TREY GOWDY IS COMING UP NEXT.
TREY GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US.
I’M TREY GOWDY AND IT’S SUNDAY NIGHT IN AMERICA.
NIGHT IN AMERICA.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU USED
THE WORD CONUNDRUM.
IT’S DEFINED AS A SPATIAL OF
PARTIAL ILLUMINATION BETWEEN THE
PERFECT SHADOW ON ALL SIDES AND
THE FULL LIGHT.
THAT DOESN’T HELP MUCH EITHER.
SO WHY AM I BRINGING UP A WORD
WE DON’T HEAR OR USE?
THAT WORD IS AT THE CENTER OF
THE DEBATE ON MANY ISSUES IN OUR
COUNTRY INCLUDING THE UPCOMING
SUPREME COURT DECISION ON
ABORTION.
THEY DECIDED A CASE CALLED
GRISWOLD VERSUS CONNECTICUT.
CONNECTICUT THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE
OUTLOUD.
THE COURT FOUND THAT’S YOU HAVE
A RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THE
PENUMBRA OR THE SHADOW OF OTHER
RIGHTS.
THE CONSTITUTION DOESN’T MENTION
PRIVACY, MARRIAGE OR
CONTRACEPTION.
AND THUS BEGAN A DEBATE THAT HAS
RAGED FOR DECADES.
WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
WHOSE JOB IS IT TO HE TO HE LEWI
ELUCIDATE THOSE RATES.
THE TENTH AMENDMENT SAYS THE
POWERS NOT GIVE TO THE
GOVERNMENT I NURKSINURE TOTHE ST
DO YOU GET TO DO IT THROUGH
YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE
BALLOT BOX OR IN THE PUBLIC
SQUARE. OR DO FIVE JUSTICES LOOKING IN
OR DO FIVE JUSTICES LOOKING IN
THE PENUMBRA OR SHAH -- OR SHADO
OTHER RIGHTS GET TO MAKE THAT
DECISION.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THE ISSUE IS
NOT GOING AWAY.
IF ROE VERSUS WADE IS
OVERTURNED, SOME STATES WILL BAN
ALL ABORTIONS INCLUDING IN THE
CASE OF RAPE, INCEST AND WHEN
THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER IS IN
DANGER.
SOME WILL ALLOW IT UP TO THE
MOMENT OF BIRTH OR MAYBE BEYOND
IN THE CASE OF PARTIAL BIRTH
ABORTIONS.
EDUCATION, CRIME, OR THE
LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS, BUT WHEN
LIFE BEGINS IS NOT AN ISSUE
SUBJECT TO 50 DIFFERENT
OPINIONS.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE IS MENTIONED
IN THE CONSTITUTION.
NO PERSON SHALL BE DEPRIVED OF
LIFE.
IT’S ALSO MENTIONED ON OUR BIRTH
CERTIFICATE.
AND THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.
ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH
YOU BE ALIENABLE RIGHTS.
-- UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
DEMOCRACY IS HARD IT WAS
INTENDED TO BE HARD.
IT’S A PRIVILEGE EARNED WITH THE
LIVES AND LIMBS OF OTHERS.
IT’S EASY TO WAIT FOR FIVE
LAWYERS IN BLACK ROBES TO LOOK
IN THE SHADOWS OF A PENUMBRA AND
TELL US WHAT OUR RIGHTS ARE.
IT’S HARD TO GO INTO THE BALLOT
BOX OR THE FLOOR OF THE
LEGISLATURE AND DEBATE IT.
BUT THAT’S WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND
NOT WAIT FOR UNELECTED LAWYERS
