00:03Hello, so I have a few leading questions before my main one,
00:08because I have to be honest, I don't really know that much about you.
00:12So, would you say that you're very religious?
00:16I am religious, however, every one of my political positions is defensible from a non-religious perspective.
00:21Okay, great.
00:23So, I was under the impression that your beliefs on abortion were stemming from your religious beliefs.
00:30Well, at the core, that is correct, but I can get that it is defensible from using reason and prudence,
00:38as I have done the last couple of quotes.
00:39Cool, so you're not trying to legalize abortion based on the Bible?
00:46Well, no, not based on the Bible.
00:47My personal conviction comes from the Bible.
00:50I want to make abortion illegal because it is the only applicable extension of laws and standards we already have in the West, correct?
00:57I'm sorry, can you maybe rephrase that?
01:01Eliminating abortion is the only logical step while we apply the standard we already have in this country to unborn life.
01:09So, we have murder laws.
01:10Yes.
01:10Therefore, murder laws should apply to unborn life as it does to born life.
01:15Okay.
01:16So, again, reiterating, you're not trying to instate laws based on Christian beliefs because that would be unconstitutional, right?
01:23Well, not, again, sort of, but no.
01:25I am not using scripture to defend my beliefs.
01:28However, my personal convictions start with scripture, but the political views that we're talking about here are all defensible using reason and Western tradition.
01:38Okay.
01:40So, great.
01:42That's all I needed to know, that you weren't trying to instate laws based on Christian beliefs because I would not be able to support anything that was so blatantly unconstitutional.
01:53But thank you for clarifying that for me.
01:56I had a whole thing ready, but I guess that wasn't necessary.
02:00Thank you so much.
02:01Well, first of all, just tell me more about how you view politics or whatever.
02:06Is that okay?
02:06Or if not, like, feel free to walk away.
02:09Maybe not in this crowd.
02:10That's okay.
02:11What's your name?
02:11My name is Archer.
02:12Archer, thank you for coming up, and I hope you have a great day.
02:14Thank you so much.
02:15Thank you for clarifying.
02:16And let me just say one last thing.
02:17I could tell you probably have a negative impression of Christianity, maybe.
02:20I hope one day we can earn back your support to making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.
02:25I'm sorry if the church has failed you in that way, because I do have strong religious convictions and beliefs, and there is a God who made you and loves you, and he set his son to die for you.
02:34Her name is Mom.
02:35Okay.
02:36Well, thank you.
02:37I do appreciate the candor and the courage to come up here, but we will pray for you.
