All right, so we got some chance about ending abortion and loving Jesus.
But yet, what's weird is we don't see any of the media here.
I'm Elijah Schaefer here with another episode of Slightly Offensive.
We are at the March for Life 2019 in Los Angeles County, and we're going to talk to some of these ralliers to see what it is they stand for, what it is they believe in, and what they want to see happen.
We hope you enjoy the show.
All right, so we just got back from the Woman's March.
What sets this march apart from that?
I would say this march is a selfless march.
unidentified
This is one of the only marches we're seeing people not marching for their own rights, but for the rights of others.
Why is the emphasis of women's rights centered upon abortion?
unidentified
It's really unfortunate because I think that abortion clinics, especially Planned Parenthood, they're trying to sell their agenda, and that's what they're focused on is making money.
So they market it as a choice centered around abortion, but really what they're focused on is making a profit through abortion.
Yeah, so at the Women's March, there's a lot of signs going on about a woman's right to choose, and people are saying if you don't have a uterus, then you have no right to comment on the issue.
unidentified
What's your view on that?
I mean, it's a pretty silly proposition because it means that you generalize it across any other issue.
Just because you don't have something or you haven't had that experience, you can't help someone.
So, for example, like, let's just pick in a concrete example.
I'm not a drug addict, I've never had a drug addiction, but can I help someone with drug addiction just because I don't have one?
Why do you think basically society has a hard time confronting the truth about what abortion is?
unidentified
I think that it's not necessarily that society has a hard time confronting the truth.
I think that those in power who are kind of advocating for these pro-choice agendas make it extremely convincing because they're focused on what they're focused on is getting people emotionally invested without really giving them any facts, let alone educating them fully.
You know, you never would have known that there was this many people that are pro-life in Los Angeles.
Because if you listen to the media, it basically makes it sound like everybody here is for one agenda.
And it's so bizarre how the media can spin things to make it sound like there's only one narrative when there's always an opposing side.
And I'm not against people having their own views on matters, but when you don't give representation to share the other side, that could be an actual issue.
And when it comes to abortion, we know which side is given the most limelight, and that's the agenda that's for it.
Hi, are you guys, just so I know, because it's a pro-life march, is this an organization against capital punishment?
What is stopping a young person without an understanding of the issue from getting an abortion?
unidentified
I think a lot of the times if it has to, the family is faith base, that itself can encourage a child not to have an abortion if they are pregnant.
Support from the family, although many times if you are young, you may have that fear that you want to abort, but at the end, knowing that God will protect you, God will guide you, God will give you that strength that you need to continue life.
Despite what society says, that it is a problem, it is an issue.
It stops you from growing, it stops you from living your life.
And I think that just having praying, having that faith, having that support system if you are growing up in a Catholic faith or in a Christian faith, anything God-based, even those that don't, there might be other people around them that have a great support system to encourage them to give life.
When you typed in abortion on YouTube recently, you could obviously see videos of people who are against abortion.
Some groups reached out to YouTube about how this was not a good thing.
YouTube re-manually changed the algorithms so that the videos that you look up when you look up abortion are pro-abortion.
What do you think about that kind of interjection of controlling the narrative on the matter?
unidentified
Oh, I think it's outrageous.
I think that it's complete brainwashing.
I think that it's ridiculous that we are in a country where we're supposed to be advocating for free speech, and yet we have these major companies censoring anything that comes against their agenda, which is forcing the idea of making pro-choice pro-women, which is ridiculous.
What would happen if your mom chose to have an abortion?
I wouldn't have been happy.
Would you not be happy?
Well, I couldn't have even had a choice to be happy.
You could be here talking on this mic, would you?
Right, so think about that.
Okay, so some people tend to try to tie pro-life issues with immigration issues, and they like to say, how can you say you're pro-life when you're not pro-illegal immigrant?
What's your perspective on that argument?
unidentified
Well, I think they're different subjects, but again, we have a responsibility as Catholics to encounter and welcome the stranger.
