NEARLY A WEEK AFTER THE WOMEN'S MARCH WHICH TOOK PLACE IN
MANY MAJOR CITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
AND MEN GOT TOGETHER TO MARCH IN A PRO-LIFE PROTEST IN DC.
THIS IS AN ANNUAL PROTEST THAT TAKES PLACE IN FOR THE
FIRST TIME EVER, THE VICE PRESIDENT DECIDED TO SHOW
UP AND SPEAK TO THE CROWD.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU A FEW MORE DETAILS ON WHAT THE PEOPLE
WHO WENT TO THIS PROTEST WANT TO SPECIFICALLY BUT BEFORE I
DO SO, LET'S HEAR FROM OUR VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE.
OUR SUPREME COURT TURNED AWAY FROM THE FIRST OF THESE TIMELESS
IDEALS, BUT TODAY, THREE GENERATIONS HENCE, BECAUSE OF
ALL OF YOU IN THE MANY THOUSANDS WHO STAND WITH US IN MARCH IS
LIKE THIS ALL ACROSS THE NATION, LIFE IS WINNING AGAIN.
IN AMERICA.
LOOK, AS HE READ INTO THE STORY AND YOU READ INTO
WHAT CONSERVATIVES WANT AND WHAT MIKE PENCE AND DONALD TRUMP
ARE LIKELY TO DO, IT IS VERY WORRYING FOR THOSE WHO WANT
TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BULIMIC VISA MORE DETAILS.
MIKE PENCE APPARENTLY PROMISED THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD
NOT ONLY IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ABORTIONS AND ABORTION
PROVIDERS, HE WOULD NAME A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO
WOULD UPHOLD THE GOD-GIVEN LIBERTIES ENSHRINED IN THE
CONSTITUTION THAT I'M GOING TO STOP FOR A SECOND AND GIVE
YOU SOME DETAILS ON WHAT IS NOT ACCURATE IN THAT STATEMENT.
1ST OF ALL, FEDERAL MONEY, TAXPAYER MONEY DOES NOT GO
TOWARD ABORTIONS.
IN FACT, THERE IS SOMETHING KNOWN AS THE HYDE AMENDMENT
WHICH LITERALLY BANDS THAT FROM HAPPENING.
IS USUALLY A TALKING POINT THAT YOU HEAR FROM REPUBLICAN OR
CONSERVATIVE LAWMAKERS AND THEY INTENTIONALLY USE THAT TYPE
OF LANGUAGE TO MISLEAD YOU TO THINK THAT IF YOU ARE SOMEONE
WHO HAS SOME MORAL ISSUE WITH REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD
BE WORRIED BECAUSE YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY IS GOING TO ABORTIONS.
IT IS NOT.
DO SOME OF THAT MONEY GO TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE
ABORTION AS ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THEY DO?
YES, HOWEVER THAT MONEY IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED FOR
ABORTION SPECIFICALLY AND ORGANIZATIONS LIKE PLANNED
PARENTHOOD GET AUDITED ON A REGULAR BASIS JUST TO
ENSURE THAT OUR TAXPAYER MONEY DOES NOT GO TOWARD
ABORTIONS I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILSÖ TRUMP OF COURSE TWEETED
AFTER THESE PROTESTS TOOK PLACE AND HE SAID THE MARCH FOR
LIFE IS SO IMPORTANT.
TO ALL OF YOU MARCHING, YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT.
SHOULDN'T HE BE USING THE PRESIDENTS TWITTER ACCOUNT
AT THIS POINT?
KNOW THEY LOCK THEM OUT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
THEY LOCK HIM OUT.
TWILIGHT HOURS.
WHENEVER THE VAMPIRES CAN GO AROUND, THAT IS WHEN HE IS
LOCKED OUT.
HE IS CRYPTO STILLER.
I DO KNOW THAT WORDS MEAN, PETER SHOWED YOUR STANFORD
A GREAT DEGREE RIGHT THERE.
I LEARNED THAT FROM ARCHER.
LITTLE CAT IS CORPUSCULAR.
THAT'S THE THING, IT'S SO WEIRD THAT THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND
OF THING THAT HE WOULD TWEET OUT FROM HIS OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNT.
IT IS VERY WEIRD.
WHAT MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT THIS IS THIS SO BLATANT APPARENT
IRONY WHENEVER A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN OR A VICE PRESIDENT
OR THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP COMES OUT AND SAYS MAN WE ARE SO
PRO-LIFE, WE ARE ON BOARD WITH LIFE EXCEPT, THIS IS RESTATING A
CLICH…, BUT REPUBLICANS DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU ONCE YOU
ARE OUT OF THE WOMB APPARENTLY GOT RIGHT UP TO THAT POINT
THEY'RE LIKE OH MY GOD, WE NEED TO PRESERVE THESE VALUES AND
MAKE SURE THAT BABIES ARE NOT DYING LEFT AND RIGHT BECAUSE
HILLARY CLINTON WANTED TO ABORT FETUSES THE DAY BEFORE THE
PREGNANCY, THE DAY BEFORE THE BABY WAS ABOUT TO POP OUT
BASICALLY BUT THEN ONCE THE BABY IS OUT, FLOCK HIM.
THIS IS VERY SELECTIVE FREEDOM.
TEA LEAF READING.
ESSENTIALLY WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY IS AT THE END OF THE
ELECTION, HAVING DONALD TRUMP WHEN THE ELECTION THAT
MEANS THAT THE MANDATE OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT IS SO
STRONG THAT THE ENTIRE NATION IS BEHIND HIM.
WHAT IT IS EVERYONE'S JOB TO DO IS TO POINT OUT HOW
RIDICULOUS THAT IS.
THE MAERSK POLL THAT JUST RECENTLY CAME OUT SAID THAT
THE ONLY SUBSECTION, THE ONLY GENERATION THAT FAVORS
PRO-LIFE OVER PRO-CHOICE AS PEOPLE 69 AND OVER.
THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AND JUST A STRAIGHT UP MAJORITY OF
LIVING BREATHING HUMAN BEINGS AGREE AND BELIEVE IN THE
PRO-CHOICE MOVEMENT TALK
I WILL GIVE YOU EVEN MORE NUMBERS ON THAT BECAUSE
THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS POLES THAT KIND OF LOOK INTO THIS
ISSUE AND CONSERVATIVES WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE ACTUALLY AGAINST
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
QUINNIPIAC WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO BE A LIBERAL ORGANIZATION
WHATSOEVER DID A POLL, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RELEASING
POLES THAT HAPPENED AND WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THAT 70%
OF VOTERS AGREE WITH THE SUPREME COURT'S 1973 RULING IN ROE V
WADE WHICH ESSENTIALLY LEGALIZED ABORTION IN THE COUNTRY.
70%.
WHAT YOU SAW IN THE WOMEN'S MARCH WAS HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN, MILLIONS, 2.9 MILLION.
750 IN LOS ANGELES ALONG WITH ESTIMATION.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE LOS ANGELES PROTEST ALONE.
I THINK YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT TRUMP'S INAUGURATION
SPEECH WHEN YOU SAID TENS OF THOUSANDS.
IS HARD TO REMEMBER ALL THESE NUMBERS.
THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING THE WOMEN'S MARCH BACK INTO THE
STORY IS BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY HAD MILLIONS OF MEN AND
WOMEN MARCHING TO PROTECT ALL SORTS OF THINGS BUT
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS WERE AMONG THE MANY THINGS.
FUNNY ENOUGH, THERE WERE OF COURSE LOTS OF DIFFERENT CHANCE
LIKE MY BODY, MY CHOICE AND THEN PEOPLE WOULD STOP CHANTING AFTER
A WHILE BECAUSE I KIND OF GETS REPETITIVE AND SO WE CAME UP
WITH A CHANCE AND IT WAS DON'T BE A WAS SEE, POWER TO THE
PUSSY AND NO ONE WANTED TO CHAT WITH US.
7 A SIDE NOTE THAT
I THINK THAT IS PRETTY GOOD.
IT'S FUN, IT'S POWERFUL.
I WAS AFRAID TO SAY PUSSY LATER AND I CHANGED IT TO WAS INSTEAD
A PLACE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID BUT NOW I AM VERY EMPOWERED.
KNOW WHEN SHANNON ALONG WITH YOU, BUT I SUPPORT YOU.
THIS PROCESS WERE GIGANTIC.
THERE WAS A G SENT TURNOUT FOR THIS, COUPLE THOUSAND
PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER TO VOICE THEIR OPINION.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US.
LET ME FINISH MY POINT.
WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS HONESTLY A SYMBOL OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS DEBATE.
YOU HAVE THE WOMEN'S MARCH WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WANTING
TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN ANY OF THE PRO-LIFE
MOVEMENT OR I LIKE TO CALL THE ANTI-CHOICE MOVEMENT AND
YOU HAVE A WAY SMALLER GROUP OF PEOPLE IN HERE IS THE
THING, YOUR RELIGIOUS MORALS ARE FINE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T
ALLOW THOSE, WE DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT
DICTATES OUR LIVES BASED ON ONE GROUP'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
RIGHT, GET UP THERE STILL AN IMPLICIT WORLD CODE IN THE
LAW AND SO THESE PEOPLE ARE SAYING, REGARDLESS OF MY
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS I BELIEVE THAT LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.
THE FACT IS, IT IS LEGAL TO DO ALL THE STUFF THAT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD DOES AND IF YOU LOOK AT MIKE PENCE'S STATEMENT, IS A
CAREFULLY WORDED. IT IS TRYING TO GET A WEDGE IN AND SEPARATED
THOUGHT HE SAID TRUMP IS THE FIRST PERSON WHO SAYS WE ARE
GOING TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL FOR FEDERAL MONEY TO GO TO
ABORTION WHICH AS ANA POINTS OUT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.
THE NEXT THING HE SAYS IS AND ABORTION PROVIDERS AND THAT
IS WHERE HE IS TRYING TO GET INTO PLANNED PARENTHOOD,
WHAT IS IT LIKE 97% OF WHAT THEY DO IS WOMEN'S HEALTH ORIENTED.
JUST THINGS LIKE PAP SMEARS AND GENERAL HEALTH CARE FOR
WOMEN WHO CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ELSE.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
IF YOU ELIMINATE THE FUNDING TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD, IT IS
GOING TO BE HARDER FOR WOMEN IN GENERAL TO FIND THE KIND OF
HEALTHCARE THAT THEY NEED ESPECIALLY WHEN THE NEXT
LOOMING INITIATIVE THAT TRUMP HAS LAID OUT FOR AMERICA,
DEFINED AND REPLACED IF WE HAVE TIME OBAMACARE TALK
IT IS NOT EVEN ABOUT HAVING TIME, THEY DON'T HAVE AN
INTEREST IN REPLACING OBAMA CARE.
THEY HAVEN'T SHARED ANY IDEAS.
THE ONLY IDEA THAT THEY HAD SHARED WAS MAYBE WE WILL HAVE
SOME OF THESE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS THAT WILL BE PRE-TAXED.
GOOD LUCK AFFORDING ONE OF THOSE.
THAT IS NOT A HEALTH CARE PLAN.
IT IS CERTAINLY NOT ROBUST.
I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN CLEAR
THAT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT PUBLIC OPINION THAT MUCH.
THEY KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH IDEAS THAT ARE ACTUALLY
INCREDIBLY UNPOPULAR, AND LOOK, RIGHT NOW HE HAS THE
ABILITY TO NOMINATE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO WILL BE
EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE AND HE HAS BEEN CLEAR ABOUT THE
FACT THAT HE WILL CHOOSE SOMEONE JUST BASED ON THAT ALONE.
HE KEEPS SAYING IT IS GOING TO RESEMBLE ANTONIN SCALIA.
BUT IT WON'T.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND THIS ENTIRE LIST OF POTENTIAL
NOMINEES IS SCALIA WAS A SCHOLAR AND A GEEK.
HE WAS A FUNNY SUPERSMART PERSON.
I DISAGREE WITH HIS CONCLUSIONS AND METHODS BUT AT LEAST HE
WAS REALLY INTO LAW.
A LOT OF THESE FOLKS ARE POLITICAL CLIMBERS.
THEY ARE THE MAYOR CARCETTI OF WHATEVER THEY ARE, FROM THE WIRE.
JUST ANGLING TO GET, TO MAKE THE FRIENDLY DECISIONS THAT
INGRATIATE THEM WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EVENTUALLY GOING TO
BE MAKING SUPREME COURT NOMINATIONS AND THAT IS
WHAT IS SO TROUBLING THAT HE WILL SAY IT IS ANTONIN SCALIA
BECAUSE TO THE AN INFORMED OBSERVER, THAT IS JUST ANOTHER
CONSERVATIVE JUDGE BUT YOU WONíT HAVE THAT KIND OF PERSON
WITH A PASSION FOR THE LAW THAT HE HAD, GOD REST HIS SOUL.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.
I DID NOT AGREE WITH EVERY RULING THAT HE MADE, BUT THERE
WAS AT LEAST SOME LEVEL OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR.
I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE AN IS DESCENDING, THERE WAS A
LOT OF CONFLICTING STATEMENTS SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE
LBGT ISSUE.
I AM JUST SAYING YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A DUMB IDIOT
AS A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO ISN'T EVEN GOING TO DRAW ON
ENOUGH REFERENCES TO THE LAW.
ALL I AM SAYING IS, IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS IF
YOU HAD LET'S SAY HILLARY CLINTON AS PRESIDENT AND
SHE APPOINTED A DUMB IDIOT THAT WAS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND
EVENTUALLY MORE PROGRESSIVE LAWS WERE PASSED, WE WOULDN'T BE
SITTING HERE, WE'D BE LIKE, THAT IS A DUMB IDIOT BUT AT
LEAST THERE IS SOME PROGRESS BEING MADE. MAYBE THIS
DUMB IDIOT WON'T BE MEGA CONSERVATIVE AND IS JUST A
CLIMBER SO THEIR OPINION COULD BE CHANGED.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON STATE-BY-STATE BECAUSE
THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY SOME PUSH FOR A FEDERAL BAN ON ABORTION
BUT DIFFERENT STATES ARE DOING MORE TO RESTRICT ABORTION
THOUGHT CONGRESS, THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FEDERAL
LEVEL AS WELL, CONGRESS HAS ALREADY BEGUN MOVING
ANTIABORTION LEGISLATION ON TUESDAY, THE HOUSE APPROVED
A BILL SPONSORED BY REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS SMITH
REPUBLICAN THAT WOULD PROHIBIT USING SUBSIDIES OR TAX
CREDITS PROVIDED THROUGH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT TO BUY
HEALTH INSURANCE THAT COVERS ABORTION.
IT IS NOT YOU WOULD USE THOSE TAX CREDITS TO PAY FOR YOUR
ABORTION, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THOSE TAX CREDITS
TOWARD UNINSURED OR THAT COVERS ABORTION.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
THINK ABOUT WHAT THEIR ARGUMENTS WERE WHEN PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA WAS TRYING TO GET OBAMA CARE APPROVED.
HE WANTS TO GET IN BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR.
THIS IS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.
THEY JUST WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN SPEND YOUR MONEY ON
OR WHAT YOU CAN SPEND YOUR TAX CREDITS ON AND WHAT
INSURANCE IS OKAY AND WHAT INSURANCE ISN'T OKAY.
IT IS INSANE PTOLEMY GIVE YOU MORE.
SO THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO ONCE THEY SIGNED INTO LAW SAID
THE HOUSE WOULD NEXT TAKE UP LEGISLATION SPONSORED BY
REPRESENTATIVE TRENT FRAKES OF ARIZONA TO BAN ABORTION
AFTER THE FETUS IS ABLE TO FEEL PAIN WHICH ADVOCATES SAY HAPPENS
20 WEEKS AFTER FERTILIZATION.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN DONE ON THE STATE LEVEL AND
NOW ARE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WANT TO DO IT ON FEDERAL LEVEL.
I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU HAVE PLACES LIKE TEXAS THAT HAVE
ALREADY SEVERELY RESTRICTED ABORTION AND NOW THEY ARE
GOING TO GO MUCH FURTHER.
UNCONSTITUTIONALLY THOUGH UP TO THIS POINT AT LEAST.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE NEW SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE, BUT LOOK BRETT YOU ARE A MUCH SMARTER PERSON THAN ME.
YES, THAT IS TRUE.
I WANT TO ASK YOU THIS QUESTION.
I JUST SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FINANCIAL OR
OTHERWISE INCENTIVES THAT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN
MIGHT HAVE AS FAR AS RESTRICTING REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES?
IF WE KNOW IT IS AN UNPOPULAR THING, WHY ARE THEY SO
ADAMANT GETTING THIS ACROSS?
IS IT JUST TO SEEM LIKE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING?
I DON'T KNOW IN EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE.
I THINK IT IS PART OF ANY GIVEN CONSERVATIVE PERSONS COALITION
IS A PRO-LIFE ARM AND SO PAYING BACK TO THEM, IT'S ALSO AN
APPLAUSE LINE.
IF SEEMS PRETTY CLEARLY WITHIN THE PLATFORM AND THERE ARE
A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION THAT IS IN FAVOR
OF RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION.
THAT GOES ANYTHING FROM NOT EIGHT MONTHS IN, THAT IS A
RESTRICTION ON ABORTION.
I THINK A LOT OF REASONABLE PEOPLE LOOK AT IT AND SAY,
WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF
REASONABLE PEOPLE WHO SAY THERE SHOULD BE SOME RESEARCH AND ON
ABORTION BUT THAT IS THE CONVERSATION TO HAVE AFTER
THE SUPREME COURT IS SAID YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ILLEGAL.
