fertilized and by that I mean sperm get accepted by ova a lot. But that’s not all you need.

You have to attach to the uterine wall, the inside of a womb, a woman’s womb. But if

you’re going to hold that as a standard, that is to say if you’re going to say when

an egg is fertilized it’s therefore has the same rights as an individual, then whom

are you going to sue? Whom are you going to imprison? Every woman who’s had a fertilized

egg pass through her? Every guy who’s sperm has fertilized an egg and then it didn’t

become a human? Have all these people failed you? It’s just a reflection of a deep scientific

lack of understanding and you literally or apparently literally don’t know what you’re

talking about. And so when it comes to women’s right with respect to their reproduction,

I think you should leave it to women. This is really – you cannot help but notice.

I’m not the first guy to observe this, you have a lot of men of European descent passing

these extraordinary laws based on ignorance. Sorry you guys. I know it was written or your

interpretation of a book written 5,000 years ago, 50 centuries ago, makes you think that

when a man and a woman have sexual intercourse they always have a baby. That’s wrong and

so to pass laws based on that belief is inconsistent with nature. I mean it’s hard not to get

frustrated with this everybody. And I know nobody likes abortion, okay. But you can’t

tell somebody what to do. I mean she has rights over this, especially if she doesn’t like

the guy that got her pregnant. She doesn’t want anything to do with your genes, get over

it, especially if she were raped and all this. So it’s very frustrating on the outside,

on the other side. We have so many more important things to be dealing with. We have so many

more problems to squander resources on this argument based on bad science, on just lack

of understanding.

It’s very frustrating. You wouldn’t know how big a human egg was if it weren’t for

microscopes, if it weren’t for scientists, medical researchers looking diligently. You

wouldn’t know the process. You wouldn’t have that shot, the famous shot or shots where

the sperm are bumping up against the egg. You wouldn’t have that without science.

So then to claim that you know the next step when you obviously don’t is trouble. Let

me do that again. Let me just pull back. At some point we have to respect the facts. Recommending

or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective. Just being objective here. Closing

abortion clinics. Closing, not giving women access to birth control has not been an effective

way to lead to healthier societies. I mean I think we all know that. And I understand

that you have deeply held beliefs and it really is ultimately out of respect for people, in

this case your perception of unborn people. I understand that. But I really encourage

you to look at the facts. And I know people are now critical of the expression fact based

but what’s wrong with that? So I just really encourage you to not tell women what to do

and not pursue these laws that really are in nobody’s best interest. Just really be

objective about this. We have other problems to solve everybody. Come on. Come on. Let’s

work together.
