00:00Now, I must address an elephant in the room, and I've heard the guy over here talking about it.
00:08A fear, a fear that some of you have that not enough progress has been made,
00:14that not enough has happened in the political arena, that we're not going fast enough,
00:20that our politics have failed to answer the clarion call to life,
00:23that this march represents, and that all of us, I believe, hold in our hearts.
00:28And I want you to know that I hear you and that I understand.
00:33There will inevitably be debates within this movement.
00:36We love each other, but we're going to have open conversations about how best to use our political system to advance life,
00:43how prudential we must be in the cause of advancing human life.
00:47I think these are good, honest, and natural debates.
00:51And frankly, they're not just good for all of you.
00:53They help keep people like me honest, and that's an important thing.
00:58But I think all of us also have to remember that we are commanded to let not our hearts be troubled.
01:09Because I look at this crowd, and I see young people for whom Dobbs is the only world they've ever known.
01:16And I see people with just a little bit more gray in their hair,
01:23who for 50 years toiled to live in a country where questions of life would be answered by we the people rather than tyrants in robes.
01:35All of us have heard their stories.
01:38They've heard of the movement betrayed of taking one step forward, and then two steps back, and then three steps forward after that.
01:46They know stories of heartbreak and of triumph.
01:48Some of them I've known very personally from ballot issues that I've fought very hard for,
01:54some of which have gone the right way, and some of which have gone the wrong way.
01:58And I remember friends of mine who spent their entire lives fighting for the unborn
02:03without ever seeing the victories that have accumulated in recent years.
02:08My friends, I'd ask you to look where the fight for life stood just one decade ago.
02:15And now, look where it stands today.
