, but it's one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. It's always in
2:16
the top five in terms of its distribution and circulation. And it actually has a bigger readership
2:21
than even the New York Times, at least from a circulation standpoint. But this article was posted
2:26
and published in published on April the 16th of 2021. And so what I want to do, because I know
2:33
there are a lot of people that are kind of on both sides of the fence that will only read
2:37
certain parts or only show certain things from a video just so it really supports their argument.
2:42
I'm going to read the full text of this article. It's not long. It's not a very long one. So you
2:46
can just hang with me and then you can make fun of me for reading out loud later. I'll do my best.
2:49
But I don't want anyone to say that I was in any way leaving out any context or misrepresenting
2:55
what was said in this editorial by the LA Times. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and start reading
3:01
and I'm just going to go all the way through and then I'm going to give you my commentary. Okay,
3:04
so here we go. A constitutional right to an abortion means a right to have one for any reason. That
3:10
should also mean a woman can elect to tell her doctor or not why she wants an abortion. But that's
3:16
not what's happening in Ohio where the state legislature in 2017 passed a ban on doctors
3:21
performing abortions when they know the woman is seeking one because her fetus has been diagnosed
3:25
with down syndrome or suspected of having it. The law also made it a felony for doctors to defy
3:31
the law. That measure is just one of hundreds of unjustified restrictions that state legislatures
3:36
have passed in the last decade to curtail a woman's right to an abortion up to the point when the
3:41
fetus is viable outside the woman's body, roughly 24 weeks in a pregnancy. The Supreme Court guaranteed
3:46
that right nearly 50 years ago in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade and has upheld at multiple
3:52
times since then. Any restriction that makes it overly difficult to get an abortion or conflicts
3:56
with the right to obtain one such as limiting abortions to the first eight to 10 weeks of
4:00
pregnancy is typically blocked by the courts. And the recent pasal of laws that bar women from
4:05
having an abortion for certain reasons, for example, to select the child's gender or to avoid a genetic
4:10
genetic anomaly like down syndrome have often been blocked by courts as well. That's what initially
4:16
happened with the Ohio law. A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction after lawyers for several
4:21
medical service providers and a doctor in Ohio sued the state. But in a troubling decision,
4:26
the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit overturned the lower court's order and removed
4:30
the injunction this week, allowing the law to go into effect. Writing the lead opinion for a fractured
4:36
court, Circuit Court Judge Alice M. Batchelder said the law never bans a woman from seeking an
4:41
abortion for a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome nor poses a burden that interferes with her
4:45
getting in the abortion. Why? Because a woman doesn't have to tell the doctor performing the
4:49
abortion that she wants the abortion for that reason. In Batchelder's view, the law is there
4:54
only to stop doctors in the state from knowingly performing abortions on fetuses with Down syndrome.
4:59
If the doctors don't know about the fetus's diagnosis, Batchelder reasoned they aren't
5:03
discriminating against the Down syndrome community. But in fact, all the state has done is
5:08
discriminated against the women who want to have a frank discussion with their doctors about whether
5:13
they want to give birth to a baby that is expected to have Down syndrome. The court admits it's the
5:17
woman's right to have the abortion for whatever reason. But by keeping mum about their motives,
5:22
the judge argues a woman relieves some of the stigma about Down syndrome. As Judge Jeffrey Sutton
5:29
put it in a concurring opinion, the Ohio law makes the decision to pry the one and leaves it there,
5:34
perhaps just where it should be at and should be left. At the same time, it prevents the medical
5:39
profession in particular and society in general from knowingly casting aspersions on individuals
5:43
with Down syndrome or worst of all, celebrating the number of Down syndrome births averted.
5:47
That's just loopy. It's the abortion patient equivalent of don't ask, don't tell. And that
5:54
helps no one worse. It may be counterproductive. It certainly doesn't help people living with
5:59
Down syndrome who rightly need to be protected against discrimination at school and work. And did
6:04
it occur to the state legislatures and the appellate judges that the more deeply and candidly a woman
6:08
can discuss her options and possible decision with her doctor who may also be the one performing the
6:13
abortion, the more information she may get about Down syndrome, which could help to overcome the
6:17
stigma, the law sites. But at the end of the day, it is still an unconstitutional ban on abortion
6:22
as Judge Bernie Bowie Donald points out in her dissent. Ohio would have to have us believe that
6:28
such a ban is constitutionally acceptable. As long as the law does not affect other women
6:32
with other reasons for seeking an abortion. In other words, it does not ban many women, so it's
6:38
not a ban. As 18 constitutional law scholars point out in an amicus brief, that is nonsense.
6:44
A ban on any particular abortion is just that a ban. It does not matter that not every abortion
6:50
is banned. Rather, it matters that the law bans any woman from choosing an abortion. The Supreme
6:56
Court evidently needs to underline a point that should have been been clear already. No matter
7:01
what lawmakers may think about a woman's reasons for attaining an abortion, those reasons don't
7:07
matter. Okay. So that is it in its entirety. So I tried to read it deadpan. I tried to read
7:12
it straight down the middle. So you guys didn't think I was trying to do an inflection one way or
7:15
the other. So I did my best. Okay. So here's my commentary. So this article is obviously chock
7:21
full of euphemisms and misdirection. You know, we hear the word used fetus instead of baby.
7:26
We hear, you know, women's right to an abortion instead of abortion on demand.
7:31
So anytime you're reading something like this, it's going to come from a leftist perspective,
7:34
which is certainly what you're going to get from the editorial board at the LA Times.
7:37
You should just be ready for that. So I know some people were like, Oh my gosh,
7:40
why'd they use these words and why'd they use that words? It's because this is how these people
7:44
think they want to communicate in euphemisms because if they don't communicate in euphemisms,
7:48
then they have to kind of really, you know, bring themselves to the table and understand
7:52
what they're talking about. So another piece of commentary is that we as pro-lifers,
7:57
so I'm assuming most of you listening to this are pro-lifers. We certainly hope that you are.
8:01
If if not, we have a lot of episodes that we think might change your mind, but we celebrate
8:05
Down syndrome abortion bans like they matter.
8:11
Now that might strike you as a little bit weird for me to say because, well, Kyle,
8:14
aren't you pro-lifed? Don't you want us to ban Down syndrome abortions? Well, yeah, I mean,
8:20
of course I do, but I want to ban all abortions, right? Because I want to give you a reminder here,
8:29
the overwhelming majority, the overwhelming number of abortions occur for a single reason,
8:35
and that reason is convenience, right? It's just not a good time for me right now. I'm too young
8:41
or I'm too old or I already have a few kids or I don't know who the dad is or man, I don't really
8:46
have money right now or I'm a junior in college. I really want to finish out my education. It's
8:50
convenience. Guys, less than 1% of abortions that occur in this country occur because of rape and
8:56
incest. That that's what everyone likes to go to. Oh, let's talk about rape. Let's talk about
9:00
incest. Oh, you want those people to take those babies to term, right? But at the same time,
9:05
you have the same people that I'll talk about, you know, the woman's health being in danger.
9:09
But technically, guys, 0% of abortions, 0% occur to quote, unquote, save the life of the mother.
9:17
And because here's the thing is because any physician that took the Hippocratic oath and,
9:21
you know, frankly took it seriously, they had to have taken that oath with the inclusion of the
9:26
phrase first, do no harm. And then that realizes that their goal should be to preserve the lives
9:33
of the two people that are involved in that situation. Because any position where their salt
9:39
realizes that there's not one person that they're dealing with when they're talking about a potential
9:43
abortion, right? Or when you have a woman that's maybe having some sort of medical issue or medical
9:49
emergency, that's going to affect her life. Obviously, that affects the life of the baby inside of her
9:54
as well. Okay. And so the thing that's important for us to remember is that, yes, I'm glad that
10:02
babies with Down syndrome in the womb won't be murdered for that reason anymore in Ohio.
10:07
But there's a massive problem here. And that is that in the state of Ohio, the woman can just say,
10:13
I don't want it. And she can get an abortion. But if she lists the reason as Down syndrome,
10:21
if she tells her doctor, I'm going to kill this baby. Actually, I'm not going to kill them. I'm
10:26
going to pay you as a mercenary to go into my womb and murder the baby for me. Then, and it's
10:32
because of the reason of Down syndrome. That is banned, right? So do you see how easily a woman
10:36
can get around this? Do you see how easily someone like, you know, an organization like Planned
10:41
Parenthood or any individual abortionist could just get around that? Like the number of stories
10:45
I've heard of people like basically Planned Parenthood being like, Oh, don't tell me. Don't
10:48
tell me how old you are. Otherwise, I won't be able to give you an abortion. Don't tell me how
10:52
he got pregnant. Otherwise, I might have to file something with the state saying that, you know,
10:55
you may be part of sex slavery or you may be being taken advantage of by somebody that is
11:00
statutorily raping you are just straight up raping you. So it's a big issue there. Again,
11:04
I'm not hating on heartbeat bills. I think as of like an hour ago, I got a notification on my phone
11:09
saying that the state of Oklahoma is going to be banning abortions after a heartbeat can be detected.
11:14
And I say, great. What about all the babies that are aborted before a heartbeat can be detected?
11:19
Because organizations like Planned Parenthood, they make all their money off of things like
11:24
abortions, right? That they make the majority of their money off of that procedure. And so isn't it
11:28
in their best interest to not find a heartbeat? If you've ever had an ultrasound or your life is
11:33
at an ultrasound or something like that, you know that they sometimes struggle to find the heartbeat.
11:37
Well, if you work for one of those organizations, you're just going to look for the heartbeat for
11:40
a little bit and be like, whoopsie. I mean, is there is there like a police officer sitting there
11:44
in the room with you, making sure that you give it the good college, good old college trying to
11:48
find the heartbeat? No, there there's no justification for it, right? There's it's really hard to follow
11:53
up with that because you would literally have to have a soldier or a police officer or a judge
11:58
or some sort of attorney in all these different exam rooms. And that's not really something that
12:02
we're going to see happen. Okay, spend a lot of time on that point. But let's get back into the
12:05
article here. I want to go through a couple of quotes. So here's a quote from the article.
12:09
But in fact, all the state has done is discriminated against the women who want to have a frank
12:14
discussion with their doctors about whether they want to give birth to a baby that is expected
12:18
to have Down syndrome, which makes me think, is that all this is about? Is that all that this
12:26
is about? We're just preventing women from having forthright discussions about a mercenary
12:33
as to whether or not they should pay them to murder the baby. Is that what we're talking about?
12:39
They're they're trying to take this macro issue and boil it down to this little bitty thing
12:43
and say, no, what we're actually doing is we're discriminating against women that just want to
12:46
have a frank discussion with their doctors. No, actually, what we're having a discussion about is
12:51
whether or not y'all are going to get into an arrangement, a financial arrangement and kill
12:55
that baby. That's what I want to talk about. That's what we should discriminate against. I fully,
13:00
I'm not for discrimination macro, but I will fully discriminate against any woman that is
13:04
trying to kill the baby in her womb or any guy that is going to drive her there or pay for it or
13:08
just sit idly by and watch their baby get murdered. Sorry, I'm totally discriminating against that.
13:13
But going back to the article, I want to read this quote here. As Judge Jeffrey Sutton put in a
13:18
concurring opinion, the Ohio law makes the decision a private one and leaves it there,
13:23
perhaps just where it should be left. At the same time, it prevents the medical profession in
13:27
particular and society in general from knowingly casting aspersions on individuals with Down syndrome.
13:32
Or, worst of all, celebrating the number of Down syndrome versus averted. That's just loopy.
13:37
It's the abortion patients equivalent of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And that helps no one.
13:42
Worse, it may be counterproductive. It certainly doesn't help people living with Down syndrome
13:47
who rightly need to be protected against discrimination at school and at work.
13:51
Oh, okay. So we're all the sudden concerned about somebody with Down syndrome being discriminated
14:02
against at school and work. But we're not worried about someone with Down syndrome being discriminated
14:09
against while in the womb. That's all that nonsense that the editorial board wrote there.
14:16
That's what they're saying. Well, gosh, darn it, we don't want people with Down syndrome to be
14:20
discriminated against. And yeah, I would raise my hand and say the exact same thing. I don't want
14:23
that. But also discrimination can happen not at school or the workplace. It could happen in the womb.
14:30
Someone's like, well, gosh, I don't want my kid to have Down syndrome. Let's just kill it.
14:34
As if being dead is better than being alive with Down syndrome.
14:40
I would say there are probably millions of people, human beings, with worth that are
14:46
alive today on this planet that have Down syndrome that would disagree with you.
14:49
That they would say, no, it's actually pretty cool to be alive. I'm super glad my parents didn't
14:54
stamp me out while I was in the womb. Going back to the article here, another quote.
14:59
And did it occur to state legislators and the appellate judges that the more deeply and candidly
15:03
a woman can discuss her options and possible decision with her doctor, who may also be the one
15:07
performing the abortion, the more information she may get about Down syndrome, which could help to
15:12
overcome the stigma, the law sites. Oh, okay. So we're now super concerned about the mother
15:22
who's currently considering a murder for hire program to stamp out the life of her child,
15:28
perhaps having to go to Dr. Google in order to avoid stigma. I mean, let's just be honest,
15:35
guys. I mean, who gives a flip about the life inside of her? I mean, who cares about that?
15:39
She might get bit by the stigma bug. Oh, no, no. Like, what are we going to do if that happens?
15:48
This is literally how people think we're so worried about this woman's
15:53
feelings. Like there might be some stigmatizing going on in the situation. And we got to avoid that.
16:00
And laws like this just don't help us do that. Again, it's a seared consciousness
16:04
that worries about the feelings of a woman and not the feeling that the baby feels when they're
16:10
being ripped to pieces in the womb. Again, babies at a very, very early part of production,
16:17
right, or in their part of development, rather not production, but development.
16:21
It's evidence that they feel pain very early. Essentially, every abortion that takes place in the
16:27
United States occurs after the point where the baby can definably feel pain. So if they're being
16:33
sucked out with a suction to, they feel that, right? You've heard me say this before. If they're
16:39
being sawed into pieces and then being pulled out little by little, and then the remains of them
16:44
are scraped from the uterine wall, they can feel that, right? When an abortionist puts a needle,
16:51
into their heart and injects them with poison, and it takes them between a day or two to die in the
16:57
womb before they basically force the baby out in a forced birth. But after the baby is passed away,
17:03
they feel that, that they feel their skin burning. They feel their organs boiling from the inside.
17:10
They feel it. Okay. But let's not worry about that. Let's not worry ourselves with that type of
17:18
nonsense. Let's worry about the woman's feelings that she might be stigmatized, or that there might
17:25
be a stigma in the ether somewhere that's affecting her decision in this moment. Good grief. Next one
17:31
here. We'll just keep going. So my head doesn't explode. I actually love the point that Albert
17:36
Mueller brought up Monday on his podcast. And it was this, the moment that society courts or the
17:41
public come to the realization that abortion is wrong for any reason, then that makes every
17:48
so-called reason for abortion unstable. I thought that was a really good point. Let me repeat it.
17:53
This isn't a direct quote. I'm just kind of summarizing the things that he said. But the moment that
17:56
society courts or the public, right? So all of us come to the realization that abortion is wrong
18:01
for any reason whatsoever, then that makes every other so-called reason for an abortion unstable.
18:07
So right here, people are like, okay, well, you know, abortion is wrong in the case of Down syndrome,
18:14
right? Well, if you accept that societally and legally and publicly, right, as a conglomerate or
18:23
as a group of people, right, that makes up America or a state or a province or something like that,
18:28
then we start asking ourselves, well, what about when the baby's at this stage of the
18:33
development? Or I don't really think it's right that a baby should be killed in the womb just because
18:37
the mother's a whore and doesn't know who she slept with and who the baby's father is. And she
18:41
doesn't want to go through that arduous process of figuring that out. Or she's a well-meaning person.
18:46
Maybe she's a single mom. She's got a bunch of deadbeats in her life. This is her third or fourth
18:51
kid. And she's thinking to herself, I just don't know if I can survive. What if we decide that
18:55
that's not a good thing? That's not a good enough reason to kill somebody. Even in the case of
19:00
rape and incest, which is talked about, which I've talked about as well, less than 1% of the listed
19:04
reasons for abortion. Why should the baby get the death penalty for the sins of the father?
19:09
We would never accept that in any other place within legal society. We wouldn't accept that in
19:14
our civilization. My father goes and kills somebody and I go to jail for it. Nobody would be okay
19:21
with that. But we're giving a baby an innocent third party the death penalty because their father
19:28
sinned. That's not acceptable. So I think the reason why we're seeing things like this article
19:34
and the things that people are saying on YouTube and basically on mainstream media sources about
19:38
the abortion issue is because if we start saying that certain types of abortions aren't acceptable
19:45
in our society, then that is the type of mindset that could ripple out and eventually consume
19:51
all abortion. Because if you're being reasonable, right, if you're operating with intellectual
19:56
integrity and honesty, you have to know that abortion for this reason is not that different
20:01
from abortion for that reason. Because even in this podcast, we talked about rape and incest,
20:05
you shouldn't kill the baby just because their father was a horrible person, right? You shouldn't
20:09
do that. But also there's never a medical necessity for an abortion, right? The physician should always
20:14
look at the mother and the baby and try to save both of them. And in most cases, or I won't say
20:19
most cases in cases, that's not always going to be possible to save them both. But as a physician,
20:24
you need to try to, you don't kill the baby so that you can start trying to save the mother.
20:28
Like that, that doesn't make a lot of sense. But we're going to go back to the article. We're
20:32
going to kind of get to the end of the article here. There's kind of an ending sentiment here.
20:35
And I'll go ahead and read it here. The Supreme Court evidently needs to underline a point
20:39
that should have been already, or should have already been clear. No matter what lawmakers may
20:43
think about a woman's reasons for attaining and obtaining an abortion, those reasons don't matter.
20:49
Okay, so let's just break down the very first part of that. The scotus, right? Supreme Court
20:54
of the United States evidently needs to underline a point. But wait a minute. Earlier in the article,
21:01
and some of you guys already caught this. Earlier in the article, it says, quote, the Supreme Court
21:05
guaranteed that right nearly 50 years ago in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade and was upheld,
21:10
and it was uphold, upheld in multiple times since then, unquote, right? So why would
21:16
they possibly need to underline something that has apparently been underlined many times already?
21:22
That doesn't make a lot of sense. You don't need to underline something that's been underlined
21:28
and underlined and underlined. There doesn't need to be an additional underline that doesn't do
21:31
anything. But then you have to kind of go a little bit further with that argument and say,
21:35
why are politicians like Joe Biden claiming that they're going to try to codify Roe v. Wade into law
21:44
to become the law of the land? You heard him and Kamala Harris say that on the campaign trail
21:49
before they were elected. And that's because Roe currently allows states to make at least
21:55
some restrictions, right? Low technically made it legal to offer abortion in all 50 states,
22:01
but it does also allow for the states to make their own restrictions based on their own
22:05
local thoughts and their own local legislatures, right? But Biden and the Democrats and the media,
22:12
which, you know, Democrats and the media, that's basically saying the same thing,
22:14
they want there to be no restrictions on abortion at all whatsoever. And they also want the American
22:20
taxpayer, most of you guys listening to this to foot the bill for it, right? Joe Biden has never
22:26
found an important issue that he hasn't flip flopped on, but he was against the Hyde Amendment,
22:30
or like he was he was for keeping the Hyde Amendment. And now he's against it. The Hyde Amendment
22:34
basically prevents federal funding going to pay for abortions. But at the same time, that doesn't
22:39
actually even matter. Because as as taxpayers, we already give hundreds of millions of dollars to
22:43
plan parenthood every year. They're like, Oh, yeah, well, that money's not earmarked for for abortion.
22:48
But it's all going in the same pot. Like if I've got a pot and there's 100 bucks in it and you say,
22:53
Hey, I'm going to give you 10 bucks, Kyle. But hey, Kyle, you cannot spend that that 10 bucks on
22:57
black tar heroin. You can't do it. I say, sure, I won't spend that $10 on black tar heroin. That's
23:03
great. I take your 10 bucks. Now I've got 110 bucks in my bucket or wherever I've got this money.
23:08
And then I go buy black tar heroin. Well, you would be within your rights to come back to me and be
23:12
like, Hey, hey, Kyle, I told you not to spend that money on black tar heroin. It's like, no, no, no,
23:15
no, I didn't spend your 10 bucks. I don't know what black tar heroin costs. Some of you guys are
23:19
like, Oh, that's not what it costs. But let's just assume it costs about that much. But I would just
23:22
say, Hey, I didn't spend that $10 on black tar heroin. I spent this $10. But it was still coming
23:29
from the same bucket. It's a ridiculous example. But I feel like you guys know what I mean. Like,
23:33
that's the thing here. We're already giving money to them. So people freaking out on my side freaking
23:37
out about the hide and admit it doesn't matter. We're already giving them hundreds of millions of
23:41
dollars and they're using it to kill babies. That's what they're doing. But let's get into the second
23:47
part of that quote there at the end. And it was this, no matter what lawmakers may think about a
23:51
woman's reasons for obtaining an abortion, those reasons don't matter. So to the head, I would say,
23:57
finally, finally, they are saying the quiet part out loud. They want abortion on demand.
24:07
They want it for any reason. And if you don't like it, shut up. They're finally saying it out loud.
24:14
I think they're emboldened now because they've got Biden in the White House. They have control of
24:20
the Senate and the and the House. And here we are. You can say bold things like that
24:26
when there's basically no repercussions. But guys, but here's the reality. Here's the reality,
24:32
and we're going to kind of bring this to a close. Republicans had control of the White House,
24:36
the Senate and the House of Representatives in 2017 and 2018. They could have defunded
24:42
Planned Parenthood completely and made huge strides to eradicating abortion. The odds of it
24:48
being eradicated completely in that two year span were almost infinitesimally small, like to,
24:54
as to the point does not even maybe mention it, but they didn't have the stones to do it.
24:57
Funding for Planned Parenthood technically went up during the four years that Donald Trump was
25:03
president, okay? And for two years, he could have done anything that he wanted because there were
25:09
basically no ramifications for him politically for two years, right? But then he lost the house
25:14
and has then lost the Senate and then basically lost his job. But now Democrats,
25:20
they have control of the White House and the Senate and the House of Representatives at least
25:26
for 2021 and 2022. And here's the scary part. They have no limiting principles.
25:33
They have no limiting morality to the things that they're willing to do right now.
25:39
They intend to, and they've essentially told us, and they told us even before the 2020 election
25:45
for president or Senate or whatever, that they want to fundamentally change
25:49
what the United States of America is as a country, okay? They want to change everything about it.
25:56
Now, we're only in the, we're only in a first few months into the Biden administration, okay?
26:03
He's got full congressional support and look at everything that's already changed.
26:06
Crisis still in the Southern border, the signaling that they're going to make changes on gun policies,
26:11
basically gun grabbing type of things, issues with, with abortion, issues with every main
26:17
issue that should be of importance to us as Americans, but certainly as Christian onlookers, okay?
26:24
And to think that they're not going to take tremendous strides to codifying Roe v. Wade is absurd.
26:31
They're obviously going to do that. They've already talked about trying to get rid of
26:34
the filibuster so that they could add states, right? They've talked about all these different
26:38
things. There's a lot of darkness that we're going to see coming in the next two years,
26:42
which is partially why we want you all to partner with us so that we can help you push back against
26:46
that. But since Roe v. Wade, 62 million children have been murdered in the womb so far.
26:54
62 million plus have been murdered since that decision.
26:57
About about a million more will be added to that number in 2021, okay?
27:02
And it's hard to really put those numbers into perspective. And that kind of like helps me
27:09
remember a quote. This is attributed to the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, but it's a single
27:14
death as a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. So for you guys listening to this right now,
27:21
I say 62 million dead and it's like, oh, that's horrible. That's really horrible.
27:25
Yeah, it's really, really horrible. It's a leading cause of death,
27:28
including warfare of any time in human history. I'm pretty sure my numbers are okay there, right?
27:37
We we talk about the six million Jews killed by the Nazi Germany and Hitler. We talk about
27:43
the tens of millions killed under Stalin. We talk about, you know, the tens of million killed under
27:47
Mao. We've killed 62 million children just in our country alone. And for what?
27:54
So women can have the quote unquote right to choose a 62 million people, you guys.
28:01
But we don't think of it in terms of the individual names that they would have been given by their
28:06
parents. We don't think about it in the individual contributions that they would have made to society
28:11
overall. We just look at that as this large conglomeration of 62 million. That's terrible.
28:15
I want you guys to think about what that number actually means. Okay, because we've got some very,
28:21
very dark days ahead. And every single day that passes by, a few more thousand kids are murdered
28:27
in this country legally. What are you going to do to stand in the in the breach? What are you
28:32
going to do to stand up against that darkness? We're going to continue to give you resources
28:37
and help you along that path. But I need you to be there with me. Our guys for let you go,
28:42
we are going to do a quick resilience, quick resilience boost rather. Add undaunted life. Our
28:46
mission is equipping men to push back darkness with content that for just spiritual mental and
28:50
physical resilience. So all I've got for you today is I've got the editorial right. It's called the
28:54
right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason. I want you guys to read that. I want
28:59
you guys to read other commentary, not just mine. And again, just as a reminder, I've still got the
29:04
the news up right here, the Derek Chauvin trial results or the verdict has not been read yet,
29:10
has been reached. So expect me to kind of come back after I've had some time to absorb everything
29:14
that that means. And we'll talk more about that. Guys, thanks so much for listening to this episode.
