This is Undaunted Life a Man's Podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:54
For you formed my inward parts. You knitted me together in my mother's womb.
0:58
I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. My soul knows
1:03
it very well. That is Psalm 139 verses 13 through 14. And guys, I'm very excited to bring this
1:08
message to you today because we've got some breaking news today, which definitely applies to that
1:12
scripture. But as a quick aside, we do have our t-shirts back in stock. We know a lot of guys
1:15
are trying to get some extra larges and some two X's here recently. They sold out again,
1:19
which was great. So we've got them on the way. So guys, if you want to go to our website,
1:22
undaunted.life/shop, you can pick up your pushback darkness t-shirt. But here guys,
1:27
we have some breaking great news. It has been a horrible news cycle for anyone that cares
1:32
about people, right? You know, what we've seen in Afghanistan, obviously, we've talked about it a
1:36
lot with the botching Afghanistan series. There's some things that have gone on even in my personal
1:40
life and my personal foxhole, which we'll get to hopefully to you guys by tomorrow. But today
1:44
is a great day. I can focus on today because at 1201 a.m. this morning, Wednesday, September the 1st
1:50
of 2021, the state of Texas made a huge declaration that the unborn matter. Okay. So I'm going to read
1:58
the short article from the breaking news section of live actions website. So here we go. As of midnight
2:03
of September the 1st of 2021, the US Supreme Court had not yet responded to an emergency appeal from
2:09
abortion proponents to stop the Texas heartbeat act from going into effect, which protects preborn
2:14
children from the first detectable heartbeat around five to six weeks gestation. According to the
2:19
Associated Press, at least 12 other states had previously passed legislation to protect children
2:23
at the same point in gestation. None had been allowed to go into full effect until now making
2:28
Texas the first state to successfully enforce such a law. Great day. Great day. News outlets
2:34
reported that abortion facilities in the state had stopped scheduling abortions past six weeks
2:39
or six weeks in advance of the September 1st effective date. The AP noted Planned Parenthood
2:45
is among the abortion providers that have stopped scheduling abortions beyond six weeks from conception.
2:50
That is amazing. But let's keep going. According to the emergency appeal, the law will quote
2:55
immediately and catastrophically reduce abortion access in Texas barring care for at least 85%
3:01
of Texas abortion patients, those who are six weeks pregnant or greater and likely forcing
3:06
many abortion clinics ultimately to close unquote, sad face. However, this estimate is not verifiable
3:13
because Texas abortion data lumps abortions at eight weeks or earlier together. Data from Texas
3:19
Health and Human Services shows that in 2020 there were 53,922 total abortions in Texas on Texas
3:25
residents of those 45,458 about 84 occurred eight weeks or less into the pregnancy. The Texas heartbeat
3:33
act does not restrict abortions based on gestational age, but on the detection of a fetal heartbeat
3:38
using whatever method the abortionist deems appropriate, which is important here in a second,
3:42
likely either an ultrasound or Doppler fetal heart rate monitor. According to the law, quote,
3:47
a physician does not violate this section. If the physician performed a test for a fetal heartbeat
3:52
as required and did not detect a fetal heartbeat, unquote, this makes it difficult to determine
3:57
how many abortions will be prevented, but it will likely be a large percentage, perhaps even
4:01
greater than 85% amen, amen, amen, amen. All right, the law is unique in that it allows for civil
4:07
penalties against those who commit or aid in a bet and abortion past a six week timeframe.
4:12
As live action news reported on in May, following the signing of the law, though the law does not
4:18
include punishments for women who undergo abortions after a heartbeat is detected in their child,
4:22
it does allow private citizens to file lawsuits against a doctor that commits an abortion on such
4:27
a child, as well as those who are involved in helping the woman to procure that abortion.
4:31
The abortion industry responded by labeling the civil action portion of the law as an abortion
4:36
bounty. A preborn child's heart begins to beat between 16 and 22 days after fertilization,
4:42
but a unique human life begins at the moment of fertilization. So that wraps up the story
4:46
from live action. So guys, a couple of quick reminders, because we've got to get into a lot of things
4:50
here. The first thing is, is abortion is not health care. That's not health care. Okay,
4:54
you're going to hear a lot of talk about health care and how we're denying women health care.
4:58
Okay, but if you want to play linguistic games, right, to those of you on the left,
5:02
I have one for you. It's not health care. It's death cause. If we can just make up stuff,
5:07
I'll make up a word death cause I've coined it here on this show. You heard it here first.
5:11
Also, another quick reminder, if you're a Christian and you're comfortable with abortion
5:16
for any reason, you need to check your conscience. I talked about on that episode a few weeks ago,
5:21
where I was talking about what was going on, going on at the University of Pittsburgh,
5:24
and how a lot of Christians have, you know, kind of eased their way into being okay with
5:28
abortion in the case of rape or incest or, or health issues with the mother. But the thing is,
5:33
is if you don't value that life from the moment of conception, you, you have a very, very seared
5:39
conscious in this area. I've talked about it a lot. So again, if you're a Christian and you're
5:42
comfortable with abortion for any reason, whatsoever, you need to check that. Okay.
5:46
But guys, this has been a great day for me to just smile and laugh because it hasn't been
5:50
happening a lot lately because of the new cycle and some other things going on. But I've got a
5:54
collection of some of my favorite tweets from the satanic left because they're losing their minds
6:00
this morning. They're absolutely losing it. And I am here for it. Okay. So I'm just going to run
6:04
these down real quick. So stand for better.org said this. The Texas Taliban, American Taliban,
6:10
has imposed a handmaid's tail style anti abortion law. And the Supreme Court scotus is letting it
6:17
ride. When we are we knew when RBG passed, Amy Coney Barrett would become Trump's mouthpiece
6:22
and assault on Roe v. Wade would begin. So I don't know, crimey river. Next one is Jay Black. And by
6:28
the way, I don't know who most of these people are. I'm just going to kind of read it off to you.
6:31
So this is what Jay Black said. The reason in cells that's involuntary celibates and insecure men
6:36
in wrap around sunglasses are drawn to the GOP is because conservative values is code for controlling
6:42
women. Texas's abortion law is has nothing to do with life. It is a message to angry broken men
6:47
that the GOP will give them power over women. Ooh, then that sounds crazy. The recount said this
6:53
MSNBC legal analyst Barb McQuaid says that the Texas abortion law, which allows private citizens
6:58
to sue anyone who assists in an abortion is diabolical and incentivizing bounty hunters. And
7:04
here's the thing. If that's what the bounty hunters get to do, sign me up. I'll do the dog,
7:09
the bounty hunter thing. I'll do the the crazy hair and the fake muscles and the glasses. I'll
7:13
do all of it. All right. Next one. Representative Barbara Lee, Texas's anti-abortion law will put
7:18
the health of millions in jeopardy. I'm going to read that again. Texas's anti-abortion law
7:25
will put the health of millions into jeopardy. I'm not sure she realizes how stupid that sentence is,
7:31
especially for low income people of color. Ooh, we're not going to be able to do what Margaret
7:36
Sanger wanted to do and kill as many black and brown people as possible. Okay, we will fight this
7:40
in Congress with every tool available, including passing the Women's Health Protection Act.
7:44
Great. MSNBC tweeted this. This is a quote from La Bassett. I don't know who that is.
7:48
The governor can call himself anti woman or pro birth, but he can't call himself pro life
7:53
when he and his state are recklessly trying to kill people.
7:57
Let's read that one again. The governor, the can call himself anti woman or pro birth,
8:04
but he can't call himself pro life when he and his state are recklessly trying to kill people.
8:10
Even though this law is trying to not kill people. God, I love it. Reverend Raphael Warnock,
8:15
who you dorks down in Georgia, seemingly felt was a good idea to bring into Congress. Hopefully
8:19
he's gone soon. He said this. The extreme abortion law in Texas is exactly why we need to keep a
8:25
Senate with the power to appoint Supreme Supreme Court justices that respect a woman's right to
8:30
choose. Again, this is a reverend. But as we know from the show, the idea of being a reverend
8:35
basically doesn't make you smart. It certainly doesn't make you a Christian either. Helen Kennedy
8:38
said this, this explainer on the diabolical news, Texas abortion law and why scotas probably can't
8:44
stop it is a must read. Texas is a sick, sick place. Gosh, the state of Texas, which is technically
8:51
an inanimate thing is sick, because it doesn't want babies to die. All right, I'm all here for it.
8:56
Let's keep going. Liz Power says this. MSNBC's Julia Ainsley notes how strict Texas's new abortion
9:02
law is quote, it means you can sue an Uber driver who drives someone to an abortion clinic.
9:07
These are laws stricter than what we have in place for someone who would drive someone who
9:12
is about to commit an act of terrorism. Unquote. Well, they are driving the people to get a murder,
9:18
but let's not pretend like Uber drivers are just going to be accidentally sued for this.
9:21
And then the last one here that I'll go into is Glenn Kirschner, whoever that is, the Supreme
9:26
Court refuses to stop a Texas abortion law from going into effect. The law directly violates the
9:31
precedent of Roe v. Wade. Scotas just signaled state governments that they no longer need to obey
9:37
Supreme Court precedent. What's next, Texas, separate but equal schools? Interesting thing about this.
9:43
Leftists are the ones that are segregating people now. It's leftist ideology that is putting black
9:49
people in one section of the school so they feel more comfortable and white people in a different
9:53
section of the school. I'm not sure this guy realizes that now this last one here that I am
9:56
going to share. I said that that was the last one, but this is the last one. This guy's not a leftist,
10:00
or if he is, I don't know that he is, but this is just darkly funny. This is a blue checkmark
10:03
guy named Josh, Josh Denny, whoever that is, he said, just thought I'd point out that most of the
10:08
women furious over this Texas abortion law think the worst part of Afghanistan was leaving behind
10:14
some dogs. Boy, do we have very different hierarchy on the value of life? Now, that was something that
10:21
you may not have heard of. But yesterday, there was an uproar that a lot of our service dogs,
10:25
right? That we're left over there in Afghanistan. These dogs that we spent tens of thousands of
10:30
dollars training, these Malinois and these German shepherds were basically left over there. These
10:34
were the dogs that were helping the Marines and the seals and other speck up guys digger things
10:41
out and to help them and do what they do. We're going to have Mike Ritlin on here in a few weeks or
10:46
months to talk more about that. But people were furious that these dogs were left behind.
10:50
Now, I'm not happy that the dogs were left behind by any stretch of the imagination,
10:54
but these people are not concerned about the babies that were left behind. The Americans that
11:01
were left behind, the White House doesn't even know how many were left behind. But I do like that
11:06
this guy points out. We're so concerned about these dogs, but we're not concerned about babies
11:10
in the womb in Texas or babies that were left overseas or anyone that was left overseas.
11:13
So I want to transition now to talk about this because yes, I am very, very happy about this,
11:17
but here's the thing. This is good, but it's not good enough. I'm let me just kind of back up a
11:23
little bit. I'm not going to be one of those people that is for full decriminalization or full
11:28
criminalization, rather, that isn't going to be satisfied with this. Isn't going to be happy with
11:32
this because there's a, there's a reality here that the reports are that 85 to 90 percent of babies
11:37
that are currently being murdered in the womb in Texas, that that's not going to happen anymore,
11:41
right? So it's after the heartbeat is detected now and that it can be detected as early as five
11:46
weeks, right? So that is a very, very good thing. Tens of thousands of babies just in the state of
11:51
Texas are going to be saved every single year. Okay. But this does beg the question, what about the
11:57
other 10 to 15 percent of the babies? Because they matter to, because these are babies whose
12:03
lives are being snuffed out before they've had an opportunity to basically say, Hey, I'd prefer
12:08
not to be killed here. Can we please not rip me apart limb from limb, right? Because I can feel
12:13
that I can feel pain. Can we not do that please? They don't have a voice when they're in the womb,
12:17
right? So this is a thing I think we need, obviously, full criminalization of abortion for every cause,
12:24
which I know sounds super extreme. But again, if I showed you two ultrasounds, one right next to
12:29
the other, and one is the result of an incestuous rape, and one is the result of a happy suburban
12:35
family that's having their second child, you're not going to be able to tell the difference.
12:38
We cannot kill people because of the crimes that their father's committed, right? And this whole
12:44
idea that a baby needs to be killed in the womb if the mother's health is in danger. Again, that is
12:49
completely bogus, right? Because the doctors are trying to conserve life. And so if there is
12:56
something that's going on with the mother and they need to do something to try and save her life,
12:59
they should also try and save the life of the baby. You don't automatically save the mother's
13:03
life by killing the baby, right? You do what you can to save both lives. And if in the process,
13:08
the baby passes away and the mom doesn't, that's not an abortion because you've attempted to save
13:12
them both, okay? But here's a few things as we wrap up. This will be a short one today, but
13:16
you need to be on the lookout for a lot of things, right? Because this is not going to end here by
13:21
any stretch of the imagination. So here's some things to look out for. There will be major lawsuits
13:26
here, major. I know that the Supreme Court didn't act on this emergency request to stop this law,
13:31
but that's not where it's going to end, okay? The left has to keep their sacrament, a baby
13:37
sacrifice. They have to. Like this is their holy grail of all things. This is not over by a
13:43
long shot, okay? You've already got the ACLU signaling that this, this is not going to be right,
13:48
and you're going to have other states get involved. You're going to have celebrities get involved.
13:50
There's going to be such major lawsuits. This is not over at all. Next thing,
13:54
we are going to start to hear anecdotal stories about the plights of women that have to drive
14:01
hundreds of miles to kill their children and how this is somehow this inconvenience should
14:07
matter to us. Like, oh my gosh, she had to drive from central Texas to another state to murder your
14:13
baby. Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry you had to do that. Can I help you? Can I help
14:18
you in some way? Can I help pay for your gas? But we're going to start hearing those sob stories,
14:22
but also we're likely going to see stories that are sensationalized to say that women
14:27
almost or did lose their lives because of this law, right? You're already seeing those dorks on
14:31
Twitter, you know, pointing towards that like, Oh, this is going to put millions of women's lives
14:35
in danger, you know, except for the millions of little baby women that are going to be in the womb
14:39
that aren't going to be killed anymore. We're not worried about those women. But again,
14:41
we're going to see these stories, these one-off stories of this person that supposedly had a
14:46
health issue. And yes, I'm saying supposedly because I'm completely cynical and skeptical about
14:50
all of those stories that are going to be coming out about this woman who, if she could have just
14:55
driven to the abortion clinic in her neighborhood and killed her baby that she would be alive today.
14:59
So be ready for that. Also, satanic organizations like Planned Parenthood,
15:04
they will start to get really, and I mean, really good at not finding heartbeats.
15:11
So for any of you guys that have been in an ultrasound with your lady,
15:15
sometimes, depending upon the ultrasound person, they have a hard time finding the heartbeat,
15:20
especially early on in the pregnancy, right? Sometimes they even have to bring in someone else,
15:24
maybe a manager or maybe someone else from the office to kind of help them because they're just
15:27
having trouble finding it. I see nothing in this law. I see nothing in the language of this law
15:33
that says that there is going to be a neutral third party there to make sure that the Planned
15:36
Parenthood person isn't just going to be like, whoop, didn't find it. Whoop, can't find the heartbeat.
15:41
I guess we need to kill it. I know that sounds crazy for me to say, but this is Planned Parenthood's
15:47
biggest money-gatherer. This is how they make the majority of their revenue. It's off abortions.
15:53
It's not off pap smears. It's not off mammograms. It's not off any of those things. It's off baby
15:58
murder. Okay. And so they're going to do everything they can to protect their sacred cow. They're
16:05
going to do everything they can because this is the golden goose for them, right? In the state of
16:09
Texas is a huge state. There's a again, over 50,000 abortions just took place in the state of Texas
16:16
of the nearly 900,000 that took place in America last year. That is a lot. That's a huge share of
16:21
abortions. And a lot of those took place in a Planned Parenthood. Okay. So let's not think that
16:26
this is going to be over. They're going to start instructing their people that, Hey, it's your job
16:30
to not find the heartbeat. Because again, we're leaving it up to the abortionist, which has a job,
16:36
which is predicated on killing babies. We're leaving it up to them to to find the heartbeat,
16:42
right? Just think about that. That's going to be a big deal. Also, we will see the abortion pill
16:48
industry absolutely explode after this. So things like my forpristone, my some pro stall, you know,
16:53
we've got the plan B pill, but now they're talking about plan C. I went on and did a quick Google search.
16:58
You can order an abortion pill online. Find a provider in your area and we'll make sure it gets
17:03
to you from all these women's organizations that are just really big on killing women, apparently,
17:07
right? And men. But that's the thing that's going to be so big here and so nefarious is we're going
17:12
to see some of the counterfactuals, right? So you may not be able to come right at this law,
17:16
but you're going to be able to do things on the edges. And so a lot of these women that want to
17:19
get abortions, they're just going to start taking abortion pills. Abortion pills are going to expand
17:23
and become more accessible. I even saw one website that says it's safer than Tylenol.
17:28
I mean, obviously not for the baby, but it's safer than Tylenol. Just pop it in. You poop out
17:32
the baby. No big deal, right? It's no big deal, but the abortion pill industry will explode. So
17:37
if you like being satanic, I would probably invest in those companies right now, right? Obviously,
17:42
I don't want you to do that. For some of you, you don't understand my sarcasm. Super, super duper
17:46
amounts of sarcasm there. Next thing, other red states. And yes, it will only be red states.
17:52
We'll look at this law as a map to get this done in their states as well. And I'm personally calling
17:57
on Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt to get this done and more. I want full criminalization. And I know
18:02
there's people right now in my state that are working towards the full criminalization of this,
18:07
right? But here's the other thing. Get ready for the calls to expand the Supreme Court.
18:12
Oh, get ready. Because everyone on the left, they've wanted to push for this, right? And Joe Biden
18:18
has to do everything he can to get away from this news cycle. I mean, everything he can to get
18:23
away from this news cycle. Because this news cycle is not going to go away with Afghanistan.
18:27
And the Republicans, you know, rightfully are going to pound him on this all the way through
18:31
the midterms next year, but also the next election that's already, you know, it's over three years
18:35
away. Okay, but you just got to be ready for those calls because people are going to be like,
18:40
okay, you know, with Amy Coney Barrett, who's obviously she's the, you know, the great Satan of
18:44
the left now, but these individuals, this is the only way they know how to get power is by fiat,
18:49
because they know they can't vote because the overwhelming majority of people in America aren't
18:53
going to be great after they know what kind of happens with the abortion industry and also just
18:57
with the procedure of an abortion. So we just need to snack the Supreme Court so we can just
19:00
get rid of laws like this, right? Here's the other thing. You will be called a sexist,
19:05
a misogynist, a racist, and a diabolically evil person for supporting this. Okay. So if you express
19:13
any happiness over this fact, you will be called all of those things. And this is my encouragement
19:19
to you. Where that badge proudly. So if someone's like, you want babies not to be killed in the womb,
19:29
use sexist massages. Don't you know that women of color are going to be disproportionately
19:33
affected by this? How dare you be so evil, blah, blah? Thank you. You're right. I care about life
19:42
so much that when I see a law passed by a party that has been somewhat feckless in this area,
19:49
the Republican Party, I love that that happened. I wish I lived in the state of Texas just so I
19:55
could wave that flag without any irony, right? I just I love it. If I had a Texas flag, it'd be
20:00
hanging behind me right now, right? Just wear it proudly. Because again, do not let people
20:06
that are pro baby murder categorize you as anything other than moral for being anti baby murder.
20:13
That is the biggest encouragement that I can give to you. But also a little call to action
20:17
before we get to the end here. I've been reached out to by a lot of people that live in blue states
20:21
about this COVID-19 about the mass demand dates. And you know, hopefully we can get to that topic
20:25
here soon. But a lot of you live in red states that have governors that are willing to do this.
20:30
Obviously this has been tried in other states. It's just never gotten all the way through. So we're
20:34
going to see some states do that. But make sure that you're voting for people that will support
20:40
laws like this that will create pathways for laws like this. Elections have consequences.
20:46
No one knows that more right now than the Afghan people, right? Elections have consequences.
20:51
And everything that happens is downstream of your ballot that you cast. Okay. So cast it for people
20:57
better for life. All right, guys, we're going to do a quick resilience boost before we let you go
