  1. So this woman thinks a person isnt a person until they take their first breath? So a fetus at 41 weeks in utero still can be aborted? 😯

  2. MAGA world's irrationality – one hand, advocating absolute freedom but on the other, imposing their morality on others.

  3. This is going to be interesting.

  4. Imagine meeting your maker and having to argue that you fought to allow the killing of children.

  5. Catholic Church and Abortion?

    (All 5 Supreme Court Justices who voted to get rid of Roe v Wade were Catholics)

    The same people who try to tell women they should not have an abortion (when they are only getting rid of a fetus instead of a person). Are the same ones who condone people shooting up our schools and killing hundreds of children. Those who claim that all they have to do after killing is to say… Forgive me, Jesus! These preachers teach that your sins will all be washed away, but if it is a fetus, oh no!

    These people do not care about killing, they only care about keeping women submissive to men. That is why they treat women like obedient dogs in their churches not allowing them to speak (preach) because they feel that men should control women. They feel that a man should tell a woman what to do and what she can do with her own body since he is the master of her body, not her.

    Sadly, there are those like the followers of Reverend Jim Jones, who have brainwashed women to believe that man is superior to them. Yet, Jesus said… “No one can serve two masters, for if you love one, you must hate the other. Man is not the master of women, God is the only master!

    I speak to all Catholic women; it is time for you to break the shackles that bind you. It is time for you to say I once was lost but now I’m found. Do not let men control your body, your body is yours that God gave to you to control. We are all equal in the eyes of God and no one serves a master on earth but only the one in Heaven. If your hand deceives you, if your eye deceives you, if your church deceives you, now is the time to walk away and scream for God to hear you. “I once was blind but now I see.

  6. Fake! They don't quote authentic Jew's scripts "halacha" ..
    These are reform Jew's that doesn't represent the real values of the torah.

  7. Could someone believing the Bible supports abortion? Please provide the book and verse. I am Christian and don't believe the Bible support abortion. Please help!

  8. TINY HAT CLUB NEEDS TO GO!!

  9. Don't Murder Your Children…

  10. There's so many people being killed, why? Because their being told that life has no value! Do you value life? Give the baby a chance. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12 If the tables were turned would it have been okay for your baby to abort you? Instead repent/believe in God's son Jesus, he loves you and can change your heart.

  11. Just because you don’t think someone isn’t a person doesn’t mean they arn’t. The infertile pig can go back to her trough.

  12. Good for these women suing – so sick & tried of the sanctimonious hypocritical religious right.

  13. Evangelicals weaponized their laughable faith. Might as well do the same thing and use it against them.

  14. Vote No on 2 KY! My body my rights!!!!

  15. Oh, look. It’s the ultimate test for the ultra conservative Supreme Court. What’s more important to them? Religious establishment or striking down abortion protections?

  16. I'm so glad we are taking about this. Not everyone is Christian.

  17. The antichoice terrorists are the dregs of civilized society, pushing their idiocy onto everybody else. This minority of dimwits need to be put in their place.

  18. Reality doesn't care about your religion.

    The fact that life begins at conception isn't an opinion.

    It's a scientific fact.

    This Jewish woman is arguing the same philosophical concept that allowed slavery and the holocaust.

    The irony is ridiculous.

  19. Abortion rights are privacy rights.

  20. Here is hoping thousands of young daughters of Conservative fascists convert to Judaism.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  21. I hope the court agrees with these women

  22. That's not accurate, and this law doesn't distinguish between one belief from another. Her attorney is a fool, "old men that don't know what a uterus is ??" Menso. And they misrepresent thr details of the law. And Miss thang you don't represent every Jew! God's word specifically Psalm 139 says that God gave life to us at conception. You confuse Judaism with the straight out word of God! Shame on you.

  23. Honestly I think everyone should be doing this across the country. Non-Christians should not be treated as second class citizens.

  24. But, Christian rights are the only ones that count!

  25. Kentucky is a backwards state. I can say that because I was born and grew up there, left as an adult and won't even visit the state.

  26. Religion definitely promotes madness.

  27. Suddenly religious freedom is not so free for non Christians. Freedom for me ain’t freedom for thee biatch. I say we start taxing Christian organizations.

  28. Called it. It was so obvious that the anti-abortionists are following christian doctrin that it was just a matter of time till someone of a different religion would make this about their constitutional right to "freedom of religion" onto which christians infrindged upon. The other thing which might be a thing i would imagine, is the seperation between state and church. Not sure how that is codified in US law or if it is just a guiding principle of sorts, but i would imagine this could be a lever, too.

  29. As a man it’s absolutely baffling how old white men have been able to make rules about womens body and keep it that way…When doesn’t everyone get to be heard and represented by a representative of their peers?!!?!

  30. She’s going to win under religious freedom to believe what she wants to believe. It’s the epitome of freedom in the United States 🇺🇸

  31. I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

  32. Hey Boys…how about a law….mandatory castration for adultery? it is against the law in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Surrender the offending member. Cut it off like Jesus says.

  33. Jews don't believe in life?

    Good to know, I guess

  34. I want to root for her but knowing she's Jewish she probably supports Israel who's also using religion to oppress Muslims of Palestine

  35. Yes! I've been wanting to hear more of this. I'm unable to do it myself.

  36. Now we are talking my religion against yours

  37. Im a christian and life starts at FIRST BREATH! The problem is men think they have the right, most dont even know that women pee from a separate hole. They wanna control something they can't even do. We need a class action lawsuit made by all american women to take out the entire supreme court. Period.

  38. Fruit of the womb is a blessing 🙏🏾

  39. She really got on national tv happy to sue for the right to terminate a pregnancy… evil

  40. Killing babies is ok
    Killing ju’s wasn’t

    Help me understand this

  41. She looks so happy to be on the show…

  42. Stupid people are easily manipulated.
    That's why Republicans hate education.
    Republicans are easily manipulated.
