00:30Abortion laws without reputation!

00:39Our position is that there should be complete repeal of all abortion laws

00:44so that the individual woman can make her own decision in consultation with her doctor.

00:56Abortion originally was considered a very Catholic issue

00:59and it was a Catholic issue because of the Pope's whole cloth edict

01:04that essentially said that it was improper to interfere with God's plan

01:08by using hormonal birth control, by using abortion,

01:12and that every baby must be protected.

02:27Right now we're asking the Senators to focus on a bill that is

02:31strictly a bill that offers funding restrictions,

02:33and most of those funding restrictions are already current law

02:36by the appropriation writers that we have achieved each year,

02:39commonly referred to as the Hyde Amendment.

02:55A lot of what brought evangelicals into the movement

02:59wasn't even necessarily the idea of abortion itself,

03:02it was that they decided that they needed to get politically involved

03:05because they were feeling that they were under attack after segregation ended.

03:10It's said that if every member of the Congress could see this film of an early abortion,

03:15the Congress would move quickly to end the tragedy of abortion,

03:19and I pray that they will.

03:46I was very pleased that informed consent,

03:48which is backed by an overwhelming majority of Americans,

03:51parental consent, as well as waiting periods before abortions,

03:55was upheld by the high court.

03:59Abortion laws without reputation!

04:05I lied and I'm sorry. I repented.

04:08And what can I say? I love Jesus and I love all Jews. Thank you.

04:19Pictures shown of Jews stacked like cordwood in Auschwitz and Dachau.

04:24We saw those pictures and they were shocking, but they were the truth.

04:28It was important that we would see them so that we would never do that again.

04:32These days, what we're trying to do is hide behind a word called choice

04:37and never put a picture to that word.

04:39Well, what we're doing is putting a picture to that word.
