"I don't think Christians should impose their beliefs on others, That's why we need Christian laws." Even if I agreed with this nonsense, that thinking makes no sense.
-
I know it's an old argument, but the guy at the start says he wants to 'fight for the defenceless' so I'd ask if he will continue to fight for these fetuses once they become children, to make sure they don't live in poverty, get health care - you know all this but just needed to say it once again.
-
It's kind of terrifying when faced with the realities of the situation their response is, "just pray about it." If the mother and/or fetus ends up passing away, then it was a god's plan for that to happen. If the fetus manages to live but has life long complications, it was god's plan for that to happen. If the fetus survives but the mother dies, it was god's plan for that to happen. Meanwhile, apparently if the mother had alternative plans they are irrelevant.

Few things as gross as telling someone with a life threatening illness that the solution isnt medical intervention, its ~ to pray ~
-
the people who said that praying is gonna save those women's lives should never go to the hospital ever again, because with that logic they can cure themselves by praying.
-
It's wild to me how few Americans have their facts straight about their founding fathers. They were progressive thinkers (for the time - I know, I know) who were didn't believe that religion had a place in government
-
"She's loved and supported, just not in the one specific way that will actually support her in staying alive"
-
How about these people put as much effort into laws and efforts to reduce the occurrence of rapes and acts where the unwanted pregnancy was created through violence?
-
Imagine fighting against your own rights
-
4:32 For those overlooking the simplistic solutions and seem to have no real idea what actual families go through, here’s the time stamp to “Just Pray”.
-
They don’t wanna terminate the pregnancy but they don’t wanna do anything for raising the unwanted child. Kind of sad. These women don’t have health insurance so they can’t pay for prenatal care they can’t pay for delivery care they can’t pay to raise their child hypocrisy of these individuals is astounding 1:31
-
this is so embarassing
-
Why don't these anti abortion people focus on contraception, which can prevent abortions,if they are so gung ho about ending abortion!?
-
6:16 girl, I’m a Christian too but you can’t say the country they are in was founded as Christian when the land was taken from the indigenous!
-
So...if politically the country doesn't abide by your beliefs, political rallies, and marches, (actual physical and social actions) are necessary ways to change things. But if a woman is caught in a life-or-death situation...prayer's enough. Why is prayer (a supernatural action) selectively effective?
-
How many of these people have ever had an extended conversation with someone who has terminated a pregnancy?
-
My niece has asked me to accompany her to have an abortion next week.(And no, I'm not the father.) She's only seventeen and not ready for a child. Fortunately, we live in a blue state where the choice is still hers.
-
they really should fight to take care of all abandoned kids. instead of forcing their ideas on others.
-
“I don’t mean to impose my beliefs on anyone but I’m here advocating to impose my beliefs on everyone” 😂
-
That girl right at the beginning who said "abortion is the greatest injustice to ever happen to women in all of human history".... how much of the world have you seen, really? also, why don't they pray hard for poverty to end?
