00:00Kamala supports taxpayer funds to pay for abortion for any reason.

00:06She even voted against legislation that would require medical providers to give care to

00:10babies born alive after an attempted abortion.

00:14They're the radical ones.

00:15You see, the Democrats, really — and not all of them, because most of them agree with

00:19us — they're the radical ones, whereas our position is that abortion is now back

00:25to the states.

00:27They've wanted to have this.

00:35This has been going on for 52 years, the way everybody and all legal scholars, they always

00:41said this is the way it should be.

00:44Everybody wanted it back in the states — Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives and legal

00:49scholars.

00:50Every legal scholar wanted it back in the states.

00:52And then, about 14 years ago, people started talking about the number of weeks, the number

00:57of months, the number of this, that.

00:59They wanted it back in the states where people can decide, and that's what's happening.

01:03You look at Ohio, they decided.

01:05You look at Kansas, they decided.

01:08You look at a lot of different states, they decided.

01:10And sometimes it comes out the way certain people want it.

01:13Sometimes it didn't.

01:14Ohio came out with somewhat of a liberal interpretation, and so did Kansas, which was a little surprising.

01:22But it's the vote of the people.

01:23Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in exceptions for the life of the mother, rape, and incest.

01:28And I also believe that you have to follow your heart.

01:31But you also have to get elected.

01:33You have to remember that.

01:34We have to get elected.

01:36And I want to thank the six Supreme Court justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito,

01:41John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett — for the wisdom and

01:49courage they showed on this long-term, very contentious issue.

01:55But getting it back to the states puts the question where it belongs, with the vote of

01:59the people.

02:00And it's over time.

02:01And you'll see this.

02:02Over time, it's going to work out incredibly well in a — just an issue that was tearing

02:10our country apart for years and years is coming to an end, and people are coming together.

02:16It's going to be the vote of the people, and it's a state vote.

02:19It's the way it was supposed to be.

02:21It should have never been in the federal government.

02:24So, thank you.

02:26I think it's so — I think it's so important to say.

02:29I think it's so important to talk about.
