As Donald Trump is criticised from both Democrats and Republicans for saying that laws around abortion should be left to the individual states, what is the opposition to Federal decision making really about, and is in an increasingly polarised country is it possible that decentralising power could unite the Nation?

99%women who go get abortion is because they didn't want the baby. Pass a law Where the father can have the opportunity to have a say to keep his baby if the mother doesn't want her baby.👉save a life
As someone who had a late miscarriage at 13 1/2 weeks, and saw the baby I lost, I have a strong, negative reaction to people who say it’s a clump of cells. She looked like a tiny baby, not a clump of cells. It’s been 20 years and the “clump of cells” comment still hurts.
😪
Still not a baby until its born. Can't even breathe without assistance until its born
I'm so sorry for your loss. It is obviously a precious human life that was lost, but most miscarriage are for his reasons (bad genetics, etc). I hope you were able to get other kids.
All the best
@@catscan2022 you are wrong. Babies become viable and are able to live outside the womb at 24 weeks. So they can definitely breath without assistance. When they are born is just the most optimal time in most cases. If you are going to speak on abortion at least get your facts right and not spread misinformation.
@@katelady1370 so if they are viable at 24 weeks then how is it they are not born at that time? And regardless of whether they are viable or not I still think anti abortionists are more concerned with controlling women than the "sanctity of life"
RUclips thinks we are so helpless that we can’t even talk about abortion without a warning and an article defining it. Who is this helping???
I stopped watching mainstream media and I've never looked back. Thank you, Russell.
I did that 20 years ago. Trust me, you'll be much more informed.
Same!! 🎉
But he gets all his news from the mainstream media, like Fox News and Newsmax.

If people are arguing about abortion, they are not coming together against institutional corruption.
Same with race, gender, political views, etc... Keep us fighting each other, that's the whole idea.
People can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. And institutional corruption is something like weeds in a garden. You're always going to have them. Pluck them up and you'll have new ones before long.
why do you think they bring up this nonsence. if you keep people busy fighting each other they wont have enough time to see the brutal corruption same in all western countries completly ignore there people for the favors of the richest companies.
Or aliens being used to drive down wages
Institutionalized infanticide is kinda a big deal, guy.
When Bill Maher said: yes, it's murder, but I'm ok with it, the audience went oooooh, half because he said it's murder, the other half because he's ok with it.
They didn't like that he wouldn't hide behind euphemisms like "reproductive rights". He's willing to not be phony, to point out what abortion actually is and support it anyway. I give him points for honesty.
That’s the thing though.
A lot of people straight up believe it isn’t murder. So the ones who say they believe it is murder but are okay with it are so much worse than the ones who are just ignorant of their own position.
What a statement he made.
I think they went oooh because they realized he's right. You can't obfuscate the issue anymore.
Murder is illegal killing
Finally someone dispensing with the BS and just admitting that it is murder and they are ok with it.
Whether abortion is "murder" or not, is subjective.

Why, then don't you support decentralising abortion to the individual? Or maybe you do...
@@paulfenton7776 Legally per the Constitution, it is a STATE’S ISSUE ONLY, not assigned to the Federal Government. Most issues are actually STATE jurisdiction per the Constitution….The federal government was NEVER supposed to be this big & controlling.
@raevj my point is that you can't get any more decentralised than an individual's decision. Why does government at any level have to be involved beyond setting parameters for abortion to take place. The honest truth is that people just like telling other people what to do.
@@paulfenton7776 Well said. Small gov should play a small role in ensuring safety in medical procedures, but the issue should between the woman and her doctor.
I was always blown away by the hypocrisy on the left, including my own wife, who are defiantly pro-choice and also believe in mandating vaccines. It's my body, my choice when it's convenient or doesn't affect them negatively.
No, I'm pro choice and against vaccines - my body my choice 100% of the way. Quite frankly, my body my choice is part of our anti slavery amendment - the moment someone else has a say over your body you are in a slave position. I would extend that further into the medical profession that doesn't inform it's patients of their own diagnosis or the dangers of the drugs being given to them. Or the kickbacks being received for pimping pills.
Yep. That is strong hypocrisy. And just shows. You can't take their arguments in good faith all the time. We have to push them towards having good faith debates and force them to truly engage with THE REAL ARGUMENTS being made... As Bill said, this "right wingers are women haters and want to control women" argument is a farce and a willing rejection of pro lifer's real arguments.
As someone who was bullied by doctors for NOT getting the COVID vaccine, as well as REFUSING boosters for childhood vaccines I don’t even think I had because I am now officially old, I feel evermore pro-choice and strongly about bodily autonomy across-the-board. I will decide what to do with my own body, and I will not let any government tell me that I have to get a vaccine or I cannot get an abortion. I will choose my doctors wisely, do my own research, and government can $&@? 0ff. 💯

"They don't hate women. They just made that up. They think it's murder."
America will never come to a firm standing on abortion. It a divisive issue that is a powerful political tool that will continue to be utilized.
It could be improved if more information was presented to pro-life advocates. They are single issue voters which means qualifications are unimportant to them. Or criminals are unimportant because the guy says he’s pro-life.
Incendiary headlines list 9 month abortions like it’s done all the time. Most doctors wouldn’t do it.
@@Chris-Data_AnalystThere are clearly many pro-choice single issue voters as well. So what's your point?
@@bruv1039 My point is that prolife supporters who want to eliminate abortion for others are frequently unaware of reasons for late term abortions. It’s a big gap because it doesn’t fit their idea that every baby is worth saving. They seem to think a heartbeat indicates that person is alive but that’s not a good definition. Terri Shavo was brain dead for years, with a heartbeat she must be kept alive. Babies are not all born healthy and if there’s a deformity decisions can be made to let the baby die in comfort.
I used to visit state homes that housed people for decades. No family visits, but no communication was possible anyway in some cases.
Nobody else should be involved in these tough decisions. Many wanted to have the baby of they would not carry it around for 9 months.
It’s a dastardly procedure but many things in life are gross, including childbirth.
It's not political, it's medical. Governments don't own women, nor are they doctors. This goes against first and sixteenth amendment rights.
These issues COULD ALL IMPROVE if we could get away from msm and their talking points. If people today GOT TO SEE honest and good faith discussions and debates, and began to enjoy to enjoy that honesty and took part in it, that would be an improvement. People could actually begin to hear each other.
Bill Maher admitting he's a hypocrite by being non-hypocritical for once is insanely surreal

“If you reelect me you can axe your babies.” EESH.
Ghoulish!😢
If we define death as when the heart stops beating, why can't we define life as when the heart starts beating?
We certainly can.
We can. Take action now!
Heartbeat has nothing to do with consciousness or humanity. In laboratory, one can maintain a beating heart on its own for days. Also people can live on artificial pumps without beating hearts. What matters is brain. For example brain waves of brain function if you are trying to define what constitutes a conscious human.
Human consciousness has no indication on life, the current president has none and yet we think he is alive.
Honestly, it's refreshing that Mahar is flat out honest. I'm sick of the group, "appeasement," when it comes to issues. No matter how radical or shocking it might be, it is refreshing to just hear some brutal honesty.

It's a _fetus,_ and it doesn't care whether you "rip it to pieces" it or not.

abortion at 9 months is LITERALLY legal in some DEM states - Tim Pool was talking about this yesterday...
Utter bollocks! That's called murder.
If the voters in that state vote for it to be legal then it should be. We shouldnt force our ideals on communities we arent a part of because we dont like it when it it done to us.
@mcdirty764 So if people vote that child rapeimg is legal we should just mind our own business? I think when innocent lives are at stake, it is a different type of situation than, let's say, drugs or of age sexual activities.
Give one example of this happening at 9 months except for when the mother’s life is at risk …..as for after the birth an abortion is impossible, it’s called murder 🙄
@@1LTTrentDo you believe everything Trump says ?
He is right to leave it to the states! People are screaming that they want federal intervention in their lives! They are asking for a dictatorship from the government.
Funny too. Because they rail on about loving democracy!
He didn't do it, SCOTUS did when they declared it Unconstitutional. When an issue is not "specifically" mentioned in the Constitution, the ruling defaults to each State. That's what the Constitution directs. Trump is going along with SCOTUS Ruling. Smart.
The Constitution does say that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process in the 14th amendment. Sadly, the amendment then went on to distinguish between persons and citizens, leading the abortion lobby to claim that you have to be BORN to be entitled to due process. They're forgetting the rest. Born IN THE US makes you a citizen. So if they're going to glom onto "born," they need to include "in the United States" and concede that all immigrants, tourists, and other foreign nationals can be deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process.
you use the resources locally from the federal government every day i mean I assume you have mailed a letter in your life or gone to a local library that receives federal funding can you imagine if the mail was decentralized? or if we didn't have a national interconnected library system ? or FEDERAL standards for foods and drugs like I said you use the services of the federal government every day wake up and live in the real world instead of quasi-philosophical arguments on RUclips.....or don't whatever

I've been saying abortion should be state level for years now. Most people want to ban abortion for religious beliefs, but laws should not be based on religion so the federal government shouldn't make laws around it.
I agree. State level is the only sensible position FOR ANY LAW. Murder, rape, and theft ARE NOT FEDERAL LAWS. So why would abortion be?

But to have the debate, you can't assume you're position is so clear that anyone that rejects your argument is a fool. And you have to be honest about what the opposing argument is. They call it murder. So "clump of cells" ain't clear to them and a mere insult won't win or advance the discussion.
Again I'm pro choice, but I take the debate serious. But consider this argument. Coroner's determine when life ends using a heartbeat. So isn't it so clear that a heartbeat determines when life is occurring?

I strongly support the individual state solution. If 90% of a state thinks 1 way, they should be allowed to vote in their belief. If another state feels the opposite way just as strongly, they should also have that right. A top down nation legalize or ban, would piss off half the country regardless. We must compromise for now and attempt to convince the other side rather than impose our beliefs on others.
No state has the right to control someone else's life and body. This isn't a political issue, it's a medical one and strangers are not to dictate that. You named the #1 problem - it's a BELIEF. Our first amendment is the right to follow our own beliefs without fear of persecution which this is directly violating. You're trying to force other religions to follow christian belief systems.
Murder is not federally banned. The states decide. If one state thinks 0.08 is drunk driving and another thinks 1.2 is drunk driving, why should one state control the other, give them both the choice... If you disagree with this, and you think your position or your state should control the other, perhaps you should stop calling yourself a fan of democracy.

Its possible to be pro-life and pro-choice simultaneously. If you want an abortion for yourself, go get one. If you dont want one for yourself, then don't. Why force somone else to not have the ability to decide that for themselves?
Disagreeing with another person and prohibiting them from making their own choices is anti-freedom and anti-life. Do you like when others tell you what you can and can't do?
As a man, I don't have to deal with the moral dilemma of abortion for my own body. The decision to do so is between me and the pregnant mother. However, respecting the pregnant mother she has more of a say on the decision. I won't force the mother to make a decision she doesn't want. The decision to do so should be worked out between the two persons and not infringed upon by others who wouldn't have to deal with the outcomes.
The State benefits from the political division of this false dichotomy and ultimately has the power to enforce rules on its subjects. By framing a personal choice as a societal choice, we just argue with each other and let the state control us by making laws to punish us for making decisions for ourselves. All governments are neither pro-life nor pro-choice and does not and will not benefit its subjects.
When it comes to moral/spiritual dilimmas & the freedom of individuals, you make it federally legal & if the person doesn’t want one they don’t get one…that’s how you leave it to the people.
Not true. We are called the United STATES for a reason, like it or not, it's written in the name... Murder, rape, and theft are not federally banned. Surprised? They are all state issues... Why would abortion be the one and only thing to be federally ruled upon?

The founders of this country conceded power to the states. Why wouldn’t all parties want control and the ability to affect the policies that affect THEM with representatives that are physically closer to home and have to see their constituents??!
IT empowers YOU.
This is literally the exact position held by all pro-choicers. Their shock is purely performative.
Abortions shouldn't be used for birth-control.....or profit.
Make Peace and Prosperity Great Again.
If you buy abortion pills from Mexico for next to nothing, the profit part is minimized. I had surgery to remove a fibroid several years ago, and when I looked at the EOB from my insurance company, the total cost of the surgery and hospital stay with $60,000. Abortion is probably the least profitable, gynecology procedure, with C-sections, myomectomies, and hysterectomies being much more lucrative

It is unfortunate that people feel they can tell citizens how to handle their bodies.
@americanradshop4212/// it's unfortunate each State can't offer free "tubal ligation"
to women instead of countless abortions. A tubal ligation can be undone whenever a
woman is ready to have children. Societies with no common sense, no alternatives and
full of hate will remain divided. Sad state of affairs.
It isn’t their body that they are having destroyed.
It is unfortunate selfish and unempathetic citizens will not protect the innocent and defenseless human life simply because it has not been born yet.
So basically, authority should be divided exactly as our forefathers intended. Town, County, State, then Federal. Bottom up. The exact opposite of how it is divided and functioning currently.
Federal was never a thing until the Titanic sank. Feds were never a part of the plan. That's why we were the United States.
Our country was founded on the concept of “by the people for the people” we’ve gone so far from that, becoming exactly what our forefathers fought against
If a farmer plants a crop of corn seeds and someone comes along - 1 day later, 20 days later, 2months later, whenever time before harvest - and plows up that crop, did the farmer lose his corn, or not??
Bill at least admits what inherently is the pro abortion position, which is that you are ok with killing babies.
You do realize that part of life is death right? That everything you eat has a life , and you kill things EVERY DAY.
@@DavidRodriguez-gl5pndo you believe a dog has the same rights as a grown adult? Or a stalk of celery in the fields does that have the same rights as a human being?
@@DavidRodriguez-gl5pn Ah, yes, there is no philosophical difference between a tomato and a baby. What a valid point you make...
Death is not a "part" of life. Death is the absence of life.
@@MattSmith8591 A fetus isn't living. Nor is it a baby or even classified as human. It takes 9 months for a woman to construct a baby. She doesn't need to continue the construction process. What exactly do you think a miscarriage is? That's a part of life and the mother's body protecting herself. Abortion is about a woman's right to survive. Men who think a woman is no more than a container for a baby have 0 rights discussing this matter.
I appreciate you Russell. Thank you so much for what you do. You and your whole team.
It is a eugenicist's slippery water slide.
Russell I also have my views on abortion, I'm catholic so you know I believe in protecting human life, but this is something no one brings up, what if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy and the doctor has no choice but end the pregnancy by removing the fetus and fallopian tube plus the fetus, surely this is mercy, since the Mother and baby will die, so in mercy we should save the mothers life,
Ectopic pregnancy is not the same as abortion and those are treated differently. No state prohibitions this procedure in the USA.

The only way I will take an overpopulation argument serious is if it’s presented in a suicide note, after the author goes through with it, otherwise it’s empty and hollow, what are they saying? There’s too many of “us”, but they’re cool?
My answer to population control is always the same. "You first."
Sulclde isn't the only way to address overpopulation. Try coming up with a _real_ argument.
The world needs so many more people on this planet, not less. We haven't even approached it's limits to support us, nor have we ever tried to maximize its output. That would be a hell of a project, but we have project war with the Others. Priorities.

Wow Russell. Such clarity. Thank you! And God be praised!!!
I was a teenager when I had my daughter. It was difficult, but I couldn't have loved my daughter more than I did and still do. She is now a maths teacher at secondary school and married with 4 lovelychildrenof her own. My friends had abortions and they all suffered from emotional distress afterwards. They became depressed and struggled with the guilt at ending the life of their baby. There is no reason why a human being should kill an innocent child growing in the womb. That child is an innocent victim of the circumstances in which it finds itself. A women can be bullied, manipulated, by those around her to go through with an abortion. Similarly, women are not shown how well developed the baby is and this has been deliberately done by our controlled media. Most women would not choose abortion. If they knew everything about the issue and hadn't been indoctrinated by the state to buy into slogans likely "my body my choice." I'm a woman, but it wasn't my body so it wasn't my choice.
You are lucky a bunch of social workers didn't turn up with a plan to take her in hospital straight after you had her.
So… you made the choice. Good! The choice is up to the individual and the individual states.
@@oldtimeycabins As a man I have no right to choose to have sex, because sex is a woman's body so it is her choice. 'Sex is not sex, it is your privacy.'
That is a lot of power for a woman to have over a man.
The same principle extends to the unborn - abortion is not a woman's body, it is the child's body.
@@oldtimeycabins it's economic. She had enough money to not have some petty official from the state make her choices
You're a wonderful woman.
Science sucks when it comes to contraception.
Yes. ! you are so right. I'm with you 100%
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.
It is murder and we should extend human rights to the most innocent and weak among us..
how do you meditate together? isn't it inherently a personal journey?
Women's rights should not be de-centralised. If you don't want an abortion, don't be part of the cause of that situation, and don't get one.
I'm going to go for the low-hanging fruit here: Late abortions for fetal indications. Is this something the WOMEN want, or is is something the doctors push them into because it's a quick escape for the doctor from a painful situation the woman has to live with for the rest of her life? ruclips.net/video/H3O-izDRBzo/видео.html
What sold me against abortion was the for profit nature of selling baby parts and what that really means.
How silly
Oprah has a company that makes money making cosmetic products. From buying a specific baby body part.
Again, that's a belief system. I'd hate to think a woman with a medical condition was forced to have a baby she couldn't safely deliver and had to die because some jackass got to vote with her life based off his belief system of what happens to a fetus's parts afterward - instead of the woman having a say in her own life.
@@c-w-h What a load of crap
So right Russ’. DAMN
Life is a Blessing.
. Think 🤔 Your Here... was that a Mistake ??? 🤔
It is possible to be anti-abortion and pro-choice. I will never believe that I can or should make a decision for someone else, regardless of my own personal beliefs. While I would never consider an abortion for my own body, I have absolutely no right to impose my opinion on another.
Since the debate actually at hand is IS IT MURDER, you don't have to worry. However you got convinced this is a CHOICE issue, you got duped.
Abortion is, by definition, somebody making a decision and imposing it on somebody else's body. Why is that ever okay?
God gave us free will. We should not judge one another, but offer compassion, education, opportunity and resources for women so we can reduce the amount of abortions. Power>force.

@@stephc7211 I think that the best way to make abortion go away to the bare minimum would be to give the women the right to sue the abortion practitioner for the wrongful death of the baby unless he can prove in court with a preponderance of evidence that he gave her FULL informed consent, including risks to her, the development of the baby, how this particular method ends the baby's life, and the resources available to resolve her distress without causing the death of the baby. Goodbye, abortion. The only women signing up would be those who know it's a baby, have all the resources they need, and still want the baby dead. I just don't think that there are very many psychopathic women out there who would insist on a dead baby if they had other options that they knew about, and if they knew exactly what the abortion was going to do to the baby.
I would prefer there were no laws concerning abortion, especially not at the national level. As you were saying, these laws should be made locally which makes it more democratic for your community. Many people regret getting abortions, including men who have pressured women because they aren't committed to the female or just don't want children. I'm anti-abortion, but I can't make that decision for others because I don't know their situations. And they are the ones that have to live with their decisions.
Precisely. If your community agrees with you or you've persuaded them, then you get what you wanted.... The only argument for wanting control over communities you don't live in is TO BE AUTHORITARIAN.
Mr. Brand! You are brilliant
When I hear an acting leader say vote for me and ill restore a law, I also hear vote for me or ill ignore it.
Instead of leaving it up to individual states, how about leave it up to the individual?
History answers. It was founded and called the United STATES, not the United INDIVIDUALS.
That sounds like one thing theoretically but it's far from actual practice. I have an entire playlist about women being pushed into unwanted abortions: ruclips.net/p/PLJupLOmr97hrfPQ6FrXpXT6O1WePuRkgn
@@capoman1 The majority of Americans are pro-choice. How do you reconcile this?
Abortion is disgusting. The fact the we have this problem shows how lost we are as a civilization.
I agree, but suggesting it's a decision that should be left to the government is more disgusting.
Even the leftists know its wrong, that is why they use Orwellian euphemisms to describe it such as "Family planning" which should be "Family extermination" and "Pro choice" which should be "Pro death"
@@Borntu murder is illegal no? If Florida wanted to make murder legal, is that acceptable? What about slavery? Constitutionally, abortion is a states issue. Morally, it's an everyone issue.
@@yayayaokoksure the percentage of Americans who want it banned has never been above 25% nationally. If you're going to let everyone else decide then it would be an uphill battle, no?
@@Borntu ya thats my point. A true immoral act transcends democracy. Murder being the most obvious. At one point many states wanted slavery. This is why Bill admits hardliners are logically consistent. If you truly see abortion as murder, you will not defer to democracy. True anti abortionist want a national ban. Which is logically consistent with their premise: murder is immoral, abortion is murder. Therefore, abortion is immoral.
Great video. I agree with you. This is the only way there will be peace is for people to be represented in their communities.
Wow finally a good and reasonable point of view on this issue.
Wow. Well, at least he is honest. I am stunned. Lord have mercy.
How about it’s a personal choice and nothing to do with state or government
So is murder. You're oversimplifying the conversation.
The simplest definition of life is to grow and produce waste. That happens at the moment of conception!!!
I haven’t finished the video yet, but I seem to say this every time I watch a Russell Brand video, when the hell did he become the voice of reason? And I think he is. We can’t and won’t agree on all things, but the way he presents arguments and discourse is so refreshing. Thank you Russell Brand.
Human life is sacred and beautifully unique from conception until natural death.
Sure - why do we have wars ?
100% agree 😊
@@michaelashley2855 Wars are fought due to the hubris and greed of man.
Murder is already illegal.
Not impossible though
NOT FEDERALLY. I was surprised when Ron Paul taught me this. There is no federal ban on murder. The most extreme moral case is not federally banned.... So why would lesser moral cases get federal bans?
Theft is not federally banned either... You've been witnessing democracy, state choice, your entire life and probably never even knew it or thought about it.
Tell me. Does this surprise you? Did you assume murder and theft and rape were federally banned?
One of your best episodes
Russell thank you for all your information and content please keep up with the hard work 😁 . God bless you and your family and friends 😊.
War is murder.
If a life begins at conception, why isn’t the father paying child support from the time of conception?????
Because he has no legal rights to the unborn child. If the mother has 100% of the rights, she has 100% of the responsibility. Father has no rights therefore no responsibility. As soon as it became medically possible for women to opt out of parenthood by killing their babies, it became socially possible for men to opt out of parenthood by abandoning her.
Yes! Couldn’t agree more with you!
100% agree on as local power as possible vs. Fed power…except when it comes to inalienable rights.
Bill Maher is honestly a empty and shallow person and I feel sorry for him. At least he’s honest so that is appreciated and nausea inducing at the same time.
The flash of light at conception does NOT indicate that a "potential human life" is initiated. Rather, it evidences that a human life with potentials has commenced.
The heartbeat at 4 weeks does though.
Only a Sith thinks in terms of absolutism!
In a fictional world
Trump always said that. No change
It takes a man and a woman to make a baby and because of that fact every man should have say when it comes to their child.
I wonder if Piers would say 'Well Bil, if you are concerned about over population, give up your own place in the world for a child who has his or her whole life before him or her'
We live in 2024, there are so many ways to not get pregnant. But we live in a time people don't have to take responsibilty of their own lives and actions. Many unwanted pregnacies happen after a night of binge drinking and doing the dance without pants with someone they met that evening.
You know what, don't drink too much, so you know what you are doing and don't get needlessly pregnant. It is not that hard to use your brain.
If you are ill or raped is a different story, but 95% or more of abortions didn't need to happen, if they were just careful. If too many motor cyclists get hurt for wearing no helmet, what do we do? We demand they wear one. We can demand more from people, why do we have to pay for people who are selfish and careless and make laws so they can just go on, without consequences?
Curious what your thoughts would be on unwanted pregnancy after contraception failure?
As usual terrific video Russell Brand 🏁💪🏼
Arguing about what life is, is quite the metaphor for our time
Why stop at the state? Why not let the city, the county, the towns, hell kick I back to the individual? No bans, or bans on bans. If you think you need an abortion get one, if don't, then don't.
Why states.... Because it's called.... The United.... STATES.
Not the collection of cities or towns or individuals. It's the founding of the country like it or not. It's written in the name.
because it's evil
