00:00The past last night, you have been really outspoken about it.
00:04You opened up about your own.
00:05Just can you comment for me briefly?
00:09I think that we can all agree that the people who are currently alive right now
00:15aren't necessarily all being looked after and taken care of,
00:17and there isn't much health care available to people,
00:20and there's a huge opioid crisis across America,
00:23and there are so many children who still don't have any homes to go to
00:26because their parents are unable to look after them or weren't ready to have them.
00:30And so there are so many people currently living who still aren't being looked after.
00:33It's important to register the difference between being pro-birth and being pro-life
00:38because you're not thinking about the life afterwards.
00:40There's no setup to help the teenage girls who might be forced now to have children
00:44or the rape victims who are being forced to have their rapist baby
00:47and have to look at someone who reminds them of their rapist every single day
00:52and the rapist gets visitation rights to that baby.
00:54And the rapist will only get maybe up to 10 years in prison,
00:57but a doctor who performs an abortion gets something like 99 years plus,
01:02and you yourself can be punished and sent to jail for a very long time
01:07if you have an abortion even out of state.
01:09This is a crisis not just for women.
01:12This isn't just a way of policing women's bodies and controlling us,
01:15and it really has very little effect on men whatsoever.
01:18But also, what happens to all of those children?
01:21George is going to be inundated with children in need of foster cares.
01:24It's like, what are they going to do?
01:26How are they going to house all of those children?
01:28And there's nothing wrong with foster care.
01:29Foster care is an incredibly important and amazing thing to provide for children,
01:33but there's only so much.
01:34There's only so many people who have the funding or the space to take in children.
01:39And so no one's thinking ahead.
01:41They're just thinking of the...
01:43It's almost as if there's more value for a person when they're in the womb
01:46than there is once they're on the outside.
01:48And so we really need to have a better plan because this isn't working
01:51and everyone's so upset and there is time to reverse this.
01:54And we really need to because there's so much in jeopardy.
