Episode #266
On this episode, Ryan explains why abortion is more than just a states issue and calls for a Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Abortion. Ryan draws parallels to the ending of slavery in the US, and the granting of voting rights and due process. Abortion is a matter of human rights and must be addressed with the same weight and urgency. There were no exceptions for slavery and there should be no exceptions for taking the life of the unborn. This episode goes beyond the societal norms to share the truth about what has been normalized. This episode will equip you to answer the question of what our nation must do when it comes to abortion. We must uphold biblical principles and respects every human life.

a

indisputable
evidence

reasoning

issue

So
I
want
to
dive
right
into
this
,
and
we're
going
to
do
that
first
by
drawing
some
parallels
to
some
other
issues
in
the
history
of
America
that
came
up
that
were
settled
not
at
the
state
level
.
Here's
the
question
Was
slavery
a
state's
issue
?
No
,
we
had
the
13th
Amendment
.
Was
due
process
under
law
a
state's
issue
?
No
,
we
had
the
14th
Amendment
.
Was
the
right
for
women
to
vote
a
state's
issue
?
Nope
,
we
had
the
15th
Amendment
.
You
see
all
of
these
.
Speaker 1
1:09
The
answer
is
no
,
because
these
are
human
rights
issues
.
It
is
a
constitutional
right
.
God
gives
us
our
rights
,
inalienable
rights
.
That's
what
that
means
.
It
means
that
,
by
virtue
of
being
human
,
we
have
these
rights
given
to
us
by
God
.
The
government
doesn't
give
us
these
rights
.
The
government
is
to
protect
these
rights
,
and
so
when
the
government
doesn't
do
that
,
that's
a
violation
,
a
dereliction
of
duty
of
the
government
.
They're
stepping
outside
the
bounds
of
what
God
has
ordained
and
set
apart
for
the
government
to
be
doing
.
The
government's
job
is
to
do
two
things
to
promote
good
and
to
punish
evil
.
Two
things
promote
good
,
punish
evil
.
And
well
,
no
state
today
could
take
away
the
voting
rights
of
women
or
black
people
or
Hispanics
or
Asian
Americans
.
They
just
can't
do
that
.
Speaker 1
1:59
Citizens
have
a
right
to
vote
and
I
would
even
argue
that
in
the
14th
Amendment
,
where
it
says
due
process
under
law
,
it
says
no
person
shall
be
deprived
of
life
,
liberty
or
property
without
due
process
under
law
deprived
of
life
.
So
right
there
it's
,
literally
in
the
14th
Amendment
.
We
have
the
right
to
life
.
Well
,
when
does
life
begin
?
Well
,
science
,
trust
the
science
,
right
Science
tells
us
that
life
begins
at
conception
.
It
has
its
unique
DNA
,
it
has
all
the
intrinsic
abilities
to
grow
into
what
it's
going
to
become
,
and
it's
already
that
.
And
when
I
say
what
it's
going
to
become
,
I
mean
things
like
the
baby's
ability
to
hear
,
the
ability
to
walk
,
have
all
the
body
parts
.
All
of
this
is
right
there
,
at
the
moment
of
conception
,
unique
DNA
from
the
mom
and
from
the
dad
,
completely
separate
,
and
so
that
right
,
there
should
be
enough
.
But
again
,
god
gives
us
our
rights
and
the
government's
job
is
to
protect
those
rights
.
Therefore
,
what
should
we
do
to
deal
with
the
issue
of
abortion
today
?
Pro-life
,
we
need
a
constitutional
amendment
.
That's
exactly
how
these
things
were
managed
to
abolish
slavery
,
to
give
the
right
to
vote
and
to
give
due
process
.
All
of
these
amendments
were
because
they
were
human
rights
.
And
what
do
we
have
today
?
We
have
human
rights
being
discussed
with
regard
to
the
pre-born
.
It
was
good
that
the
Supreme
Court
overturned
Roe
v
Wade
from
1973
recently
and
returned
it
to
the
states
Now
,
but
it
shouldn't
stop
there
.
You
see
,
roe
v
Wade
was
a
bogus
ruling
in
the
first
place
.
It
should
have
never
happened
.
And
so
,
yes
,
they
should
undo
that
and
push
it
back
to
the
states
.
That's
good
,
okay
,
but
we're
having
the
wrong
discussion
today
.
Speaker 1
3:44
I've
watched
the
presidential
debates
for
the
2024
presidential
election
.
What
are
they
talking
about
?
The
first
debate
they're
talking
about
at
what
stage
of
pregnancy
should
abortions
be
allowed
?
That's
the
wrong
discussion
.
That's
the
wrong
discussion
.
They're
saying
,
oh
,
six
weeks
,
12
weeks
,
15
weeks
?
We
have
a
heartbeat
bill
in
Iowa
and
many
other
states
.
It's
what
?
Gestational
age
?
Well
,
it's
a
life
.
And
so
if
we
wouldn't
take
the
life
of
a
two-year-old
standing
next
to
you
and
you
wouldn't
take
the
life
of
a
one-year-old
or
a
five-day-old
,
what's
the
difference
between
the
moment
before
it's
born
,
or
three
months
before
it's
born
,
or
nine
months
before
it's
born
?
There's
no
difference
.
It's
a
difference
in
location
and
it's
a
difference
in
age
.
That's
it
.
So
we
must
all
,
all
of
these
presidential
candidates
.
Everybody
must
be
calling
for
an
absolute
abolition
of
abortion
.
That
is
what
we
need
.
We
need
a
constitutional
amendment
to
abolish
abortion
In
the
1800s
okay
,
they
didn't
get
into
the
nuances
of
when
slavery
should
be
allowed
.
Speaker 1
4:46
Okay
,
well
,
under
these
circumstances
and
under
the
okay
,
yeah
,
then
this
person
did
it
.
No
,
it
was
a
violation
of
human
rights
.
Therefore
,
done
,
need
the
amendment
,
need
the
constitutional
amendment
?
Well
,
just
before
the
Civil
War
,
there
was
19
free
states
and
15
slave
states
.
13th
Amendment
was
proposed
in
1864
and
ratified
in
1865
.
It
abolished
slavery
and
involuntary
servitude
,
except
for
people
convicted
of
a
crime
.
So
it
would
be
things
that
they're
doing
while
in
jail
.
Speaker 1
5:17
Well
,
abortion
,
what
do
we
have
today
?
We
have
23
states
that
have
defunded
or
attempted
to
defund
the
abortion
industry
and
Medicaid
,
title
X
and
state
appropriations
.
We
have
12
states
that
have
taken
steps
to
directly
fund
abortion
,
fund
abortion
and
abortion
providers
,
and
we
have
15
states
that
have
not
taken
any
action
to
defund
abortion
providers
.
So
we've
got
a
lot
going
on
at
the
state
level
and
some
of
those
are
violations
of
human
rights
.
In
fact
,
any
of
them
that
are
not
absolute
abolition
,
which
would
be
all
of
them
,
are
violations
of
human
rights
,
the
right
to
life
,
and
here's
how
we
want
to
.
I
want
to
summarize
this
.
This
is
really
the
take
home
.
Speaker 1
6:03
They
didn't
say
slavery
is
abolished
unless
it's
decided
that
the
child
will
be
a
slave
before
it's
born
.
They
didn't
say
women
can
vote
unless
it's
decided
before
they're
born
that
they
can't
vote
.
They
didn't
say
everyone
has
due
process
under
law
unless
it's
decided
before
they're
born
that
they
don't
.
And
we
cannot
say
everyone
has
a
right
to
life
unless
it's
decided
before
they're
born
that
they
don't
.
These
are
human
rights
issues
.
This
is
a
human
rights
issue
.
It
is
absolutely
way
far
and
above
and
beyond
just
a
state's
issue
.
This
needs
to
be
a
constitutional
amendment
to
absolutely
abolish
abortion
,
because
even
no
exceptions
,
there's
no
nuances
.
Speaker 1
6:42
We
don't
say
because
this
slave
was
,
this
person
was
conceived
in
rape
,
they
can
be
a
slave
for
the
rest
of
their
life
.
We
don't
say
because
this
person
was
conceived
in
incest
,
they
can
be
a
slave
for
the
rest
of
their
life
.
That
would
be
unspeakable
in
your
mind
,
probably
,
to
consider
that
.
Well
,
it
should
be
unspeakable
that
we
would
kill
somebody
.
I
mean
,
there
are
people
walking
around
today
that
were
conceived
in
rape
and
incest
.
They're
walking
around
today
and
they
got
value
.
And
so
if
you
could
take
their
life
.
If
someone
could
take
their
life
before
they
were
born
,
what's
the
difference
between
taking
their
life
now
?
I
mean
,
could
a
mom
or
dad
decide
a
couple
years
later
?
Well
,
you
know
what
made
the
wrong
decision
?
No
,
of
course
not
.
Speaker 1
7:20
And
you
see
,
we
have
just
let
this
narrative
be
taken
by
the
left
and
by
those
who
want
to
make
up
rights
,
so-called
reproductive
rights
.
Those
are
not
rights
.
You
see
,
rights
have
responsibilities
,
a
corresponding
responsibility
.
When
someone
,
when
I
have
a
right
to
freedom
of
speech
,
okay
,
that
means
someone
else
has
a
responsibility
to
not
infringe
on
my
right
to
freedom
of
speech
.
If
I
have
a
right
to
life
,
that
means
someone
else
has
a
responsibility
to
not
infringe
on
my
right
to
life
.
Now
,
there
are
nuances
that
come
in
where
,
if
somebody's
threatening
my
life
,
well
then
they've
sort
of
given
up
their
right
and
I
can
defend
myself
against
them
.
Okay
,
that's
different
.
If
someone
is
coming
after
my
free
speech
,
well
then
,
that's
an
issue
.
They're
not
fulfilling
their
responsibility
.
Speaker 1
8:03
And
you
see
,
all
of
these
rights
can
be
at
the
same
time
exercised
and
there
are
back
and
forth
around
when
a
violation
is
happening
of
a
responsibility
and
a
right
and
how
that
can
happen
.
So
these
reproductive
rights
don't
exist
,
because
for
one
to
exercise
one
right
violates
the
right
of
another
.
You
see
,
that's
a
good
indication
to
you
that
it's
not
a
right
.
So
if
a
woman's
gonna
exercise
her
right
to
kill
a
baby
,
well
then
that's
violating
the
rights
of
the
baby
.
You
see
,
there's
an
indication
to
you
that
maybe
one
of
those
isn't
a
real
right
,
it's
a
made
up
right
.
Speaker 1
8:39
So
you
can
see
,
here
,
this
is
a
very
I'm
very
passionate
about
this
topic
and
we
all
should
be
,
and
every
presidential
candidate
,
including
Donald
Trump
,
needs
to
come
out
and
say
we
will
abolish
abortion
.
That's
really
what
needs
to
be
happening
.
Do
I
think
that's
gonna
happen
?
Well
,
you
know
,
god
parted
the
sea
and
Israel
walked
through
it
.
So
,
yeah
,
anything's
possible
.
But
I
can
tell
you
what
not
gonna
happen
when
the
church
continues
to
not
repent
,
continues
to
not
speak
up
about
issues
,
continues
to
not
tell
the
truth
about
these
things
,
continues
to
not
hold
people
accountable
.
So
praise
God
that
we
do
have
the
church
starting
to
speak
up
.
And
we
need
to
repent
.
We
need
to
look
at
ourselves
first
.
You
know
,
the
Bible
says
that
if
my
people
will
humble
themselves
and
repent
and
call
upon
my
name
,
I
will
heal
their
land
,
my
people
.
So
we
need
to
be
influencing
,
we
need
to
be
speaking
the
truth
and
we
need
to
abolish
abortion
.
We
need
a
constitutional
Advocating for Abolishing Abortion
