THE ZIKA VIRUS IS SPREADING QUICKER THAN RESEARCHERS
EXPECTED, AND MANY LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES ARE
ADVISING WOMEN NOT TO GET PREGNANT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
THAT IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN MANY LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES
ARE AGAINST ABORTION.
COUNTRIES LIKE BRAZIL ARE STARTING TO RETHINK THEIR
TACTICS.
"ONLY FIFTY-TWO PERCENT WOMEN IN THE REGION ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
1.5 MILLION ZIKA CASES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED, ONLY IF THE
MOTHER'S LIFE IS IN DANGER."
A JUDGE HAD RULED, THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE, AND THIS IS SO MUCH OF
AN EMERGENCY THAT IF THE WOMAN CAN PROVE THAT SHE HAS THE
VIRUS, AND SHE CAN PROVE THAT THE FETUS IS IMPACTED BY THAT
VIRUS, WE WILL LET HER HAVE THE ABORTION.
THEY ARE PETITIONING TO MAKE IT A FORMAL LAW IN BRAZIL.
I LIKE THAT THEY ARE RESPONDING TO THE VIRUS AND TAKING
PRECAUTIONS, I'M BOTHERED THAT IT TAKES A VIRUS LIKE THIS FOR
THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN THE CASE OF PROTECTING THE
HEALTH OF MOTHERS, AND PROTECTING THE CHOICE OF
MOTHERS.
THEY GET TO MAKE THE CHOICE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THAT IS OF
COURSE OUR IDEOLOGY.
THEY DON'T AGREE WITH IT ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FOR RELIGIOUS
PURPOSES, AND RELIGION IS NOT BASED ON REASON.
IT IS BASED ON ANCIENT TEXT.
IT IS SO NOT BASED ON REASON THAT THE ANCIENT TEXT
DOESN'T EVEN SAY THAT.
THE BIBLE IS ACTUALLY PRO-ABORTION.
IT ACTUALLY GIVES QUOTIENT TO A WOMAN IF IT THINKS THAT THE
HUSBAND IS CHEATING, AND IT FORCES AND ABORTION.
BUT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT AND IT HAS INFECTED PEOPLE
WITH THIS IDEOLOGY THAT HAS LED PEOPLE IN THE WRONG
DIRECTION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
AND ONLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE LIKE, THOSE BABIES, THAT WOULD BE
PROBLEMATIC IF THEY WERE BORN THAT WAY, BUT A BEGINNING
TO REACT.
BUT IN REALITY, IF YOU WERE TO DO YOUR PRINCIPLES OF
PRO-LIFE, YOU WOULD SAY THAT IS GOD'S CREATION.
IT IS A STILL LIFE, SEE YOU CAN'T ABORT IT.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT VIEWPOINT, BUT IF YOU ARE
GENUINE IN YOUR PRO-LIFE STANCE, THAT IS THE WAY YOU RULE IN
THAT CASE.
WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG ISSUE?
FETUSES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE ZIKA VIRUS HAVE A CONDITION THAT
LEADS TO THEIR HEADS AND THEIR
BRAINS BEING EXTREMELY SMALL.
THEY ARE BORN WITH THAT DEFORMITY AND THEY HAVE AN
EXTREMELY SHORT LIFESPAN.
THAT IS WHY AUTHORITIES ARE SAYING MAYBE IT IS NOT A GOOD
IDEA FOR YOU TO GET PREGNANT, AND IF YOU DO GET PREGNANT
NOW LAWMAKERS ARE STARTING TO RETHINK THEIR POLICY.
LET'S SAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ABORTION NOT RELATED TO THE
VIRUS, THERE ARE WOMEN IN LATIN AMERICA WHO ARE DESPERATE ENOUGH
TO GET ABORTIONS ILLEGALLY AND IN AN UNSAFE WAY.
THAT HAPPENED IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE ROE V WADE.
CURRENTLY, NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF ABORTIONS CARRIED OUT IN
THE REGION ARE ESTIMATED TO BE CARRIED OUT IN UNSAFE
CONDITIONS.
ROUND 760,000
LATIN AMERICANS AND UP IN THE HOSPITAL AS A RESULT OF THAT.
THAT IS A HORRIBLE NUMBER.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THAT HAS
BLATANTLY MISINTERPRETED THE BIBLE, SPREAD THIS MYTHOLOGY
AROUND AND AFFECTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN WITH THIS
NONSENSE, TO THEIR DETRIMENT, AND IN THIS CASE TO THE
DETRIMENT OF THEIR HEALTH AS WELL.
THE ZIKA VIRUS IS SUPER PROBLEMATIC, THIS IS A VERY
REAL PROBLEM.
NOW PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT TRAVELING TO LATIN AMERICA, AND
IF YOU LIVE IN LATIN AMERICA, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET
PREGNANT.
SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO STOP THE
SPREADING OF THIS VIRUS.
THEY ARE TRYING TO ERADICATE THE MOSQUITOES THAT CARRY THE VIRUS.
RESEARCHERS ALSO JUST CONFIRMED THAT THE VIRUS CAN BE
SPREAD THROUGH SEXUAL ACTIVITY, SO THAT IS ANOTHER THING TO
KEEP IN MIND.
IF YOU ARE A HEALTHY ADULTS THAT IS NOT PLANNING ON GETTING
PREGNANT, IT IS REALLY NOT GOING TO IMPACT YOU THAT MUCH.
IT COULD HAVE WORLDWIDE RAMIFICATIONS.
TO LIMIT PREGNANCIES OVER TWO YEARS AND THAT A LARGE PART
OF THE WORLD.
THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY.
MAYBE THIS IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, POPULATION CONTROL.
LET'S NOT GO THERE.
DON'T MAKE ALEX JONES TAKEOVER.
