Unhinged Republican Asks WILD Questions To Doctor During Abortion Rights Hearing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2022
- Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson asked Dr. Yashica Robinson during a House hearing on abortion rights whether or not she supported a women’s right to have an abortion if the baby is “halfway out of the birth canal”. Obviously in shock from the statement, Dr. Robinson threw cold water on the hypothetical even though Johnson interpreted it as her avoiding the question. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

"Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) at abortion access hearing: "How about if a child is halfway out of the birth canal? Is an abortion permissible then?”
Dr. Yashica Robinson: "I can't even fathom that ... just like you probably can't imagine what you would do if your daughter was raped.”"

If you're "aborting" a living baby that is currently being born.... What do you just pull the baby out and then kill the baby?? Like what in the actual fuck are they even talking about??!
Haven't you heard Republicans make the false claim about abortion until the moment after birth? Trump does a whole sick shtick about it. I cannot believe people actually buy such bs.
Had I been the doctor, my answer to his outrageous, ignorant questions would be, "Excuse me, Congressman, ARE YOU EFFING THAT STUPID?"
And this is why the decision should be left to a woman and her doctor
Let’s not forget about the Republican lawmakers who insisted that women couldn’t get pregnant if they were raped 🤦♀️
Ava Barker: A 10year old in Ohio would beg to differ, as would I. I could give them an earful about my extremely brutal and traumatic experience, the stupid know-nothings!
This is what my now X told me when i was newly married in the late 60s!
I don’t think this guy could’ve possibly passed sex-Ed in high school.
You can't abort a baby that's half way out! It's aborting itself! WTF is wrong with these Republicans?
EVERYTHING!
Omg right?? If it's halfway out and she doesn't want it, then give it up for adoption once it's out. It's coming out no matter what at that point...
Drinking too much of own Kool aid decades.
It's just endless fear mongering from Republicans.
It is disingenuous of them to be even asking about late-term or partial-birth abortions when in reality they keep pushing abortion bans that are earlier and earlier.
If I were the Physician who was being questioned, I would have told this idiot, "Do you hear or even understand how ridiculous your question is? If you think this actually happens, please share and cite factual data in which what you are asking happens?"
As one wise man said,
_Do not accept a premise of assholes._
When a baby and mother is healthy and the mother is in the process of giving birth but no longer wants the child that’s where foster and adoption comes into play. Never has abortion been used in that situation Mr Republican questioner.
Who goes to an abortion clinic while they’re in labor? No clinic would admit them, they’d send the mother to a delivery room.
I wish the GOP would act like grown ups. My God, Congress on the right is like a daycare.
My sister in law had to carry her stillborn for 6 months in the 1960s. This was so hard on her emotionally, let's not go back. Women need to have better, no matter the country.
"What if it was halfway out of the birth canal?"
That's called *BIRTH* the thing that means a baby is being born. It's a process where the mother has no spare time to think about anything other than birth.
That question is so lame we know they are just trying to infuriate and bait people.
I do wish these people/doctors testifying would prepare for these inane questions though, using reasoned science and logic instead of staring and stammering. It’s easy to get a quick rundown of the specious arguments the right has been trying to promulgate for decades now.
The baby has to take a breath . There is a procedure where they stick in a rod to the baby’s brain to kill it and then use forceps to get every body part out . Then they have to count the parts on the tray to make sure they got every one .
I don't know how these doctors can get through these ridiculous hearings wothout losing their shit.
They probably sit there thinking about all the useful things they could be doing with their valuable time.
I had a miscarriage and started hemorrhaging and had to go to the hospital. If that happened now would they let me bleed to death. I wanted to have this baby I had no choice. Nobody should have the right to tell my doctor what they should do to help their patients. These men should have to have women tell them they have to have a vasectomy. See how they like that or take their viagra away!
YESSSS ✊🏽
"Do you believe, then, that men can be pregnant and have abortions?"
My instant quip back to him would have been, "Well if men 'could' become pregnant, and have abortions, I can guarantee you there would be an abortion clinic on every corner."
😂
Well, trans men can become pregnant and may need an abortion.
Trans women can't, but many cis women also can't. But that doesn't matter as pregnancies and abortions are discussed and not the definitions of men or women. Does it really matter what gender identity the pregnant person has?
@@ChromeSalvationBMX An adult human female. Add something to clarify. A trans woman for example would usually be biologically male but transitioned to female. A cis woman would be born female and identify as female. There's also post menopausal women which aren't able to naturally get pregnant anymore, just like other women who can't get pregnant for various reasons.
It is completely irrelevant to the abortion discussion, though. You could talk about a pregnant person and have the same discussion.
We tend to say women as the cases of trans men being pregnant a rare but I'm sure they can still identify as they're biologically female and this relates to a female body with the ability to get pregnant.
@@ChromeSalvationBMX I saw no contradictions in the other post. Only caveats as human biology can be rather complex.
But a woman is indeed an adult human presumably with female outer anatomy (though there are folks born with ambiguous genitalia, just fyi)
The ability to get pregnant naturally does indeed vary, since there could be complications with the internal sex organs. That’s just a biological fact.
So using the ability to get pregnant as a barometer to determine who is a woman is rather flawed, to put it mildly.
And indeed doing so renders anyone who experiences the completely natural process of menopause as “not a woman.” See? Flawed.
One also has to take into account the various intersex conditions. Like for instance Swyer Syndrome. A person born with XY chromosomes, external female genitalia and (usually) external functioning gonads that are removed at birth to allow for unhindered puberty. With hormonal treatment such women can give birth naturally, fun fact. Are such folks men because they have a Y chromosome?
Then there’s conditions like XX male syndrome. Sometimes called “true hermaphrodites.”
Someone born with XX chromosomes but externally male. What would classify them as?
Since you seem rather focused on gender identity and all.
Chromosomes are also not a good barometer as that too varies considerably and doesn’t always determine the external genitalia one can be born with, as I’ve just pointed out.
Since this topic is abortion specifically, I really don’t see the importance of identity in such a discussion. Whether or not someone identifies as male, female, neither or both, is largely irrelevant. If they can get pregnant through whatever means and abortion is desired (early trimester) or medically necessary (late term) that’s all that really matters to the discussion.
Bear in mind that unlike some folks, I actually know what the birthing process is. Apparently governors in America need a brush up on basic sex ed, going by this video
Did you manage to follow all that or would you prefer me to “dumb down” the language further? I don’t mean that as an insult, I’m just trying to ensure I was being clear enough in my response. I tend to be “flowery” in my writing.
@@sylverscale it does to cray-cray GOPpers!
Why don't people when asked these questions tell them that they have lost their minds
I lost a baby at 5.5 months. I had to have a surgical DNC, that isn't aborting a child. Fuck anyone who says that I didn't have the right to have the baby removed. I went through months of sadness after losing my child. Do they want women to carry dead babies to full term? Risk the mothers life? I don't understand.
Neither do THEY!! and therein lies the problem....
I'm usually a proponent of "there are no stupid questions", today I'm proven wrong.
That lady has the patience of a saint.
How she refrained from asking whether or not he had a braincell at all was impressive lol
I feel you're confusing a *dumb* question (which might be excusable to a certain degree) with a *bad faith* question which is simply used as a tool to keep the simple minded followers of right wing BS enraged.
And these people are paid by the American tax payer to ask these questions.
@@someonerandom8552 oh he has at least a few braincells, question is are any of them NOT dead/fried?
@@kimkacer782 Lol fair point
What part of "That doesn't happen" did he NOT understand?
It just doesn't happen not even theoretically. That's why she won't entertain such an absurdity.
They care about the baby till you have it, then it's every baby for him or her self with no help from anyone !
The absurdity of their questions only shows their ignorance.
smh
Politicians should be expelled from the government for doing bad faith BS like this.
Why couldnt she answer the question.
agreed.
Can't believe this is what's sitting in a law making body, ...this is a nightmare!
worse, I can't believe we have to pay him in real money!
What’s next! This is insanity. So if a mothers life ends after the baby is born yall gonna arrest the baby for murder? Or the doctor for not saving both lives? Sounds stupid right!
They don't even have to understand basic biology classes to make these kinds of decisions. It is disgusting.
I found out what 'prolife' was really all about when my daughter decided to not have kids. They were furious that she was 'getting away with something.' Showed how much they really value children.
Ugh. Sorry your daughter had to be judged like that. Hopefully she didn't let those people get to her. I worked at 2 different PP's and I saw how much these people use religion as the excuse for their awful behavior. It has even made some women suicidal by making them feel bad about themselves. These people are sick.
It's pretty disturbing how anti-choicers characterize sex as something a woman should have no control over whatsoever, including whether or not she gets pregnant. That's misogyny for you.
@@feathersigil2048 They also see having to give birth and raise a child as some sort of cosmic comeuppance.
I can't be the only who thinks the average sane person never gets up close to a politician to propose a reasonable solution
Restricting campaign donations might help. You either have to be rich or fanatically dedicated to get through to a US senator or congressperson. I’m Canadian. Campaign donations are capped at $5000.00 (might be going to $10,000) per person, organization or company per year. And if you’re on the board of a company, or own a company, you can’t have both your company and you donate. Official parties are given campaign funds from the federal government. And every penny donated and spent has to be accounted for, and they’re public, and there’s a lot of stuff you can’t spend it on. You can’t spend your own money, you can’t use your office resources (seriously, one guy lost his seat because he used his official office to photocopy campaign flyers). What this means is that an individual can actually meet with their MP- (Member of Parliament) or MPP- (member of provincial parliament). And only a very, very few become influential or even famous. Big corporations and lobby groups and super PACs don’t get to run the agenda. They have influence, yes, but NOTHING like in the US. Don’t get me wrong- politicians here don’t all put the needs of their constituents first, but they usually ‘get’ that their job is to work towards good governance, not to gain power and get rich.
It’s worse than that. Experts testify in hearings and it makes no difference. Facts and reality don’t talk as loudly as money, fear, pride, and ignorance.
@@MollyBowling Recently that happened in Florida where a doctor testified before they passed a 6 week ban. There was also Kentucky's ban where Dr Karen Berg was a state senator and schooled the others... right before they passed their law. I suspect keeping their base dumb is behind a lot of the GOP efforts in schools and elsewhere.
This guy has no idea what hes talking about, but I'm glad the doctor does.
Men should not be in control of women's health
Maybe someone should ask them what a woman is?
I think only women , on a statewide ballot can vote on abortion as it only affects women's bodies and rights. Otherwise we should give vasectomies to sexually mature males that can only get it reversed with a notarized signature from their wife. Redone after procreation. We have half the population we can do this .
It's sad and frightening that these people are elected officials.
I know, especially knowing that there are people who _willingly_ vote for them.
Biden?
@@hq9344 Biden what? I don't understand your question anymore than you understood the video it seems.
@@fuckhandles. I think I understand… but let me see? Maybe i can help where the good dr couldn’t: Men are women and women are men and men can get pregnant. Women can have penises and men can breast feed. Everyone is gender fluid bird monkey lizards. But that can change tomorrow. Tomorrow you can be a coffee table. You can kill a baby whenever you want And it’s all republicans fault for asking questions about simple human anatomy. There is no agenda. And soros doesn’t back and fund TYT.
And life long crime families like the pelosis and Bidens love us and are not to blame. And were elected… 80 million votes of course
Did I get it? Do I understand the video? Tell me tell me … please tell me
@@hq9344 look at all that aingst I'd swear I'm talking to a teenager. Seriously though that's a lot of hate. Why don't you pray about it?
This is like asking a scientist to explain what goes on in a Dr Who episode.
Or its like asking some one if killing a baby in the birth canal is bad and that person, scientist or not, could not and would not answer the question. Which case is more absurd in your opinion?
@@LamaKING21 If it’s in the birth canal, then birth is occurring. No doctor is going to intentionally harm the viable fetus at that stage. That’s beyond absurd.
What might happen is they will likely prioritise the mother’s life if it becomes a medical emergency. But that’s just what doctors are trained to do. Save both and if they can’t, save one at least.
Such a question posed is so out of the realm of possibility even giving any answer to it gives it way more dignity than it deserves.
I wouldn’t bother with such blatant stupidity either.
@@someonerandom8552 It is entirely an absurd question YET she could NOT answer it. He legit asks if thats something supports. She could NOT say no. Not even “No, unless the mother’s life is in danger then generally no.”
Thats like asking “do you support child rape, what about child murder?” And then not having an answer other than “well. Thats between an adult or individual and their psychiatrist, pastor, or whoever.” That is insane.
EDIT/addition: The question isnt out of the realm of possibility when literally Schumer’s most recent bill proposal sought to protect abortion up to 9 months.
With that. She DID engage with the stupid question and her answer was just as absurd. Its not that she didnt bother. Its that she did and wtf. Its one thing to laugh and walk away from some one and another to actually address their claim. She addressed it with a HORRIBLE take.
@@someonerandom8552 troll
@@baje1122 Sure. Asking entirely legitimate questions on how this “health professional” is unable to clarify that aborting a baby at delivery, in the canal, or post delivery is not ok and a decision between a woman and her healthcare provider… ok bud. If some one asked me, “do you support murdering 12 year olds” Id immediately say “no. Wtf are you talking about that is absurd.” NOT avoid the question and then go “that is a decision between the child and their murder.”
I have 3 children. The second time my wife and I conceived, the baby died at 16 weeks gestation. That was traumatic for us both, because my wife had to go in for a d&c, and all I could do was hold her hand and cry with her.
I can't imagine that anyone who is pregnant takes ending that life lightly, but I do know that that should ultimately be the decision of the person carrying the baby.
I am so sorry. I've heard multiple stories like yours, unfortunately.
@@macpro75 it happens all the time. Which is why a ban on abortions makes no sense. Having a baby should be a joyful event, not something you're forced into. I'm a conservative Christian, but pro-life isn't a Christian thing, it's about whether a woman is subjugated to the potential life growing inside her.
I'm surprised there isn't a massive outcry from libertarians.
He makes me wish that abortion was retroactive. 🙄🤦♂️
OMFG...these people have no clue what they are talking about! That poor doctor 🤦♀️
His line of questions was so ridiculous he might as well asked what she would do if a dragon attacked her.
if the fetus is a person, tell the little fucker to get a job and support itself. stop mooching off the mother.
My 20-something cousin just had to have a D&C because she'd, sadly, had an ectopic pregnancy and her life was at serious risk. THANK GOD we live in NYS!!!! She went through the D&C and it crushed her spirit. A little bit of backstory on my cousin. She was a teenage Mom and while in utero it became obvious that her babys health was at serious risk, the fetus had a major heart defect and for weeks into months the neonatel specialists were reying to come up with a game plan as to how to proceed or to end the pregnancy because they really did NOT believe that baby would survive the stress of childbirth. She ended up going to term but her baby boy was still in serious condition and since his birth he has had a dozen open heart surgeries including one shortly after his birth. So her losing this most recent pregnancy has been devastating and would have beem so much worse had we lived in a state that didnt allow "abortions" which is nothing more than a NECESSARY medical procedure, because my cousin would have died a horrible and AVOIDABLE death AND left her young son to go through the rest of his life without his BIGGEST SUPPORTER, PROTECTOR, teacher and MOM.
WTF....no...this would not be an abortion!!! This is why men should not be involved in the abortion question.
Men and politicians of both genders. Strictly doctor patient matter!!! Super important medical procedure. Saves lives.
Abortion while IN THE BIRTH CANAL???? How stupid!!
My answer to his question would have been, "Congressman, are you really that dumb or just pretending to be?"
she should have answered the question, but wouldn’t because she’s a shill
This is absolutely insane! She held her own though!
No she didn’t
Its insane that she couldnt answer the question. She did not hold her own.. If you failed to recognize just how crazy it is that a health professional cannot say with certainty that abortion up to delivery is not ok then I am sure that you get scammed on the regular...
BTW, the question stems from the fact that there are states with legislation allowing abortion up to 9 months and even schumer's recent bill proposal included this... So in other words, It DOES happen and far more often than people would like to admit.
@@hq9344 Could she have done a bit better? Probably. Could she have done far worse? Yes, could he have done a bit worse? It'd be quite difficult, but yeah, sure, Could he have done better? Obviously, if he had a FUNCTIONAL brain, yes. He doesn't seem to have one though so.... she beat him, though I would have preferred she condescend a tad more forcefully, putting his pea brain in it's place - the dumpster.
@@kimkacer782 she’s nothing more then a NWO radical mouth piece. Tyt is funded by g soros.
That dr was a complete fool and could not even answer the question of what a woman is. Playing games
They wanted a definitive yes or no answer so that it would give credence to their charlatan behavior. She did well to not fall into that cesspit of chicanery.
So…does that congresscritter think that a “partial-birth abortion” means an abortion performed in the middle of a normal, at-term birth‽‽
For anybody who genuinely doesn’t know: the “partial birth” in “partial-birth abortion” doesn’t refer to an at-term natural delivery. It refers to the fact that the fetus is removed from the uterus intact. That’s it. The fetus could be already dead before the procedure begins, or even before it’s contemplated. It is probably too young to be birthed or to survive outside the womb. But most often this procedure is because either the fetus or the mother or both are in severe, even life-threatening, danger. Or because the fetus is already dead, which is itself a life-threatening situation for the mother. Or because the fetus is non-viable and this was only discovered late in the pregnancy. Or because the fetus is non-viable and asinine laws passed by ignorant assholes like this guy delayed the abortion, turning what would’ve been a less-invasive, less-gruesome procedure when the mother first wanted it, into this. If the fetus is developed enough to survive outside the womb, and healthy, they’re going to do an emergency C-section or emergency induced birth, not an abortion.
Also, aborting a fetus mid-delivery isn’t a thing! If for some reason a mother were to decide mid-labor that they don’t want a healthy baby, the doctors are just going to finish delivering the baby, and then figure out how to put it up for adoption or something. They’re not going to abort it or perform infanticide.
"Congresscritter" -- love it.
They’re literally making up horror movie scenarios that never happen.
😅😂😂Congresscritter. Love the new word.
I've replaced Congressperson in my Funk & Wagnall with Congresscreature/critter. ❤❤❤
WTAF?! Those are absolutely ridiculous questions.
Oh, right away his questions worry me because if the baby comes out stillborn they will charge the mother with murder.
Bully and lying. It would be more impressive if they did anything for the children they force mothers to have. Their interest in life ends with birth.
What an ignorant approach to questioning in a congressional hearing! These MEN don’t know ANYTHING!!!!
I'm pretty damn sure that 'aborting' a baby minutes before it is to be birthed or as it is being birthed..... would just be birthing it.
How dare you speak reason...people are trying to spin BS and here you are saying sane things...
Exactly! Get it Anna!
To be fair, we must look at it from their perspective. It goes to self-preservation. If they don't force us to bring non-viable, diseased discharge to term, we'll eventually run out of Republican congressmen... 🤔
When GOP can’t argue with ideal situations, they try to spread fear when asking the utmost unreasonable questions 🤦🏻♀️
Yeaaaah!!!! GOP scared everyone about the China virus!!! GOP is spreading fear about monkeypox. The gop burned down cities and murders every election year!!!! The gop funds all the hate groups like BLM and antifa!!!! And tyt!!! It’s not g soros!!!! It’s not bill gates!!! It’s not the biden and oboma crime families!!!! It’s white gops!!!!!! They are the problem…. We just bite Democrat every year, especially in big cities, where you can see all the crime rates dwindling and all the poor are no longer!!!!!
Really? An unreasonable question? The *situation* in his question is unreasonable, yes. But why can't she just say "obviously IF that totally unreasonable situation presented itself to me, I wouldn't kill an infant who was already halfway outside his mother"? What is stopping her from saying she wouldn't kill a halfborn babe? If the situation is so unreasonable as to never be encountered than she should be able to answer in whatever way makes her look as goodly and saintly as she wants, since her values and ethics on this situation will never be tested. Right?
A better way would be to call the question stupid. Apparently, there are such things a stupid questions. It would seem to me that if the child is already in the birth canal, it would be impossible to abort.
I want to hear his response to what she said, "Just like you probably can't imagine what you would do if your daughter was raped." The question is all about power and control!
Except for people do get raped. No one does a partial birth abortion on a healthy baby. Or even a late term abortion.
It was a crass and stupid response. Really weird.
She was a Dr, talking about unrestricted access to abortion (a medical procedure), which, if unrestricted (as I believe it should be), would include late term abortions.
Mentioning his daughter theoretically getting raped was weird and conduct unbecoming of a Dr.
@@SamS-uv2ql The guy specifically said, a "healthy" baby. Her statement was meant to illustrate the absurdity of women aborting a healthy fetus after viability. But like I said, women do get raped, but they don't terminate 3rd trimester for birth control.
I too reject any restrictions. If a woman wants it removed, she should be able to have it removed; period. We can't know her state of mind and we have to trust that she does. I don't think removing a viable baby (for adoption) instead of abortion is an undue burden on the woman. The result is the same for her.
Ultimately, my position is this, life and death decisions are made every day. This one is hers, she has to live with it. No one has the right to make that decision for her.
The responsibility of society is to reduce unplanned pregnancies by providing comprehensive sex education and making contraception available to all. And to reduce unwanted pregnancies by providing support to families via single payer health care, child care assistance, state paid education, etc. We can make having the baby a less burdensome option.
The Doctors statement was a little crass, and it failed to slow down the right's absurd line of questioning.
@@charlidog2 Yes he did say healthy baby and she didn't answer.
She should have done, it is a valid question you should answer when advocating for unrestricted access to abortion.
You and I would have been able to answer without weaponising rape. A deplorable act by that Dr.
@@SamS-uv2ql , His question was crass and stupid the Dr. made perfect sense.
Some of these men are ridiculous and should be shamed and shunned from society
The frustration is overwhelming. So much suffering caused by idiots .
That black medial doctor clapped back on the dude real quick with the “I can’t imagine just like you probably can’t imagine what you would do if your daughter was raped.” Loved that quickness of her because that’s how I respond to idiotic people arguments as well on a subject that they aren’t experts in.
I would have preferred she say somehing like, "I know of no instances, except when the mother, baby or both would die, or suffer, then die not long after, without an abortion, are you, sir, advocating withholding treatment from women who have babies that will die anyway, if born, within a month or less of birth, most likely, at best hours. But whose birth will kill the mother, is that your position? ? And if it is, why is it you hate women so very much?"
'AND WHAT IF A UNICORN FLEW THROUGH THE WINDOW AND FARTED OUT RAINBOW BUBBLES THAT TASTED LIKE CANDY.'
WHAT THEN
WHAT THEN
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
LOL
Best :)
This man is so clueless it’s incredible.
I wish these people would care so much about the babies once they are born than while they are still in a womb. How about gun control for the safety of our children , so they can go to school without being afraid to get shot
Halfway through labour "I've had enough, could you murder the child for me please?"
Yep. Happens ALL the time. 🙄
Excellent segment. Extremely powerful - well done!
Powerful if youre mentally handicapped
This is America as we know it today. What a stupid question.
Moral conundrum... Your in a fertility clinic, making a deposit, and the fire alarm goes off. As you are heading to the exit, you hear a baby crying. Looking in the room, you see a baby in a bassinet sitting on a refrigerator clearly marked as containing 5000 viable human embryos. Which do you save? The flames are closing in, and you only have time to rescue one.
Which do you choose?
What is the difference?
Enough said...
At this point the lack of scientific and medical knowledge most Republican leaders exhibit makes me wish a test was required before running for office.
They are trying to practice medicine without a licence.
Are these men for real? These things NEVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN
oh, but there was that one time with the friend of his cousin's 5th wife's, cousin's best friend's daughter's boyfriends sister. ;)
Trust and believe that these people don’t care about babies or children. These are pure sociopaths. They hate you.
I have been a nurse for 40 years working 4 days a week that doesn't happen. The baby could be born still born. We have coded the mother and still try to save the baby.. The cord could be wrap around the neck put we still save the baby. This guy should listen to the facts instead of drumming fear.
Drumming up fear is 50% of all the Republicans have right now. The other 50% is hatred.
"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE" is a common phrase when in mid-delivery, but it does not mean what they think it means.
Maybe licensed physicians should be allowed to do there job takening care of patients. Congressmen would be better to , I don't know? Investigate corruption in there own political party. Seems to be enough corruption to keep them busy until voted out of office.
I had an ectopic pregnancy. I would have died if I didn't have surgery, In this person's thought, it would have been more important for me to die.
Well according to to the “Handmaidens Tale” republicans, then it would be “God’s will” that you died. But you can bet some of those very republicans who vote against women’s reproductive health care rights have paid for their mistress or their own teenage daughters to have abortions
Me too!
It's not only that these males don't understand but that they don't want nor care to understand. They don't sympathise nor do they empathise because they lack any motivation nor intention to care.
What would happen if she would ask for someone who is not an idiot ask the questions. How can he continue to ask stupid questions?
Wtf...how can these cant have babies ass MEN TRY TO TELL WOMEN WHAT THE HELL A WOMAN IS... THEY STUCK BACK IN TIME... WHERE MEN HAD FULL CONTROL OVER WOMEN.. I'M SO PISSED
We all are! Welcome to *the resistance* 👍🤘🖖
I congratulate the doctor who didn't put up with the BS that these ignorant men were putting out. She gave perfect answers.
That is so weird. They are grasping at straws
They guy that asked do you believe if a guy got pregnant, could they have an abortion? Let me say if that was at all possible, these hearings would never be taking place!!!
There was a really old joke: _If men could become pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament._ I can't remember the comedian (George Carlin maybe?) but the joke and its point always stayed with me.
@@macpro75 probably George. He was a great comedian! Made you think
That’s not an abortion… at that point he was talking about actual birth. She would get a C section if the baby gets stuck in birth canal.
I was wondering if c section would be banned as abortion? ARE
REPUBLICANS REALLY THAT IGNORANT?!
IGNORANCE IS NOT A BLISS ITS DANGEROUS
A man should not have the right to make any decision regarding women
No woman would do an abortion after carrying for full term.
The disoriented face of the doctor was precious! You could almost see the WTF popping into her head.
I saw that! 😆
Is there a woman on the judicial board? Could a woman as the questions? These guys are clueless.
That doctor has so much composure. I would not have been able to hold in my laughter. Clearly that guy has no clue how labor works. 🤣
But she cant define a woman..
@@harimakenji7608 again b/c it's a trick, bs Q.
@@kimkacer782 if its a trick stupid question then its easier to reply since its a no brainer. Ive sit through many tribunals and it makes you look bad if cant answer no brainers. Its like being asked a really dumb question: if you no longer like your son, can you just walk up and stab him?
Stupid and extreme but it's very disturbing if you are avoiding and not say....wtf no never
@@harimakenji7608 You do not understand, the question, if answered truthfully will be complex - long answer. So then they can pick one small part of the complex answer & twist it around to mean something that sounds stupid, or which can support her opposition's position. They (her opposition) will be lying through not saying/revealing the whole answer she gives. She is smart enough to know this. It's less trouble to decline to answer.
@@kimkacer782 the whole answer she gives would just be a simple 1 word response....how would they not give whole answer? People can also watch the whole video in full.
Those guys are really in congress?? You have to be kidding me what an embarrassment!!! They need to be ejected from congress and banned for life wtf
They are making up situations that don’t exist!
Its really ridiculous. These are not realistic scenarios. I’ve never even heard of the scenarios he’s talking about and I’ve trained in ob/gyn for years. You would never do that because its a birth at that point, not an abortion. No woman would wait that long to terminate a pregnancy anyway. It just doesn’t make sense.
@@Ivy94F It's been a right-wing talking point - and used to attack 'the left' or 'the democrats' for a long time now. They've sold it to their base via the internet and now so many of the cult believe it is a real thing. I hope those like you - real obgyn professionals can get out the truth!
and these men are making health care decisions for all females.....
Scary isn't it?
Calling them lawmakers is a joke... 🤡
The man knows nothing about a woman's body
IF he has children, I'd bet he was in a bar with his buddies drinking while his wife was going through a well-medicated birth experience. 🙄
This is the most ridiculous line of questing I have ever heard. These man have no knowledge of pregnancy, what takes place during pregnancies or even the birth process. Could even one draw a simple drawing of the female anatomy. They could probably not even draw where the zygote is placed. That can be proven when they have no comprehension of where the zygote is when tubal pregnancies take place or why they are treated as emergencies. If a child is half born then mother will continue to contract to push the fetus out.
I would love to have a doctor be able to follow up by asking these men follow up questions. Even asking them if it is a breech delivery. So aggravating to even listen to such stupidity.
“Never happened in your practice but it happens” with no source whatsoever
How any WOMAN can VOTE REPUBLICAN, or anyone for that matter, is simply beyond my comprehension!!!#jfc
Tax cuts for the rich. Rich people vote Republican so they can get even richer. Non-rich people vote Republican because they hate gays/immigrants/abortion/non Christians/gun control/common sense etc.
30% of the voting population are severely brain damaged from all the lead and inflicted deregulation and/or censorship practices in their (red states/cotton belt/bible belt,etc) schooling systems
I would have asked if he could give me a specific EXAMPLE of that abortion at birth of a healthy baby!
I've been waiting for a Doctor to say this to them, they seem to be completely perplexed when asked and just not know what to say .. one of them needs to prepare for the insanity beforehand
The way ppl talking about women is ridiculous.
"It happens."
Really? SHOW US EVIDENCE OF THAT.
I doubt they have any. And if they happen to produce such videos featuring 'examples', it's most likely staged.
@@pigtailsandteddybears If they ever had ANY evidence of any of the idiotic and impossible things they constantly claim, THEY WOULD NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
If they had a single shred of evidence of the election being stolen, they would be blasting it on every right wing network 24/7. They would be having Congressional meetings to show it to everyone.
"If a baby is half out of the birth canal, do you support the right to abort it?"
"Well, sir, if it will grow up to be a republican Senator asking stupid questions like this, I suppose I do."
That was Mike Johnson, my unfortunate representative, he never responded when I asked what he would do if his wife or daughter was raped and impregnated. He does not think for himself, he ONLY follows other Alt-right representatives. Like all laws in Louisiana, they always play catch-up to other states.
What ah ignorant, stupid, worthless question. I think that when a baby is halfway out and removed from the woman that is called a birth, not abortion. He was also just plain rude, interrupting her answers.
An abortion terminates a pregnancy. Giving birth also terminates a pregnancy. Nobody terminates a pregnancy (abortion) while they're terminating a pregnancy (giving birth) or after the pregnancy is already terminated (the baby is born).
So-called "late abortions", which occur after the fetus is viable but not during or after birth, are ONLY done if something has gone horribly wrong and an intervention is necessary to protect the mother's life. Even then, if the unborn can be safely incubated outside the womb (ie. if viable), the doctor will do that while still terminating the pregnancy. Yes, it's possible to have an abortion without "killing a baby."
These "late abortions" are what the maligned Virginia abortion law became controversial over and now they're a GOP talking point. Republicans are very good at running their mouths about things they don't understand, exploiting the public's natural inclination to believe what they're told from authority figures.
I’ve been trying to explain that here and there throughout the comments, but you do a much better job at it. Very succinctly put!
The question was disingenuous because the last time I checked the only reason women get pregnant is because of men.
If you were told you're stupid, try to become an US politician and you'll win.
When I went in to deliver my daughter who was 2 weeks early my labor stopped. They had to induce labor. This these days is called an abortion! If they had not induced labor my daughter would have died! This is crazy stuff! How did the law makers get a medical license?
It's NOT called an abortion if the induce labor, you insane person!
@@calinasagilitypartner4444 it seems to be so, for some members of Congress, according to the video. I believe Candy was trying to explain this so it made some kind of sense, not implying she thinks that's what it is.
So all these dudes are gonna get vasectomies right?
Start asking for proof of these scenarios which their using for examples.
