Just to get things off on on the right foot
everybody flip him the bird when he walks in.
We need to break the spirit of religiosity
that's in this room.
We've all been paid handsomely
by the Trump organization.
I don't know about the rest of you,
but let me just tell you, I do what Mr. Trump says.
Right?
Hello Everybody.
This is serious power.
That's the real deal.
Your seat's up here, Mr Trump.
You're around here.
The key that picks the locks of this election is you.
Conservative Catholics and evangelicals
who have not voted who have not been motivated to vote,
have to come to the polls.
If we don't win on November 8th,
it's because evangelical and Catholic leaders
have not delivered.
Your fate is in your own hands.
We got there about 9am We had been driving
all night long, I don't think any of us
slept more than a couple of hours.
But to just like open up the bus doors and walk out
and see all these people.
And we know that we're all on the same team in support
of saving the babies.
And right then like all the tiredness and sleeping on
the bus and everything is just like so much more
worth it and you just know it's gonna be a great time.
How's everybody doing?
For those up here you can't see
how far this crowd goes back.
It goes all the way back and people are still
coming in.
So come on, keep moving up.
We believe that we're the generation
that can overturn Roe v. Wade,
and our greatest hope is that not just
that abortion will become illegal but that abortion
will become unthinkable.
And I would like to welcome you to the 47th march
for life the, largest annual human rights demonstration
in the world.
You will see that our marchers are full of passion
and full of love and they are young.
It is my profound honor to be the first president
in history to attend the march for life.
unborn children have never had a stronger defender
in the White House.
It is a very special moments,
it's so great to represent you.
I love you all.
Young people are the heart of the march for life.
And it's your generation that is making America
the pro family, pro life nation.
This pro-life march is a lie.
This is a march for women enslavement.
Where are you for the tens of thousands of children
who are in cages?
Lord Jesus, your Holy Spirit is present.
And I felt it today God as we marched on Washington,
I felt it as I meet with all of these young people
I know your will is being done.
I know that abortion will end soon.
God, I pray over every young person in this room
that you will just empower them, Lord,
embolden them with how they will go out and change
their communities God, and it is in Jesus name,
we pray this in his name, amen.
"And I will sing out hallelujah
and we will cry out hallelujah".
I wasn't pro life when I came to college,
but I just happen to make friends with everyone in
the group students for life.
And the night before the March for Life.
Someone was like, hey Haley there's an extra spot.
I went, and I was like, already starting to like,
learn about what abortion was,
my eyes were being open.
But honestly, I became pro life fully and committed
myself to the movement.
And now I work for students for life
at the March for Life.
So it's my favorite day of the year besides maybe
Christmas, but I really like it a lot.
I grew up in that, like the church,
and I always just believed that God had made
all of us unique.
So I never understood why abortion was even
like an option.
The other side is usually talking about how abortion
empowers women, but in reality it doesn't.
And having the baby is more of a way to empower women.
Being able to bear children and like create life,
like that is very unique to women.
And that's what empowers us the fact that we can do that
and still do everything else.
How insulting is it for people to say that women
need a special surgery to be equal to men?
Most of my friends say, Well,
I don't want a bunch of like older white men
and the government telling me what I can
and can't do with my body.
You look at us right now.
Are we a bunch of old white men?
No, there are a lot of people who want to choose life,
including US college students that are female.
For a lot of us, we care about
voting pro life first.
Because if you don't have life,
what other right do you have?
And it's just really cool that we have
a pro life president.
I know we had to go right over there and put my micro
site to contact and fix my mic.
Got stuck on my bra.
There we go, all done.
Thank you.
Have you heard of my keeper baby?
I have not.
So we are a pro life nonprofit.
We bike across the country to support pregnancy
resource centers, right?
Yeah. What grade are you in?
I'm in ninth grade.
People like AT and T and Verizon give money to
Planned Parenthood.
Instead of that we support all the causes that
we think people here believe in.
All the internships in the Capitol.
There's two that are most highly sought after,
ours and the White House.
Pro life momentum is surging and we are meeting
with the Americans want to believe we are motivated to
reelect the president and reelect the pro life
Senate Majority.
You might also find this interesting because
increasingly we're finding Soji policy being pushed,
ultimately it's changing the mindset of the culture.
So we need to have people who are educated
pushing back on price.
Rather than new campaign, with Justin became defining
abortion as fundamental health care.
In fact, waking up this morning checking Twitter,
there was Bernie Sanders saying abortion
is healthcare.
So this is what they we're arguing in the context of
the Obamacare debate.
Abortion is no different than any other
surgical procedure.
So Have you had your moment yet of like tears?
Sherman was praying with me backstage just now.
I thought, Kylie, twice.
We have helped tens of thousands of students
across the country.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Kristan Hawkins
Where will Women when turn when abortion
is no longer legal.
I hear this all the time.
What you pro lifers gonna do about it?
Were you just gonna talk to all the babies
and help all the women?
Yes, that is what we do.
That is exactly what we do.
Because when Roe versus Wade is reversed
when abortion is no longer legal option,
we will be the only ones there to serve her because
let me let you in a little secret friends,
it's not going to be Planned Parenthood.
It is gonna be our pregnancy centers of
the maternity homes we run, the adoption agencies,
we're proud to be a part of.
We have to be ready to do more than we've ever done
before the post roll America and that's why you are
so important because it doesn't matter how many
lobbyists we have on Capitol Hill when Roe
is reversed, guess who I'm calling all of you.
And I geofence the entire March so I'm everyone's
mobilized from yesterday.
Because we're gonna need you.
We're gonna need you to go to state capitals.
We're gonna be putting you on buses.
Like this is something I train our team for
how quickly can we mobilize groups of students
and convince them to skip class to go to
the state capitol to lobby or testify on behalf of
pro life legislation?
Join me in creating an America for abortion is
no longer celebrated, accepted and legal.
This year 2020 That will determine whether or not
we do become the first post Roe generation this year
French run rise up and be a history maker.
Thank you.
I'm here I'm a real person.
We started students for life I would get to meet
you know, kind of the pro life my pro life
like icons.
I heard that the march for life.
And I would often introduce myself,
we're running a post Roe organization.
And I remember mentors and friends told me you
probably need to stop saying that because you're
freaking everybody out.
And now we're constantly getting calls from
reporters like to what does a post Roe for America look
like I'm like, Oh, thank you.
This is what we've been building this whole time.
But you haven't been paying attention to us,
the lowly students over here.
While everyone's kind of focused on Washington, DC,
we've been massing a network that no one else
can rival in the country.
We have Kristan Hawkins to the president of students
for life, America.
We have chapters on more than 1200 campuses.
We're in all 50 states.
This is what we do.
I hope you guys are more excited
than when we got here.
You feel more empowered, ready to abolish abortion.
We're gonna take a selfie with you.
Alright everyone come to the stage
because we're crazy.
"We are the pro life generation"
Young people drive cultural change.
We know this from our history classes.
If we don't win young people to our scientists,
this movement, everything we do will just be reversed
in 20 to 30 years.
Everything [Overlapping conversations]
Have a safe trip home,
we'll see you next year, god bless you.
Evangelicals make up about a quarter of voters.
So it's a really large group.
And it's a group that can very easily be mobilized.
One of the misconceptions about evangelicals is
that they're hypocrites.
They're hypocrites for voting for Trump.
But he really made an outreach effort
and he has done what he said he would do,
and he's done it aggressively.
I grew up in a very conservative
Christian household.
I think a lot of people write about evangelicals
with a sense of otherness.
It's very much not other to me.
Having grown up so steeped in this culture,
I was sort of like, well, it's so obvious why people
would vote for Trump, you have to understand
the psychology of this group.
41% of Americans believe that Jesus will come back
by the year 2050.
If the country is not conducting itself
in a moral fashion, there will be consequences.
So in the same way that I might say to you,
how could you not recycle like, don't you know, your,
the end of the world might be coming like you,
we have to do something.
That's the exact same way people feel about
the issue of abortion.
And it really did motivate people to go out and vote.
There is only one candidate running in this election,
who is pro life, pro religious liberty,
pro conservative justices to the Supreme Court.
And there's only one candidate who treats
the views of conservative Christians with respect.
And that candidate is Donald Trump.
And this President could choose.
I mean, it could be five.
It's probably going to be three.
It could very well be four, but it could even be
five Justices.
So you get a Hillary Clinton
in there, and its over.
Here's my daughter.
Hello, good morning everyone.
Hi sweetheart
This is a very full impressive group of people.
This is a very full impressive room.
Nice to meet you all. Welcome. Back to work.
Nice to meet you.
Well, welcome.
Go back to work now.
As much as I love your daughter,
she got you in trouble on the Planned Parenthood issue,
however You know, it's a tough issue.
The feeling is that you know,
out there that a lot of women are very happy
with Planned Parenthood.
But because of the fact they perform abortions,
I can't support it.
I would defund it.
Okay, but unless you hit that very hard,
there are many Christians that just don't
believe you.
Mr. Trump, you've been flexible and changed
your opinion on a number of things,
from abortion to Hillary Clinton.
For most of his life, he has described himself as
very pro choice right now today as a candidate,
he supports federal taxpayer funding for
Planned Parenthood, you went on television,
Planned Parenthood does wonderful things
and we should not defund it.
Well it does do wonderful things,
but not as it relates to abortion.
So tell you what, what are the wonderful,
There are wonderful things having to do with
women's health, but not when it comes to abortion,
In the case of Donald Trump,
we were definitely not for him when he was last
on the primary list for me.
I sent an open letter to voters in Iowa and
South Carolina, urging them to support anyone
but Trump, when it became very real,
that he was going to be the nominee.
And he was saying all the things that we wanted
to hear, it was good to hear.
But it was also even better to get a commitment,
a very concrete commitment that was literally written
to me and the pro life movement signed by him
saying, This is what I will do.
And judges were at the top.
So it's a very pragmatic shift.
He was so very obviously the person that we had to
vote for, and we had to take emotion and everything
else out of it.
That's the story of Donald Trump.
He became the most pro life governing president
in history, I believe, because the pro life
movement committed to supporting him as long as
he stuck by his commitment.
And he did and he has and now we believe
that he will.
The Senate Majority Leader,
the one thing I get to do that the other 99 don't get
to do is to decide what we're going to do.
And obviously, that was on full display when I decided
not to fill the Scalia vacancy.
Noble causes deserve great leaders.
And that is just what we have here.
And Susan B Anthony list and a visionary like,
Marjorie, she's fabulous.
Some of you remember the early years when Marjorie
was running this organization from her
living room, to the present day, look at this room,
where you're one of the most powerful change making
organizations in the entire country.
Please join me in welcoming our hero
Marjorie Dannenfelser.
It would be hard to imagine a more palpable sense of
hope and optimism.
But today, we can honestly say that the pro life
movement is that our strongest position after
almost a half century of turmoil now,
the scales are finally tipping towards unshackling
the democratic process and the states to act on
the will of their voters.
It's about time.
We've gone in the pro life movement from a position of
defense to offense because of a very
definite strategy.
And that is to elect a pro life Senate elect a pro life
president who will nominate judges who will
allow states finally to come to the table
and start passing laws that save lives.
When the Susan B Anthony list got its name,
it was an effort to connect the women of the past with
women of today and the women of the future.
What else is in my office?
Here's all my suffrage badges.
My conversion was certainly an evolution.
But there are also some really
important touchstones.
I was very pro choice going to college.
And on my first day at Duke,
I thought I was pregnant and I hadn't slept.
I was out of my mind worried,
I knew exactly what I was going to do.
It was no doubt about that I would get an abortion.
The question was just is this going to be
difficult or not?
It was such an immediate decision,
involve no thought, because I believed that this was
the equivalent of an appendectomy or something
that would liberate me to do the things that
I needed to do.
I did not see this as a matter of two equal
human beings with rights that we had to reconcile.
As it turns out, I was not impossibly not it seemed
to me, but I was not.
And I did not change my views right away.
I went from pre med to a couple of other things to
being a philosophy major.
I think it was at that point that I wouldn't let
myself get away with my body my choice anymore.
Because it begs the question,
what if I'm wrong about this,
I could be responsible for advocating for the deaths
of human beings that have just as much right to
live as I do.
But there's no question that the study of
philosophy and God's grace combined to my mind
changing and I really fell hard when I did.
This actually was a picture that was in World Magazine
and the first real coverage we ever got.
And this was when my kids were obviously
really little.
We were painting that day downstairs.
There's my fax machine slash telephone.
This is actually what my work looks like every day,
just all in one compact little moment.
Moving down here, I think is even, like,
kind of more some of the highlights of what happened
in the last four years.
Our field team, our people rallying about
the Supreme Court, then there's the president,
me and friends again signing
a piece of legislation.
So yeah, I think he did, would I had ever envisioned
these pictures 25 years ago, no,
I definitely can say no, I wouldn't have thought that.
Hey, everybody out there with Democrats for
life of America.
I'm Teresa Cogan, and I am out here at the Democratic
debate in Las Vegas, Nevada,
with some supporter here we have the DFLA flags,
we've been doing lots of chants,
We brought the fetal model.
So we made a little bit of a disruption
Being an atheist liberal pro lifer is a weird life.
It's definitely something people aren't expecting.
Call me an extremist but I think
dismemberment is wrong.
Why should non Christians care about abortion?
I get hate mail from everybody.
Terrisa Bukovinac Pro-life Sanfrancisco.
Never a dull moment there.
Oh believe it.
San Francisco is just getting younger
and younger and younger.
It's a city for the millennials so it's ripe
for the picking.
I'm taking a controversial position that the pro life
message can be held by a person that holds
a progressive ideology.
The question is are pro life dems welcome
in the party?
I want to thank you all again to for coming,
to this event, it is my honor and privilege to
introduce to you today, Katrina Jackson.
She is the Louisiana representative who has
brought the legislation that will challenge
Roe v. Wade in March.
And we're so excited to have her here.
So thank you so much.
It's up to us to make sure that both Democrat and
Republican districts fight the line,
and for your party to come against you.
Because your stand for life is ridiculous.
I'm serious about this.
Being pro life should not be about party or gender
or anything.
It should just be about being pro-life period.
So Teressa we're having a sympsium about like
contemporary feminism in Manhattan at Columbia
University on March 28 2020, Yeah,
I really want you to come.
Yeah, I'll be there.
If you can cover my travel, I'm there.
I'm constantly approached by people who tell me look
like believe what you want to believe.
But don't call yourself a feminist, you know,
and it's like, it really sucks.
Like, it really is like the jab, you know,
a really good one too.
I have all of those shared goals that we should have
equal pay for equal work.
I am trans inclusive.
I absolutely support sex workers.
And I think that people should be sex positive,
and we should have sex education,
and that birth control should be accessible.
I'm perfectly aligned with mainstream feminism
other than the abortion issue.
Here's me on my 16th birthday,
probably one of the first years that we really
celebrated my birthday.
I grew up in a cult called the Worldwide
Church of God.
I always knew that we were different.
And I'm a little bit more comfortable than other
people being looked at as different or weird because
that's exactly how everyone saw me and knew me,
you know, in my like, elementary years are like,
oh, there's that weird girl with the weird religion.
I had a pregnancy scare at 17 and I totally was going
to have an abortion.
I didn't end up pregnant and I didn't have an abortion,
but I was totally gonna go through with it.
So I'm not judging people that have like been
in that circumstance.
I didn't change my stance until I became an atheist.
That was really the turning point.
Like when I lost that faith that there's some kind of
life after death or that there's a God righting
the wrongs in the end that there's some kind of divine
justice involved.
I have to rethink all of these moral issues.
Like that's what caused me to feel really urgent
about human rights issues in general.
And so I feel totally compelled as an activist
to continually highlight my atheism,
because I am trying to convince religious people
that this is not a religious issue.
Good evening, we begin tonight with breaking news
one signature that could be the first step toward
overturning the Supreme Court's landmark
Roe v. Wade decision that legalised abortion,
Alabama governor Kay Ivey ignored the protests
and took her pen to paper late this evening signing
this bill into law, it effectively outlaws
abortion statewide.
This law does not include exceptions for rape
and incest and carries a felony charge for doctors
punishable by a sentence of up to 99 years in prison.
Two years ago, I was raped by a co worker.
The next morning I woke up bleeding, confused,
violated and scared.
I stayed in my house in the same clothes for
three days.
A few weeks later, I realized I was
experiencing nausea, cramping.
I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive.
Even through the storm of my emotions,
I knew that I had to end this pregnancy.
Last month, Alabama passed an outright ban on abortion
including in cases of rape and incest.
In cases like mine, looking back,
I know that if I had not had access to my abortion,
I would have ended my life.
That is what is at stake in Alabama.
But we know that what is happening in Alabama
won't stay there.
It will go to the Supreme Court and the ability of
all people to make their own decisions about their
bodies will be at stake.
People have been trying to overturn Roe v Wade
for a long time.
But the fact that you're putting our lives at risk
to do it is unAmerican and it's cruel.
And it makes me sick to my stomach.
The whole world was there watching our senators
debate about abortion access for women.
There were three rape survivors who were
in the gallery.
And one of the senators formally recognised them.
All of those senators they turned and they looked up
in the gallery through the glass,
at those three victims of rape.
They looked at their constituents,
they looked at the women of Alabama who needed them,
and they voted against them.
At that point, I saw the importance of personifying
abortion and working towards destigmatising it
because we all know people who've had abortions.
So this is from the Miss Alabama USA pageant.
One time I was third runner up,
and then the next time I was second runner up.
When I found out I was pregnant in high school,
I was in a total panic.
I was so excited to go to college.
You know, I wasn't prepared to be talking
about pregnancy.
And my dad was laying in bed reading the Bible
and I walked into his bedroom and said, Dad,
I've got to tell you something.
And I remember he, like turned and looked at me
like square in the eye.
He was like, are you pregnant?
And I said, Yeah, I've already found an
abortion clinic, I'm going to have an abortion,
I have an appointment to go down for counselling.
My dad goes, the three things that I hate most
in the world are cancer, gays and abortion.
I grew up in a community that was very conservative.
We were not encouraged to ask questions because you
had your answer right there according to them,
the Bible.
We were in church and we got on the subject
of abortion.
I remember I asked if a woman doesn't want to
have a baby.
Isn't it wrong to make her and I got laid into.
How dare you think that?
How dare you say that.
The cost of speaking about these things is huge.
From then on, I learned that the best way to kind
of survive is to keep your head down and just be
a good girl and not rock the boat.
The South is ground zero for the stigma work
associated with abortion.
I think all of these people who are at church
and hearing about how abortion is murder,
are afraid to be seen as the other and cast out.
You're taking away women's rights.
We're going back in time right now.
I have autonomy over my own body.
"our body, our choice".
I have no problem going to a college campus
and how people yell at me or protesting.
I love it.
When they protest me that means they're
paying attention.
They're thinking about the issue and I know
we're going to change minds.
Thank you for coming out to hear
my presentation tonight.
I really appreciate your time,
especially if you do not particularly agree
with the anti abortion pro life position.
So my story a little bit about me.
I grew up in West Virginia in a blue collar home.
My dad worked at a coal power plant.
My mom was a teacher and they both retired
last year.
My parents were a registered Democrat until
I started working for President Bush's
campaign in 2004.
Because I came back and pretty much made everybody
in my family chang their voter registration that year.
I pulled this one off my shelf.
This is when I tried to take a selfie with Mike
Pence and I caught my face.
This is me and Phyllis Schlafly and Gracie.
You know she told me I needed to lose weight
when I was pregnant with Gracie and I was like
I will as soon as I pop out this baby Phyllis.
And then there's me and Trump and baby Gracie.
And then Senator Rick Santorum,
one politician I really like and then one with
President Trump and you tell me it's just a funny
story and body language.
When I think about you know why I am the way I am right
when we think about how any of us are we often think
about our families and how we are raised
and how we were brought up.
I think a lot about how my dad was this primary driver
in my life, his point really stuck with me of,
you need to have choices in your life.
I didn't get to have those choices.
You can do whatever you want to do.
And I want to make sure you have choices your life,
that's why you have to work as hard
as you possibly can.
In my scrapbook, I've all these newspaper clippings
or like scholarships I won and stuff.
And then first of my class in college.
I won a scholarship to space camp.
I was going to go into engineering programme to
graduate honors, you had to complete some sort of
project I chose to volunteer 100 and some hours.
So I started volunteering at a pregnancy center.
I had no idea what I was walking into was a pro life
pregnancy resource center.
I knew abortion was bad.
My mom had told me abortion was bad.
I grew up in West Virginia.
But if you have asked me like,
are you pro life or pro choice?
I'm like, oh, pro choice because it might be wrong
for me, but I can't tell somebody else they can't
have an abortion.
I'm like, what if I did become pregnant?
Like, how would I graduate high school right?
There was always that like, no one and going
Yeah, sure.
I love to work at Women's Centre, I'm pro woman.
And so instead of just sticking me into like
the supplies room to organize,
they wanted to train me to be a counselor.
So I sat for weeks, weeks reading and watching
and learning and attending lectures,
and getting just inundated with pictures and images
and stories.
And I knew that I wanted to do something to end abortion.
I had to do something to end abortion.
This is a whole cover spread about me starting
the pro life group in my high school.
It's got my little Pro lifet shirt was my favorite
shirt of the year.
So I don't know how many wombs God gave me but
he didn't give you mine.
So you can leave mine alone that is all I'm trying
to say to you.
What happen's in an abortion?
If there's nothing wrong with what happens in
abortion, then tell me what happens in abortion.
If it's so good, tell me what happens in abortion.
You do not gonna understand what your Roe vs Wade world
would look like and you think it's funny and that's
the same thing I said to your so it's your side,
you think this is funny?
Half the people in this room are on student loans,
and you want them to have children?
You know how much children cost?
You're privilege as hell.
Your laws are not going to make a bullshit impossible.
Your laws are making abortion inaccessible.
Why can't women just live in a world where they can
make their own decision on their own bodies
and their own time?
I do not need you to help me,
I do not need you to give me anything.
Let me do what I want you to be my body.
But it's not just your body.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to
our gathering of Susan B. Anthony
list supporters all over the country.
We're really excited to talk to you.
And because we know that opening is very real,
that we could actually change everything now.
It's the almost invisible tidal wave that is
occurring across the country.
It that revolution in the course,
you can feel this moment.
Our team member and Autumn Christiansen talk about
some really important policy actions that have
taken place recently.
The largest funding stream for Planned Parenthood
is Medicaid.
So we have been working closely with the Trump
administration to move forward our goal,
eliminating Medicaid funding for abortion
providers like Planned Parenthood.
Just last week, we had the great news about Texas,
being given permission for the first time ever to
withhold certain Medicaid funds from Planned
Parenthood and other abortion providers.
This is a huge victory, and one that will create
great precedent for future action in other states.
Thank you, you can see why we keep on close at hand at
all moments because she is the Policy
Director extraordinaire.
That map shows where our battleground states are.
But most importantly, this is what our post
Roe world looks like.
There's a lot on that map that kind of just explains
where we are and where we want to go and how we would
serve the country if Roe is overturned.
Since we see a sea change, we take it very seriously.
And we can go about the task of building
what really is the beautiful vision for
the pro life movement.
These are our core values.
We're working very hard on creating a template for
what that could look like.
That plan isn't perfect yet it's very much in planning
stages but its lack of perfection should not
affect how hard we work to pass laws that are going to
save the lives of children intended for this world
for a specific purpose.
Okay, ready go ahead Hey guys it's stuck me
stone with students for life and we're out here at
the Supreme Court tonight aren't we excited?
We're doing our overnight and it's gonna be an
amazing night follow us.
Hey everybody good to be with you tonight.
My name is Mike and Sarah.
My name is Micah This is Sarah
"You are here moving in our midst,
I worship you, I worship you,
you're here healing every heart.
What time are you guys coming out here
tomorrow morning?
I think the rally starts at eight right that's why
let's face that today They want people to be here at
eight because their rally starts.
So we want our people here holding our space
Yeah cuz that's the problem is that we don't have
enough people over right so that's why we have to
be here today.
Yeah, it's a body counting.
I Wish I could wear my fuck abortion
T-shirt right now.
I can wear it like under my stuff and feel badass.
[Overlapping conversation]
Are you gonna be on the Livestream?
Right here baby because
we're the live stream talent.
Tomorrow
I was like, Who is this crazy person?
Are you a pro abortion?
So tomorrow is gonna be a big day.
This is the first Supreme Court case
that we are going to have with two
new pro life Supreme Court justices,
Justice Gorsuch and Justice Cavanaugh?
Are they really gonna do what we've been expecting
them to do all along?
And yes, count.
But the challenge is now students for life have to
spend all night at the Supreme Court to
secure our space.
This is kind of a numbers game, sadly.
So when we have supreme court hearings,
and we have decision days, a lot of times it depends
on who gets the prime spot for the press conference,
the day and that kind of determines
your media coverage.
So guess what?
Students for life.
We have all of our tarps right over here where this
stage is happening right now for the prayer vigil,
which is perfect because tomorrow,
all the media will be right here.
Guess where the pro's are?
Oh, all the way over there.
So just to show don't mess with us because
we're highly competitive.
We'll be here all night we're gonna be doing
different Instagram Stories.
Can you spare 20 seconds to pray over these students
because while most of you are leaving tonight,
we're spending the night.
So 20 seconds y'all up and hands towards the students.
God bless these students in your name.
Thank you, God so much for their willingness to be
your hands and your feet.
God I just pray protection over us all tonight
and energy first thing in the morning to do your
good work In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Thank you all see you here tomorrow.
Today, the US Supreme Court considers a major abortion
case to challenge a Louisiana law that requires
doctors performing abortions to have
admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.
Planned Parenthood filed a court brief calling the law
unconstitutional,
Are Louisiana's law and others in the courts
and effort to eventually overturn
Roe v. Wade.
Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court just
four years ago, the Court held in whole women's
health that the Texas admitting privileges law
imposes an undue burden on women seeking abortions.
The Louisiana law at issue here is identical to
the Texas law.
Act 620 would leave Louisiana with just one
clinic and one doctor providing abortions.
Do you want breakfast or anything?
I'm okay right now.
We're on your shift then.
I got back.
Oh, so you just went to bed?
Yeah.
And I didn't realize how early it was but it's
so great that now Yeah, go back to sleep.
Go to sleep.
But the pillow back
Alright, I'll see you there liana.
The other side is terrified of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
falling ill and dying because it's all coming
down to this one It is alarming.
And it is unacceptable that in the year of 2020,
there are still states that are hell bent on preventing
women from getting access to reproductive
health care.
And so that's why we've had to be in the Supreme Court
again, to make sure that the promise of Roe
is available for all women.
Just figuring out where to stand we just need to.
I need you guys to be ready.
I need you guys to like form a human wall.
Where is the human wall gonna be?
Wow, that can be over.
And then you'd have to start there and just form
a circle there.
Our big dream is that this will directly challenge Roe
and usher and hopefully an era of a culture of life
in America.
You said you're also a Democrat?
That's correct.
I wann go talk to pro abortion people.
Hi, would you like to talk to us about why you're
here today, man?
Do I look like a pro lifer?
Like, I don't think Oh, take it off.
Hi, would you like to tell me about
why you're here today?
We're here with the woman project from Rhode Island
where we passed the reproductive Privacy Act
last year they codified Roe into law.
What does Roe vs. Wade do?
Roe vs. Wade protects women and lets women
have autonomy over their bodies.
They know what's best for them, and nobody else does,
it's a civil rights issue.
So you're totally fine.
Like if I'm nine months pregnant,
if I start doing crack cocaine.
If you've ever had substance use problem that
you should we would be there to help you with that.
So if a woman's smoking cigarettes while
she was pregnant, as she done anything wrong?
Please don't touch me.
Are you guys pro life?
The hard part is that it's when people already know
the answer that they want.
And we're not going to have a debate.
So I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.
I would just say it's not a woman's liberty.
It's not her body when there's another
human person.
Thank you got that on camera.
I'm Kathleen Pittman, the administrator at
Polk medical which is the plaintiff in the case,
women in Louisiana deserve abortion care,
they should be able to determine if and when they
expand their families.
Why do you do this?
Why do you keep doing this?
I don't think we have enough time for me to
explain to you why we continue doing this.
We care about the women, we simply feel they need to
be allowed to do what is best for themselves.
And I think the state of Louisiana just needs to
get out of the way.
I have read the briefs on the stand.
There are good arguments on both sides.
Indeed, in the country.
People have very strong feelings.
And a lot of people morally think it's wrong.
And a lot of people morally think the opposite
is wrong.
I think personally, the court is struggling with
the problem of what kind of rule of law do you have in
a country that contains both sorts of people?
There is no doubt in my mind,
that if Roe versus Wade were overturned,
22 states would move swiftly to ban abortion.
And those become states in which you could not get
access to abortion, you would have to leave
those states and go to one of the other states.
How can it be that seven in 10 people in United States
want abortion to be safe and legal,
vast majority of the people and how we end up
with these very retrogressive policies.
We have equal distribution of Senators by state,
but not by population.
They have the structure of the United States,
which is states that are not populace that are rural
and that in the current configuration are
more conservative.
So the Senate if it were reflecting the population,
of the United States would be pro reproductive rights.
It really is about the tyranny of the minority,
right we're talking about is when you are as brazen
in office to essentially take the levers of power
and continue to consolidate power against where
the majority of your constituents are, right.
I mean, that's what we have, right,
we have a majority of state houses that are essentially
holding their constituents hostage because they don't
reflect the majority of their public opinion.
These are also the same states that are impacting
voting rights.
They're the same ones who are quick to ban trans
rights and the intersection of injustices that many
communities face.
With the current challenge to the total abortion ban,
the ACLU of Alabama, the National ACLU and national
Planned Parenthood formed the legal team representing
all of the clinics in Alabama that provide
abortion services.
We've already filed to get an order from the court to
prevent the law from going into effect.
What's the alternative?
We have to fight.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want you to lie down in green pastures
of Mercy
leads me beside still waters.
We've had people in the last two weeks here,
pull into the lot and go, Oh, y'all still open?
Isn't this illegal?
Like they're in trouble?
Like, like, can we do this?
And like, yes, you can. People don't understand.
The purposely try to block the driveway, sometimes.
They cannot come off the sidewalk.
They do have permission to take your pictures.
There's no expectation of privacy.
It's legal.
Not right.
But they do it, it's an intimidation thing.
I think the little 12 year old rape victim has
impacted me the most.
The district attorney's in her county had already
delayed this process six weeks.
So she went from 11 weeks to 17 weeks before they
thought it through the courts.
In Alabama they passed a law where they have
appointed guardian ad litem for the fetus.
And so the VA in the county where she lived
was appointed guardian ad litem.
I mean it's like she's not adult enough to choose to
have an abortion but she's adult enough
to have a baby.
It was a a heartbreak because
The only reason woman needs to have
are choosing to have an abortion
is she's pregnant and does not want to be
because in general that said when she had hers that
the doctor told her now go lead the life
that you were meant to lead.
Okay.
I am the new Alabama State Director for
Planned Parenthood.
You could say that Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
life has been one disagreement after another.
I'll be finding a crack in every door that I can bust
through to elect pro choice representatives for
our state and for our country.
My dad saw it on me the other day and he was like
you're on the wrong side.
I don't know why you would ever support the killing of
little babies.
And I'm like well, I don't support the killing
of little babies.
That's not what this is about.
It's about like a woman's right to bodily autonomy
and like to choose when she wants to start a family
and he's like bullshit
Hi, Dad. What's up?
Go Republican.
I mean, like story of my life right there.
By forcing people to have children,
you're keeping them in this cycle where they can't
get out of poverty.
They can't get out of debt.
And I don't think that's accidental.
That cycle keeps the people who are on top on top.
We don't want women in the Alabama Senate.
We don't want people of color in the Alabama Senate.
We don't want LGBTQ plus people
in the Alabama Senate.
We don't want immigrants anywhere in the state,
in the country.
I'm not a politician by any means,
but seeing what's going on.
It makes me want to learn and run and get these
people out of office.
The women's reproductive rights are under assault
by President Trump in the Republican Party.
30 states are trying to overturn Roe v Wade
right now.
I think we have to stop playing defense
and start playing offense.
Who do you want to be sitting behind that desk?
A battle over abortion access during the pandemic
now heads to court states like Texas, Ohio,
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Tennessee
ordering a postponement of non essential medical
procedures and elective surgeries including
most abortions.
Forcing women to get abortions out of state will
only make them more at risk of getting the Coronavirus.
Thank you for calling Houston women's
reproductive services.
We regret to inform you that the state of Texas has
closed all of our facilities due to COVID-19.
It's just a bulshit, such bullshit.
You never really think you'd be like,
basically personally victimized by
the government until it comes down to it.
And here I am 8 weeks and six days today.
It needs to be by the end of next week.
The laws that came down was just here in Texas,
it wasn't in Colorado.
So if I can't get this pill by a couple days,
then I'm gonna fly to Denver and get it there.
Just because I'm so close to the cutoff time of
being able to take a pill.
The governor in the Attorney General banned
all abortions for the state of Texas indefinitely.
And yesterday evening, a Texas judge ruled that
it was unconstitutional.
So we're back in action.
Hi there?
Yes, ma'am.
Hello.
Hi, this is ally of the South Austin clinic.
We've been trying to call our patients
who had previously scheduled appointments to
move to a different date.
We have no option but to refer to other
dates as well.
Things may or may not change again.
If you hear in the news that the laws change do
give us a call.
Alright. Okay. Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
I'm very sorry about that.
I hope everything works out.
Yeah, thanks, not your fault.
Appreciate it.
Such bullshit.
I'm worried.
I can't believe that I'm going to be on a flight to
go to a different state in the middle of a pandemic.
And like the whole reason, quote,
to ban abortions in Texas
is for the safety of people.
And this isn't fucking safe for me and it's not safe
for anybody else.
It's kind of an interesting reset of what's really
important in your life.
We're all accepting like major financial setback
sacrifice, we're doing it to protect the most
vulnerable, which is a very pro life message.
I want it to be known that no group worked harder
and did more during COVID, quarantine and students
for life.
Hey everyone, we want to help you go digital with
your top conversations.
We've been doing a virtual training series,
doing more webcasts and Facebook Lives with leaders
My grandson is refusing medical care to baby
survived abortions called infanticide.
Planned Parenthood is a business and Democrats
call it choice.
So I'm gonna respond.
I'm a pro choice Democrat.
I don't agree with your pro life.
Wow I just got something amazing in as a comment.
They don't agree with me.
I'm gonna start a conversation.
We've been running ads to our pro choice pro
Planned Parenthood.
18-24 year olds on Facebook.
And then we have a tool we've developed to actually
put them through a system and measure
their conversion, their minds change.
I agree with you that this should stop.
And that's one conversation.
And today we're 105,000 Digital conversations.
And so those are conversations that we are
having with pro choice, young people that we're
specifically targeting online and engaging
with them in a conversation isn't just like an ad,
it has to be multiple touches,
and log it in and raise your score,
raise the score for your state,
your school yourself, and then win prizes.
It's amazing.
We're really excited for you to have all these
digital conversations.
Thanks for joining us.
I'm personally been having a lot of fun with it.
Because I like the challenge.
And I like the competition.
We have an official partnership with
Susan B. Anthony for the elections,
our theme will be vote pro life first.
In fact, I did a call last night with a group.
It was funny because of the pitch I made to them.
I can tell by your faces you do not like
the president and what he says on Twitter.
I'm not asking you to agree with what he says
I'm not asking you to become a Republican.
I'm not asking you to become conservative.
I'm asking you to be a single issue
voter for this.
Yeah, that's my cat Avicii.
He's my son.
He loves to look at himself in the mirror here.
Try to look activisty and beautiful so that people
want to talk to me because if you're not cute,
they really don't care.
If you get a group of traditionally pro choice
people together and a group of pro life people
together, and none of them are holding any signs
and there's no like outward indication of
what their position is.
You can still tell who's who.
And that's super problematic for us because
if we're trying to break through people's
confirmation bias and show them that being pro life
doesn't have to be totally contrary to all the other
things that they are.
Well, just looking at you already killed it.
So if I even want them to think that I'm not
a right wing, Christian zealot,
I have to look as pro choice as possible.
Then I go and get my sign.
My Gloria Steinem glasses, prolife Gloria Steinem.
No, I have a few models here.
So I put them in my purse.
Today's the first day that they're going to be
enforcing the mask requirement and so
I'm going to wear my pretentious Louis Vuitton
one and I'm sorry, like, I don't mean to go out there
and like, hassle women and crisis with
my designer shit.
But here's my apocalyptic look.
Aren't you dying to talk to me in this outfit?
I don't look scary at all.
Here's the facility, I'm not allowed to get in there
and I'm not allowed to touch the building.
But other than that, I'm 100% allowe to be here.
Yeah, there's Save some babies.
What do you say?
Where are the people telling us to fuck off?
Are we winning?
At least jumps for airlines like to
welcome you to Denver.
Well, the time is 10:54am Pleased to remain seated
with seat belts really fast in order to carry
that to receive.
Mayor Adler was tweeting out just a couple of hours
ago about Austin needs to stay safe and stay yet.
So I sent both the Attorney General
and Mayor Adler this DM.
I wanted to let you know how severely disappointed
I am in Texas.
I had to travel today to Denver to get
a prescription from Planned Parenthood because
abortions are currently banned in Texas.
I refuse to be forced into an unwanted pregnancy.
You and the state are encouraging staying inside
and being safe and I'm quite literally risking
my health and safety because I cannot
get a prescription drug.
That which requires zero contact with
medical professional.
Thank you and I hope you and your family is safe.
Today, anti choice activists gathered outside
the Supreme Court to await the first major decision
on an abortion case.
Since justices Cavanaugh And Gorsuch
joined the court.
You're gonna hold on to the baby
If I put it in the suitcase
and they scan it, they see the little baby
body they're like, so I have to pull it out.
Otherwise they're like, Ma'm,
what the hell do you have in this bag?
Oh, yeah, you you're looking at even see this?
So buddy, you guys are here.
Yeah.
Can you believe they haven't organized
anybody else?
Yes.
No, I'm kind of a little bit surprised that not more
of those folks are out today but
You think it would be a little bit
more intersectional
But I also just think no one's talking about
the court right now.
Yeah, I don't think people understand the relevance
of the courts.
How these decisions matter.
Yeah.
Anybody feel comfortable holding a feminist line?
Thank you.
Great, we got a while signs looking amazing in this
feeling warm or are we tired of refreshing
the Supreme Court website.
Are you ready to activate?
Are you guys ready to fight for life?
When I say protect women, you say protect life.
It's out
What is it?
That means it's probably not good for us.
Okay, we need to read it.
Okay.
All right, the decision is out.
So we're gonna look over the decision.
So Roberts voted against us.
So we lost.
And it's devastating.
Now to the Supreme Court, which today handed down
a major victory to abortion rights activist,
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the courts for more
liberal members in the five to four decision.
This is a law that challengers said would have
left just one doctor in the entire state able
to perform abortions.
My name is Tina Whittington and I'm the Executive Vice
President students for life America.
I'm here to say that while this is a setback,
for women in Louisiana, it's not a setback for
the pro life generation, we will abolish abortion
in our lifetime its going to happen.
New York Times is freaking awesome.
That's what I wanted.
I'm happy.
I mean, I wanted to win, definitely.
But I still want to win in the court of
public opinion.
And that matters when you get the cover of
The New York Times.
I'm so glad we were there for the pictures.
They have to pick up.
Young hot slutty with it.
Yeah, it's so important.
Like we have promiscuous sex,
and we don't think you should be able to
have an abortion.
I'm so glad we got it.
This is really difficult for me to deal with how
sick I am a world that just makes excuses for violence
and finds ways of justifying it in order
to move political power here or there.
And who gets caught up in the middle,
the most innocent and vulnerable and marginalized
people of our community.
I just, I want to build a better world.
It's actually really simple this is public property.
You're protecting baby killers
You're gonna turn around
and put your hands behind your back.
It was such a great moment for me as an activist.
I couldn't have dreamed of getting inside that
hospital to do a disruption.
And then they idiotically walk me and others through
the hospital in handcuffs.
So then I start leading chants in the hospital.
There's no guarantees that the world will ever change,
but it motivates me to try.
Good evening, everyone.
We're coming on the air with the latest on the wave
of protests and unrest taking place at this hour
across the country.
Outrage of the death of George Floyd
an African American man while in police custody
in Minneapolis nearly a week ago.
Initially, we put out a graphic honoring
George Floyd's life.
And we didn't comment on whether or not he was
using drugs.
If he resists arrest, whatever we just said,
this is a very simple statement that everybody
should agree on that every human life is precious.
The mayor painted black lives matter on 16th Street
right in front of the White House.
And in the Black Lives Matter protesters painted
equals defund the police.
And when I saw that, I was like, wait a minute,
now they've just opened up your streets for
public expression.
Why can't we add to this conversation?
Hey everyone, Michelle Hendrickson here with
students for life America and I just wanted to
let you know what happened to us.
We're out here at the DC Planned Parenthood
we were prepared to do our street painting as part of our
black pre born Lives Matter campaign.
And we came out here and we're told that we would be
arrested if we started painting on the street.
This is not going to stop us or students are
continuing to fight the good fight yourselves.
I think I'm probably a medium.
Oh, here's a medium.
Thank you
You're permitted for assembly.
You're not permitted for any other markings.
Whether it's removable paint chalk to whatever
any of these other materials.
If anyone who takes action on that
we will have to take action on that.
So what is take action on that?
It could be an arrestable offense For sidewalk chalking?
Yes.
It is ridiculous.
Jesus, please come back, like right now.
If we're gonna do it, pass no, no.
I know Christians like being very pressured.
But I don't want to pressure anybody.
So people want to do this and they want to chop
and they're good with it.
No, I'm saying do it before the press conference.
I'm saying before 10am.
When we do RPI because that is something we can use in
the press conference and talk about.
If you continue chalking you're going to be placed
under arrest okay.
You know, they do this I majored in political science.
This is public property.
Every Saturday, people here chalking and you're taking
somebody's young people and arresting them because
they're simply putting chalk on a sidewalk chalk
that they are standing for preborn Black Lives.
Anybody who filmed, Google Drive link shareable copy to Kevin
Black preborn lives matter.
Please welcome Cherylin Holloway from pro black pro life
17 and a half years ago, my son Sincere,
came to be conceived.
It was an unplanned pregnancy.
But because of my prior abortion,
I was determined to bring him earthside it has been
very, very evident to me that as a black male,
he is not favoured in the United States of America.
I began to talk to my other black friends
who would stand for racial injustice and I would talk about
the abortion rate in the black community and they would say
but what about when they're out of the womb?
Where's the support there?
And I knew I could not be the only one
who cared about both.
Black preborn lives do matter,
all Black Lives Matter.
Thank you
Looking on, this is no time to be
So make no mistake about it.
The Radical Left wants to silence pro life.
Just recently we saw the arrest of students
for life of America.
A group of students were arrested For writing,
black, preborn lives matter.
Outside of DC Planned Parenthood,
black lives matter.
And the radical left celebrates those who defend abortion,
but they would prosecute those who stand for life.
This president, this vice president,
and this administration will always stand up
for the freedom of speech of every American,
and we will always stand for life.
I came to this work late in my life
is someone who was old as Roe.
And in about 2009, I was walking down the street
in New York City in Soho.
And I saw this billboard of this,
like the most adorable little black girl's face,
it's just maybe like five.
And I reflexively looked up to say, like, Oh,
what is she selling,
I want whatever she's selling, right?
And I got closer to the billboard and the words
underneath her face said the most dangerous place
for an African American is in the womb.
And it took my breath away.
Because the reproductive choices,
black women are always under attack, right?
Whether we choose to have children under difficult
economic circumstances, or we decide to terminate pregnancies,
because of difficult economic circumstances,
or for whatever reason.
Our choices are demonized, our ability to be seen
as either mothers or independent free thinkers
about what we need to determine our own future.
The fact that we cannot be trusted to make decisions
for ourselves is an undercurrent that they are
trying to tap into in the way that they're
appropriating race inside of this movement,
and that is not an accident.
You know black woman were
treated as breeders during slavery.
And when we express any opportunity to be agents
of our own destination, our own freedom.
They see that as a threat as well.
The nation is rocked today by the death
of a Supreme Court icon.
As a liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was seen as a hero,
championing gender equity
and striking down barriers to abortion access.
She designed and led the fight for women's rights
in the 1970s and subsequently served 27 years
on the US Supreme Court.
Last rocking the political universe tonight
the battle lines over the courts future
already being drawn.
Activists say this could be a turning point
in the decades-long fight over reproductive rights.
About right after sunset was when our I got the call
from a member of our team here at Susan B. Anthony list.
I was literally sitting in front of the Supreme Court
with my kids having crackers and cheese.
And right at that moment, the flags on the flagpole
started to go down and I don't really usually
buy into big neon moments like that.
But I was literally where I needed to be.
I was in an Uber coming back to my house from the beach.
And I just I can't even tell you how I felt I felt just,
I felt like we're going to overturn Roe.
I felt like from the perspective of someone
who sees abortion as literally killing babies,
it's really hard to see a more pressing concern.
I was phone banking, husband,
tapped me on the shoulder, send email to my staff.
We need you on the phone call.
Five minutes.
It's sad when any human being passes away.
But everybody knew that the Justice Ginsburg's
health was not well, you know, she was not doing well,
or we already had the press release written
that just had to be filled in with the details.
I spoke in one week individually on the phone
with the President and the Vice President
and Mitch McConnell and Senator Lindsey Graham
and the Chief of Staff and the chief counsel about this,
and who it was gonna be Amy, Coney Barrett,
and just about everybody on the list was strong.
And yeah, Amy is our favorite.
If Amy Barrett is confirmed,
President Trump wins.
I think it's very real possibility that we see
a post Roe world.
The reality is we're not going to be able to
overturn Roe without real tangible effects on society
and women and their children.
Do I have concerns about those types of things?
Of course I do.
But this is everything we've worked for.
And we've got to push for it.
Is the pro life generation here today?
Do we believe that we are on the cusp
of seeing Roe overturned?
We're gonna go ahead and and we're gonna pray
over Amy Coney Barrett, Heavenly Father,
we praise you and we thank you.
You are the God over the United States of America.
We just submit ourselves to you and pray Lord God,
that there will be peace in this or God we would not
see divisive attacks from Satan who wants to destroy
and divide our nation, I pray that this would be
a moment of unity starting now in Jesus name, amen.
Five Decades ago, the States lost the right to
determine what abortion looks like in their states
and we just got one massive step closer to seeing abortion.
I'm so excited for what this means in pro life
future of America.
I want to get a story with you.
Or you want me just standing in front of them.
These are so good.
They really look amazing.
My idea was to saying.
Hi everyone it's Kristen with students
who live in Central America.
And we are here at the Hart Senate building waiting for
Amy Coney Barrett to arrive for her first day
of her confirmation hearings.
We are so excited because we know that Amy Coney Barrett
and her nomination Supreme Court signals
that our country is ready to protect life and law.
It's our way of talking about abortion without
talking about abortion.
When you hear reproductive rights me abortion
when you hear particularly from mommy's Yeah.
Oh, is that the Doppler?
Okay.
How for along are you Laurie?
37 weeks 37 weeks so she can be born today
don't stress me out.
Heartbeat detected must be protected.
[overlapping chanting]
Heartbeat detected must be protected.
The question of course on the Nomination of Amy Coney Barret,
on this vote,
the ays are 52, the nays are 48.
The nomination of Amy Coney Barret of Indiana to be an
associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States is confirmed.
Losing RBG in the last weeks of the 2020 election,
at a moment when we were paralysed by a Senate being
led by Mitch McConnell.
It really demonstrated how the extremes in which
the antis through the GOP have weaponized
the rules of the game.
It kind of was the capstone of politicizing the entire
federal judiciary in ways that limit access
and limit freedom for everyday Americans.
And that's what people should be outraged by.
Let's get started.
Let's go to 17, first.
yes.
25.
It's like right around the corner here.
Okay.
There was really no time to pause and recoup.
We don't take anything for granted.
Our most important job is to maintain
what we have in the courts,
and then go out into the states and gain
that advantage that we helped create.
Can I ask you some survey questions while you isolate?
They're in quarantine.
Everything we do every single day is going to be
about organizing on the ground and Senate
and presidential battleground states
and raising the money to fund that machine.
This election cycle, we raised $62 million dollars
for our operation and our candidates.
Hi, I'm Katie with the Susan B. Anthony list
and women speak out pack where prolife one.
We are too.
We have three adopted children and one of ours
was rescued from being aborted.
Do you support having more federal judges
who will follow the Constitution protect the health
of women and their children.
Yeah and overturn Roe V Wade,
it's unconstitutional Perfect.
Hold on a second.
You know, if we lose, I will be devastated.
But I will have hope.
And I think that's almost what you see is that
they are completely hopeless.
That's why you won't see pro-lifers rushing out to
the streets of Joe Biden Kamala Harris when
to riot and burn things down because we still have hope.
I was working in a gym before
and when all the gyms shut down my mom was like,
might as well do this.
Evil thrive when some good people do nothing.
And this is the fight.
You know, there's World War One World War Two
and this is the fight of my generation.
I've been in the pro life movement since the late 80s
30 years ago, there was 10 abortion clinics in New Orleans.
We took one at a time and stayed there in front of them
for 30 years.
Right now.
We only got one.
Oh my gosh.
Shut down.
Divine Providence pro life pro Trump.
Yes, sir.
You know what, let's do an elbow right here.
Okay, there we go.
Election day Oh, San Francisco.
It's an Action Day.
The nomination of Amy oni Barrett,
I think puts a lot of pro life Democrats at
ease on the abortion issue and makes them feel more
comfortable voting for Joe Biden,
I am not one of those people.
I'm leaving my ballot blank in terms of the President.
I voted for no one for President.
Let's get out of here.
This election is not a battle between Republicans
and Democrats.
It's a battle between good and evil,
light and darkness,
righteousness and unrighteousness.
And those of us who say we are conservative Christians,
we will never again have an opportunity
to vote for somebody who believes what we believe
like Donald Trump.
Father, I want to thank you,
your word tells us that you are the one who establishes
rulers of nations and you remove them as well.
Father I believe you have raised up Mr. Trump
for such a time as this?
We will never give up we will never conceded doesn't happen,
you don't concede with his staff.
And after this, we're going to walk down
and I'll be there with you.
We're going to walk down to the Capitol.
There really seems to be these two realities in the country,
one in which President Elect Joe Biden
won the presidency fair and square,
and then another with millions of Americans
who simply will not accept those results.
Thank you for filling this table with patriots that Christ,
divine omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent
toward God for blessing.
Every one of us now.
There could be nothing more different
from the pro life movement than what they did
at the capitol that day?
Did I miss judge the man?
And would we do anything differently?
If we knew who he was?
I think that you're never going to know you're
never going to parse out every single piece of
what a person is.
But I do know that because of him,
we have a completely different Supreme Court.
And that for the first time since 1973,
we can actually look at saving millions of lives
moving forward.
And so I'm going to take the good with
the bad in the situation, knowing that there's nothing
I could do any differently.
You make the best decision you can make given what's
on the table at the time you make that decision.
With all the facts on the table between Hillary Clinton and him,
we absolutely made the right decision without question.
This past President believed in principles
that transcended him.
He didn't just check it off and say, okay,
he led and as many times the vice president I joke,
he actually fulfilled more promises than he even made,
which he keeps reminding me is mathematically impossible.
And yet he did.
He did so.
So where did it go wrong?
It went wrong and the nature of being a human being I think,
well, thank you for the extra job here.
We're still in a stronger position than we ever have been
at any other election anytime since Roe vs. Wade,
because of the revolution in the court
system in our nation.
That is the big prize that we fought for.
The strength and the new power of the pro life movement
is really lighting a fire in legislatures
all over the country.
And for us, that is mission central.
That's why we do what we do.
There is a battleground in the courts.
What the antis have done is they have transformed
the courts with abandon, which could be the constitutional
end of Roe 2020 really marks that full cycle turn right?
Almost 50 years from when I was born,
the very rights that I have leveraged
to exist in this world today.
My children may I grow up with them.
Every time they overreach, we fight back.
The arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends towards justice.
And sometimes we need to jump up and hang on that arc
and bending ourselves.
And that's exactly what you're going to do
until we are free.
Thank you.
Texas abortion law is in effect today
after the Supreme Court failed to block it by midnight.
Women now as a practical matter can't get abortions
after six weeks.
The law authorizes, everyday citizens literally
anyone to bring a lawsuit for thousands of dollars in damages.
Anybody could bring one of these suits against
a provider or an Uber driver who takes a woman somewhere.
This law and Roe can't coexist.
We used to be a very busy clinic,
we're seeing a tiny fraction of the patients we once did.
And the majority of patients we see
we aren't able to help.
That used to be a rare occurrence to meet someone
and have to tell them I'm sorry, I can't help you.
It used to be the worst part of my job and
hardly ever came up but now it's every day.
It's never easy to be an abortion provider in Texas.
We are already required to do an ultrasound
we're required to see something on the ultrasound
which doesn't happen until five weeks.
And so we can't do an abortion before five weeks.
And now they put on this requirement
that we can't do an abortion after a heartbeat is detected
which is like five weeks and five days so there's like
three or four days of a pregnancy in which someone
is capable of getting an abortion now,
that's not like oh, you have six weeks now
you've got like four days.
You get all the way until and how far along
she was if she didn't want to schedule
Okay, so you are 5.5 today with
what are called fetal heart tones.
And so they are practice heartbeats,
is not a real heartbeat.
And so it's going to be illegal.
The fetal heart tones can develop really like
anywhere between five and six weeks
and so sometimes it does happen.
Let me get you over to our sonographer.
One moment.
Yeah I'll talk to her, she's just not getting it.
Yeah she doesn't understand why she can't have it.
I wish people knew how often I hear the words,
I never thought I'd be in this position.
There's nothing that should really be political about
being able to get help from someone you trust.
I see just as many conservative as liberal patients,
I see patients who are the ones picketing outside
and then they get pregnant and for you know,
it's clear to them when it happens to them
that this pregnancy needs to end and they take care of it.
And we take care of them.
Yeah, just what she gets.
It's extremely cruel what the state is doing to these people.
What we have to tell people is we see cardiac activity.
There's nothing we can do to help you,
there's nothing anyone in the state can do to help you.
Did I have another patient waiting for me?
This only applies to clinics in Texas,
you can get an abortion elsewhere,
but a lot of our patients, it may well be Mars
that they'd have to go to to get the abortion,
there's no way they can do it.
And so then this person is forced to remain pregnant
against their will.
And that's always heartbreaking.
This law is blatantly unconstitutional.
We are really feeling that impact of Trump's ability
to appoint a lot of judges to federal courts.
Texas is a place in which the anti abortion groups
test out their strategies then take nationally.
This is not a Texas problem,
this is an American problem.
Okay.
All right.
Let's do a quick read.
I'll keep up with you.
Okay, great.
Hello, I'm Marjorie Dannenfelser,
president of the Susan B. Anthony list.
I wish to speak about the state of the unborn
and the future of the pro life movement.
We will not flinch.
These battles are tough, but we are winning the war.
Three Supreme Court justices and 230 federal judges later,
we are well positioned to allow states to express
their strong pro life convictions in the law.
Unhindered by Roe vs. Wade
and begin to heal the deep scar on America's soul
that abortion has wrought.
The pro life movement is beautifully resilient,
and we will never ever, ever stop fighting
with your health and God's blessing.
We will not stop
until we restore life as the law of this great land.
Thank you
