E97: Debunking Biden’s State of the Union, Kate Cox, and IVF Alabama Update · The Lila Rose Show

0:00
14 months ago, she and her husband welcome to baby girl.
0:02
Thanks to the miracle of IVF, he scheduled treatments to have
0:05
that second child. The Alabama Supreme Court shut
0:07
down IVF treatments across the state.
0:09
Let's pause it right here. He's already lying.
0:11
He's saying that the Alabama Supreme Court basically ruled
0:13
and shut down IVF clinics in the state.
0:15
That's not what happened. All the Alabama Supreme Court
0:18
ruled was that if you are an IVF provider, you're not allowed to
0:22
let embryos be recklessly destroyed in your clinic.
0:29
Hi, everyone, welcome back to Lila Rose Podcast for those
0:32
listening later. Welcome.
0:34
And for those on YouTube. Hey, everybody.
0:36
I'm going to be keeping my eye on the chat.
0:38
Last time the chat was not working for me, but this time it
0:41
is. So I see people already in here.
0:43
Hello, Colonel Sanders. Hi, Isaac.
0:46
Hi, Ellie. Thanks for tuning in, guys.
0:49
Great to see everybody. We have a great show today
0:53
because we, some of us at least listened to the State of the
0:56
Union last night, hearing from President Joe Biden about the
0:59
State of the Union, about basically his campaign speech
1:02
for the next year. So you're going to hear a lot of
1:04
the things that he said in the State of the Union in his
1:06
campaigning over the next year. Get ready, buckle up.
1:08
It's going to be a while 2024, but we're also going to be
1:14
debunking the president's State of the Union.
1:16
We're going to talk about particularly the misinformation
1:19
and the controversy around the Kate Cox Texas case.
1:22
Very important for us to talk about, especially for the sake
1:25
of the pro-life cause. And we're also going to talk
1:27
about Alabama's big law that just went into effect giving IVF
1:31
providers complete legal immunity.
1:34
This is also a really big deal. I'm going to take your questions
1:37
as well. Hey, Isabella.
1:39
Thank you. I'm glad you like the
1:40
background. Yeah, we're experimenting and I,
1:42
I like it too. Hello.
1:45
Someone saying I saw Isabelle a stream last night.
1:48
Excuse my language, but the State of the Union was a
1:49
complete. I'll just say disaster is what
1:52
you're saying. Yeah, I agree.
1:53
The State of the Union was very acrimonious.
1:56
It was very angry. I thought that it was very
1:59
almost difficult sometimes to understand what President Biden
2:01
was saying at different points. But we're going to actually play
2:03
clips here in a moment to hear what the president actually
2:07
said, especially on issues of life and family.
2:11
That's what we're going to be focusing on in today's LIVE.
2:14
Hey, everybody. Hey, AC named my baby Lila.

4:30
That's every life.com. OK, we're going to go to State
4:33
of the Union now. We heard from the president last
4:35
night. He had a long speech to give and
4:38
he definitely talked about abortion.
4:41
You're going to hear about abortion a lot in this campaign
4:43
season, the 2024 election. Some people are saying abortion
4:47
is going to be one of the top issues.
4:49
I think that's true for some voters.
4:51
There's some statistics saying that one out of every 4 black
4:53
women are going to have abortion be one of their top voting
4:56
issues. The president is definitely
4:58
focusing on reproductive rights, as he calls it, and trying to
5:02
position himself as a savior for women and his administration as
5:05
a savior for women. So this is all junk.
5:08
It's all a lie. There's a lot of lies that he
5:10
tells in the State of the Union about abortion.
5:13
We're going to break that down. And then we're also going to
5:16
hear from Kate, Katie Bricks Britt, who responds to, she's a
5:20
junior senator from Alabama who gave the Republican response to
5:23
the State of the Union and what she had to say.
5:26
All right, let's start playing here from the President history.
5:32
Is watching another assault on for you?
5:34
You want to select. He doesn't talk.
5:36
That fast, we have it on speed, we'll slow him down.
5:41
Not too slow though. Here we go.
5:42
Another assault on freedom. Joining us the light is Latoya
5:46
Beasley, a social worker in Birmingham, AL 14 months ago. 14
5:51
months ago, she and her husband welcome to baby girl.
5:54
Thanks to the miracle of IVF. OK, she scheduled treatments to
5:57
have that second child. The Alabama Supreme Court shut
6:01
down IVF treatments across the state.
6:03
OK, let's pause it right here. He's already lying.
6:05
So he's starting with something positive in terms of a baby
6:08
being born, not aborted. So there's beauty to that.
6:10
Obviously every baby that's born from IVF is a beautiful blessing
6:14
and, and, and has human rights and should be cherished.
6:18
He's lying already though. He's saying that the Alabama
6:20
Supreme Court basically ruled and shut down IVF clinics in the
6:23
state. That's not what happened.
6:26
All the, all the. Alabama Supreme Court ruled was
6:29
that if you are an IVF provider, you're not allowed to be
6:34
negligent and let embryos of your clients, the families that
6:38
are bringing these babies into the world through your
6:40
technology, you're not allowed to let them just be recklessly
6:43
destroyed in your clinic. And that's what happened.
6:46
The whole reason that the Alabama Supreme Court was even
6:49
hearing a case was because parents of embryos of children
6:53
who were in frozen, basically in cyro preservation in these
6:57
fertility clinics in Alabama, someone had just wandered in.
7:00
They had not locked the door properly secured the embryos.
7:03
Someone just wandered in and smashed several vials that had
7:07
embryos in them, killing the embryos immediately, and the
7:10
parents were trying to get some recompense and doing a wrongful
7:14
death lawsuit against the clinic.
7:16
And all the Alabama Supreme Court ruled is that that the
7:19
parents could sue and for wrongful death, that these
7:22
children could be considered in a wrongful death lawsuit.
7:26
That was the. Bare minimum, it's not even
7:28
saying that you can't destroy babies in IVF clinics.
7:31
It's not even saying that you can't freeze them in IVF
7:33
clinics. All the Supreme Court said in
7:35
Alabama was you can't negligently allow them to be
7:38
destroyed in your clinic. And what happened after that?
7:41
Well, a couple IVF clinics, we're like, we don't want to
7:43
deal with the liability. We don't want to be so careful.
7:46
We don't want to have to, you know, hurt our bottom line by
7:49
having extra security stipulations in our facility.
7:53
And so we're not going to deal with that.
7:54
It's not good for our bottom line.
7:56
And So what did they do? They threatened to shut down.
7:59
And then you saw this whole frenzy happen in Alabama, which
8:02
I'm going to talk about later because it gets worse.
8:04
The story gets worse. But the bottom line is this, I
8:07
wish the Alabama Supreme Court had done what was right and
8:10
acknowledged that these children in frozen indefinitely in IVF
8:14
clinics, brought into life in IVF clinics, that they should
8:17
have equal status under the law with any other preborn child.
8:22
In Alabama, abortion is illegal, but it is legal to destroy
8:26
embryos that you bring into life into an IVF clinic.
8:29
It doesn't make any sense. And So what is happening right
8:32
now is the hypocrisy really is being shown of unfortunately,
8:36
many of the political leaders in the state of Alabama.
8:39
So we'll get to that more. But First off, he's already
8:41
lying. That does not happen.
8:43
All the Alabama Supreme Court said is that you're not allowed
8:46
to just recklessly let embryos get destroyed in your clinics.
8:50
And some clinics that wanted to pad their bottom line, they're
8:53
worried about their own money, wanted to threaten to shut down
8:56
over it. OK, let's keep listening.
8:59
Based by Supreme Court decision overturning Roe V Wade, she was
9:03
told her dream would have to wait.
9:06
What her family got through should never have happened
9:08
unless Congress acts or could happen again.
9:10
So tonight, let's stand up for families like hers.
9:13
To my friends across the aisle, don't keep this waiting any
9:16
longer. OK, I mean.
9:19
Pause there for a second. He's lying about that, that now
9:23
people can't have babies because of Roe V Wade being overruled.
9:26
Actually no, now people do have babies because over Roe V Fade
9:29
is overruled and there's some states that have more legal
9:31
restrictions. SO2 lies already.
9:33
Let's see how many more. I guess I should have like a
9:35
drink or something. Every time we hear a lie about
9:38
abortion. Let's keep going.
9:42
Guarantee it nationwide. All those people standing and
9:54
applauding are applauding for the death.
9:57
Of children, I believe Roe V Raid got it right.
10:00
I thank Vice President Harris for it to be an incredible
10:03
leader defending reproductive freedom.
10:05
There's so much more. OK, we have to pause here.
10:09
Just a little background. I mean, this is a lie.
10:12
You know, the word reproductive freedom, the term is a lie
10:16
because it's not freedom to reproduce, it's freedom to kill.
10:19
And abortion takes place on a child that's already been
10:22
reproduced. Reproduction has already taken
10:24
place. And what happens in an abortion
10:26
is you kill that child. It's not an reproductive
10:29
decision. It's a decision to kill a child
10:31
that's already been reproduced. And he's praising Vice President
10:34
Kamala Harris for being this champion, he says, for
10:36
reproductive justice. Obviously, that's that's a lie.
10:38
What she's a champion for is abortion in the abortion
10:41
industry. Planned Parenthood helped her
10:42
win her Senate race. Planned Parenthood has been in
10:44
her back pocket for the length of her political career.
10:48
She's had a very corrupt political career herself.
10:50
But when she was the attorney general of California, she was
10:53
the one who sent state agents to raid my friend David Daleiden's
10:55
home as an investigative journalist, exposing Planned
10:58
Parenthood, selling baby body parts.
11:00
And meanwhile, she was getting campaign money from Planned
11:03
Parenthood. So think about that for a
11:04
minute. When Kamala Harris with the was
11:06
the attorney general, the state of California, this is where she
11:09
got cut her teeth after leaving San Francisco and got the
11:12
statewide office. She was running for Senate as
11:16
the attorney general and Planned Parenthood was helping fund her
11:19
campaign. At the same time, when David
11:21
Daleiden showed the wrongdoing happening at Planned Parenthood
11:24
clinics in California selling baby body parts, which is
11:28
against federal law, Kamala Harris, instead of as an AG
11:31
investigating Planned Parenthood as the attorney general, sent
11:35
state agents with guns to raid David Daleiden's home and steal
11:39
his laptops and the evidence of Planned Parenthood's wrongdoing.
11:42
And then you know what happened? Kamala Harris's agent, someone
11:45
in her, in her administration, ended up giving the evidence of
11:50
what David documented to Planned Parenthood.
11:53
So they actually knew what was on his tapes.
11:55
It's absolutely insane. It's corruption at its highest.
11:59
And that is our vice president of the United States, ladies and
12:02
gentlemen. So again, you don't hear that in
12:05
the State of the Union. But this is The Dirty, The Dirty
12:08
past of these politicians. And they're continuing it,
12:10
obviously, in the present. So let's keep watching.
12:12
Thank. You, my predecessor, came to
12:21
office determined to see Roe V Ray overturned.
12:25
He's the reason he's overturned and he brags about it.
12:29
Look at the chaos that is resolved it.
12:32
I'll pause it there. I mean, I don't know that this
12:33
is AI would say, I don't know that this is a lie, but probably
12:36
a misunderstanding. I don't think President Trump
12:38
went into office saying I'm determined to overturn Roe V
12:41
Wade. I think he was smart and he knew
12:43
that he needed to appoint justices that the people that
12:45
voted for him would like and that would be solid justices
12:49
originalist to acknowledge the Constitution and the
12:51
constitutional right to life. And thank God they went forward
12:54
to obviously overturn Roe V Wade.
12:56
So, you know, this whole thing that President Trump his out to
12:59
get abortion from the beginning. I think President Trump's a
13:02
politician and he's, you know, been very successful in winning
13:06
the vote of many pro lifers because he has successfully done
13:10
some important pro-life things. Not as Kate Cox, the wife and
13:16
mother from Dallas. She's become pregnant again and
13:20
had a fetus in a fatal condition.
13:22
Her doctor told Kate that her own life and her ability to have
13:26
future in the field children in the future were at risk if she
13:30
didn't act. OK, lie.
13:33
That's not what happened. Her doctor did not say your life
13:36
is at risk. In fact, if her life was truly
13:39
at risk in the state of Texas, Kate Cox could have done a
13:43
medical emergency procedure where she could have delivered
13:46
that baby early. There is actually stipulations.
13:49
Abortion is banned largely in Texas, but there are there are
13:53
exceptions in the law, which I have some issue with some of
13:55
these exceptions because I think that they're actually
13:57
unnecessary. They're actually the result of
13:59
poor healthcare where you don't care for both mother and baby
14:02
enough. But there are exceptions in the
14:03
Texas law for what they called medical abortions.
14:07
Kate didn't qualify because her life was not at risk.
14:11
He is lying right now, the president to say that, oh, look
14:14
at this poor woman. Her life was at risk and she
14:18
needed this abortion. And so let's keep listening.
14:21
Because Texas law banned her ability to act, Kate and her
14:25
husband had to leave the state to get what she needed.
14:27
What her family got through should have never happened as
14:30
well. But it's happening to too many
14:32
others. There are state laws banning the
14:35
freedom to choose, criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors of
14:39
rape and incest to leave their states to get the treatment they
14:42
need. Many of you in this Chamber and
14:46
my predecessor are promising. All right, let's pause for a
14:48
minute. We got to break this down for a
14:50
moment because the Kate Cox, he chose the President of the
14:53
United States invites every State of the Union, a select
14:57
number of guests. These are very honored special
15:00
guests that get to attend the State of the Union as special
15:03
guests of the president's administration.
15:05
And they get to sit there and their cameras on them.
15:07
And they're, they're, they're meant to be core icons of the
15:11
causes and the things that the administration, the president
15:15
cares about. So this is a, this is a long
15:17
tradition and the president chose to invite Kate Cox.
15:20
And it's essential right now that we take a moment to address
15:23
the misinformation regardless, regarding the Kate Cox case.
15:26
I've done this before in the show, but we're going to go a
15:27
little bit deeper right now because if you just hear it on
15:30
its face, if you just read a, a media headline, you see, oh,
15:33
this poor woman, you know, the sweet looking woman, she was
15:37
pregnant and she was, the baby was like dead or dying.
15:40
And she was going to be dead or dying.
15:43
And her doctors were frightened and couldn't care for her.
15:46
And so they had to sue for immediate relief.
15:48
They couldn't get it from the state to Texas.
15:49
And so she had to flee the state.
15:50
This poor, poor woman, right? That is what you hear, that is
15:55
what President Biden has effectively said and that is
15:57
what the media headlines say. But nothing could be further
16:00
from the truth. The reality of the case is this.
16:03
If you actually go to the Kate, the Cox V Texas case and you
16:07
actually read what the attorneys, Kate Cox's attorneys
16:10
wrote, and these are her attorneys that are rabid pro
16:15
abortion legal activists. So this is the, I think it's the
16:18
Center for Reproductive Freedom and their whole thing is to try
16:21
to find cases to expand abortion.
16:23
That's what they are, what they do.
16:25
So if you actually go to the case and you you Scroll down, it
16:28
says and admits in the actual brief that is submitted to the
16:32
court by Kate's attorneys that her life was not at risk, that
16:36
her life was not at risk, but that she may have to have AC
16:39
section and that there's complications with the C-section
16:42
and therefore she deserves to have a late term abortion.
16:45
So that's the first piece of information that is been spread
16:49
is that her life was not at risk.
16:50
She was she was fine and the baby's life was also not at
16:55
risk. The baby had a terminal
16:57
condition which is called trisomy 18.
17:01
It can be a terminal condition, excuse me, but the baby was
17:04
alive. The baby was not under distress
17:07
and needed to be delivered to relieve the distress and get him
17:10
separate care. The baby was around 20 weeks
17:13
old, and they did further tests and said we really think the
17:15
baby does have trisomy 18. And Kate Cox and her husband
17:21
didn't want a baby with disability.
17:23
To be clear, babies with trisomy 18, up to 90% of them are
17:28
aborted because parents and doctors negotiate together and
17:33
say you don't have to deal with this baby with disabilities.
17:35
And so they often get killed in utero.
17:38
It's not that they're all dying, it's that they get killed.
17:40
There's a difference. Do we see that?
17:42
And many of these babies with trisomy 18 can survive some of
17:46
them for many, many years after birth.
17:48
They may have spina bifida. They may they have other
17:50
complications about mental delays.
17:52
It's not a piece of cake. They have disabilities, but
17:55
their life is just as worthy as any other life.
17:58
Bella Santorum is one such child who was born with Trisomy 18.
18:03
She is the daughter of Karen and former Senator Rick Santorum.
18:07
He and his wife Karen and Bella is about to celebrate her 16th
18:12
birthday this year. Bella Santorum, she's been
18:15
surrounded by the love and the care of her family.
18:18
We discriminate savagely against people with disabilities in this
18:22
country, and it is legal to discriminate against them
18:26
lethally when they are preborn. And that's what Kate Cox and her
18:29
husband wanted to do. They didn't want to deal and so
18:32
they wanted to abort. And the way they were going to
18:35
abort is because they waited and waited and waited to confirm
18:38
that the baby actually had a disability when they were for
18:42
sure. Yeah.
18:42
The spine is not developing properly.
18:44
The skull is not developing normally.
18:46
OK. This baby is going to have a
18:47
disability. Well, now we want to abort this
18:49
baby. Well, this baby's 20 weeks old
18:51
now. This baby is literally Kate
18:53
Cox's daughter was literally days away, certainly just weeks
18:59
away from being able to survive outside the womb with medical
19:01
care. And that's when she chose, I
19:04
need this abortion right away. I need to do it because I do not
19:08
want to deliver a baby that's disabled.
19:10
That was the decision that she and her family and she made.
19:14
And so then she's bullying with her legal team or pro abort
19:17
legal team, the state of Texas to say, how dare you not let me
19:19
have a late term abortion on a baby with disability and
19:23
building this whole victim sob story around her case.
19:26
What ended up happening is Kate Cox left the state of Texas for
19:30
a late term abortion and a particularly AD and C abortion,
19:34
which is an abortion where the child is dismembered alive.
19:39
Let's pause for a minute. This is so heavy.
19:42
But people, we're so brainwashed today by media headlines and
19:47
social media too. And we hear these terms like
19:49
abortion, reproductive freedom, you know, Kate Cox's story.
19:53
And we don't actually know what these things mean.
19:56
Kate Cox left the state of Texas for a late term D&C abortion.
20:01
In this kind of an abortion, the child often viable, just newly
20:06
viable second trimester and fully pain capable.
20:12
The doctor, it's a 2 day procedure.
20:14
The first day Kate's Kate would have gone in, they would have
20:17
expanded her cervix so that they can reach in with their tools
20:20
and their grasping instruments. The second day they go in, they
20:23
put her under and they go in with they don't put the baby
20:27
under. The baby's fully kicking,
20:29
feeling everything and they go in and they grab a leg or they
20:32
grab an arm of the baby and they RIP it off and pull it out.
20:36
Then the next chunk of the baby's flesh, RIP it off and
20:39
pull it out. RIP it off and pull it out till
20:41
they get to the skull. Crush the skull, pull that
20:43
baby's skull through the vaginal canal, pull the baby skull out.
20:48
The baby felt that the baby was alive.
20:50
And of course, now the baby's murdered and dead.
20:52
That's what happened to Kate Cox's baby.
20:55
And you know, it makes me want to cry even talking about it
20:59
because it's we, we, we sacrifice this little girl
21:01
because she was disabled and no one defended her.
21:04
I mean, the state of Texas tried to defend her.
21:06
But when when she got to New Mexico, I think that's where
21:08
Kate's mom went where they have abortion through all nine
21:10
months. She was she was just a little
21:13
lamb that was led to the slaughter and the president of
21:16
the United States of America, the most arguable, arguably
21:20
powerful person in the country. The powerful seat in the country
21:23
in the in the world, excuse me, is praising the decision to kill
21:30
this little girl and saying the poor mother that she had to go
21:33
through difficulty to achieve the death of this little girl.
21:38
So it's, it's a shameful display of, of the powerful over the
21:42
week, the domination, the brutal domination that we permit in
21:47
this country because we deny the rights of the weakest, the
21:50
vulnerable in the womb. And it's lies.
21:52
It's just straight up a, a, a litany of lies coming from our
21:56
the leader of the free world about a little baby who's not at
22:00
the state of the Union, who's not, who's never going to
22:04
celebrate her 16th birthday, like Bella Santorum, who's never
22:06
going to know the loving embrace of his or of her mother.
22:11
You know, because her mother didn't want to embrace her
22:14
daughter. Her mother wanted to kill the
22:15
daughter. So that's the truth.
22:18
That's the truth of the Kate Cox story.
22:20
Read the court case document yourself, read Kate, read Cox V
22:23
Texas, read it yourself. The other thing too is Kate Cox
22:28
and her husband, they want another baby.
22:30
They just want it to be healthy. And so the, because the question
22:33
was, why don't you just do AC section, Let this baby come to
22:36
term, do AC section. She could have placed the baby
22:38
for adoption. She could have done any number
22:40
of things. She didn't want to do the
22:43
C-section and didn't want to let this little baby grow and live
22:46
and thrive because if she did, she might not get to have that
22:51
4th baby because another C-section of 4th time can be
22:54
very challenging. And she really wanted that
22:56
healthy third child. So this was also an act of
22:59
eugenics by Kate Cox and her family and her medical team to
23:03
say, we're going to literally selectively reduce, we're going
23:06
to destroy the unhealthy family member because we want to make
23:10
space for a future healthy family member.
23:13
May God have mercy, right? May God have mercy.
23:15
So there is the story of Kate Cox.
23:17
There's the truth that we all should know.
23:19
And let's let's go back to the president and his last few
23:22
comments on life and family from the State of the Union.
23:26
Ban on reproductive freedom? My God, what freedom else would
23:30
you take away? Look.
23:33
I gotta pause it. There's two.
23:35
This is like rich stuff. My God.
23:37
What other freedoms would you take away?
23:39
Ban on reproductive freedom. Again, there's no ban on
23:42
reproductive freedom. No one is stopping someone from
23:44
getting married and and having a baby.
23:47
There's no law against that. You could, you were free to do
23:49
that. You are.
23:51
And you should be prohibited in some places.
23:53
You should be prohibited in all places.
23:54
And you are prohibited in some places from getting pregnant and
23:58
then going and killing your baby after the, after reproduction
24:01
has happened. So the, the euphemistic
24:03
language, the, the language that's being used here to try to
24:06
deceive and lie to people is powerful.
24:09
It has a hold, but it's it's something that needs to be
24:12
exposed. Roe V Wade, the Supreme Court
24:16
majority, wrote the following. And with all due respect,
24:19
justices, women are not without electoral electoral power.
24:24
Excuse me? Electoral or political power,
24:27
You're about to realize just how much you what are.
24:32
They cheering for women are not without power to kill.
24:36
We just have to kill to be free. We don't have to kill to be
24:40
free. I mean, it's so sad.
24:44
What are we cheering for? Domination over children?
24:46
That's what we're cheering for. It's so sad.
24:51
And you know. Some bragging about overturning
24:53
Roe V Wade have no clue about the power of women, but they
24:57
found out. Guess what, Joe Biden?
24:59
There's a lot of real life American women, millions of us.
25:02
Again, he's lying here. He's lying because he's saying
25:05
that all women, women at large are pro abortion.
25:09
It is a lie. It's not true.
25:10
I work with, we work with millions of women across the
25:13
country in the pro-life movement who are passionately pro-life. 2
25:16
and 2020 and will win again in 2024.
25:19
That's a lie. You're not going to win.
25:21
I mean, I don't know, Maybe we'll, we'll see.
25:24
We'll see. That's about all the politicians
25:26
say we will win. Not if we have something to do
25:30
about this. But let's keep.
25:32
Let's keep going. If you, the American people,
25:35
send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise
25:38
you I'll restore Roe V Wade as the law of the land again.
25:44
OK, so the president, what most people don't realize, the
25:47
administration's position on abortion, President Biden's
25:50
position and his administration is abortion on demand without
25:54
limit, taxpayer funded. This is very important.
25:58
And they also want to force doctors to do abortions.
26:02
I mean that was part of or, or or to market abortions.
26:05
One of the things Kamala Harris did as AG was to she, she did
26:10
not respect pregnancy resource centers and she wanted, and this
26:13
has been a typical thing amongst a lot of very hardcore pro
26:16
abortion politicians. They don't want pregnancy
26:18
centers to exist because they provide alternatives to
26:21
abortion. And so they try to threaten or
26:22
penalize them or say that the pregnancy center has to at least
26:26
advertise abortion. So the administration's position
26:29
is out of touch with the large majority of Americans.
26:33
Most Americans want some abortion restrictions.
26:36
President Biden and his and his administration want none.
26:39
So put that in your back pocket for future conversations about
26:42
politics and the election for with friends who say, well, Joe
26:45
Biden's a moderate or, oh, Joe Biden is a unifier.
26:48
Oh, you know, President Biden is, you know, he's not a zealot,
26:51
he's not crazy. He's the most pro abortion
26:55
president we've had. And he is not a unifier.
27:00
He is not a, he's not a moderate.
27:03
He is an extremist on abortion and everybody needs to know it.
27:07
OK, let's go to IVF and Alabama. This is the second story here.
27:11
I'm going to check the chat too. Here folks are saying I hope he
27:15
doesn't win. AJ says.
27:19
I cringe just watching his speech.
27:20
It was tough to watch. I agree.
27:24
Others saying if only he would speak so boldly about closing
27:27
the border. Yeah, I mean, a lot of
27:29
complaints about obviously his border policies.
27:31
But I think the through line here is a lot of misdeception
27:35
coming from the president, especially on on the issue of
27:37
life. So what just happened in
27:39
Alabama? This is really important, guys,
27:41
because listen, our pro-life movement is growing.
27:45
More states are banning abortion.
27:47
More states are protecting life. We're very excited at live
27:51
action because more states are putting fetal development into
27:53
school curriculum. We're seeing this happening
27:56
across the country and it's a good thing.
27:58
But you see a state like Alabama, which is largely a
28:00
pro-life state, the governor Kay Ivey says she's pro-life.
28:03
The legislature is largely pro-life.
28:05
They have pretty much an abortion ban in the state.
28:09
And then when the Alabama Supreme Court made this ruling,
28:11
IVF clinics, a few of them threatened to close.
28:14
And then there was this big media uproar, right, where the
28:16
media was just attacking and blasting Alabama's Supreme
28:20
Court, saying they're so extreme, giving embryos the same
28:23
status as, you know, persons. OK, an embryo.
28:27
What is an embryo? What is a human embryo?
28:30
Let's just go have a quick science lesson here.
28:32
Science shows us that human life begins at the moment of
28:35
fertilization at Spermag fusion in an IVF clinic, that's what
28:39
they're trying to do all day long is sperm egg fusion,
28:42
successful sperm egg fusion to get an embryo and then grow it a
28:45
few days old and either implant it or put it in cyber
28:48
preservation and freeze it. So an IVF clinic knows when life
28:51
begins because they say, aha, we have an embryo, we have an
28:54
embryo, we have a unique individual little human that now
28:58
can grow potentially in the womb of our client, right in the room
29:02
of our, of the person in the family that's purchasing this
29:05
process, right. So the IVF clinic knows when
29:07
life begins. The human biology textbook knows
29:09
when life begins. The scientist knows when life
29:11
begins. Somehow politicians and the law
29:13
has not caught up because the reality is if you are human
29:17
life, you should have human rights.
29:20
The idea, the whole idea of a human right is that human rights
29:24
are universal and inalienable. Our own Declaration of
29:27
Independence says this, that we are endowed by our creator with
29:30
certain inalienable rights and the universal rights.
29:33
And the first of these is life, liberty and the pursuit of
29:35
happiness. And life comes first.
29:38
So that means that all human beings, if you are human, then
29:41
you have the right to life and you have it by, by virtue of
29:44
being human. You don't need any other special
29:46
trappings. You don't need to be 1 year old,
29:47
2 year old, 5 year old, newborn, 20 year old.
29:50
You ought to be strong. You don't need to be without
29:52
disability. You don't need to be a certain
29:54
sex, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality.
29:58
You just need to be a human. If you are human, that's enough.
30:02
So the probably position is simple.
30:03
Well, you're human as an embryo from the moment of
30:06
fertilization, you deserve to not be killed.
30:10
You deserve to not be killed, and you should have the legal
30:13
right to not be killed. And so our job as a
30:16
civilization, as a society, is to have laws that protect both
30:20
the weak and the strong, and that includes the weakest in the
30:22
womb. And they deserve equal
30:24
protection under the law with the newborn, with the 20 year
30:27
old, with the 50 year old right. And our 14th Amendment to the US
30:30
Constitution has an equal protection clause.
30:33
It says that everybody, all persons should be treated the
30:35
same under the law. And so if you're human, you
30:38
should be treated the same as another human.
30:39
And that extends to the human in the womb.
30:41
So the, the logic here is pristine.
30:45
It's reasonable beyond all belief.
30:46
It's logical. The science is clear.
30:49
So where's the rub with IVF? Well, the rub with IVF is this.
30:53
In the United States today, there are virtually no
30:58
regulations of IVF. What does this mean?
31:01
This means that you can go and you can purchase someone's egg
31:05
or someone's sperm. You can go and create multiple
31:07
lives in an IVF clinic if you pay for it.
31:10
You can create 20. You can create 30.
31:12
You can decide based on the gender of these embryos or what
31:16
you perceive to be the health or the the potential to grow of the
31:20
embryo, how genetically perfect they are, whether you want to
31:24
keep them or kill them. You can just kill them outright
31:27
if you want. You can then freeze them
31:29
indefinitely if you want, because maybe you made 4 embryos
31:34
and you did 2 and you're not sure that you want the two
31:36
others. So you have these embryos
31:38
frozen. You're paying 1000 bucks a year
31:40
to continue to freeze these embryos.
31:42
And if you implant the embryos in a surrogate or yourself, you
31:46
can decide after maybe a few weeks, few months of that
31:50
pregnancy to abort that baby or to abort one of the babies
31:54
because maybe you implanted two or three.
31:57
This is a practice called selective reduction, where
31:59
multiple embryos can be implanted legally.
32:01
And then the mother or the family of the who's paying the
32:04
surrogate can say, no, we want to have an abortion on one or
32:08
two of these embryos. There's too many, there's an
32:09
issue, we don't like it. Whatever.
32:11
This happens, this is not just a theory, this happens.
32:15
The reality is this is all legal in most of the country.
32:19
In a country like Italy, as an example, it's illegal to freeze
32:22
embryos at large and it's illegal to destroy them.
32:25
They have IVF in Italy, they have IVF in other countries
32:29
throughout Europe, but there are far more regulations in most
32:31
countries. America is the Wild West of
32:35
reproduction of IVF. You allow, we allow, anything
32:38
goes. And in Alabama, all the families
32:42
wanted was legal status or legal right to sue the clinic that
32:48
recklessly allowed their babies to be destroyed.
32:52
And the Alabama Supreme Court said, yes, you're allowed to
32:55
sue. That's it.
32:56
You're allowed to sue. And after that, all the pro
33:00
lifers in Alabama, the governor, the Senate, the legislature,
33:05
they all got together and said, Oh, no, the poor IVF industry,
33:09
they're mad, they're sad. We've got to be pro-life and
33:12
support IVF. And so we're going to pass a
33:15
law. And this is what just went into
33:16
effect. We're going to pull up the
33:18
headline here. We're going to pass a law to
33:21
give total civil and criminal immunity to IVF clinics in the
33:27
state of Alabama. I mean, let's break this down.
33:30
It's so insane. They're saying that if you are
33:33
an IVF clinic and you intentionally or accidentally
33:36
through negligence, willful negligence, kill or allow the
33:39
death of an embryo, you don't have any recourse as the parent
33:43
to even sue or pursue criminal penalties.
33:45
And certainly there's no one else who can take on the
33:47
interest of the child and sue because of their wrongful death.
33:50
Not a thing now in Alabama. How can these two things exist
33:54
side by side where it's illegal to abort a baby because they're
33:58
a baby in Alabama if the baby's in the womb of their mother, but
34:01
it's not illegal to destroy a baby and, and, and kill them in
34:06
an IVF clinic. How do these two things
34:08
logically make sense? They don't.
34:11
But unfortunately, Governor Kay Ivey just signed this bill into
34:14
law. This was even after live action
34:16
brought together with a group of many other pro-life
34:18
organizations, national organizations, writing a letter
34:21
expressing our concern about this to the governor.
34:24
We did this earlier this week and we had multiple people sign
34:26
on and it's basically said you can't just give complete
34:30
immunity to IVF clinics. This is this is nonsense.
34:33
This is not constitutional. It's nonsense.
34:36
And of course, our letter fell in deaf ears.
34:40
I want to play one more clip of the response to the State of the
34:42
Union from Alabama junior state senator, Our junior senator,
34:47
Excuse me, She's a, she's a, she's a, a federal senator.
34:50
But Alabama Senator Katie Britt, we're going to play the clip.
34:54
And we want families to grow. It's why we strongly support
34:59
continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization.
35:03
We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into
35:07
this world. All right, So they chose to put
35:11
this in there. So President Biden is saying
35:13
everyone should have IVF and the Republicans, Katie Britt,
35:16
representing the Republican National Party here, is saying
35:19
we want to have nationwide access to IVF.
35:22
We want everyone to be doing this, everyone be doing this
35:25
unregulated unethical activity that I understand the intention
35:29
behind it for many well-intentioned parents, but
35:32
that has so many abuses around it and that has led to the
35:35
deaths of so many children. How can the pro-life Republican
35:38
Party before this? It's, it's a huge tragedy.
35:41
It's a huge mistake that they're making.
35:43
And I think right now really the the name of the game is
35:46
education. A lot of people don't know these
35:47
things. So that's what we're working in
35:48
at Live Action and that's what other groups are working on, is
35:50
just educating people about what the IVF industry is actually
35:54
doing in this country. So unfortunately, it was a
35:58
tragic presentation from the president, tragic presentation
36:01
from Katie Britt that she put that in there saying we just
36:04
need more IVF, more of this unethical practice that's
36:07
harming ultimately leading the deaths of many children.
36:10
And obviously tragic that Kate Cox is upheld as this icon of
36:15
women's empowerment at the State of the Union.
36:18
I want to leave here on a positive note and then I'm going
36:20
to see if there's any questions in the, in the in the chat here.
36:23
Oh, someone just said we can't hear the clips.
36:24
Oh, no, OK. The clip was Katie Britt, the
36:27
the senator, the junior senator from Alabama.
36:29
And she was saying she's a Republican, She's responding to
36:32
Biden and she's saying we need families to have, I think she
36:37
used the word nationwide access to IVF.
36:39
So she's basically doubling down and saying we need IVF
36:43
everywhere. It's just tragic, right?
36:45
And that's, I mean, sharing that clip because there's no
36:48
difference here now between the Republicans and the and the
36:50
Democrats on this. There's no standards, there's no
36:53
regulation, anything for the IVF industry.
36:55
And it's just a wild, Wild West out there.
36:59
All right, leaving here on a positive note.
37:03
We've found that when people are educated on these things, when
37:05
they learn about human development in the womb and they
37:08
learn about what abortion procedures do to babies, they
37:11
become more pro-life. We see this in focus groups and
37:13
surveys that live action regularly does.
37:15
So be encouraged by that. Educating people about what
37:18
these procedures actually do to babies, Educating people about
37:21
the humanity of the baby does make a big difference.
37:24
Most people are not well educated.
37:26
The second thing is this politicians, they're just going
37:29
with the wind. They're trying to do what's
37:31
going to get them their next election.
37:32
One, they're trying to not make too many enemies.
37:36
And so if they feel like they're getting major pushback from the
37:39
media, right, like these Alabama Alabamians who were pro-life
37:43
that we're so scared about, oh, poor IVF, now we have to pass
37:46
complete legal immunity unity for them.
37:49
You know, that's, that's a human nature to some degree, we're
37:52
defending one's position of power, being fearful, etcetera.
37:56
But if we are strong enough in our position, if we are loud
38:00
enough with our position, and if we continue to take background
38:03
on social media, in media by spreading the truth, which is
38:07
what we do at Live action and what I know all of you guys are
38:09
interested in doing, we can combat that, that pressure that
38:14
politicians feel to do the wrong thing by providing pressure for
38:17
them to do the right thing. So closing message here is be
38:21
outspoken. Get your facts and be very
38:24
outspoken with them. Be proud of being pro-life.
38:27
Be proud of your position. It is the loving position.
38:30
Abortion is not loving. These IVF practices are not
38:33
loving. It is the loving position.
38:35
It can be a hard truth for some people to hear, but do it
38:38
obviously with compassion and it will help change the course of
38:41
this country. And so thank you for being
38:43
willing to do that work with me because we can do it together
38:46
and we can change the course of this country.
38:48
I'm going to look to the chat for a moment here to see if
38:51
there's any questions. SY says.
38:55
Lila, what is your opinion for on DNC for miscarriage?
39:00
I feel that's cruel to my mom when she lost her baby at 20
39:03
weeks was induced. I would find it immoral to
39:06
remove the baby in pieces. I mean I I have friends who have
39:10
miscarried and the doctor was recommending AD and C if the
39:14
baby is passed away and dead and that is the safest way to remove
39:18
the baby or what the doctors you know you're talking with your
39:21
doctors, working with your doctor on that.
39:23
I don't think it's morally wrong to remove the baby.
39:26
I can understand how it's incredibly emotionally painful,
39:29
but often in miscarriage, the baby can come apart anyways in
39:31
the process, depending on how long the baby's been miscarried.
39:35
In my miscarriage, it was earlier miscarriage, but the
39:38
baby was already, you know, disintegrated.
39:40
So, you know, it's, it's, it's heartbreaking and tragic, but
39:44
there's no immorality to it because this baby has already
39:47
passed. And the intention, of course, is
39:49
to be respectful and loving. And at that point, you want to
39:52
make sure the baby has fully passed from the body so that
39:55
there's no infection. All right, let's see here and
39:59
we'll take one or two other questions.
40:01
Oh, did you do a podcast episode on what happened in France?
40:04
Thank you for the question. I meant to include this briefly
40:08
because it's a headline and we did some content on it earlier
40:11
this week. But yes, France did just
40:12
enshrine abortion in their constitution.
40:15
Totally tragic. They lit up the Eiffel Tower
40:17
afterwards. And I've been talking with some
40:20
people from France and they say the pro-life movement isn't
40:22
really strong here. We don't really have pro-life.
40:25
You know, a big pro-life movement, we don't have pro-life
40:26
politicians right now representing us.
40:29
So I think it's a Clarion call to people of good faith and good
40:32
conscience in France to say we got to we got to get together
40:35
and build a movement because the opposition has a movement and
40:39
they've just done something unprecedented.
40:41
And enshrining abortion in the constitution.
40:43
Can it be reversed? Of course it can be reversed.
40:46
This is not the end. This might be just the
40:48
beginning. And the fight is on in France.
40:52
OK, we'll do just one or two more questions here.
40:54
Will you have any more collaborations with Ruslan?
40:57
Yes, of course. He's my friend.
40:59
Actually, he'll be at our event at Live Actions event a week
41:03
from this Saturday in Irvine, CA, and he's one of our
41:06
speakers. There's still some tickets left,
41:08
I think, so check it out at liveaction.org.
41:10
But yeah, Ruslan is awesome. All right, last question I'm
41:15
going to just tackle here. OK, This is a controversial one.
41:18
I have a cousin in Mexico who suffered 2 miscarriages.
41:21
I suspect the vaccine had something to do with it.
41:23
What do you think, Lila? I don't know.
41:26
I mean, I know that I've read some of the research that shows
41:28
that there was a higher risk of miscarriage for women who did
41:31
get the vaccine. I did not get the vaccine
41:34
because I thought it was too experimental and the risk for
41:36
COVID for me was low. And I didn't think that it was
41:40
fair or necessary that the government was forcing everyone
41:43
to do this, you know, effectively coercing people to
41:45
do this. I have a lot more opinions about
41:48
vaccines. Maybe we'll talk about them in
41:49
another episode. But I do think there are some
41:52
concerning studies and links between the vaccine, the COVID
41:56
vaccine and the risk to women. So before you take it, if you're
42:01
if you're going to take it as a woman, hopefully you're not
42:04
certainly read that research because it does exist and
42:07
there's increasingly more of it. All right, that's a wrap.
42:10
