=== Abortion's Weight on Votes (05:08) ===

[00:00:00]  Gender gap is defining feature of deadlocked Trump-Harris race.
[00:00:06]  Wall Street Journal.
[00:00:09]  With black and Latino men moving toward Trump, the polls suggest that America is becoming a bit less divided politically by race, but more divided by gender.
[00:00:27]  The lead pollster for the pro-Trump MAGA, Inc., Super PAC, David Lee, said, I think men are very heavily economy-focused.
[00:00:40]  It all has to do with the economy and inflation.
[00:00:44]  While women also care about the economy, abortion weighs equally heavily as an issue in their voting calculations.
[00:00:57]  In a recent Wall Street Journal poll of the seven battleground states, 27% of women, but only 8% of men, listed abortion as the top issue motivating their vote for president.
[00:01:14]  One-third of women said they could not back a candidate who disagrees with them on abortion, compared with 18% of men who said so.
[00:01:26]  One out of every three women would disqualify a candidate if they disagreed on abortion.
[00:01:35]  Think about that for a moment.
[00:01:40]  That would be enough.
[00:01:43]  So if the candidate is for men competing with women in sports, putting men who say they're women in women's shelters and women's prisons, that's okay.
[00:01:56]  They agree with us on abortion.
[00:01:59]  If they're for taking kids to...
[00:02:01]  What is it called again?
[00:02:07]  The men in women's garb.
[00:02:13]  What do they call that again?
[00:02:17]  Men dressing as women.
[00:02:19]  No, no, no.
[00:02:21]  My wife is going nuts because I save the term all the time.
[00:02:27]  Oh, God.
[00:02:31]  One moment, folks.
[00:02:33]  This is driving me crazy.
[00:02:34]  I have a block against that name.
[00:02:41]  Story Hour is the last part of it.
[00:02:44]  Drag Queen.
[00:02:45]  Thank you.
[00:02:46]  Thank you.
[00:02:47]  That's right.
[00:02:47]  Drag Queen Story Hour.
[00:02:49]  That's okay.
[00:02:51]  But if we differ on abortion, you're pro-Hamas, or at least anti-Israel, that's okay, but you agree with me on abortion.
[00:03:04]  You're for open borders, that's okay, but we differ on abortion.
[00:03:09]  Screw my country, I care only about abortion rights.
[00:03:17]  Yes.
[00:03:20]  Overwhelmingly, even in places where there are restrictions on abortion, it's either time-bound or certainly if the mother's health is involved or victims of rape or incest.
[00:03:33]  Doesn't matter.
[00:03:35]  The moment you say, You don't have a 100% right to kill the child you're carrying.
[00:03:43]  That makes you anathema to one out of every three American women.
[00:03:47]  I bet there is no country in the world of which that is true.
[00:03:51]  No other country.
[00:03:54]  And of those one out of three women, what percentage do you think went to college?
[00:04:01]  I'll bet 80% went to college.
[00:04:06]  They're taught to hate people who say that the child has any worth.
[00:04:11]  Yet, if the woman wants to give birth and the child is killed in the womb, it's called murder.
[00:04:19]  It's called homicide.
[00:04:23]  One out of every three women.
[00:04:26]  Every other issue is secondary.
[00:04:29]  If I want an abortion in the seventh month, damn it, I'm going to get one.
[00:04:37]  That's it.
[00:04:38]  And you have no right to say anything, even morally.
[00:04:41]  Forget even legally.
[00:04:44]  My whole life has been, or nearly all, has been devoted to the moral question of abortion, not the legal question.
[00:04:54]  But that renders me anathema.
[00:04:56]  They couldn't vote for me.
[00:04:58]  Well, they couldn't vote for me for a lot of reasons.
[00:05:02]  I don't believe America is systemically racist.
[00:05:06]  I think Hamas is the villain and Israel is not.
