| I think that it's clearly better to be pro-choice because As a Christian, I'm pro-choice because you need to be open to the idea that abortion is not murdering babies, it's providing women with health care. | |
| I don't think that the government has a right to make a law about that as broad as they are making it right now. | |
| What is that law that's broad right now? | |
| I don't know the exact name of the law. | |
| Just want to redraw it. | |
| Okay, perfect. | |
| Five. | |
| Okay, sounds good. | |
| All right, since I have not been able to get many Kamala supporters, you might, yeah, look at it. | |
| I had to knock off some of her sleeves so I could fit all the Trump people. | |
| So what are you asking me why I voted for Kamala? | |
| Yeah, because I haven't talked to many Kamala supporters, so why are you voting for her? | |
| I feel like there's a clear choice on who thinks more rationally and critically and is more qualified to run the country. | |
| And the clear choice is Kamala and Tim Wolse. | |
| Okay. | |
| And can you tell me, in your opinion, do you think most families are better off under Trump's administration or under Biden and Kamala's the three and a half years that we just went through? | |
| Where do you think families would say, yeah, I was better off under? | |
| I feel like it's kind of unfair to compare them because you're... | |
| I feel like it's unfair because Trump had COVID and it was just such different circumstances that both of the presidencies were under that it's kind of unfair to compare them like that. | |
| It's like apples to oranges kind of. | |
| But I feel like most people would say that they were better off under Trump just because of the different circumstances of the world at that time with like COVID and everything. | |
| But I feel like with Kamala's policies of the tax cuts for the families with newborn children or people that are trying to buy homes for the first time, I feel like that is going to do a lot more for people than Trump's tax cuts for the richer upper class. | |
| Okay. | |
| Is that your favorite policy proposal of hers or is there something that you really, as one person on campus put it, vibed with? | |
| Well I'm going to use a different words, but I really think that it's most important that Kamala is advocating for women's rights and women's rights to health care. | |
| As a Christian, there's a lot of turmoil with that right now, people being pro-life or pro-choice. | |
| And I think that it's clearly better to be pro-choice because... | |
| As a Christian I'm pro-choice because you need to be open to the idea that abortion is not murdering babies. | |
| It's providing women with health care because there are like 10,000 different reasons why you would have an abortion and it's not just because you don't want to have a kid. | |
| Okay. | |
| Where do you get those statistics from? | |
| Where do you come up with that opinion? | |
| Because women need abortions if the baby is no longer viable and it's hurting the mother and if the baby is not going to be alive at birth and it's going to kill the mother before the baby is born, then abortion is health care. | |
| And do you think that's the majority of abortions? | |
| I don't, I'm not educated enough to know the exact statistics on how many abortions are that way, but I don't think that the government has a right to make a law about that as broad as they are making it right now. | |
| What is that law that's broad right now? | |
| I don't know the exact name of the law. | |
| There's a federal law? | |
| I'm asking what law you said there's a broad law right now about abortion. | |
| What is that? | |
| Yeah, just the way that the laws are being written right now is that they're not like... | |
| Yes, state by state, state by state, they're making laws that are not giving people the right necessary tools that they need To have an abortion when it's like medically necessary, not just because it's murder. | |
| Okay, would you support banning abortions in all cases except when it's medically necessary? | |
| And in cases of rape and incest. | |
| So, if a mother is just like, I can't support this, I don't, I don't really want to be a mom right now, would you be willing to say you can't? | |
| That's a circumstance that you cannot have an abortion. | |
| I feel like I'm not a medical professional. | |
| I'm not medical. | |
| Yeah, I know what I'm saying. | |
| Not medical. | |
| I'm saying I'm not a medical professional. | |
| I'm not a policymaker. | |
| I'm simply a voter. | |
| And if that were on the ballot, then I would make that choice then. | |
| So, right now, I'm just talking to you person to person. | |
| Would you support a ban on every type of abortion except when it's medically necessary to save the mother's life? | |
| No. | |
| Okay. | |
| So, let's just throw out that argument because you actually support abortions for no matter what reason. | |
| I have to go. | |
| I have class. | |
| I have to go. | |
| Okay. | |
| All right. | |
| So, as a Christian, I'm also a Christian. | |
| Jesus says to love your neighbor as I have loved you. | |
| Of course. | |
| Yes, and Jesus creates life. | |
| He is who gives women their babies. | |
| It's not an accident that he has put them on this earth. | |
| Of course. | |
| And there is no reason that a woman should ever have an abortion. | |
| Number one, there is no medically necessary reason a woman should have an abortion. | |
| That's a lie. | |
| But two, I think it's important because I think someone may have lied to you about what is said about abortion. | |
| Okay, if you don't want to hear it, I'll just continue telling the camera. | |
| That's fine too. | |
| I also, I have class, but also you're asking me about my opinion, so don't tell me that my opinion is a lie. | |
| It was wrong. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Opinions can be wrong, and that's why they're opinions, but facts are that, especially the Catholic Church, which I am so grateful that the Catholic Church is very, very clear about their stance on abortion. | |
| We do not allow it. | |
| We do not accept it. | |
| We do not want that anywhere among our women. | |
| One, because the Catholic Church cares deeply for life, from conception until natural death, number one. | |
| And we always have. | |
| We have the longest track record for that. | |
| Go Catholics. | |
| And two, as a Christian, Jesus has said not to love each other as you would want to love yourself. | |
| Love each other as I have loved you. | |
| And Jesus certainly can love all of us much better than we can love each other and that we can love ourselves, including that child in the womb who is a child from the point of conception, always was, always has been, and always will be. | |

| It bounces ideas and brings in smart people, whereas Trump is going to act in uniform by himself. | |
| I know that's not individually a policy. | |
| That doesn't directly answer your question, but I think more so perspective matters. | |
| I think emotional intelligence matters. | |
| I think mental stability matters. | |
| At 3 a.m., if the nuclear war is going off, I trust Kamla more than I trust President StableGenius. | |
| Okay. | |
| All right. | |
| And do you think people were better off the past three and a half years than they were under Trump's administration? | |
| Yes. | |
| You do? | |
| So I'm a physician. | |
| Okay. |
