Welcome to Truth Talk Live.
All right. Let's talk. A daily program powered by the Truth Network.
This is kind of a great thing and I'll tell you why. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host.
It is sort of a Truth Talk man on the street show. Today, like, just simple, simple. Did you vote?
Like, we would love to hear. Did you vote? 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884.
Simple, like, Truth man on the street. Did you vote? Who did you vote for? Why?
Why did you think that should be the person that you should vote for? And then also, we would love, you know, and it's really cool because we know this show reaches folks in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, and other places in the country. Obviously, South Carolina, down there in Greenville, and Florida, and I'll keep thinking, I'll think of more. But nonetheless, we would love to hear from you. What are you hearing? What are you hearing?
I can tell you, we would be very interested to know, right? Those of us who are in North Carolina would love to know what's going on. What are they saying in Virginia? What are they saying in Ohio?
What are they saying in South Carolina? 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884. Truly is your show.
This is a live call-in show and we need your help. You know, I can just tell you simply from my standpoint, I voted today. I like to wait until election day. It's just me. And I vote in a very small county in North Carolina.
This is Rockingham County. And there's never a line, so early voting has not got any real appeal. Because I've never waited, I mean, literally never one person ahead of me, okay? So it's sort of an opportunity. And when I got there, you know, a few pollsters out there, you know, give me their advice on what I should do and what I shouldn't do.
Very nice. They weren't attacking me in any way, shape, or form. And then I got in there and the gentleman said that they'd been, you know, pretty busy. And the thing that really I thought was exciting to hear, he said that the early voting had set all the records for Rockingham County.
He said there were over 10,000, which, you know, we're talking about a really small county. He said that they were just amazed at how many people had early voted. And that was pretty exciting. And when we came back out, we heard the same thing that they had never seen a crowd like this, you know, out there voting.
What are you hearing, you know? If you went and voted today, what was your experience? What was the ballot like? You know, I was shocked. I got to tell you that every year they change it up a little bit just to make it a little trickier or something. I don't know. I was challenged because usually, you know, it seemed like I could just vote Republican, which is what I might add that I did, you know, as much as I possibly could.
But this year you couldn't just do that. You had to individually like, okay, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one. That was kind of interesting. We need your calls and we need your experience.
866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. You know, it's interesting times, don't you think? Like, I never remember in, you know, I can never remember, obviously, none of us can, a time like what happened in 2020. And of course, you know, this on the other side of this, that is the next presidential election. And interestingly, you know, between similar parties' situations, like it was still, you know, it was Donald Trump, President Trump the first time, President Trump again the second time. And now we have Vice President Biden, excuse me, Vice President Kamala Harris, who was, you know, obviously with President Biden. And so you have a similar set of candidates. And yet we find that a lot of things have changed over the last four years. We've certainly seen things that some of us never thought we would see. But I would love to know your thoughts. So we have James, who's actually in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we would love your call. 866-348-7884. So James, what are you hearing out there in Charlotte?
Last week, it took me 15 minutes to do so. I'm unaffiliated, but I voted Republican. Donald Trump is strong on the borders, economy, international relations, and Ms. Harris is very weak on those three items.
And also she allowed illegal immigrants to take up American resources, and she's too liberal, and I'm a black male. Wow. Well, I appreciate that, James. And what are you hearing in Charlotte as far as, you know, the rumblings of, you know, do you think it's going to be a big turnout, a small turnout?
What are you feeling? Average turnout. Really?
Yes. An average turnout. Although we had many early voters, I haven't gone by the polls today, so I don't know what that looks like. But of course, you know, in North Carolina, we have more early voters than in the history of the state.
Yeah, and then interesting. And why do you think that is, James? Because of the publicity associated with early voting, and people recognize that if you get it done early, you don't have to stay in line.
Especially if you work and you get off at five, you could stay in lines until eight o'clock after the poll closes. There you go. And so just simply a matter of convenience, you feel like? Well said.
That was the word in my head. Well, good for you, James. Well, we appreciate you listening very, very much, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your call. And, you know, it's a really amazing thing, right, that all of our forefathers, we stand on their shoulders. They gave us this right to go do it, and then, you know, here we are in the day of days, as far as going to vote. And so, you know, we can only do what we can do with what we believe we've been led to believe.
Some activities for freedom. Yes, conquer wholeheartedly. Yes, yes, it is. It's our opportunity. Well, God bless you, James. Thank you so much for calling in today. I hope you have a great election evening and that things turn out like God wants them to.
I know they will eventually, but it may be a struggle along the way. Bless you. Enjoy the night. Thank you, sir. God bless. So that's a wonderful thing we heard from James, but we need to hear from you.
866-348-7884, sort of a truth talk man on the streets. Like, what are you hearing? What are you thinking?
What are you feeling? I'm really, really interested, and I know the rest of our audience is, especially Ohio, Richmond. Come on, Lynchburg, Virginia. You're out there. Give us a call.
866-348-7884. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live.
Today, sort of a Truth Talk Live man on the street. I just want to know, you know, did you vote? Who did you vote for? Why did you vote for them?
I couldn't be more sincere. We had Barbara calling in from North Carolina. She's with a Democrat. I would love to have you call back, by the way, Barbara. I don't know. We lost her during the break, so please, please.
I'd really, really love to know your insight. She was in North Carolina, but very exciting. We have Mike in Ohio, in Dayton, actually, I would bet.
So, Mike, what are you hearing up there in the North? Well, I'm in, you know, I'm in a, it looked like a Republican area, and there's a lot of Trump signs everywhere. And I mean, we were in line talking to people about who we're voting for, believe it or not. And me and my wife, we got up at six o'clock in the morning to try to beat the lines. And honestly, the lines wasn't as long, because when I get up there, everybody was early voting, like in Ohio, as well as I'm hearing everywhere.
So that's interesting. We tried to early vote early, but there was a long line for early voting. So that's why we voted this morning. So you're hearing the same thing, a lot of people showing up?
Yeah, a lot of people showing up. Good, good, good. Because, you know, at least, wouldn't it be nice to actually have an election where everybody voted? Like, we would get the president that we really wanted, based on everybody voted.
I mean, to me, that's a great thing. And so, just, you know, Mike, how did you vote? I voted Republican, pretty much up and down the board.
You know, it seems like there are more values towards God and more values towards the Bible. That's why I voted the way I did. My wife did the same.
She had her cheat sheet. She made sure that she was voting the right way. Was the ballot up there different or the same as you'd seen in past years?
It was a little bit more buttons this year. You had to verify, after you select your selection, you had to go back and verify everything again. And then once it was verified, then it was a printout. I guess the printout stayed in a box. And then you said, OK, print it. And then you let it print and you heard it print.
You know, it's kind of interesting how the hell the machine worked. Yeah, and in North Carolina, they were really, I've never seen them, like, they wanted to see my driver's license. They wanted me to call out my address. They wanted me to call out. And I mean, they were very, very, and then I had to sign a form where I was like, this is me under penalty of perjury. Like, if this isn't really me, you know, I could go to jail. Me too, that's what we had to do. And then I guess they had signature verification.
And the guy that looked at my signature, you know, it was on a, I didn't, I just scribbled my name very poorly. And he goes, can you do that again? And I'm like, oh, I didn't know this mattered. Oh, that's great. I like that. Yeah. So, yeah, I liked it too.
I mean, he says, oh, yeah, that's more like your signature. And I went, oh, thank you. I'm sorry. Well, thank you, Mike. As always, I'm so grateful for you, for your call and what's going on in Ohio. God bless you, my friend. Thank you. God bless you, sir. All right. Bye bye.
So excited. I got Barbara back. Barbara in North Carolina. So, Barbara, what say you? Did you get a chance to vote? I did. Can you hear me? I hear you great.
I hear you great. Oh, wonderful, wonderful. Yes, I did get a chance to vote, actually voted early. I actually voted the first day that early voting started, so I could make sure I could check that off my list. Oh, wonderful.
Yeah, a lot of people are like that. I was talking to my receptionist today, and she was telling me that this way I know that no matter what, I voted. That's right. So you got it done. And so who did you vote for? I voted pretty much a straight Democratic ticket. And that's how how did you arrive at that?
I'm just curious. When you think when you think about what it what it is we would like in place as a country as we move forward, you want someone that can stand solid to not only say what they are going to do, but sort of a proven record as to what they have done when they were in a position to do something. And I looked at the other side of the ticket and there were a lot of also a lot of things that were said that, you know, that was going to be accomplished, you know, that didn't. I think that just speaking directly about Kamala Harris for president, I feel that based on things that she proposed to Duke in her career, she had done those things as vice president. You're under a president and anybody knows vice presidents work under answer under the president. So but the opponent was actually a president and there were a lot of things promised. One was we don't build the wall.
Mexico's all pay for it. Boom. Nobody wants to talk about that and the fact that that did not happen.
I know there was a section of it was built and I think it was on our desk. But anyway, I want to be like specific about that. But I believe that's how that went down. And the other thing is when they when, when people in general want to talk about from a Christian, from a Christian standpoint and say, you know, they're, you know, she's too liberal.
She's too. But at the end of the day, people are going to make their own decisions, period. I don't care who is in office. There are certain things that people feel strong about that. But there's not a big decision. There are no laws in place about that. There can be no laws put in place about that with the exception of when it comes to like abortion and some of those things.
But that whole other list of how a person chooses to show up gender wise, that's not going to be able to be changed legally. So the other thing, though, that I think is a bigger focus is when you think about survival, when you think about God, when you think about what God means in his word, if he talks more about, it's more about love. If you love not, then you know, you're not one. That's interesting. When you don't love, you don't know what to love. Right.
I mean, how can you say you hate your brother and love a God who you haven't seen? Exactly. Right. I'm with you. Right. And so the other thing, how can we co-sign for someone that has only shown venom, I mean, just gaslighting and calling names, just it's just so it was to me, it was just almost childish to do that. And if a person shows you who they are, you've got to go ahead and believe that if they are, if they are put into office, if they are voted into office, can you just imagine what a person that's already doing that, already spewing like evil?
I have not seen any love at all drip from her opponent. I understand. And so just thinking about that, calling names, and then, you know, as a black female, it puts me in that category like, you know what, if we don't stand for right, we don't stand for ourselves, if we don't stand for someone, you know, who's going to represent. Barbara, I hate, we actually did run out of time, but I am so grateful for your call, so grateful for your view, because that's exactly what we're wanting to know from all sides, what people think, and we would love your calls out there, 866-348-7884.
We all want somebody in there that we can trust, right, Barbara? Thank you for your call. That's right. Thank you so much.
Sure. God bless. Bye-bye. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live.
Today, sort of a Truth Talk Live man on the streets. Like, did you vote? Who did you vote for?
Why did you vote for them? What are you hearing out there in your state? Are you in Ohio? Maybe you're in Virginia or South Carolina, or in this case, we've got Chip is in Georgia. Chip, you're on Truth Talk Live.
We're very interested. What's going on in Georgia? Hey, Robbie. You know who I vote for? I was hoping this was this Chip. It is Chip.
It is. And so I'm very, very, very, Chip, under your, under the circumstances, this is my friend from Sweetwater Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia. And so what are you hearing in Georgia? You know, there's been a lot of shenanigans in your state. Oh, yeah.
It's never over till it's over, and then it's not over. We're just kind of hoping that it's under control. We don't trust any of the, we don't trust our Secretary of State.
He's a finagler. Oh, no. So we just, as I think one guy said, if we just overwhelm with votes, maybe it'll be too big to cheat. I hope so. I hope nobody does. I hope it all goes. Did you guys get the third degree when you voted on, you know, showing your ID and your signature and all that stuff like we've been talking about?
Oh, yeah. We've always done. But this is, this was out here where Sweetwater is. It's not downtown Atlanta, where everything goes, the wild, wild west, where they bring in boxes of ballots that in the middle of the night to count like they did last time. So anyway, so are you hearing a lot of people are coming out, or what's the turnout in Georgia, do you think? It's been big. It's been big. Good, good. So we did early voting, but it was still pretty crowded, and we were excited about that.
All us old people get out there and struggle up there. But yeah, they're tight on the IDs and stuff, so. And so I know who you voted for, which was the Republican side of the ticket undoubtedly, but why? You know, what was behind that from your standpoint, Chip? Because I just don't know if we can put up with any more corruption.
I know that, you know, we put all of our faith in God, and in him we trust, and he's under control even if we lose. But still, it just kind of sickens you when you see the corruption that's going on. And I mean, they're a candidate who never told the truth.
Never. Right, and that's how you – it's interesting. I find it fascinating that Barbara a minute ago felt that same way about the other side. And you know, it's a shame, really, that – and actually the producer, Nick and I, were talking about it before the show, is it's just hard to believe anything almost coming out anymore.
It's a difficult thing. But I mean, if the person from the other side – Trump did cut taxes. I mean, he did what he said he was going to do. Now is he a perfect guy? Has he got a lot of issues?
Yeah, but not like the – I hate to say demon-possessed side, but that's pretty much the way I feel about it. All right. Well, I got a bunch of people that are waiting, Chip. I'm going to have to go, but man, I love you, and I hope you're feeling better. And you know, tell everybody up there at Sweetwater we love them, okay? All right, will do, my brother. Oh, thank you, my brother.
God bless. Bye-bye. All right, we got Donna is in North Carolina.
Donna, you're on Truth Talk Live. Good evening. Good evening. So tell me your thoughts. Who – or did you vote?
I guess that's the first question. Yes, I voted early. Wonderful. And who did you vote for? Well, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. Oh.
So I can vote for either one I want. There you go. Good for you. I've been listening to everything, and when they first done the debate, she said the comedy was working. It's not. And then she was on TV, and they asked her would she have changed anything in the last four years that Mr. Biles was in there.
And she said, no, there's nothing that she could think of. And I thought, what? The lower-class people are suffering.
Yeah. The people that's on Social Security is suffering. He paid people $600 a week to sit at home. Joe did. And now they don't want to work because they sit at home for long. They got used to staying at home.
And so I was thinking about all the stuff that happened in the past, and it didn't look all that good to me. And so I voted for Trump because he does do what he says and he does keep pushing it until he gets it done. I can't say that for Trump, but for the Democrats, they've really run this world this last four years that killed the people that's on Social Security.
That's close to 80 years old. I mean, they're suffering and they can't afford to buy groceries or buy their medicine. What can they do? They got to do without one or the other. You know, I couldn't agree with you more, Donna. I'm a pastor in Asheboro, and I remember back last winter, a lot of the elderly people in our church were sitting there. I don't know how I'm going to pay my power bill.
I don't know how I'm going to do it. And honestly, there's people on both sides of the aisle responsible for that. I just, whoever gets elected, I hope they pay attention to the fact that, man, there's a lot of people out there that can't deal with much more.
Inflation can't deal with much more what we're dealing with, right? When we talk about Democrats, the Democrats is the one that sent our jobs over to China and Mexico. And if we still had our grocery factories or meals, people could afford to do things.
But they sent them overseas, and there's nothing here but fast food restaurants, and they don't really pay that much money. Oh, no. And there's no jobs out there. Well, Donna, I'm so glad that you went and voted, and I'm so grateful for your call today. It's been very, very, like all of them, you know, just, you know, what are people thinking out there, and, you know, what are you hearing? I'm so grateful that you voted, so grateful you called in today, Donna. God bless you. Well, it's like I told the people, I don't care who gets in there, as long as they help the American people. There you go.
We need to pray a lot for whoever does win, that's for sure. They got their work cut out for them, don't they, Donna? Thank you. I love your thank you. Thank you for calling in.
God bless you. Bye-bye. Okay, we got Clarissa is in North Carolina. Clarissa, you're on Truth Talk Live.
What you got for us? Clarissa, are you still with us? We're going to put Clarissa back on hold, and maybe she'll come back in a second, and we're going to go with Jamal, is in Winston-Salem. Jamal, you're on Truth Talk Live, if I can get you on there, due to the fact that Nick is talking to, or trying to talk to the other one. There you go, Jamal. You with me? Hey, Brother Dilmore, how you doing, sir?
I am wonderful, I am wonderful. So did you vote? I sure did. I voted early, and I voted for Trump. Yes, guys, you're hearing a former Democrat, black male, voted for Donald Trump.
And why, Jamal? Well, one of the first reasons why I voted for Trump is, and also for the Republican platform, is because I am definitely pro-life. I do not believe in abortion, and this is, you know, trying to be sensitive to the people that do believe in abortion, who had abortions. However, Assange himself has determined that when the two building blocks from both parents come together and they fertilize, now you have a new life that's in the womb. And to terminate that life in any kind of way, any kind of manner, I'm not for that. So you have some Democrats that are for abortion on demand, early and late, and some people say, well, late-term abortion is fake news.
No, you can look it up. There's at least, from what I'm hearing, at least six or seven states that have it. We had Governor Northam, who was in, I believe, Virginia or West Virginia, but Governor Northam was one of the people that believed in late-term abortion. So that reason right there is one of the main reasons why I voted for a Republican and why I voted for Trump.
I have several others, and if you have time, I can get into a few others. Well, just on that one issue, you know, and this is just me speaking, and I'm just one opinion and one vote, but I've interviewed probably, you know, Jamal, I probably interviewed 150 to 200 post-abortive women or their husbands or their grandfathers, et cetera, and I've never, I mean, I've seen tears, I've seen broken hearts, I've seen a lot of stuff. I never saw a woman two years, three years, six years, a hundred years afterwards or whatever, like, I mean, they are still broken by what's happened.
So not only is there the loss of the life, but it's the loss of the life of the parents that were involved in the horror of what God said you weren't supposed to do. And so that's a big issue for me, Jamal. Well, we do have, thank you for your call, as always, buddy.
We really, really appreciate you. Clarissa coming up in the next segment, but we need you. 866-348-7884 is the number to call in. Who are you voting for? What are you hearing out there? 866-344-TRUTH?
You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today is sort of a Truth Talk Live man on the street, as we're kind of wondering, did you vote? Who did you vote for? Why did you vote for him?
We would love to hear you and your ideas. 866-348-7884. Back to North Carolina, we have Clarissa. Clarissa, you're on Truth Talk Live. So glad you hung on. Yes, I'm still here. Can you hear me this time? I hear you great.
I hear you great. Okay. So did you vote? Yes, I voted.
Good. I voted early. I voted early because I wanted my vote to count and my voice to count.
Good, good, good. And who did you vote for? I voted for Kamala Harris because I think when I looked at the two candidates, I thought about one, I said now, one that has been spewing garbage and just talking ugly. When we look at the Bible, and I listen to this station all the time, and I'm thinking if we're supposed to be following the word, we're not supposed to be nasty and ugly to people and do the things that the other candidate was always saying something negative. And I thought at some point, you just got to grow up. You know, I've watched him several years. I've watched him when he was on TV, and I'm thinking that apprentice thing, I'm thinking he's still acting. And personally, I was like, why could anybody follow him? He doesn't show any of the signs that the Bible tells us about Christian love and to even though you're in a business and he has to work. He doesn't have to treat people ugly, say ugly things and just be so negative.
I guess that's what turned me off about him. And I couldn't in good conscious and believing in Jesus. I could not vote for that. I said, and I don't want to go back to the way things were taking America back to what? I'm a black woman. If I if I listen to him to take the world back, then that means we're going back to slavery. Is that what he's saying?
Going back to having black people do whatever or brown people, anybody that's not like him. And I don't think that's right. I thought that was just ugly. And so I had to vote my conscious and I kept praying about it. And I said, there's no way anybody in their right mind could vote control. Sorry. No, don't be sorry. I, you know, number one, I am so grateful for your call. I really am. And I am grateful for your courage that, you know, here, here's what I did and here's what I believe.
And believe me, if you think for one minute I appreciate his attitude or or the way he treats people or there's a lot of things, a lot of things that man, I could not take issue with what you said. I unfortunately, I just for me personally, it's just the whole abortion thing. And I, I know all too well and all too personally, the people that have just been their lives literally ruined, not to mention the babies that never made it.
Their lives were ruined too. And I, and I just, I, you know, it's a difficult, it's a difficult thing. But I, you know, I do admire you Clarissa. And I'm so grateful for your call. And, and you keep the good work up. You keep spreading that love.
We can't go wrong with that, can we? Listen, wait, I don't believe in abortion either. I really don't. And I pray for those who made that choice to have one and for those who had no other choice but to have one. But just because of that, that would not make me vote for someone who is just so negative and acting ugly and represented to represent me. You know, I, I thank the Lord for how he's made me and, you know, the steps I've made in my life to move up and be, and to teach children, you know, to be respectful and kind. And so how could I vote for someone that's so negative and so awful, awful-izing everything?
If it's not my way, if I can't have my way, then I'm going to burn the world down. And, and the way he treated our country that he said he loved, and he allowed all that to happen on the 16th, he would, you know, I'm thinking those things you think don't, nobody remembers. But we remember. I remember. So thank you, and I appreciate you taking my call. Oh, of course. God bless you.
You have a great evening, okay? This is on God's hands now, right? Yeah, that's right.
We've done what we can do. Now it's up to you, Lord. That's right.
Alright, thank you. Thank you, Clarissa. God bless you. Bye-bye. Alright, we've got Catherine is in South Carolina. Catherine, you're on Truth Talk Live. Hi, this is Catherine. How are you? I am wonderful. I'm very interested.
How are things, what are you hearing in South Carolina? So, most likely, this will be a red state, but I am from Chicago, and I'm a physician. I am a cancer survivor and was a caretaker for my mother who died of cancer last year. And also was a feminist. She even had crosses burned in her yard in the 70s in the South because of her viewpoint that women deserve to have the right to vote and the right to own property.
And so I voted in honor of my mom to love her and be in remembrance of her, as well as my own faith and beliefs. So, as a physician, my really the reason that I made my decision today was based partially on the management of COVID as a pandemic. And what I felt like was a work against the actual medical science, which delayed physicians access to being able to provide vaccine and medical care and resulted, in my opinion, in a higher death toll than had to be the case. And that occurred when Donald Trump was president. So, my aunt who died of COVID, I feel there's a relationship to who was in charge at that time. Really?
I had not heard that viewpoint. So, I'm so glad you called in. So, you know, you were practicing in Chicago at the time? I've been practicing in Greenville, South Carolina. I'm originally from Chicago.
Oh, good, good. So, you're from there, but you were practicing... I was in South Carolina for 15 years. Right.
And so, you were practicing in Greenville. And so, you know, from your standpoint, which I've never heard that, what was being stopped that could have been done, do you think? So, I think from the medical community, we were very clearly seeing the cases and the death toll being extremely high and that we were dealing with, you know, a shortage of masks, a shortage of ventilators, things that somewhat were stocked by the federal government that can be released under a national emergency. But because the Trump approach was that there was a delay in acknowledging that this was in fact a pandemic, that it was in fact something that was in America and killing people, that there seemed to be a florid denial of the fact that we were undergoing a pandemic. And many of the people who died, and this is data that is findable and look-up-able, are physicians, nurses, et cetera. And it wasn't until the Biden administration came in and liberalized the scientists to be able to have the federal funding to be able to then develop the mRNA COVID vaccines.
Those, I think, would not have occurred without the change in administration from 2020 into 2021. So, for me personally, it's a matter of literally life and death. I've seen what happens when administration is listening to the medical community, when there is a true absolute emergency across the entire planet Earth. And if God is our divine physician and believes in the beauty that is how we are intricately and wonderfully made, he is there to protect us. He is there to provide physicians the tools. So if you have someone who will not allow you to have the tools to save people's lives, I don't trust your judgment.
So, I wonder, you quoted the 137th Psalm, which I love, I do. And so, how do you, you know, in a physician, obviously, you revere life, and it is a matter of life and death. How can you line up with people that clearly believe in that as a practice for abortion?
I believe. Oh, okay. So, I think there are a lot of scenarios where we kind of when we talk about pro-life, I think that we get into a space of the sanctity of life itself, which I can completely acknowledge and understand. As a physician, I have seen scenarios where abortion, or the end of the life, was literally the only way to save the mother's life.
An example I have is, we had someone I saw as a medical assistant. This is 20 years ago. And this person was, did not know that they were pregnant. They did not know. They were married, they already had children. They were started on a new medication for multiple sclerosis. They had very severe symptoms. And because she did not know she was pregnant, once she had her second ultrasound, there were already severe, severe birth defects that likely were not going to result in a living child. But because of the severity of her multiple sclerosis symptoms, she could not continue with the pregnancy either. So, the challenge then became with her neurologist making the decision, not a gynecologist. The neurologist was saying, I can't control your multiple sclerosis symptoms because we need this particular medicine, but this medicine causes birth defects.
It is going to damage and harm and you will not have a living child. So choosing to make that a choice that was done in a, prior to 12 weeks, I think she was at 10 weeks, to make that decision in a safe space instead of trying to force her. Because if we change the law, we force someone like that to have to carry that baby until... But let me ask you this, just from a practical standpoint, do you think that was a type of abortions that were the majority of the abortions that happened under the other law? In other words, the majority of the abortions that were happening, do you think they were because people's life was endangered or because people didn't want to have the baby? I don't know.
I don't really know. I know that here in South Carolina we have a Planned Parenthood and every day I see pro-life people there honking. It's a tough question, but I am glad you voted and I'm glad for your opinion. I learned some stuff today, Catherine. God bless you.
We're all going to find out tonight anyway. So we did what we could. You keep practicing good medicine. I love it. Thank you, Catherine. Have a great weekend.
