I'll give you guys our email addresses2700:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.960at the end of this but let'sjump into this episode. What are we2800:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.039talking about, Vicky? We're talkingabout, it's kind of a fun one.2900:02:14.319 --> 00:02:20.800What planned parenthood is telling clients aboutus as sidewalk counselors, and I3000:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.680do want to remind all of ourlisteners what we often say that when we're3100:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.520on the sidewalk. We try tokeep to the three main talking points.3200:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.479What God says about the baby,resources and humanity of the baby, and3300:02:31.639 --> 00:02:37.159that is true and that is wherethe bulk of our discussion with the Women3400:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.800Um at the abortion center should center, on those three main areas. However,3500:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.000they are being told lies by plannedparenthood about us. They're being told3600:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.280many things about us. This articlewas I found it. It is an3700:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.439official document put up by planned parenthoodand Um and it is called five ways3800:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.719to help you deal with and tieabortion protesters. I read the whole article3900:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.479and I think it is important sometimesfor us as sidewalk counselors to counter some4000:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.479of these main points, because thewomen are being told these things about us4100:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.840and it really can prevent them fromwanting to approach us. So I think4200:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.120we need to expose the darkness,expose the lives. We are called Biblically4300:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.759to do that. I wouldn't spendmy whole time on the sidewalk doing this,4400:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.280but I think if, if thespirit moves you, there are times4500:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.680when when exposing the lives are aboutwhat they're saying and it's kind of a4600:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.479natural thing anyway. If someone says, well, they told me not to4700:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.840talk to you because of this.It's very natural for us to say,4800:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.280well, they're actually lying to youbecause they know that we have information that4900:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.000would dissuade you from having an abortion. Yeah, Um, so, yeah,5000:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.960there's nothing wrong with engaging along theselines. You just don't want your5100:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.639whole conversation to center around us againstthem sort of stuff. I also want5200:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.759to mention too, that for alot of people, planned parenthood is some5300:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.080oonymous with abortion clinic. Right aplant parenthood, um is abortion clinic,5400:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.280and we think of there's even whenpeople talk about Latrobe, they talk about5500:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.919going out to Plant parenthood. Thislatrobe abortion center is not a plant parenthood5600:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.360and, as a matter of fact, some people don't know this. I've5700:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.560mentioned this in other episodes. InCalifornia because that's where a lot of my5800:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.639focus is. Actually, the FP, a organization family planning associates,5900:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.399does more abortions in California Than Plantparenthood does. Um. So I'm saying6000:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.759that because this is what Plant parenthoodsays, but this is what commonly every6100:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.399abortion center, Plant parenthood is.It's the giant, it's the Goliath and6200:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.639it really sets the tone for allthe other abortion centers like they're. They're6300:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.839the leader in the abortion industry movement, right. And so whether you're at6400:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.560a plant parenthood or whether you're atan F P A, whether you add6500:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.800a privately owned abortion center or whatever, these are common ways that they view6600:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.480us and common things that they sayto their clients that are coming in.6700:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.560We knew that from conversations we've had. We've had with women and also conversations6800:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.120we had with abortion workers. Theyquit. Here's the here's the things that6900:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.519they tell us to tell the clientsso they don't stop and talk with you7000:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.639guys. Right, right. Soit's it's quite long the article because what7100:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.920I did when I when I wroteat the article talking about this article,7200:05:21.000 --> 00:05:27.720is I would actually cut and pasteportions of the actual article by planned parenthood7300:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.759and then I put right below eachsegment our response. So we're kind of7400:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.319going to have fun with this.So so the Um well, the first7500:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.319thing, and I'm not going toread the whole thing, I'm going to7600:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.680pick some highlights from the first paragraph, is that the women are going to7700:05:42.759 --> 00:05:49.040face vocal protesters who don't believe inyour right to sexual and reproductive health services7800:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.959and education and they shouldn't be allowedto keep you from the health care you7900:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.920need and deserve. So then wewill. We can respond in many ways8000:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.120to this. First of all,we're not protesters, right. We are8100:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.000not protesters. Right. We're notout here to protest and, you know,8200:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.920to pick it or whatever. Notthat that's wrong. You guys.8300:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.560If you've watched our trainings, youknow that we talk about the contrast between8400:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.399what we're doing and protesting. Whatwe're doing is not protesting. We're out8500:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.639there proclaiming the truth, throughout there, offering help and hope. We're reaching8600:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.879out too. I mean, ifwe're protesting, then so was planned parenthood8700:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.079right there protesting. I mean intheir very article here they're protesting, Um,8800:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.319the anti choice protesters, and counterprotesting us just with this article,8900:06:32.439 --> 00:06:39.079supposedly. Um. I will saythis, though, anti abortion, that9000:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.639that's seen as like a pejorative againstus or whatever. I'm perfectly okay with9100:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.839being called ant I'm also okay withbeing called anti choice if the choice entails9200:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.879killing another person. Right. I'manti slavery. I'm anti choice as it9300:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.800pertains to slavery. Right. I'manti sex trafficking, I'm anti illegal drug9400:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.279use. Right, I'm anti alot of stuff and I'm okay with that.9500:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.720We often say we want to beknown for what we're for rather than9600:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.319what we're against, and I getthat. That's cool. I like to9700:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.519be known what I'm for, butalso I want to be known for what9800:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.000I'm against. I'm against child pornographyright, I'm against perversion. I'm against9900:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.120those things and I'm cool with that. They want to say this is kind10000:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.240of like this is a jab atus, but I don't I don't care10100:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.720what they say. Yep, Yep, and so so we don't believe in10200:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.720the right to sexual and reproductive healthservices. Do you think that's an accurate10300:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.480statement? I mean, I meanin a sense, if you want to10400:07:34.519 --> 00:07:41.519call abortion sexual and reproductive health services, I'm against that. But of course10500:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.600we know that abortion is not reproductivehealth. It's the very opposite. It's10600:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.040it's it's counteracts reproduction right. Andof course, this idea of sexual health10700:07:53.079 --> 00:08:00.199services and education. Am I againstthe entity that makes money off of Um,10800:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.600false information about sex and sexual activitiesthat there they propagate in the school10900:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.519systems, ultimately to get people tocome to their centers and get birth control11000:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.000and abortions from them. Yes,I'm against them educating anyone for anything,11100:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.199the entity that makes literally billions ofdollars off of abortions and and the the11200:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.160pseudo healthcare stuff. Yeah, I'magainst their education, but I'm not against11300:08:24.279 --> 00:08:31.199true education, true education about sex, about the consequences of sex outside of11400:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.919marriage, right for that stuff.Yeah, yeah, okay. So,11500:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.559uh so now you have it there. It's not reproductive health, Um,11600:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.840and we we are against their definitionof of reproductive health if it means killing11700:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.480the baby. Yes, we,we agree with them. We are.11800:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.360We are against that. Um,okay. So so they said then in11900:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.960the article that there are no strangersto protesters. And listen, this is12000:08:56.960 --> 00:09:03.120a great line. They have plansin place to keep you safe and comfortable12100:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.840both inside and outside of the building. So the safety of planned parenthood is12200:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.840is being touted. So who isit not safe for? First of all,12300:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.320let's just you know. It's notsafe for the unborn. Babies are12400:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.200safe for the unborn. Inside thatbuilding is not a safe place for the12500:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.200unborn. But even the woman that, the week I wrote this article,12600:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.159we saw, to the day Iwrote this article, we saw two women12700:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.000that had to be basically carried outof the abortion center, one that literally12800:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.519fainted. She got to her carand fainted, passed out and they had12900:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.519to carry her back in. AndI mean I shouldn't laugh, I'm not13000:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.679laughing at that. It's it's thatability of them calling this that they have13100:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.120plans to keep the women safe.Yeah, and also that they mentioned here13200:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.799they have security guards and or escortson hand who are trained to protect you.13300:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.639If you I've ever seen in theany of the activities of these quote13400:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.759escorts, especially the ones here inCharlotte, but I've seen it across the13500:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.200nation, of these quote again,air quote escorts, that they're protecting anyone.13600:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.480I mean they're banging drums, cowbells, they're saying lewd things,13700:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.639perverse things. Those people are notout there to protect the patients. They're13800:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.559out there to stroke thrown egos.They're out there to cover up a lot,13900:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.639a lot of times their own sinright. They're they're numbing their own14000:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.840conscience to what they did in theirpast. Many of these people are post14100:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.200aborted themselves. And listen, thesepeople, these escorts, for the most14200:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.320part, are not out there forthe men and the women that they supposedly14300:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.679serve. They're out there for themselvesand for plant parentshood. To pretend that14400:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.399these people are helpful is an absurdity. Yeah, trained, trained to do14500:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.519what? Most of them are highschool or Young, the young college kids14600:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.440on summer break that think this isfun to see and they spend a lot14700:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.559of time on Tiktok at that whilethey're standing there. It's it's it's absurd.14800:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.840So the latrobe escorts out here dosome training periodically. On Saturdays I'll14900:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.240have a group of people out thereand I always like to go up to15000:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.360the group. They'll have them likein a circle and it is, like15100:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.399you said, it's just a bunchof college students that are feeling you know,15200:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.879they feel like their social justice wadersright, whatever, and I just15300:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.519got them to the group and said, whatever she's telling you, I'll save15400:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.279you a lot of trouble. Justact like a jerk to us and your15500:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.360train just just act like you've alwayswanted to act against the people that you15600:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.799disagree with and you're good to go, fully trained. And then you know,15700:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.840sadly, that is pretty accurate.Okay, let's move on to the15800:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.600next one. Then it says hereare five things to help you deal with15900:11:43.639 --> 00:11:50.120protests, protesters. So they're givingfive pointers. Okay, so first of16000:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.559all, know that the protesters aresingle minded and want to take away your16100:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.000freedom. Yeah, yeah, sowhat we're out there doing? Yeah,16200:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.960I mean I actually am single mindedin the sense I'm okay with being single16300:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.840minded. But who? What arewe single minded about? Well, I16400:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.799mean, first and foremost, I'msingle minded about the fact that there's a16500:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.279God that we're all accountable to.Right, we'll all stand before him and16600:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.440give an account. So I'm singleminded on that. Um. As far16700:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.840as the idea, I mean thenotion is that we're single minded, we're16800:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.799just about the baby, that oldkind of pro abortion mantra, that we16900:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.159don't care, we're pro birth orwhatever. This is absurd, like anything17000:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.600else done. It's an absurd lie. We know that that's not true.17100:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.200We're not just single minded as itpertains to the baby. We want what's17200:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.679best for the mother and for thebaby, and we know that what's best17300:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.879for that mother is not that shekill her child. And as far as17400:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.320taking away their freedom, I mean, do I want people to Um?17500:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.639Don't want the freedom to kill otherpeople taken away from certain individuals? Yes,17600:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.120I do. Like you can turnthis around a hundred, fifty years17700:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.879ago. You know, these theseUH anti slavery abolitionists, they want to17800:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.240take away your freedom, and that'sthe same language that they use. They17900:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.399want to take hey, you peoplein the south, you plantation owners,18000:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.320you need people to work your fields. And these abolitionists, these people that18100:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.240want to do away with slavery,they want to take away your freedom,18200:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.600right, your freedom do to dowhat, to own other people as property.18300:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.440Yeah, and that's I want totake that freedom away. They don't18400:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.159end the phrase take away the freedom. Well, what freedom? Your freedom18500:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.320to kill your own child. Andyes, we agree with that. Statements18600:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.120we do want to take and that'sthat's where the similarities are. When we18700:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.480people poop poo the idea of proabortion, people do poo poopoo the idea18800:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.320of US equating slavery and abortion.Why do we do that? Is Because,18900:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.679essentially, the premises the same.There are certain human beings that we19000:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.120have the right to treat like property. You know what, what with your19100:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.200property? What can you do?Well, you can sell it, you19200:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.519can keep it, you can throwit away, you can do what you19300:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.360want. It's your property right.That's what happened with American slavery. There19400:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.879were your property. You can dowhatever you want to with them, right.19500:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.320No one can take that freedom awayfrom you. In the same way19600:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.000an unborn child with for that mother, it's her property, according to these19700:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.720people, and she can do whatshe wants to. She has the freedom19800:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.200to do what she wants to.We as a society have to stand for19900:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.639human life as having an intrinsic valuethat you just can't buy and sell or20000:14:28.679 --> 00:14:35.399throw away human life. It hasto be protected and valued. By the20100:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.720way, they call this killing ofan unborn child. They call it healthcare,20200:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.320and I just think it's always wiseto h to be sure to point20300:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.639out healthcare is designed to save lives, not to murder them. Right.20400:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.960So healthcare is just not a truestatement. This is not this is not20500:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.360healthcare. Okay. Then they goon to say don't engage. That's their20600:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.799their number two tip for for thefor the women coming. They say that20700:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.840some of these people on the sidewalkmight call themselves sidewalk counselors and they might20800:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.919try to be nice, but theyare giving false information. Some might be20900:15:09.039 --> 00:15:16.440aggressive. They give inaccurate depictions ofabortion and their goal is to shame or21000:15:16.480 --> 00:15:22.200intimidate you, and sometimes we pretendto be the real clinic escorts. Yeah,21100:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.480yeah, I mean whatever. Ican't speak to what other people are21200:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.639doing around the nation. Are they'reaggressive people, people that are more aggressive21300:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.399than what we would train folks to. Be sure that other people to use21400:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.399bullhorns and signs and flyers featuring inaccuratedepictions of abortion? I mean possibly,21500:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.960but I've always I've put this offon our pro aborts. Here are people21600:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.440who stand for abortion. You callit that, Um, and because they21700:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.200said we give out inaccurate information asfar as our brochures, so I've given21800:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.159it to several of them. PoliceCircle in this brochure. Any of the21900:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.559information that's in an act, that'sin act curate, and then show me22000:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.879what what is corresponding information that isaccurate. And I've never had one take22100:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.960me up on that. They've alwaysjust said things like you say abortion,22200:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.000Um calls his breast cancer and there'skind of these these other things. It22300:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.679really has nothing to do. Likeour brochure doesn't even talk about that,22400:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.200although in my opinion it could,but it does not. Right. Yeah,22500:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.679we could certainly get into that andI would certainly be more than willing22600:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.679to have a conversation, but theythrow out these other things that are just22700:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.799like. I mean, all theyare is just rabbit trails on the facts.22800:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.399I've given you a brochure. I'vesaid take a pen to it and22900:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.440show me what's inaccurate and I willchange because I want to be accurate.23000:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.559Right, we have a vested interestand being accurate, accurate, you can't23100:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.039get away with giving false information anymore. Yeah, people can look at right23200:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.960up. That's what I'll often say. Just look up any one of these23300:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.039facts, and I have had somecome back to me and say, Oh23400:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.039my bad, you're right, brainwaves are detectable at six weeks because they23500:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.200couldn't believe it. The thing is, they don't believe it. They been23600:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.599told lies by the people that surroundthem and they just accept as true what23700:17:03.799 --> 00:17:08.000they have never researched for themselves.Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely so.23800:17:08.519 --> 00:17:14.200Um, we would never want togive out inaccurate informational purpose, but23900:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.359if we're giving out inaccurate information,then please, plan parenthood. Tell me24000:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.319what that information that we're giving outthat's inaccurate is and we'll change it.24100:17:22.640 --> 00:17:27.160Yeah, yeah, and I wouldalso like to point out that there are24200:17:27.240 --> 00:17:33.480people that are lying out there.They're usually the people who are supporting abortion.24300:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.559One of the things I hear allthe time from them as the mother's24400:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.400approach in their cars or whatever.Don't talk to them. They have a24500:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.559deadly disease. First of all,we're we're filled with contagion. They tell24600:17:45.599 --> 00:17:51.279them that. Then they tell themeverything we say is a lie, that24700:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.279we don't have a real nurse.We have a mobile ultrasound unit at at24800:17:55.279 --> 00:18:00.599our facility here with sent out byhelp monroal pregnancy center. They say that's24900:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.039not a real medical clinic, wedon't have a real nurse, we have25000:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.359a fake nurse. So anyway.So they are lying. They are telling25100:18:08.400 --> 00:18:15.480lies about us and, Um,and we definitely need to to counteract that25200:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.960and and and talk about who thereal liar is. I mean, think25300:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.559about it. Who is making moneyoff of the situation? Exactly, not25400:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.599us. We're not asking these women, and I actually will say that.25500:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.519I'll say, listen, who standsto gain? I'm not asking you for25600:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.680anything, I'm offering things to youfor free. Is Plant Parent whood doing25700:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.559that? Because we know this isa point really to help these women,25800:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.759to see, we know that there'sa price tag associated with everything plant parent25900:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.680who does right, even the pregnancytests and all the other things that they26000:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.680do, there's some price tag that'sassociated with that. So who has a26100:18:53.759 --> 00:18:59.319vested interest in and getting you togo with them? More so than anyone26200:18:59.359 --> 00:19:04.400else, it's playing parenthood. They'remaking billions of dollars. We lose resources.26300:19:04.400 --> 00:19:08.960Gladly, we lose resources as women, you know, as we help26400:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.440women, we are happy to helpthem and to use our resources to help26500:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.400them, and that's the opposite ofone and Plant parenthood is profiting off of26600:19:18.480 --> 00:19:23.319the death of baby. So thenext one that they warn the people coming26700:19:23.359 --> 00:19:33.359to Plant parenthood know their tactics andbeware tactics, because sometimes we try to26800:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.960persuade them to visit their van.Our vans are mobile clinics, in again26900:19:37.039 --> 00:19:44.319in quotation marks, because mobile clinics, they think are fake Um and they27000:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.640they'll claim to offer free ultrasounds,pregnancy, pregnancy tests and counseling. But27100:19:49.759 --> 00:19:56.079this article by Plant Parenthood says it'sa roost. They are deliberately trying to27200:19:56.079 --> 00:20:03.200trick us into listening to disinformation andoften religious propaganda, and that we don't27300:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.400provide the full range of medical care, unlike plan parenthood. Okay, but27400:20:07.920 --> 00:20:15.359I mean parenthood. It is.It's so ludicrous. They they for example,27500:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.039they do not provide mamograms. Mymy reading was not a single one27600:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.440provides a single mammogram. Um,they do. They do, do manual27700:20:23.559 --> 00:20:30.240breast exams, but not a mammogram. They don't. They are mostly abortion,27800:20:30.839 --> 00:20:37.720birth control and now helping people totransition into another gender correct Um.27900:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.359So anyway. Uh. So,while it is true we hate abortion,28000:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.519we do not trick women, andI think we have to keep saying we28100:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.319do not. I one of thefirst things I say. My name is28200:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.799Vicky. I'm with Love Life,a ministry that is here to Um,28300:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.400provide hope and help so that youdon't need to feel that abortion is your28400:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.640only choice. There's nothing fraudulent.There's no attempt to trick them into thinking28500:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.119I am part of them. That'sthe last thing I would want to be28600:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.319is a part of them. SoUm, yeah, I mean we're we're28700:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.839on a regular basis in every conversation, trying to contrast us with the abortion28800:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.480center, not trying to pretend tobe the abortion clinic. For sure.28900:21:19.880 --> 00:21:26.799Now are there organizations that do thatstuff could be. Are there pregnancy centers29000:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.119that pretend to be abortion centers andthings like that? There certainly are,29100:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.480Um, and I'm not going toget into the morality of that. But29200:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.680that's not what we do and that'snot, I don't know, any sidewall29300:21:36.720 --> 00:21:41.200counselor that pretends to be a partof Plant parenthood or or whatever they're trying29400:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.519to uh say that we're um pretendingto be. But this idea that they29500:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.119don't offer the full range of stuff. I'm just gonna tell you, like29600:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.440the pregnancy centers that I know,that I'm associated with offer far more stuff29700:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.559than Plant parenthood does, affirming asopposed to life destroying. So it's different29800:22:03.640 --> 00:22:08.519stuff that is offered. But andif it's not offered through the pregnancy resource29900:22:08.519 --> 00:22:14.759center itself, they have a hugenetwork of resources, as does our ministry,30000:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.359so that that everything, every areathat woman needs addressed is going to30100:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.640be addressed. Yeah, yeah,I mean I think about help pregnancy center,30200:22:22.640 --> 00:22:27.920who's our partner here in Charlotte,amazing pregnancy center that has a prenatal30300:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.519clinic connected to their pregnancy center thatsees the women for free through all non30400:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.240months of pregnancy like that's amazing andthere are plenty of other places that do30500:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.359that across the nation. Right andI don't want to ignore what they say30600:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.880about that. We're going to forcethem into religion. I will tell you30700:22:45.079 --> 00:22:52.279right up front that would be blasphemousfor us to force someone to claim Jesus30800:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.480as Lord in order for them toreceive services from us. We don't do30900:22:57.559 --> 00:23:03.279that. We are against any kindof forcing in any kind of spiritual decision.31000:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.599But we are very upfront. Thereason we do what we do is31100:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.440because we love the Lord and andI am not ashamed of that at all.31200:23:11.680 --> 00:23:17.440It is what motivates not only usbut many charitable organizations, because they31300:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.000love the Lord. Okay, sothe next one they say block them out.31400:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.599They are. They are telling theseparents as they drive in, block31500:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.599those protesters out, and I lovehow they tell them to do it.31600:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.720Summon your inner rock star and wheresunglasses and a jacket or sweatshirt with the31700:23:34.759 --> 00:23:40.200hood pulled up to help avoid eyecontact. And then they give several suggestions31800:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.240about other ways that they can manageto Um, to be someone that Inter31900:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.880rock star and avoid Um hearing whatwe have to say. So it's interesting32000:23:48.920 --> 00:23:55.799that the pro so called pro choicegroup, is giving some very significant instructions32100:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.759in how to limit the choice forlife that they will not hear. The32200:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.160first stuff is so invalid. Ifthe information that we have is such misinformation,32300:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.119why in the world would you wantto shield people from it? You32400:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.200could just reaffirm the fact that you'reright and we're wrong by how ridiculous our32500:24:15.240 --> 00:24:21.559information yeah, and to that point, last week, maybe it was this32600:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.759week, I kind of lose trackof my days. A woman chose life32700:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.720and the people who support abortion toldher don't listen to them. They lie32800:24:30.519 --> 00:24:36.480and she and they said just pullin to the abortion center and the woman32900:24:36.519 --> 00:24:41.359told them to leave her alone thatand she was still actually considering the abortion.33000:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.400But when I asked her why shedid that, she said because I33100:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.759really hated the way they talked aboutyou and to me and to you.33200:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.680So I thought that was great thatthey could see the difference this woman who33300:24:55.759 --> 00:25:00.160was still actually abortion minded, butbut saw that difference, that who the33400:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.160people that she really needed to blockout was that sometimes you wonder, I33500:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.000wonder, don't these people have selfawareness? Do you know what I'm saying?33600:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.839Like that's a that's a that's agrave issue, I think in our33700:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.240modern society is that people don't haveself awareness. It's it's kind of like33800:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.839it is the funny analogy, butyou ever watch like American idol or?33900:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.279Yeah, ever, you ever beenlike in the first stages of it where34000:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.519people are auditioning and he can't seeingit all. They think that they can34100:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.960sing, they have had good friends, they have some good friends and they34200:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.759don't really have self awareness. Andso you wonder, Like Plan Parenthood,34300:25:38.839 --> 00:25:42.720these escorts, the way they comeacross. They're trying to legitimize, at34400:25:42.759 --> 00:25:47.799least that's what they say. They'retrying to legitimize abortion as healthcare and the34500:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.400abortion center as legitimate health care facility, and yet they're, you know,34600:25:52.680 --> 00:26:00.359claiming cow bells or you know us. Yeah, it's like it's Surd Um.34700:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.839Is it effective? Sometimes it's effectiveand getting people not to engage with34800:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.960us, but it makes I'll tellyou this, it's in the long run,34900:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.240gonna come back and bite them forsure, and it has. Those35000:26:12.240 --> 00:26:18.519places like latrobe here and you know, Plant parenthood here, are marked in35100:26:18.640 --> 00:26:23.640these communities, these close knit communitieslike minority neighborhoods and minority communities. These35200:26:23.640 --> 00:26:30.440places are marked in those communities asas circuses as the houses. It is,35300:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.279it is and I think the womenaren't stopping, sometimes not because Plant35400:26:33.279 --> 00:26:40.119parenthood has warned them as much asthey're terrified this circus going on. So35500:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.559the next point that they've given thatarticle get help from clinic escorts. I35600:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.200if I were pulling in that place, they are the last people. Let's35700:26:48.240 --> 00:26:55.200go to the circus and let's gethelp from the clowns man. So they're35800:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.720not going to help you. Andand it says that they may use umbrellas35900:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.599or are other things to shield youand to play music to help drown out36000:27:04.920 --> 00:27:10.240protesters voices. So they don't saywhat some of those other things are.36100:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.759But many times in the past ithas been pornography, blessed it over,36200:27:15.039 --> 00:27:23.160played over their vehicles, dancing invery suggestive ways, um using, like36300:27:23.240 --> 00:27:27.519you said, all kinds of crazyinstruments. And so what they are shielding36400:27:27.599 --> 00:27:33.200the women from that that word shieldsyou. What they are shielding the women36500:27:33.680 --> 00:27:41.160from Um is the legitimate choices ofthe of life, the truth of fetal36600:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.400development, the truth of the effectsof abortion, uh, the truth of36700:27:45.480 --> 00:27:51.599what God says about abortion and somany women who choose life. Tell me,36800:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.240I heard what you all were sayingand I knew it was right.36900:27:57.240 --> 00:28:00.839So we need to trust that.We need no matter how much shielding is37000:28:00.960 --> 00:28:07.400going on, from protecting these womenfrom truth. We do have the truth.37100:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.359Unfortunately, I think they know it. Yeah, yeah, they do37200:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.079know, at least some of themdo, and it's intimidating to them and37300:28:14.160 --> 00:28:19.519they have to come up with Um, so called counter tactics to counteract what37400:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.880we're doing. Um, what youguys are doing on the sidewalk is important.37500:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.160God's using it, the enemy seesit, and so, Um,37600:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.240when I say the enemy, Imean the devil, but the devil works37700:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.440through people often times, and sothose who are being used by the enemy37800:28:36.480 --> 00:28:40.599are seeing that what you guys aredoing is effective, and so they're writing37900:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.079articles and trying to counteract as muchas they can. But we know their38000:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.279articles, their umbrellas, their poolhorns or whatever they try to use are38100:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.519not a match for the God thatmade the heavens and the earth.
