Trump Taps Anti-Birth Control Activist To Oversee Family Planning

FORMALLY OF THE FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL, AND SHE HAS BEEN
APPOINTED TO THE ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
WHICH OVERSEES THE TITLE 10 PROGRAM, WHICH GIVES OUT
CONTRACEPTION, PAP SMEARS TO 4
MILLION LOW INCOME PEOPLE, AND 2 MILLION OF WHOM ARE UNINSURED.
WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THAT QUOTE, A QUOTE OF WHAT SHE
SAID IN THE PAST.
"OF COURSE CONTRACEPTION DOESN'T WORK, ITS EFFICACY IS VERY LOW.
THE PROSPECT THAT CONTRACEPTION WOULD ALWAYS PREVENT
CONCEPTION OF A CHILD IS PREPOSTEROUS."
SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT OVER THE COURSE OF SOMEONE'S ENTIRE
LIFE, BUT THIS IS THE KIND OF MESSAGE THAT SHE SENDS OUT.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS FROM HER INDUSTRIOUS ñ HER ILLUSTRIOUS
CAREER OF TALKING ABOUT ABORTION ARE THINGS LIKE CALLING ABORTION
A "LEGALIZED CRIME" IN ADDITION, SHE THINKS THE MORNING
AFTER PILL IS THE DESTRUCTION OF A HUMAN LIFE ALREADY CONCEIVED.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT, AND HOW THAT IS NOT EXACTLY TRUE.
THE LINK BETWEEN ABORTION AND BREAST CANCER SHE HAS CALLED
"UNDISPUTED."
AND THEN ALSO, I LISTENED TO THIS INSANELY LONG, ILLUMINATING
INTERVIEW THAT SHE DID WITH NPR BACK IN 2003, WHERE ONE OF HER
SOLUTIONS TO THE CHANGING SECULARIZING CULTURE IN AMERICA
IS TO "GO TO HOLLYWOOD AND WRITE PRO-LIFE SCRIPTS."
THAT IS A PARAPHRASING WHAT SHE SAID, BUT AS PART OF HER
MESSAGE.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK, SEE YOU ALL THIS?
IT IS PAINFUL.
HERE'S THE THING, I AM A DIEHARD PRO-CHOICE ACTIVIST, AND I THINK
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT WITH THAT SAID, I DO UNDERSTAND
WHERE PRO-LIFE PEOPLE COME FROM.
AND WE ARE ALREADY SEEING THAT PATTERN FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE
PRO-LIFE BEING PUT IN THIS FAMILY PLANNING OR HEALTH
POSITIONS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THINGS LIKE, CONTRACEPTION DOESN'T
REDUCE ABORTIONS, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER, BUT THIS
WOMAN IS NOT ONLY ANTIABORTION, SHE IS ANTI-CONTRACEPTION.
WHICH IS MIND-BOGGLING.
RIGHT, HER STATEMENT ABOUT CONTRACEPTION WAS SAYING THAT ñ
SHE IS SAYING THAT IF YOU TELL PEOPLE FROM A VERY EARLY AGE TO
USE CONTRACEPTION, IT IS PROVEN THAT CONDOMS ARE ONLY LIKE,
99% EFFECTIVE.
THAT IS HER LOGIC.
SO DON'T DO IT AT ALL?
THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE HEART OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER, SHE JUST SAYS
THESE STRANGE LITTLE POCKETS OF WHAT SHE THINGS TO BE
LOGIC, BUT DOESN'T OFFER A SOLUTION.
THOSE AREN'T STRANGE POCKETS OF LOGIC, THOSE ARE PATENTLY
UNTRUE.
WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE FACTS ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND THAT IS
HARD BECAUSE OF TRIBALISM, BECAUSE OF WHATEVER IDEOLOGY,
BUT WE HAVE TO PUT FACTS FIRST, AND WHAT SHE IS SAYING HERE
ARE PATENTLY UNTRUE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE LOWEST TIMES OF UNINTENDED TEEN
PREGNANCIES EVER, AND THAT IS LARGELY DUE TO THE
PREVALENCE OF CONTRACEPTIVES AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
ON YOUR POINT ABOUT PRIORITIZING FACTS IS LIKE, YES WE HAVE
CONTRACEPTION'S THAT ARE MORE PUBLIC, BUT WE ARE ALSO
INCREASING CONTENT ñ , INTENSIVE SEX EDUCATION, WHICH HAS BEEN
PROVEN TO REDUCE TEEN PREGNANCY, STI'S AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO
TO PERPETUATE THESE KIND OF NOTIONS AND HAVE HEADLINES THAT
ARE ANTI-CONTRACEPTIVE, AND MAYBE SAYING THAT LEADS TO MORE
ABORTIONS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, IS TERRIFYING, AND IS
LITERALLY SETTING US DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THIS SORT OF
POST TRUTH OF APOCALYPSE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY IN.
CONTRACEPTIVES DO WORK.
ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATION DOES NOT WORK.
YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE, DON'T HAVE SEX BECAUSE I READ A
BOOK I LIKE THAT SAYS DON'T DO IT, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, IT DOESN'T DELAY THE INITIATION OF
SEX, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS ABSENCE ONLY ñ ABSTINENCE ONLY
OR COMPREHENSIVE, IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING.
WHAT IT DOES IS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN, WITHOUT
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE IN FOR WHEN THEY DO IT.
AND AGAIN, TO YOUR POINT, A LOT OF THIS CONTRACEPTION THAT
HAS BEEN HANDED OUT, AND THE REFLECTIVE HEALTH SERVICES
THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY TITLE X,
WHICH IS THE EXACT PROGRAM THAT THIS WOMAN IS NOW OVERSEEING.
HERE ARE FACTS ABOUT TITLE X.
JEAN PREMISES ARE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW, UNINDICTED ñ
UNINTENDED DISEASE ARE A 30 YEAR LOW.
904,000 UNINTENDED PREGNANCIES, 439,000 UNPLANNED BIRTHS, AND
326,000 ABORTIONS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BECAUSE THE
PEOPLE DIDN'T GET PREGNANT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
EVEN THE POPE IS BEING MORE LENIENT ON CONTRACEPTIVES, AND
IF YOU ARE STILL LIKE, DON'T DO IT, I FEEL LIKE YOU MIGHT BE ON
THE WRONG SIDE.
EVEN THE FINANCIAL ASPECT, THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE TO MAKE.
THIS WAS A POINT MADE IN THE ORIGINAL FREAKANOMICS,
WHICH WAS THAT WHEN FIRST CONTROL BECAME AVAILABLE,
IT STOPPED UNINTENDED PREGNANCIES FROM HAPPENING.
AFTER ROE V WADE THEY SAW AN INCREASE IN THE ECONOMY AND
A DECREASE IN POVERTY.
WE HAVE TO RESPECT THESE FACTS.
DONALD TRUMP THINKS IT'S CUTE OR HILARIOUS TO PUT PEOPLE WHO ARE
FAMILY OPPOSED ñ YOU ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THE
VERY COMMITTEES THAT THEY ARE OVERSEEING.
WE HAVE ANTI-CLIMATE CHANGE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF PLACES
THAT WOULD DECIDE POLICY REGARDING THAT.
IT'S NOT FUNNY OR HILARIOUS, OR SHOWING THAT YOU ARE THE
BOSS, OR WHATEVER.
THIS IS CAUSING LONG-TERM DAMAGE.
I SUPPORTED BERNIE SANDERS 100%,
BUT I VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON BECAUSE SHE HAD ONE GREAT
THING GOING FOR HER: SHE WASN'T DONALD TRUMP.
WHEN PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXACTLY AS
BAD IF HILLARY CLINTON WERE PRESIDENT, NO IT WOULDN'T.
LOOK AT THIS.
PEOPLE'S HEALTH IS GOING TO SUFFER, AND THESE ARE
THINGS YOU CANNOT REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF.
THIS IS GOING TO DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT LOW
INCOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD CONTRACEPTION, OR THE ABILITY TO
LIGHT, LEARN ABOUT THESE THINGS, AND ANY SORT OF COMPONENT
WITHOUT SORT OF LIKE, THE PROTECTION FROM HEALTHCARE,
TITLE X, AND PROGRAMS LIKE THAT; PLANNED PARENTHOOD,
WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
IS GOING TO DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT THESE PEOPLE, AND
THAT'S WHAT HE DOES IT, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CARE.
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING, HE DOESN'T CARE
WHAT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THE TOP 0.001%.
IT ALMOST COULD BE DESCRIBED AS A PETTY ASSAULT ON PEOPLE
ON THE OTHER SIDE WHO HAVE TALKED TRASH TO HIM IN THE PAST.
SHE IS GOING TO BE OVERSEEING THE DISPERSAL OF FUNDS FOR TITLE
X, AND JUST A YOU KNOW, IF SHE IS SO AGAINST ABORTION, HERE IS
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DOLLARS SPENT FUNDING ABORTION: $0.
IT'S ILLEGAL, AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO STICK IT TO PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AND REMOVE FUNDING FOR THEM, THEY HAD NOT SPENT
EASIER ñ THEY HAVE NOT SPENT A SINGLE DOLLAR ON ABORTION.
HERE IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD SAID,
SHE SAID, "THIS IS THE FOX GUARDING THE HENHOUSE, AND
WOMEN WITH LOW INCOMES WILL PAY THE PRICE.
IS A CRUEL IRONY TO APPOINT AN OPPONENT OF BIRTH CONTROL TO
OVERSEE THE NATION'S ONLY FEDERAL PROGRAM DEDICATED TO
FAMILY PLANNING."
IT JUST PAINS ME.
AN OPPONENT OF BIRTH CONTROL, IT PAINS ME.
LIKE I SAID, PRO-LIFE, I GET WHAT PEOPLE ARE PRO-LIFE, I CAN
EMPATHIZE WITH THAT, BUT IF YOU ARE ANTI-PROCEDURAL, IT
LOGICALLY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
YOU ARE AFFECTING THE LIVES OF SONY WOMEN WHO WILL HAVE THEIR
LIVES CHANGED FOREVER, AND THAT WILL PUT SOLELY WOMEN INTO
POSITIONS OF POVERTY, DECREASE OF EDUCATION AND THINGS LIKE
THAT, WHICH WILL AFFECT, IF YOU ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE
ECONOMY, WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT GDP, CRIME RATES AND SOME THE
OTHER COMPONENTS THAT I DON'T THINK THEY TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE SORT OF REMOVAL
PROGRAMS.
IS PETTINESS.
AND FROM HER SIDE IT IS A LACK OF OBSERVANCE OF WHAT THE FACTS
ARE ON THE GROUND, WHICH IS LIKE, CONTRACEPTION IS A
PRAGMATIC SOLUTION TO A VERY REAL PROBLEM.
IF YOU ARE ARGUING AGAINST CONTRACEPTION, YOU ARE IGNORING
THE PRAGMATISM, AND THERE IS NO MORAL GROUNDS TO DO THAT EITHER.
IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ABSTINENCE, THE ONLY TIME
THAT THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD ON YOUR MORAL ARGUMENT IS
ABOUT YOUR BELIEF ON ABORTION.
THIS ISN'T AN ABORTION ISSUE, AND WHEN SHE POINTS OUT
THINGS LIKE SHE DOES ABOUT THE MORNING-AFTER PILL, IT HAS
BEEN SAID BY EXPERTS THAT THE MORNING-AFTER PILL IS A
CONTRACEPTIVE.
WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT SHE SAYS IT IS THE DESTRUCTION
OF A FERTILIZED ñ
IT'S NOT.
WELL, THE WAY YOU NORMALLY USE PLAN B IS, YOU TAKE IT, AND IT
WILL NOT STOP A PREGNANCY THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED, ONE OF THE
THINGS IT DOES IS, IF AN EGG HAS BEEN FERTILIZED, IT
PREVENTS IT FROM SOMETIMES ATTACHING TO THE UTERINE WALL,
SO JUST LIKE AN UNFERTILIZED -- WILL EVENTUALLY PASS
OUT, THAT'S WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.
BUT SHE IS IGNORING THE SOLUTION THAT EVERYBODY HAS COME TO,
WHICH IS JUST USE CONTRACEPTION, AND YOU DON'T FIGHT AGAINST
A COMPLETELY.
EDUCATE PEOPLE THAT IT IS ONLY EFFECTIVE 98% OF THE TIME,
AND TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY, AND TO KEEP ABORTION SAFE AND LEGAL.
THAT'S IT.
AND SHE ARGUES TO AND NAIL TO EVERY SINGLE POINT.
SHE SAYS ABORTIONS AREN'T SAFE.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
YOUR SOLUTIONS WILL MAKE ABORTION EVEN LESS SAFE
THAN YOU PURPORT THEM TO BE ALREADY.
SHE GOES ON FOR SO LONG ABOUT SECULARISM, AND HOW LIKE, NOW
WE'VE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS GODLESS SOCIETY, AND GOD
FULLNESS IS WHAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF
MORAL HOLD ON WHAT IS UP AND DOWN ESSENTIALLY.
I SUGGEST IF YOU JUST WANT TO GRIND YOUR TEETH...
WELL, THAT'S WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SAID RIGHT?
INEXTRICABLE CHURCH AND STATE, RIGHT?
WHAT YOU SAID IS SO BAD, AND SHE IS A LEGAL EXPERT.
