>>THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
HAS PASSED A BILL THAT WOULD BAN
ABORTION AFTER 20 WEEKS, AND
THERE'S ONE NUMBER OF THE HOUSE
WHO WAS, BY VOTING FOR IT, MADE
A TOTAL HYPOCRITE.
FIRST WE WILL
TELL YOU ABOUT THE BILL --
>>IT WOULD JUST FOCUS ON THE
PHYSICIANS WHO PERFORMED THE
ABORTION, THE IDEA BEING AFTER
20 WEEKS THE FETUS CAN FEEL
PAIN, RESPOND TO SOUNDS, ETC.
PEOPLE WHO ARE ANTIABORTION SAY
THIS REDUCES THE CRUELTY OF
LATE-TERM ABORTIONS, PEOPLE WHO
ARE PRO-CHOICE SAY THAT THIS IS
A REDUCTION IN THE AVAILABILITY
AND SAFETY OF LEGAL ABORTION IN
AMERICA.
THERE IS ONE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM PENNSYLVANIA
WHO VOTED FOR THE BAN, HIS NAME
IS TIM MURPHY, BUT THE
PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE LOOKED
AT RECORDS FROM HIS DIVORCE AND
FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS AFFAIR WITH
A WOMAN NAMED SHANNON EDWARDS
AND HERE ARE THE DETAILS FROM
THAT.
>>MM-HM.
PLEASE TELL ME --
>>IT CONTINUES --
>>IT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER
POLITICIAN WHO FORCED HIS
MISTRESS TO HAVE ABORTIONS, IT
HAPPENS TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
FIRST LET ME ADDRESS LATE-TERM
ABORTIONS.
WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF
TIME, BUT LATE-TERM ABORTIONS
DON'T HAPPEN OFTEN, AND WHEN
THEY DO HAPPEN IT'S BECAUSE THE
MOTHER'S LIFE IS AT RISK, OR THE
FETUS IS SO SEVERELY, UM, YOU
KNOW --
>>COMPROMISED, OR HAS BIRTH
DEFECTS.
>>THE BIRTH DEFECTS ARE SO
SEVERE THAT THERE'S NO OTHER
CHOICE BUT TO MISCARRY, OR HAVE
AN ABORTION.
PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT
MAKE THIS AN ISSUE WHEN IN
REALITY IT'S NOT, THEY JUST WANT
TO SLOWLY BUT SURELY CHIP AWAY
AT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BECAUSE
THEIR ARGUMENT IS YOU BELIEVE IN
PROTECTING LIFE.
IF YOU REALLY
WORRY ABOUT PROTECTING LIFE,
NEARLY 60 PEOPLE JUST GOT
MURDERED IN LAS VEGAS, DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE
THOSE WERE LIVES THAT WERE LOST
BECAUSE OF YOUR INACTION.
BUT
WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE OF
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IT'S NOT
ABOUT PROTECTING LIFE.
WHAT IT
IS REALLY ABOUT IS EITHER
PUNISHING WOMEN THAT YOU FEEL
SHOULDN'T BE SEXUALLY LIBERATED,
OR CONTROLLING WOMEN, OR
PANDERING TO YOUR
RELIGIOUS-BASED.
OTHER THAN
THAT, OTHER THAN YOU TRYING TO
LOOK FOR POLITICAL BROWNIE
POINTS, THAT'S ALL IT IS.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS,
IF YOU REALLY BELIEVED THAT
ABORTION IS KILLING HUMAN LIVES,
WHY ARE YOU ASKING YOUR MISTRESS
TO HAVE AN ABORTION?
THEY ARE DISCUSSING HYPOCRITES.
ANYWAY, GO AHEAD.
>>I FEEL THE SAME WAY, I FEEL
LIKE I WAS JUST LOOKING ABOUT
THAT.
WERE YOU TAKING ACTION TO
MAKE SURE PEOPLE'S LIVES
CONTINUE?
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HERE?
I THINK IS A WOMAN IT'S
EXHAUSTING -- IT FEELS LIKE THE
FUCKING HANDMAID'S TALE IS
COMING TO LIFE, WE ARE HAVING TO
FIGHT FOR BASIC RIGHTS, WE
ARE TRYING TO GET PAID AND
FIGHT FOR OUR BODIES.
THIS IS JUST ONE GUY WHO GOT
BUSTED AND EXPOSED, HE'S
ONE OF MANY.
>>ONE THING I SUGGEST PEOPLE
READ, IT'S CALLED I CARRY MY
GRIEF IN A VISIBLE BUMP, DON'T
BAN ABORTION FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME,
IT WAS WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO
THE OHIO HEARTBEAT BILL,
READ IT.
