Full transcript
- 0:00well today we are going to go through
- 0:01some of the most convincing arguments on
- 0:04behalf of abortion advocates and we are
- 0:06going to talk about them suffice it to
- 0:08say they're not all that convincing they
- 0:09come from some of our most prominent
- 0:11people people like billy eilish a very
- 0:13convincing figure in the history of
- 0:16modern ethics we'll go through all of
- 0:17these arguments and yeah we'll see how
- 0:20that goes for them this video is
- 0:22sponsored by naturally it's clean
- 0:24unknown
- 0:26different people will interpret their
- 0:28own moral lights and for that matter
- 0:30interpret scripture differently but we
- 0:32live in a country where it is extremely
- 0:34important that no one person have to be
- 0:37subjected to some other person's
- 0:39interpretation of their own religion my
- 0:41point is that it shouldn't be up to a
- 0:43government official to draw the line it
- 0:45should be up to the woman who's
- 0:47confronted with the court if this is a
- 0:48late term situation then by definition
- 0:51it's one where a woman was expecting to
- 0:54carry the pregnancy to term then she
- 0:55gets the most perhaps devastating news
- 0:58of her life i don't know what to tell
- 1:00them
- 1:02morally about what they should do just
- 1:04know that
- 1:05i trust her and her decision medically
- 1:08or morally isn't going to be any better
- 1:10because the government is commanding her
- 1:11to do it in a certain way
- 1:12the consequences to these particular
- 1:14philosophies that that basically
- 1:17killing a baby in the ninth month
- 1:19because
- 1:20life is very difficult and there are bad
- 1:22choices killing a baby is now okay and
- 1:23the government has nothing to say about
- 1:25it this is from the same guy
- 1:27who believes
- 1:28that basically everything in american
- 1:30life should be regulated down to the
- 1:32emissions on your cars
- 1:34when it comes to can people kill babies
- 1:37in the ninth month he's like you know
- 1:38hands off here man hands off because
- 1:40after all these are tough decisions
- 1:42pretty amazing also i love when we get
- 1:43pastor pete pastor peter is my favorite
- 1:45version of pete booty judge the one who
- 1:47cites the bible because he's such a
- 1:48bible expert and he's going to lecture
- 1:50all of us who have traditionally
- 1:52read the bible you know like the text of
- 1:54the bible and taking it pretty seriously
- 1:56but he takes it super seriously by
- 1:57ignoring broad swaths of it and then
- 1:59declaring that it's up to a woman to
- 2:00kill a baby whenever she pleases in some
- 2:02of my work i defend a liberal position
- 2:05about early abortion so i defend the
- 2:08view that there's nothing morally bad
- 2:10about early abortion so a lot of people
- 2:12think well it's permissible to have an
- 2:14abortion but something bad happens when
- 2:16the fetus dies
- 2:17and i think if a fetus hasn't ever been
- 2:20conscious it hasn't ever had any
- 2:21experiences and we aborted at that stage
- 2:24that actually nothing morally bad
- 2:25happens what i think is that actually
- 2:28among early fetuses there are two very
- 2:31different kinds of beings so james when
- 2:34you were an early fetus and elliot when
- 2:36you were an early fetus all of us
- 2:39i think that we already did have moral
- 2:41status then but we had moral status in
- 2:44virtue of our futures in future of the
- 2:46fact that we were the beginning stages
- 2:48of persons but some early fetuses will
- 2:51die in early in pregnancy either due to
- 2:54abortion or miscarriage and in my view
- 2:57that's a very different kind of entity
- 2:58that's something that doesn't have a
- 3:00future as a person and it doesn't wow
- 3:02status wow that is a time travel
- 3:06argument right there
- 3:08you know i'm too often here the time
- 3:09travel argument for abortion i will say
- 3:11that the graphic there of the baby
- 3:12disappearing into nothing she's like
- 3:14this means nothing and the baby
- 3:15disappears into nothing and your heart
- 3:16kind of goes uh-huh the argument that
- 3:18she is making right there is that if you
- 3:20are born
- 3:22this means retroactively you had value
- 3:23as a fetus but if you were never born
- 3:26you had no value as a fetus so if i
- 3:28present to you a fetus today you do not
- 3:31know whether it will be born you do not
- 3:33know whether it will live to be 30 or 70
- 3:36you don't know whether it will be hit by
- 3:38a car when it's two years old or whether
- 3:39it will die in childbirth you don't know
- 3:41any of those things because you don't
- 3:42know any of those things it has no moral
- 3:44status but it would have retroactively
- 3:46had moral status if you could go back in
- 3:48a time machine
- 3:49from now
- 3:50to 30 years ago when you were a fetus
- 3:53then you had moral status
- 3:54or alternatively you're just speaking
- 3:56absolute gobbledygook because
- 3:58that's crazy it makes no damn sense
- 4:01either the fetus has moral status or
- 4:03does not have moral status and the moral
- 4:04status of the fetus is not dependent on
- 4:06going 30 years into the future to see
- 4:08what happens to the baby especially when
- 4:09the killing that you are doing is
- 4:10happening right now also i love how she
- 4:12just conflates miscarriage and abortion
- 4:14as though these are the same thing the
- 4:15spontaneous abortion of a fetus by the
- 4:17human body is not the same thing as you
- 4:19deliberately killing a healthy human
- 4:21being in your womb not the same thing at
- 4:23all and any attempt to conflate the two
- 4:24is just morally idiotic we'll get to

- 5:36ben
- 5:42hi
- 5:44i am so
- 5:48sick and tired
- 5:50of old men
- 5:52so i feel like she's sick and tired of
- 5:53everything this one
- 5:56men in general
- 5:57sorry
- 5:59but old one what a delight
- 6:02this person is she seems happy
- 6:04shut the up about our bodies
- 6:08oh my god
- 6:12shut up
- 6:17these people seem to live such happy
- 6:19fulfilled lives in their ideology to be
- 6:21honest with you
- 6:25that
- 6:27when they made to the law
- 6:30i almost didn't want to do this show so
- 6:34because i wanted to punish this in place
- 6:37for allowing that to happen here
- 6:41but then
- 6:43i remembered that it's you guys that are
- 6:46victims and you deserve
- 6:49everything in the world if you can't
- 6:50kill your unborn babies you're a victim
- 6:52and we need to tell them to shut the
- 6:54up she's a genius
- 6:57wow a happy fulfilled genius do this
- 7:04wow
- 7:05and with that middle finger my body my
- 7:08choice
- 7:12honestly
- 7:14they're like four-year-old children
- 7:16four-year-old children people who think
- 7:17like this uh
- 7:18what unpleasant humans seriously does
- 7:21that seem like a happy pleasant human a
- 7:22person whose lifestyle you'd wish to
- 7:24emulate i feel like that's worth asking
- 7:26at some points because the left offers
- 7:28the notion that you're going to be
- 7:29completely fulfilled if you if you
- 7:31vitiate every duty if you eviscerate
- 7:34every basic human decency you will live
- 7:36a more happy fulfilled and free life
- 7:39does this look happy fulfilled and free
- 7:40to you
- 7:41seriously
- 7:42if it does by all means
- 7:44engage this does not seem like the kind
- 7:47of life that any healthy person would
- 7:49want to have is the kind of life where
- 7:50you walk around flipping people off in
- 7:52the crowd saying the word over and over
- 7:54while being immensely depressed and
- 7:55immensely wealthy
- 7:56man when people do this routine like i'm
- 7:59so sick and tired of people telling me
- 8:01what to do with my body i'm so sick and
- 8:04tired of people again just ignoring the
- 8:07presence of the other person involved in
- 8:09this equation is the way that you get to
- 8:11this because the minute that you
- 8:12acknowledge there's another person
- 8:13involved in this equation
- 8:15her talk sounds a lot more like john c
- 8:17calhoun than it does like female
- 8:18empowerment by the way this is what the
- 8:20pro abortion movement will argue that if
- 8:21you don't feel that it's a child it's
- 8:23not a child in the same way that if you
- 8:24feel like you're a woman you're a woman
- 8:26if you feel like you're a man you're a
- 8:27man if you don't feel like this is a
- 8:28child then it's not a child if you don't
- 8:30feel like somebody else has moral worth
- 8:31they don't have moral worth it turns out
- 8:33that your narcissistic navel gazing
- 8:36sense of
- 8:37self-preoccupation has really ugly
- 8:39consequences for other human beings who
- 8:41do exist in the real world i'm scarlett
- 8:43johansson and i support planned
- 8:44parenthood the woman's right to choose
- 8:46is a very personal one and it should not
- 8:48be a political issue it's so important
- 8:51to
- 8:52stand behind planned parenthood and
- 8:54support them my mom growing up always
- 8:56said to me she was like you know you
- 8:59you got to do it yourself like nobody's
- 9:00going to do it for you women are
- 9:03our own best advocates so i think it's
- 9:06important for women to stand up for
- 9:07women it's important for women to
- 9:09support women and it's important for
- 9:12women to represent women
- 9:15okay i noticed that there was one word
- 9:17that did not appear anywhere in there
- 9:18and that is abortion did you notice that
- 9:20in that funny the way those things
- 9:22happen it's important for women to
- 9:23support women
- 9:25it's important for everybody to support
- 9:26women it's also important for everybody
- 9:27to support babies
- 9:28you know women are their own best
- 9:29advocates well actually it turns out
- 9:31that women are sometimes their best
- 9:32advocates and sometimes men are women's
- 9:34best advocates and sometimes women are
- 9:35men's best advocates and okay fine all
- 9:38of that's fine planned parenthood is not
- 9:40a female advocacy organization it's an
- 9:41abortion mill planned parenthood
- 9:42performs hundreds of thousands of
- 9:43abortions every year that is what
- 9:44they're there to do they're a medical
- 9:46organization that performs abortions
- 9:48period this is where their money is this
- 9:49is where the donations go the pretend
- 9:51nonsense where planned parenthood is
- 9:53some sort of like what women's wage
- 9:55advocacy organization or an anti-sexual
- 9:58harassment organization
- 9:59all the euphemisms left has to use with
- 10:01regard to the termination of the unborn
- 10:03which itself is a euphemism with regard
- 10:04to the killing of the unborn all the
- 10:06euphemisms termination abortion planned
- 10:09parenthood all of this stuff just
- 10:10demonstrates they don't want to talk
- 10:12about the issue because when they talk
- 10:12about the issue people immediately get
- 10:14uncomfortable and they get uncomfortable
- 10:15because deep down in the human soul
- 10:17something knows that there is something
- 10:18deeply wrong with a society that allows
- 10:20the killing of one million unborn
- 10:22children every year out of a perverse
- 10:24sense of authenticity and entitlement
- 10:26scarlett johansson i will notice that
- 10:28that there is
- 10:29a peculiar oddity when it comes to
- 10:31feminist thought these days which is
- 10:32that apparently abortion is all about
- 10:35female empowerment but also men can have
- 10:36babies they never quite explain why it's
- 10:38female empowerment abortion when it
- 10:40turns out that you cannot characterize a
- 10:42woman in any biological way that a man
- 10:44can be a woman and a woman can be a man
- 10:46so what does abortion have to do with
- 10:48women's rights why isn't it uterine
- 10:50rights or baby bag rights or whatever
- 10:52they wish to call it birthing people
- 10:54rights vagina holders rights like it's
- 10:56just
- 10:57these people are they're they're silly
- 11:00and they're illogical and they don't
- 11:01have any good arguments to to bring to
- 11:04bear with regards to these issues and so
- 11:06it's all just emotional appeals and
- 11:08teenage flipping off of crowds and
- 11:11shouting the f word facts
