  1. 0:00well today we are going to go through
  2. 0:01some of the most convincing arguments on
  3. 0:04behalf of abortion advocates and we are
  4. 0:06going to talk about them suffice it to
  5. 0:08say they're not all that convincing they
  6. 0:09come from some of our most prominent
  7. 0:11people people like billy eilish a very
  8. 0:13convincing figure in the history of
  9. 0:16modern ethics we'll go through all of
  10. 0:17these arguments and yeah we'll see how
  11. 0:20that goes for them this video is
  12. 0:22sponsored by naturally it's clean
  13. 0:24unknown
  14. 0:26different people will interpret their
  15. 0:28own moral lights and for that matter
  16. 0:30interpret scripture differently but we
  17. 0:32live in a country where it is extremely
  18. 0:34important that no one person have to be
  19. 0:37subjected to some other person's
  20. 0:39interpretation of their own religion my
  21. 0:41point is that it shouldn't be up to a
  22. 0:43government official to draw the line it
  23. 0:45should be up to the woman who's
  24. 0:47confronted with the court if this is a
  25. 0:48late term situation then by definition
  26. 0:51it's one where a woman was expecting to
  27. 0:54carry the pregnancy to term then she
  28. 0:55gets the most perhaps devastating news
  29. 0:58of her life i don't know what to tell
  30. 1:00them
  31. 1:02morally about what they should do just
  32. 1:04know that
  33. 1:05i trust her and her decision medically
  34. 1:08or morally isn't going to be any better
  35. 1:10because the government is commanding her
  36. 1:11to do it in a certain way
  37. 1:12the consequences to these particular
  38. 1:14philosophies that that basically
  39. 1:17killing a baby in the ninth month
  40. 1:19because
  41. 1:20life is very difficult and there are bad
  42. 1:22choices killing a baby is now okay and
  43. 1:23the government has nothing to say about
  44. 1:25it this is from the same guy
  45. 1:27who believes
  46. 1:28that basically everything in american
  47. 1:30life should be regulated down to the
  48. 1:32emissions on your cars
  49. 1:34when it comes to can people kill babies
  50. 1:37in the ninth month he's like you know
  51. 1:38hands off here man hands off because
  52. 1:40after all these are tough decisions
  53. 1:42pretty amazing also i love when we get
  54. 1:43pastor pete pastor peter is my favorite
  55. 1:45version of pete booty judge the one who
  56. 1:47cites the bible because he's such a
  57. 1:48bible expert and he's going to lecture
  58. 1:50all of us who have traditionally
  59. 1:52read the bible you know like the text of
  60. 1:54the bible and taking it pretty seriously
  61. 1:56but he takes it super seriously by
  62. 1:57ignoring broad swaths of it and then
  63. 1:59declaring that it's up to a woman to
  64. 2:00kill a baby whenever she pleases in some
  65. 2:02of my work i defend a liberal position
  66. 2:05about early abortion so i defend the
  67. 2:08view that there's nothing morally bad
  68. 2:10about early abortion so a lot of people
  69. 2:12think well it's permissible to have an
  70. 2:14abortion but something bad happens when
  71. 2:16the fetus dies
  72. 2:17and i think if a fetus hasn't ever been
  73. 2:20conscious it hasn't ever had any
  74. 2:21experiences and we aborted at that stage
  75. 2:24that actually nothing morally bad
  76. 2:25happens what i think is that actually
  77. 2:28among early fetuses there are two very
  78. 2:31different kinds of beings so james when
  79. 2:34you were an early fetus and elliot when
  80. 2:36you were an early fetus all of us
  81. 2:39i think that we already did have moral
  82. 2:41status then but we had moral status in
  83. 2:44virtue of our futures in future of the
  84. 2:46fact that we were the beginning stages
  85. 2:48of persons but some early fetuses will
  86. 2:51die in early in pregnancy either due to
  87. 2:54abortion or miscarriage and in my view
  88. 2:57that's a very different kind of entity
  89. 2:58that's something that doesn't have a
  90. 3:00future as a person and it doesn't wow
  91. 3:02status wow that is a time travel
  92. 3:06argument right there
  93. 3:08you know i'm too often here the time
  94. 3:09travel argument for abortion i will say
  95. 3:11that the graphic there of the baby
  96. 3:12disappearing into nothing she's like
  97. 3:14this means nothing and the baby
  98. 3:15disappears into nothing and your heart
  99. 3:16kind of goes uh-huh the argument that
  100. 3:18she is making right there is that if you
  101. 3:20are born
  102. 3:22this means retroactively you had value
  103. 3:23as a fetus but if you were never born
  104. 3:26you had no value as a fetus so if i
  105. 3:28present to you a fetus today you do not
  106. 3:31know whether it will be born you do not
  107. 3:33know whether it will live to be 30 or 70
  108. 3:36you don't know whether it will be hit by
  109. 3:38a car when it's two years old or whether
  110. 3:39it will die in childbirth you don't know
  111. 3:41any of those things because you don't
  112. 3:42know any of those things it has no moral
  113. 3:44status but it would have retroactively
  114. 3:46had moral status if you could go back in
  115. 3:48a time machine
  116. 3:49from now
  117. 3:50to 30 years ago when you were a fetus
  118. 3:53then you had moral status
  119. 3:54or alternatively you're just speaking
  120. 3:56absolute gobbledygook because
  121. 3:58that's crazy it makes no damn sense
  122. 4:01either the fetus has moral status or
  123. 4:03does not have moral status and the moral
  124. 4:04status of the fetus is not dependent on
  125. 4:06going 30 years into the future to see
  126. 4:08what happens to the baby especially when
  127. 4:09the killing that you are doing is
  128. 4:10happening right now also i love how she
  129. 4:12just conflates miscarriage and abortion
  130. 4:14as though these are the same thing the
  131. 4:15spontaneous abortion of a fetus by the
  132. 4:17human body is not the same thing as you
  133. 4:19deliberately killing a healthy human
  134. 4:21being in your womb not the same thing at
  135. 4:23all and any attempt to conflate the two
  136. 4:24is just morally idiotic we'll get to

  177. 5:36ben
  178. 5:42hi
  179. 5:44i am so
  180. 5:48sick and tired
  181. 5:50of old men
  182. 5:52so i feel like she's sick and tired of
  183. 5:53everything this one
  184. 5:56men in general
  185. 5:57sorry
  186. 5:59but old one what a delight
  187. 6:02this person is she seems happy
  188. 6:04shut the up about our bodies
  189. 6:08oh my god
  190. 6:12shut up
  191. 6:17these people seem to live such happy
  192. 6:19fulfilled lives in their ideology to be
  193. 6:21honest with you
  194. 6:25that
  195. 6:27when they made to the law
  196. 6:30i almost didn't want to do this show so
  197. 6:34because i wanted to punish this in place
  198. 6:37for allowing that to happen here
  199. 6:41but then
  200. 6:43i remembered that it's you guys that are
  201. 6:46victims and you deserve
  202. 6:49everything in the world if you can't
  203. 6:50kill your unborn babies you're a victim
  204. 6:52and we need to tell them to shut the
  205. 6:54up she's a genius
  206. 6:57wow a happy fulfilled genius do this
  207. 7:04wow
  208. 7:05and with that middle finger my body my
  209. 7:08choice
  210. 7:12honestly
  211. 7:14they're like four-year-old children
  212. 7:16four-year-old children people who think
  213. 7:17like this uh
  214. 7:18what unpleasant humans seriously does
  215. 7:21that seem like a happy pleasant human a
  216. 7:22person whose lifestyle you'd wish to
  217. 7:24emulate i feel like that's worth asking
  218. 7:26at some points because the left offers
  219. 7:28the notion that you're going to be
  220. 7:29completely fulfilled if you if you
  221. 7:31vitiate every duty if you eviscerate
  222. 7:34every basic human decency you will live
  223. 7:36a more happy fulfilled and free life
  224. 7:39does this look happy fulfilled and free
  225. 7:40to you
  226. 7:41seriously
  227. 7:42if it does by all means
  228. 7:44engage this does not seem like the kind
  229. 7:47of life that any healthy person would
  230. 7:49want to have is the kind of life where
  231. 7:50you walk around flipping people off in
  232. 7:52the crowd saying the word over and over
  233. 7:54while being immensely depressed and
  234. 7:55immensely wealthy
  235. 7:56man when people do this routine like i'm
  236. 7:59so sick and tired of people telling me
  237. 8:01what to do with my body i'm so sick and
  238. 8:04tired of people again just ignoring the
  239. 8:07presence of the other person involved in
  240. 8:09this equation is the way that you get to
  241. 8:11this because the minute that you
  242. 8:12acknowledge there's another person
  243. 8:13involved in this equation
  244. 8:15her talk sounds a lot more like john c
  245. 8:17calhoun than it does like female
  246. 8:18empowerment by the way this is what the
  247. 8:20pro abortion movement will argue that if
  248. 8:21you don't feel that it's a child it's
  249. 8:23not a child in the same way that if you
  250. 8:24feel like you're a woman you're a woman
  251. 8:26if you feel like you're a man you're a
  252. 8:27man if you don't feel like this is a
  253. 8:28child then it's not a child if you don't
  254. 8:30feel like somebody else has moral worth
  255. 8:31they don't have moral worth it turns out
  256. 8:33that your narcissistic navel gazing
  257. 8:36sense of
  258. 8:37self-preoccupation has really ugly
  259. 8:39consequences for other human beings who
  260. 8:41do exist in the real world i'm scarlett
  261. 8:43johansson and i support planned
  262. 8:44parenthood the woman's right to choose
  263. 8:46is a very personal one and it should not
  264. 8:48be a political issue it's so important
  265. 8:51to
  266. 8:52stand behind planned parenthood and
  267. 8:54support them my mom growing up always
  268. 8:56said to me she was like you know you
  269. 8:59you got to do it yourself like nobody's
  270. 9:00going to do it for you women are
  271. 9:03our own best advocates so i think it's
  272. 9:06important for women to stand up for
  273. 9:07women it's important for women to
  274. 9:09support women and it's important for
  275. 9:12women to represent women
  276. 9:15okay i noticed that there was one word
  277. 9:17that did not appear anywhere in there
  278. 9:18and that is abortion did you notice that
  279. 9:20in that funny the way those things
  280. 9:22happen it's important for women to
  281. 9:23support women
  282. 9:25it's important for everybody to support
  283. 9:26women it's also important for everybody
  284. 9:27to support babies
  285. 9:28you know women are their own best
  286. 9:29advocates well actually it turns out
  287. 9:31that women are sometimes their best
  288. 9:32advocates and sometimes men are women's
  289. 9:34best advocates and sometimes women are
  290. 9:35men's best advocates and okay fine all
  291. 9:38of that's fine planned parenthood is not
  292. 9:40a female advocacy organization it's an
  293. 9:41abortion mill planned parenthood
  294. 9:42performs hundreds of thousands of
  295. 9:43abortions every year that is what
  296. 9:44they're there to do they're a medical
  297. 9:46organization that performs abortions
  298. 9:48period this is where their money is this
  299. 9:49is where the donations go the pretend
  300. 9:51nonsense where planned parenthood is
  301. 9:53some sort of like what women's wage
  302. 9:55advocacy organization or an anti-sexual
  303. 9:58harassment organization
  304. 9:59all the euphemisms left has to use with
  305. 10:01regard to the termination of the unborn
  306. 10:03which itself is a euphemism with regard
  307. 10:04to the killing of the unborn all the
  308. 10:06euphemisms termination abortion planned
  309. 10:09parenthood all of this stuff just
  310. 10:10demonstrates they don't want to talk
  311. 10:12about the issue because when they talk
  312. 10:12about the issue people immediately get
  313. 10:14uncomfortable and they get uncomfortable
  314. 10:15because deep down in the human soul
  315. 10:17something knows that there is something
  316. 10:18deeply wrong with a society that allows
  317. 10:20the killing of one million unborn
  318. 10:22children every year out of a perverse
  319. 10:24sense of authenticity and entitlement
  320. 10:26scarlett johansson i will notice that
  321. 10:28that there is
  322. 10:29a peculiar oddity when it comes to
  323. 10:31feminist thought these days which is
  324. 10:32that apparently abortion is all about
  325. 10:35female empowerment but also men can have
  326. 10:36babies they never quite explain why it's
  327. 10:38female empowerment abortion when it
  328. 10:40turns out that you cannot characterize a
  329. 10:42woman in any biological way that a man
  330. 10:44can be a woman and a woman can be a man
  331. 10:46so what does abortion have to do with
  332. 10:48women's rights why isn't it uterine
  333. 10:50rights or baby bag rights or whatever
  334. 10:52they wish to call it birthing people
  335. 10:54rights vagina holders rights like it's
  336. 10:56just
  337. 10:57these people are they're they're silly
  338. 11:00and they're illogical and they don't
  339. 11:01have any good arguments to to bring to
  340. 11:04bear with regards to these issues and so
  341. 11:06it's all just emotional appeals and
  342. 11:08teenage flipping off of crowds and
  343. 11:11shouting the f word facts
