“The reason that I don’t believe abortion is murder up until 24 weeks is because I don’t yet know that it’s alive.” You may not know that a fetus is alive prior to 24 weeks, but the rest of the world does. Being alive and being viable ex-utero are...

My opinion on abortion. No one at all should be able to tell a woman that she can’t have an abortion before the 20 week mark. Here is why… - Before 20 weeks, a fetus does not have the capabilities for complex neural activity that would be required to have a subjective subconscious. Without a subjective subconscious the fetus doesn’t even know it’s alive, and doesn’t even know it exists. It can’t feel pain, have dreams or have thoughts. - Before 22 weeks, a fetus simply is not considered viable. It almost never can survive outside of the womb even with intense medical intervention. Most scientists believe that sometime around 24-28 weeks is when a subjective subconscious is formed. At this point, I think it’s absolutely wrong to have an abortion, unless the mother’s life is in danger or the likelihood of the child surviving birth is extremely small. Fact is that less than 1% of all abortions in the US occur after 21 weeks. This equates to a little over 4,000 abortions per year. Of these 4,000 (1%), over 99% of them are in instances where a mother's life is in danger or the child has severe fetal anomalies incompatible with life outside of the womb. That means that less than 0.01% (less than 40) abortions per year take place after 21 weeks in which the mother's life isn't at risk or the baby isn't going to die upon birth. Historically, the Roe v. Wade decision (1973) allowed for the right to an abortion but permitted states to impose restrictions after viability (around 24 weeks). So that's why women want to be left alone. Women make the right decision for themselves. States can outlaw abortion after 24 weeks and very few people have problems with this. The federal government nor the states should control women.

The biggest reason why I think abortion should be up to the woman, under the care of a physician, is because the definition of "human life" differs depending on one's perspective. For example even many "pro-lifers" believe that a zygote, which is a fertilized egg that has not yet implanted into the uterine lining, is not yet "human life." This is why most pro-lifers are OK with birth control, even though some forms of birth control prevent the fertilized egg from implanting, thus killing off the fertilized egg. Others believe that the "heartbeat" of the embryo is what should determine the legality of abortion, even though the heartbeat in the early stages is nothing more than electrical activity within a group of cells that will eventually become the heart. Some believe that abortion should come after viability of the fetus, while others believe it should be when a fetus has a conscious awareness that it's alive. There are even some interpretations of Catholicism, that believe every act of ejaculation is supposed to be open to the possibility of creating life, which is why artificial contraception and masturbation can be considered sinful. Depending on your belief, you will have different definitions of what is right or wrong. Should politicians be able to tell men they can't ejaculate? Should they be able to tell women they can't take birth control? Should they have any right whatsoever to tell any woman when she should decide on taking actions that affect her body? Of course abortion in the final weeks of a pregnancy when the fetus is viable and the mother's life isn't at risk, is obviously wrong, but drawing the line early on is not so obvious to many people.

Watch how Charlie Kirk engages with a college liberal who claims baby fetuses are “parasites.” He never raised his voice. He never lost his temper. He just kept asking her questions until her entire argument started collapsing. Kirk: “What does fetus mean in Latin? It means little human being.” (smiling) Student: “His smile is very creepy.” Kirk: “Smiling is creepy?” Student: “No, your smile specifically. But let’s go back to —” Kirk: “What species is the fetus?” Student: “The fetus is not a species yet — it’s technically classified as a parasite until it is viable.” Kirk: “I can’t really get past that. Are you saying a baby is a disease or a tumor?” Student: “A parasite is not a disease and a tumor. Those are not the same thing. A parasite is defined as something that cannot survive outside its host. A baby before it is viable cannot survive outside of a woman’s womb.” Kirk: “So let’s extrapolate that. Are old people with Alzheimer’s and dementia that are being assisted every day — are they parasites?” Student: “No, they’re not parasites. They’re human beings who are on the brink of death.” Kirk: “So my four-month-old that requires mom’s breast milk and requires daily changes and feedings — cannot survive without its own — is my four-month-old the parasite?” I will never get tired of looking back and watching Charlie Kirk cordially cook his opponents under pressure. He was the calmest, sharpest, and most eloquent debater of his generation. Also would have made a great president. He will be dearly missed.

Watch how Charlie Kirk engages with a college liberal who says life begins when a baby exits the mother’s womb. He didn’t yell. He didn’t call her names. Instead, he asked her a series of critical questions until her argument completely fell apart. KIRK: “We know deep down it’s wrong to murder a baby.” STUDENT: “You’re not murdering a baby. It’s not a baby.” KIRK: “What is it then?” STUDENT: “It is an embryo, which is not a baby.” KIRK: “So at what point does it become a baby?” STUDENT: “When it is born.” [Crowd groans] STUDENT: “I don’t agree with abortions up to full-term abortions.” KIRK: “Hold on. But you said it becomes a baby when it’s born. Then why would you have abortion limits before it’s born? I thought it’s just an embryo. So embryo rights?” STUDENT: “No, embryo rights aren’t a thing.” KIRK: “But then where would you draw a line for abortion then? And why? And under what moral standard?” STUDENT: “There are medical reasons.” KIRK: “No, that’s not the question.” STUDENT: “You just asked me why would I not have an abortion full term. For medical reasons.” KIRK: “Okay, so at 29 weeks, the baby is nearly fully developed, can recognize the mother’s voice, has a heartbeat, has brainwaves. Is it okay to abort that baby?” STUDENT: “It’s not okay… I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. It’s not okay to have an abortion ever? How about like three weeks in?” KIRK: “Correct. No abortion. Correct.” STUDENT: “Why?” KIRK: “Well, because your life started at conception.” STUDENT: “It did not, though.” KIRK: “Well, hold on. So let’s play this out. So who are you as an individual? From your skin color to your eye color, to your likes, your dislikes, from your temperament to your everything.” STUDENT: “I am not an embryo. I’m a person.” KIRK: “Hold on a second. But it started with something called deoxyribonucleic acid. And your own individual DNA started at the point of egg and sperm meeting. That’s where your journey started. And so from that point in particular, life begins not at birth, not at first words, not at first steps, but when your DNA [developed], which is who you actually are… That doesn’t happen at eight weeks or 10 weeks. It happens at conception.” STUDENT: “What happens if you need a medical abortion? If the mother will die if she does not get an abortion? What’s your stance on that?” KIRK: “The only place where medical abortion is necessary is before 20 weeks, which is incredibly rare.” STUDENT: “What if she will die? What if the mother will die?” KIRK: “This is a very important question. Let’s say it’s 27 weeks, okay? And the mother will die… Why don’t we just have the baby delivered by cesarean section? You know what a cesarean section is, right?” STUDENT: “A C-section.” KIRK: “Why wouldn’t we just put the baby up by C-section instead of terminating it?” STUDENT: “Because if the mother will die, it’s not safe to do that.” KIRK: “But it’s actually safer than an abortion. So every time they say… ‘Oh, you need to have abortion for medical reasons.’ Respond, ‘then have a C-section.’” STUDENT: “What if you’re not able to have a C-section? What if you are on your deathbed? You need to have an abortion right now?” KIRK: “First and foremost, C-section is safer, C-section is quicker. And a C-section saves both lives.” [Crowd erupts]
