Heartbeat Bill Debate
00:06:33
|
|
| We met a young lady a few months ago now, maybe a couple months ago, has it been since we had the roundtable. | |
| We were at Rick Joinert's roundtable. | |
| Yes. | |
| And she has introduced a bill that a heartbeat bill, H.R. 490, that has the potential of ending abortion in the United States of America. | |
| And it's America. | |
| And so. | |
| They've been told it's a glob. | |
| They go into Planned Parenthood and they say that's a glob. | |
| That's a glob of cells. | |
| And they don't tell you about that baby's beating heart and fingers and toes and all the rest. | |
| And we saw that power not only in Ohio when we introduced the first heartbeat bill, we brought in, and you'll like this, we brought in the youngest to ever testify. | |
| So we brought in a mobile ultrasound, and we showed that baby to the committee right there in the committee hearing, and we did it in Congress as well. | |
| And what's interesting is the pro-aborts went wild. | |
| They hated it. | |
| I said, isn't it sad that to defend your position, you have to deny science. | |
| Just showing that baby on the ultrasound, we know, saved at least one life. | |
| Then we saw it in Congress. | |
| We brought in the youngest to ever testify in Congress, an 18-week baby, baby Lincoln. | |
| And what's interesting is when we brought that baby in on the ultrasound, even the protesters, the room was, you know, Tom, the room was completely silent. | |
| Well, they were disruptive and they were angry. | |
| But when that baby's heart was beating and the members of Congress were looking at that screen, the room was silent and one of the protesters was seen wiping her eyes. | |
| And I thought, if that baby's heartbeat can reach even the hardest of hearts, it can reach America. | |
| That's right. | |
| And when we introduced the bill, we did a poll, and we did a national barna poll last year, and we found, and here's the question. | |
| If a doctor is able to detect the heartbeat of an unborn baby, that baby should be legally protected. | |
| And guess what? | |
| We found seven out of ten in America saying yes. | |
| There's something magical about heartbeat. | |
| They get it. | |
| They understand that is the universal significance. | |
| Out of 10. | |
| 7 out of 10. | |
| And 86 percent of Republicans, and are you ready for this? | |
| I'm glad you're sitting down, because 55 percent of Democrats favor the heartbeat bill becoming law. | |
| Wow. | |
| This is the most out. | |
| I've never seen a bill that's protective. | |
| You know what's great about this? | |
| The people that are viewing this right now, they say, well, what can I do to help? | |
| I'm not going to storm the hill like Tom DeLay. | |
| I don't have those connections, but you know what? | |
| You can click one button on your website and send a fax to Speaker Paul Ryan, who is not only his D.C. office, but his three district offices. | |
| We're going to pay for him, so it costs you nothing. | |
| You click a button, and we send the fax so that Paul Ryan, who's just announced that he's going to be leaving office after the election, he doesn't have to live with regret that Tom DeLay's lived with, right? | |
| Exactly right. | |
| It goes deeper than that. | |
| We've run into some obstacles. | |
| And frankly, the obstacles are the pro-life movement. | |
| The National Right to Life opposes the heartbeat bill. | |
| Okay. | |
| That in itself. | |
| Explain that to me. | |
| You've just shocked everybody right now. | |
| It's appalling. | |
| And I'll give you a little bit of a basic shocks me, but it honestly don't because it's religion that killed Jesus. | |
| So let's go on. | |
| Well, let me give you just a little bit of history, if I may, just to give you, because for eight years, the ones we were fighting to try and get it through in Ohio, it wasn't Planned Parenthood we were fighting. | |
| It wasn't NARAL. | |
| It was Ohio Right to Life. | |
| I used to be their legislative director. | |
| Dr. Willkie, the founder of National Right to Life and Ohio Right to Life, actually resigned from Ohio Right to Life to join our effort before he passed away to pass the Heartbeat Bill. | |
| You've heard of fake news. | |
| Why? | |
| Well, let me explain. | |
| You've heard of fake news, right? | |
| Sure. | |
| Well, there are some fake, I'm going to tell you something, and I didn't want to have to say this, but there are some fake pro-life groups. | |
| And why do I say that? | |
| Because you cannot, Ohio Right to Life actually called, when we finally passed the bill in December of 2016, Ohio Right to Life called for Governor Kasich to veto the nation's most protective pro-life bill. | |
| You cannot be a legitimate pro-life group and call for a veto of the most protective pro-life bill in the country. | |
| And yes, John Kasich heartlessly vetoed that bill. | |
| He cannot claim to be a pro-lifer ever again. | |
| And so that's what's happening. | |
| Now we're facing an agenda. | |
| Oh, well, you know, the court's not ready. | |
| We better not try because we might fail. | |
| That's absolutely absurd. | |
| I mean, y'all, hello, we won the election. | |
| I mean, people realize Donald Trump has promised, and he is already appointing pro-life judges to fill the vacancies on the Supreme Court. | |
| We're coming in. | |
| You better not do it because you may fail, is the worst. | |
| And the National Right to Life is saying you're going too far too fast. | |
| It's been 45 years. | |
| 60 million babies have died. | |
| That's right. | |
| And National Right to Life says we're very successful as an organization because we've gotten abortions down to just a million a year. | |
| A million babies a year. | |
| The point here is that Paul Ryan, the Speaker, will not allow us a vote on the floor of the House on the Heartbeat Bill because National Right to Life will not endorse the bill. | |
| And so they are blocking us. | |
| He gave them a veto. | |
| We have well over 200 organizations and leaders supportive this. | |
| The American people are supportive this. | |
| We've got 170 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, the most co-sponsors of any pro-life bill in the House, ready to go to the floor and vote and pass this out of the House. | |
| We can get to the Senate when we get to the Senate. | |
| We can pass it in the Senate. | |
| The Senate just passed a pro-well, actually, it failed because of the 60-vote rule that they have, and I won't get down in the weeds. | |
| They can waive any time they want, like any new Supreme Court nominee. | |
| But they had 51 votes for a paying-capable bill, 51 votes in the Senate, which tells you that this will get at least 51, if not more, in the Senate if they get rid of the 60-vote rule. | |
| And then it goes to the President and he signs it. | |
| It is all set up and ready to go, yet we cannot get Paul Ryan to schedule the bill to vote in the House. | |
| And that's why we're here today. | |
| We can send your best, each one of your viewers can push a button and send the facts to the Speaker of the House, urging him to have a vote on H.R. 490 in the House. | |
| It is time for Christians to stand up and stop abortion and quit listening to the naysayers. | |

Driving Law Before Year's End
00:00:21
|
|
| And we can pass this bill. | |
| And frankly, we can pass it with God's help. | |
| And I think he's driving this. | |
| I know he's driving this. | |
| We can have this as law before the year is out. | |
| That's right. | |
| It's incredible. | |
