My parents forced me into an abortion at 15. Was told I'd have to move away, change my name and never see my family. I almost died during the procedure, was put in a maternity ward full of breastfeeding mothers wondering why I was there.... So painful, needed a blood transfusion and iron shots after... then, a couple weeks later, I needed a second D & C as they didn't "get all of it". I never had children, ever. I'm 55. It haunted me forever. I finally went to confession several years ago and received forgiveness and mercy. The psychological and spiritual toll outweighs our fears of the future. God is good. God will provide for life, even life created in "evil". I will tell my story to whoever will listen. It's not worth the pain you will cause yourself. YOU WILL NOT FORGET.
The unborn son or daughter who died was not recognized as a son or daughter by the deliberate murderers/collaborators. The parent(s) and probably others of the child that died as a miscarriage was recognized.
@@MrCheesywaffles Does somebody wanting a child have to do with the intrinsic value and rights of the child? Why does society call killing a pregnancy woman a double homicide but allow abortion? Obviously, both are wrong
I would agree both are wrong homicide when done to a pregnant woman is most definitely considered a double homicide but if we keep going on this route it won’t be considered such because the way they are looking at it is if a baby is wanted it’s valuable and if it’s not it’s disposable. I sincerely dislike the fact that in this show they only had pro abortion debaters for the most part not even hearing out the pro-life side. trying to demonize people for protecting the most innocent the child in the womb you are not supposed to punish the child for the sins of the father so in the case of rape you are just trading off one active violence for another. and once again planned parenthood in many cases will let rapists go free and not reported as well as pimps. no punishment for the person actually committed the crime.This should prove that it’s all about the bottom line children are commodities to be done away with when they are inconvenient and plant parenthood makes a bunch of money
Because they understand, deep down, what it is. That’s why, when pressed on this, they jump through any hoop they can to appear consistent. You’ll hear things like, “because they still *wanted* a baby, but that doesn’t mean a miscarriage was one” and “even though a miscarriage isn’t the death of a person, it is still sad because it is scary for the woman.” No joke. I’ve debated this ad nauseam and I still get the same stock answers.
God bless his soul, may he rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon him. God bless and give you and your family comfort, solace and peace everlasting, Amen
No one will try to convince you of anything regarding any stillbirth. It’s just that someone else’s pregnancy is none of your business. It is especially none of the government’s business.
As someone who was brutally raped and got pregnant. I went through my pregnancy and loved my precious baby. I loved him so much I gave birth to him and placed him with the most loving family. I picked them out and at a distance I have been able to watch him grow up. He is in his 20's now. I have also have had the opportunity to have 3 more to raise.
Im so sorry that you have to go through that traumatic experience 😢. No one deserves to go through that. You are a strong person. But just because you love your fetus, now kid, doesn’t mean all raped women have no rights to have abortions ❤️
@@aries6554 yes it does. This lady understands what you cannot possibly fathom. She went through he'll and back to save a life. You wouldn't even get near the fire and have zero right to speaking to this lady because your vocabulary can't see past pleasure. No clue what responsibility, accountability, or conscious really exists for. "Fetus" as you guys like to use in an attempt to disassociate yourselves from child or baby is actually a more endearing term, Latin for "little one". Convicted rapists should be castrated just before being put to death in my opinion. How can you justify killing your little one who is completely innocent because of it though? Do you think that somehow psychologically you will be better off by that or by giving the little guy/girl a fighting chance at life?
You are a rare inspiration to everyone walking the planet, not just women. The fact that you gave the child a chance after such as horrible conception is beyond imagination but a role model for right decisions. God bless you
@@Mrs_Homemaker I think the nose ring feminist was indirectly pointing to the American Constitution which has been turned into a talking point by the socially left who uses rhetoric such as "this country was not built for non-whites, women and minorities."
That’s because she stays in her mind and these other people think through their emotions. When you allow yourself to get emotional you don’t think properly or clearly. That’s why all main news you come across is trying to flush you down into being angry or offended, etc.
I did have an abortion and paid for it during my lifetime. I eventually returned to the Catholic church, went to confession, was forgiven and welcomed back with open arms and more forgivness than I deserve. Don't wait as long as I did. Jesus wants you back.
Such a testimony Cheryl for many many. Praise The Lord. I am a miserable sinner I have no room to judge you and I would welcome you even over the internet - home. God bless
My son was diagnosed with a fatal condition at 20 weeks but I did not choose the date of his death. He lived for 42 weeks. I enjoyed every kick and heartbeat up until then and was able to hold him with love while he died naturally.
I have a friend that just went through this same situation. Same story! She found comfort in knowing that she was not the one to decide when her baby would dje. It was actually a beautiful journey for her family.
You guys remember Matt Walsh's viral interview on Dr. Phil (what is a woman)? This is like the female version of it. 1 person vs. the crowd. Kudos to the bravery of Lila!
My wife and I lost our baby at birth (she was 40weeks stillborn). And that was by far the worst time in our lives yet was when our marriage became stronger and was a catalyst in our reversion to the Catholic faith. That will be 2 years ago this coming Oct 28th. God has seen fit to bless us with another pregnancy (my wife is 8weeks) so I ask that if anyone reads this to keep us in your prayers please.
The ability to debate, stay calm, being able to think out your argument, while being insulted from a member of the audience. Lila is truly amazing. And there's Dr. Phil, just sitting there, while Lila was being berated.
@@iesusegoconfidoinvobis4309 I was also really impressed with her understanding of timing. She absolutely did not allow that last round of applause with the woman in the audience. She came out of the gate with a brilliant point in such an eloquent way that made everyone listen. She handled it so well on so many levels.
This is why no one likes her. Because she is speaking on this issue so well. She won’t give them a reason to dislike her other than she doesn’t agree with them doing harm to a human being.
My friend aborted at six months when told her child had no brain. She had no one telling her not to. She regretted it her whole life. It was a torturous procedure. Something never addressed. So much trauma. She later adopted foster children in addition to her own. The sorrow she still bears never ends.
That is so sad. I don’t know when this happened, but I know there are organizations now in perinatal hospice that helps women and families plan for a child that has a terminal prenatal diagnosis. It is something that is sorely needed.
It is honestly amazing to me how people in the medical field either don't know what is happening with the baby or are lying or are just flat out wrong. The brain develops three weeks after the baby is conceived you can look it up. In addition to that if you look at the stories of some people who were about to be aborted, you will often see the doctors advise against having the baby only for the kid to live and for things to turn out fine. It is scarily shocking how many doctors suggested abortion only for things to turn out fine. And in my opinion it's sort of explains why things like covid can happen.
I’ve seen snippets of this exchange on the Dr. Phil show and I gotta say, I’m extremely disappointed with Dr. Phil. I usually like him but he was downright rude to Lila. I cannot applaud her enough for her courage in doing this interview - she was totally alone and it looks like a very hostile environment to me but Lila handled it with poise and tact and class. Bravo Lila!! 👏🏻
I used to like Dr. Phil but several years ago, I noticed he promoted “solutions”’that involved his wife’s company and son’s publishing company. Not sure if he still does that.
@@EpoRose1 I do give Robyn props for taking a horrible situation and turning it into a solution, considering she could be doing something frivolous or nothing at all with the tons of $$ that Phil makes. But nepotism is rarely a good thing. Whatever money his show pays other companies for their solutions shouldn't be split with his wife's company. (he should always choose another company to send a person to for help, not Robyn's.)
I love Lila Rose. I will say publicly that I had an abortion at 18 years old. I was pressured into it by planned parenthood, scared to death, not counseled except to say that it would end my college career if i didn’t proceed and was drugged with Valium before undergoing a procedure without anesthetic. If it had been illegal my child would be here now. I later became Catholic and went to confession but even though I have been forgiven by God I struggle to forgive myself. Lila Rose is absolutely correct when she says that the trauma to the mother begins after the abortion. I can’t stand myself some days. It is hard. I look forward to one day meeting this child. I don’t feel worthy to even call him my child because I didn’t let God give him a chance. I controlled it all.
Lila is a true woman with feminine virtues. She’s strong, courageous, intelligent yet her demeanor is incredibly soft and feminine. Her opponents (both Dr Phil and the mad lady in the audience) couldn’t do anything but be aggressive and hostile towards her. She defended the innocents with such grace and strength amongst the evil. She’s heroic and an amazing example of womanhood.
@@flamesfan1417 Abortion is for people who feel that is their best option, there is no group telling people that abortion is their best option, it will depend entirely on circumstances that only the pregnant woman will fully know. Which amongst other reasons was something mentioned in Roe V Wade that the right to privacy prevents authority from deliberating over what her circumstances are.
I was told by doctors to abort my daughter because she wouldn’t live past birth. She’s turning 16 years old in October and is such a joy in our family. ❤ Sadly, I was made to feel guilty about her health complications after she was born and told I should not have more children. So when I became pregnant again, I had an abortion based on medical recommendation. I grieve and regret it every day. Abortion is not the answer for any reason. We need to fight back against this false ideology. God bless Lila Rose and other activists like her. 🙏❤️🤗
So you think is ok to knowingly bring children into this world knowing that they will suffer and not be ale to live complete lives just becasue they will be a joy in your life even if they live in misery and or pain? Seems beyond selfish...
@@r.walker7986 Unless your fine with killing anyone without their consent who is struggling or going through pain, i think your living with cognitive dissonance. No one has a right to decide whether someone else should live or not
@@llamahguy7229 Creating a child is deciding whether or not a person should live or die, as well as seeking medical intervention.. we do it every day...

You gave me a couple examples of creating life, which isnt a problem for me because i think life ia inherently valuble.

I’m going next weekend for an abortion healing prayer retreat with the Sisters of Life. It was undoubtedly the worst choice I’ve ever made. Pray for my soul!! I should have never have made that choice!!
She did a wonderful job of being patient in the face of obfuscation, misdirection, and outright lies. Just listening to people defend the murder of “inconvenient” children makes my blood boil. The only thing more disgusting is TH-cam’s decision to put a “context” box on your video advocating for infanticide. God bless her and God bless you Matt. May He sway the hearts and souls of the misguided supporters of this abominable evil, there and at TH-cam.
I saw that Context box in Trent Horn's videos too. Disgusting. It's so sad that in one of the most advanced countries in the technology and medical fields, the infant/baby death rate is also one of the highest, in the hands of the mothers and those 'medical experts'.
I'm not sure what context box you were shown, but I just saw the NHS page on abortion. I'm not sure what issue you would have with it? It doesn't say that anyone *should* have an abortion, it just gives information on how someone could do it and how it's done if they wanted to. I get that you don't want people to do that; in many (perhaps most?) cases I agree, but the information supplied is pretty much neutral, it isn't advocating anything.
@@IamGrimalkin The part that is so disgusting about it they, both NHS and the US info, calls abortion health care. It's not, it's the unnatural termination of a pregnancy, in most cases. Yes the term spontaneous abortion refers to a miscarriage, but it's not the same as a D&C or a D&E whose only purpose is to end the early stages of a child's life. The health of the child is never considered. A life ends during abortion which is, in general, not a goal of health care.
@@bulletanarchy6447 I have pondered this quite a bit. I have to ask myself, do two wrongs make a right? I suppose you can ask any person who is now an adult if they’re happy to be alive instead of being aborted because they are a result of rape. And really, shouldn’t we be more concerned about punishment of the rapist and how the rape occurred in the first place instead of seeing how we feel about aborting a child? It blows my mind that when a 13 year old girl is raped, the discussion goes to the right to abort the baby instead of how in the world was she raped in the first place. But I guess when we’re in the midst of making a point we gloss over the details.
It’s not about what a woman does with her own body. It’s about what she does with someone else’s body... For the record I became pro-life after being pro-choice. It wasn’t a debate though, it was my deepening relationship with God
Lila is aggressively honest but she is compassionate in her words, her tone, and her empathy. It takes a lot of courage to look at a woman defending her abortion (especially when it's connected to a sad story) and still say the truth to them.
@@savinggift158 aggressively honest* I think means not sugar coating or beating around the bush. Its true what you said though, she was not actually aggressive or angry
@@savinggift158 she doesn't back down from the truth, ever. She doesn't sugar coat. That's what I meant. She's kind but she doesn't change her message.
"(especially when it's connected to a sad story.)" Image describing the rape of a minor as a "sad story" 🤦🏽♀️ look up the laws, and medical requirements needed inorder to have an abortion. Before they past the new ban on abortions.
@@nadiacipher7018 as a rape victim and molestation survivor I'm allowed to use the words "sad story". Also, I wasn't only speaking about rape but also fetal anomalies, financial difficulties, relationship troubles, etc. Rape is 1% of abortions. Let's not use victims and their children as pawns in discussion. 👍 I believe abortion should be banned, period. So bring on the laws.
I hate how he dodged her questions and interrupted her, tbh. He controlled the situation, which made it unjust to invite her on in the first place. They didn’t even give the pro-life position a fair shot. Lila did the best she could with the trap they put her in.
I don't mind that he did that; he showed his cards for all to see. If this was scripted and staged, you couldn't cast a more likeable pro-lifer or more strikingly unlikable anti-lifers. The good vs evil, and love vs hate was apparent.
I felt God was really giving her strength. The opposition was a plant and note: the only protester. All the right things were said and, at least, now there is so much more support for pregnant woman.
Thanks God it wasn't you then. That has nothing to do with religion, but a reasonable and just law that either let someone be an owner of another human being even to the point of most cruel and hideous disposal or all lives have guaranteed to be equally protected.
An angel of mercy who forces an underdeveloped 10 year old to carry the fetus even though the child, not the fetus, can actually die. Yeah right, she’s definitely an angel 🙄 🤮 This just shows that pro lifers are just a bunch of hypocritical clowns 🤡
There is no ontological difference between a wanted and unwanted embryo. Imagine telling delighted parents that it's just a clump of cells not a baby. They'd know you were ridiculous and so would you. But if someone doesn't want it... well then.
@@pf4877 That's illogical statement too. You are using a very rare example to promote a great evil. Killing another human being because you were raped is inflicting similar damage done to you on another human being.
@@pf4877 Is it contemptable for me to tell a 14 year old girl that she's been raped and should attend counselling to help bear the emotional burden because I have no physical means of reversing time and taking those consequences off her shoulders? Because essentially all I'm saying is that a 14 year old rape victim will have to get support bearing an individual innocent child because I have no moral means of removing this consequence of a criminal act by another person. You admit no ontological difference, which means that an abortion would be as much a murder in this case as in a case where a baby is planned. So you believe context makes murder ok? Self-defence justifies it. How does the child's dad being a rapist justify killing anyone other than the dad?
@@pf4877 Well by that argument, the child must then pay for the crime done to the mother with the ultimate price: their life. Are you going to get the death penalty for a crime your father committed?
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 How often to you vote to support meaningful government programs to support impregnated rape victims? How often do you vote to make contraception readily accessible so that girls and women are less likely to become pregnant when they are raped?
Abortion is not healthcare, when I was in desperate need of a D&C for my miscarriage (that my body was not expelling naturally)a PPH affiliate facility that I was referred to asked if “ The baby was alive?” & I said not I’m having a miscarriage, they proceeded to tell me they could only help me if my child was alive… I carried my dead colds remains from 8weeks to 15 weeks, and the Dr that finally helped me stated that I had a significant about of tissue and was appalled that nobody helped me sooner! It’s anything but healthcare! DISGUSTING 🤢💔🙏🏼🕊 Thank you Lila Rose 🌹 🫶🏼
It always bugs me when I hear the pro-choice talking point that outlawing abortion clinics would make it more difficult for women to get other non-abortive procedures like ultrasounds or D&Cs. Thank you for your testimony.
That is indeed disgusting and even more so because it isn't surprising. Spiritual warfare is more real than this world and these people are agents of the enemy, willingly or unwillingly.
If Lila continues her life path and stays obedient to God, I can very well see her being a canonized saint in a few generations. I know we are not supposed to say stuff like that but the grace just radiates from this woman.
Are you aware that we are all saints and if you actually read the bible God does not want us to worship others such as saints you portray at your church? There is no difference between worshiping Saint Lila and a golden cow
Lila's voice is softer and high enough to sound less aggressive. This is a gift too, that she can use in her debates. She still sounds assertive and sounds gentle enough during discussions. This is a gift.
Some ppl have no idea that they do have a loving choice. Culture can set that up as failure, trapped choices instead of several LOVING alternative. What a loving advocate Lila is. God bless those who help in those situations.
WOW God bless that girl for agreeing to be on their show! Not many people would have been willing to stand in front of a metaphorical firing squad and take punches like that.
"Let me show you how I'm empathetic before I hit you with my logic bat." LOL! Great way to emphasize Lila's truly intelligent and compassionate approach vs. how it could have been and how we can all mistakenly come across. Love Lila!
As a rape survivor, and a very pro life woman, I just want to say, I have a level of deep understanding for the woman who feels like she cannot carry a rapists child. I would NEVER suggest that as a way to handle the situation, and I think it is wrong, but I want to say, I have a deep understanding.
@@elizabethmurphy3931 Many prolife folks understand how a woman or young woman may be very ambivalent about carrying such a pregnancy to term. I can only imagine what a woman goes through and I'm grateful I don't. My heart goes out to these women.
Thank God we can still discuss this horrific practice of killing humans beings on prime time television. And thank you Lila for being a perfect representative for this cause for Life ❤️
She is extraordinarily articulate. Her points were so well presented. I would like to see debates like these where people, such as the woman in the audience, were able to argue their points without yelling over, interrupting, and speaking with such an emotional charge.
To be frank, it's between Lila Rose and Abbie Johnson that I changed my mind on abortion. Their passion, dignity, and humanity on this issue breaks through the euphemism-driven rhetoric which frankly I'm now ashamed to admit I ever fell for. As a man, my role in this world is to use my strength to protect the weak. The first time I heard Lila say the line about how the unborn are the weakest members of society, I felt tremendous shame over my own silence.
If abortions came with a free hysterectomy then these women would sing a different song. A baby is not an organ, so is not "her body" -- but the womb is; so why not remove that uterus instead?
I’ve watched this whole interview and I’ll be honest… it gets a little hard to watch later. Both Phil and Lila get heated and angry with each other because Lila tries to claim that human life beginning at fertilization is a scientific fact and Phil argues that there is no consensus in the scientific community about when human life begins. Lila then responds by pointing out that multiple medical doctors support her position and then Phil does the most irrational thing I’ve ever seen him do by essentially just calling her a liar. At that point, the debate essentially just devolves into a circular argument with Phil yelling and Lila getting flustered while trying her hardest not to yell. I’ve never seen Dr. Phil like that before and it was kind of scary. Not because I thought he would physically attack her or anything but just because it helped me realize just how deep of an affection many people in the world have for something as needlessly violent as abortion. I’ve always thought of Dr. Phil as a fairly calm and empathetic person but when it comes to abortion, he has a serious emotional hang up about it and will do or say anything to defend it.
Sorry to hear this :/. Worth noting that Lila did later send out a video addressing this part of the debate, where it essentially just devolved. Just in case you haven't seen it but are interested :)
Just shows how truly evil Dr.Phil really is. He looks like a fake, manufactured human. He’s had obvious plastic surgery. He’s worked for Hollywood for decades. That tells you all you need need to know.
Lila is very sincere,you can see it in her face,she is intelligent,articulate and speaks the truth..God bless her and all our pro life friends all over the world.
It's crazy how the pro abborts were accusing Lila of lack of empathy when she was showing nothing but empathy throughout that whole discussion. She really handled that discussion well, with peace and clarity, unlike her opposition.
I didn’t know forcing a 10 year old who was raped to carry the pregnancy even though her body is underdeveloped is called “empathy” by the pro-lifers. If pro life is about saving humans, then why are they ignoring the risk of death of an actual human being, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF THE FETUS???
@@aries6554 Hey that's a fair point to make, that is a severe tragedy and no little girl should ever have to go through that. But we live in a broken world with broken people. You should look up Kathy Barnette, she's a wonderful woman who's mother was 11 when she became pregnant via rape. She is living proof that God can make good from awful tragedies. I'm no medical expert but I thought in those scenarios abortion usually isn't the best route but pre-mature birth. At least in that way they tried to save both loves, even when it is unsuccessful sometimes. I hope you that you come to understand that prolifers care about both lives, in an ideal world the scenario you mentioned wouldn't happen but it truly is a messed up world we live in sometimes. But never doubt that our Lord can use those heavy crosses to bring a greater good. I'll be praying for you Aries 😊
Thank you for what you said about having an abortion. I did, and the minute I did I regretted it and I knew I had ended a life.😢. Jesus has helped me come to terms with it. I just hope anyone who ever thinks about it doesn’t do it. I should have had my little person.
What it comes down to is it isn't hard to defend the right to life, which begins at conception. Lila is calm because she speaks the truth and in love. The woman in the audience was clearly hurting and most likely had an abortion herself. Anger comes from pain. I pray Lila planted seeds in a lot of the viewers hearts. That is ultimately what's going to end the atrocity of abortion, changing hearts AND minds.
There is a video on TH-cam of a former abortion doctor who finally retired after performing thousands of abortions because he could no longer stomach it. The process he described is absolutely disgusting and heartless.
Lila Rose … thank you on behalf of many people for going into a situation where you fully knew everyone would be against you, yet you gracefully stood for Truth, even though it meant NOT ONE person standing with you. I can’t thank you enough … God bless you beyond measure 🤍
Gotta love the “context” added under the video giving a very generous abortion definition… thanks TH-cam.. but if you’re looking for hope in humanity check out the comments under the same clip on the dr phil channel. Even they saw how wonderful Lila was amidst a pro abortion leanin host and audience.
if you make a woman abort due to rape, she will have to live the rest of her life with the consequences of being raped and also killing her baby, abortion doesn't delete nor make the rape disappear
Ty for covering this. Lila is a brave soul and a perspicacious voice for the voiceless. I think so many people don't understand the physical and especially the psychological aftermath of abortion. And Planned Parenthood has historically been complicit in that as well as in dehumanizing the fetus and normalizing the procedure.
Thank u for this video.. a couple of years, I was neutral to abortion, today I am pro life... there are many like me who are neutral.. there is a need to have many neutral people, understand the facts..
Having a real problem understanding her accuser calling she has no empathy while the accuser is arguing to kill an innocent. No one is there - yes, someONE is there until you commit murder!
God bless Lila. I pray for those parents who are contemplating abortion, may their eyes be opened to the Truth and ugliness of abortion and for those who have aborted their babies, it’s not too late to run to God. For His mercy is an ocean.
In the UK this video has a caption underneath, Context "An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medicines or having a surgical procedure. Abortions can only be carried out under the care of an NHS hospital or a licensed clinic." big brother is watching you.
Wow, Lila has my respect. She made her points, with calm and precision, without showing the least bit of retaliation, even in the face of such clear antagonism from all sides, including the 'host'. Lila was clearly set up, up by a leftish woke agenda, that had no intentions of listening respectfully to her views and invited an aggressively pro-choice audience, to make the 'debate' as hard as possible for her.
Lila, simply cooly, calmly, and lovingly... nails it with quite simple facts... God bless her. A beautiful woman, and a beautiful soul... It is an absolute blessing to have her fighting our corner ....
When my mom was in her second trimester of pregnancy 🤰🏻 (6 months pregnant 🤰🏻 with me), a pro-abortion 🕉️ Hindu nut job suggested that my parents abort me because he thought I had Down Syndrome (I have autism level 1 - ADHD combined type)! My parents chose to keep me! I’m now 17!
Thank God for women like Leila! How true the statement of a friend when he said that "If you don't live according to your belief, then you'll simply end up changing your belief according to the way you live.
“The child isn’t born yet, it’s not there.” Would she have said that to that woman whose child had a fatal illness and aborted it? Nope because she would’ve said that was lack of empathy.
Matt- I honestly love your shows, how honest and real you are, how much you are for healing and the wonderful speakers you have on your shows. In short I am a big fan. I am prolife and I am a counselor who works with Rachel's Vineyard to led women back to the Church who have been through the grief of abortion. So clearly, you and I think very similarly about fighting for Life. However, I wanted to say that while I agreed with and was touched by how Lilla Rose addressed the folks on the show, I was frustrated that you were not more compassionate in your responses to those you did not agree with on the Dr, Phil show. Just as Lila Rose showed, compassion is what will change hearts. Intelligent arguments may make people think, but compassion makes them remember you. So please focus on compassion more and good arguments less. ( you did so in you comments about Lila Rose's responses--thank you!)This is just a gentle ask that all of us respond to the pain that drives people to feel desperate enough to have an abortion more and not as much on who won a point for our side. Peace and much love and respect.
But also remember, Jesus spoke very harshly to the Pharisees & money changers. I agree that compassion should be the main focus, but sometimes, some people need to have a reality check.
@@apubakeralpuffdaddy392 This is true, I just think that we focus so much on who is right and who is wrong that we often "Throw the first stone" at people we disagree with, without seeking to look more deeply at why they are acting out of hurt in the first place.
@@robynmosley148 Agreed. Women who've had abortion should be met with love, forgiveness, & patience. However, the advocates of abortion, especially if they're 'Catholic' need a spiritual drenching in cold holy water so they can wake up! These people have earned the scorn they receive. God's justice.
Is this the modern day lion's den? Did Lila seriously just walk into this situation completely surrounded by pro-choicers (tv screens, host, other guests, entire crowd...) and comes out unscathed from the lions? Wow
She is a truly great warrior st Michael protect her. I need to do so much more. Lila is an Angel PS it is infuriating that TH-cam puts caution label here but you know there would never be a warning on any of their actual propaganda
Good video! Matt I think it’s great that you admire Lila’s calm style of debating; I do too. but I’d disagree that we all necessarily need to strive to be like that, providing that we aren’t already. I think all styles of fighting for the truth have there place at some point with certain people. Sometimes I like watching aggressive/rough and tumble debaters because they help me build passion for what they are defending.
Lila, you are the 'voice for the unborn' today and your courage is breath-taking. In the end, the Pro-Choice position is and always has been, a desperate argument based on 'how best to cover up (end) a pregnancy without the shame of it being seen as murder of the innocent. They in turn can justify their shame by following the government's stance of naming this slaughter, healthcare, see the 'baby' as not yet human, push the my body, my choice charade but in the end, they all know deep, deep down, it is an overwhelming act of selfishness and it's tormenting them. Sin is the gateway to death...having 'empathy' and owning their responsibility can only bring peace.
God bless Lila Rose! You're so right Matt we do need to show more empathy but Lila does a good job of sticking to the truth. Any woman who has had an abortion can be forgived God has mercy He loves you and so do I.
That word empathy is used in such funny ways these days. It used to be a strictly clinical word used by psychologists to explain why serial killers have no remorse for their victims. They have no empathy! So if you have empathy, congratulations! You're not a serial killer. But it doesn't mean you're a good person.
The rape argument is just an appeal to emotion. If you ask 100 pro abortion folks would you be okay with outlawing abortion except in the case of rape or incest, 100 would respond with no. Furthermore, it's like 1/10 of 1% of cases of abortion - the last time I looked up those statistics. Admittedly, a fews ago, but the numbers wouldn't change that much, if they did.
When someone says "women have a right to choose", ask them if they think women have the right to choose AFTER birth. Or ask them if a man had a right to choose before or after birth.
No because by definition women having a right to choose means it is her decision. If a man had a right to choose it would be his decision as the two things are mutually exclusive. And No because by definition an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, an abortion after birth is an oxymoron, a contradiction of terms in anything but figuratively.
My parents forced me into an abortion at 15. Was told I'd have to move away, change my name and never see my family. I almost died during the procedure, was put in a maternity ward full of breastfeeding mothers wondering why I was there.... So painful, needed a blood transfusion and iron shots after... then, a couple weeks later, I needed a second D & C as they didn't "get all of it". I never had children, ever. I'm 55. It haunted me forever. I finally went to confession several years ago and received forgiveness and mercy. The psychological and spiritual toll outweighs our fears of the future. God is good. God will provide for life, even life created in "evil". I will tell my story to whoever will listen. It's not worth the pain you will cause yourself. YOU WILL NOT FORGET.
I keep you in prayer. 🙏
I am so sorry this happened to you. There is mercy and grace. I am 55 as well…you are in my prayers.
Prayers for you, dear one. I’m so sorry for all you have been through.
How did your parents react /treat you after this horrifyingly tragic experience
I am sorry 😢 that happened to you, going to confession heals our souls ❤
I also love her point regarding her miscarriage... Why does society grieve over losing a baby from a miscarriage, but not from abortion?
Simple: arbitrary rules based on what an individual wants.
it's very selfish
The unborn son or daughter who died was not recognized as a son or daughter by the deliberate murderers/collaborators. The parent(s) and probably others of the child that died as a miscarriage was recognized.
@@MrCheesywaffles Does somebody wanting a child have to do with the intrinsic value and rights of the child? Why does society call killing a pregnancy woman a double homicide but allow abortion? Obviously, both are wrong
I would agree both are wrong homicide when done to a pregnant woman is most definitely considered a double homicide but if we keep going on this route it won’t be considered such because the way they are looking at it is if a baby is wanted it’s valuable and if it’s not it’s disposable. I sincerely dislike the fact that in this show they only had pro abortion debaters for the most part not even hearing out the pro-life side. trying to demonize people for protecting the most innocent the child in the womb you are not supposed to punish the child for the sins of the father so in the case of rape you are just trading off one active violence for another. and once again planned parenthood in many cases will let rapists go free and not reported as well as pimps. no punishment for the person actually committed the crime.This should prove that it’s all about the bottom line children are commodities to be done away with when they are inconvenient and plant parenthood makes a bunch of money
Because they understand, deep down, what it is. That’s why, when pressed on this, they jump through any hoop they can to appear consistent. You’ll hear things like, “because they still *wanted* a baby, but that doesn’t mean a miscarriage was one” and “even though a miscarriage isn’t the death of a person, it is still sad because it is scary for the woman.” No joke. I’ve debated this ad nauseam and I still get the same stock answers.
My baby brother died in the womb. No one will ever convince me that that loss was just a ”clump of cells”. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
God bless his soul, may he rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon him. God bless and give you and your family comfort, solace and peace everlasting, Amen
I’m sorry for your loss😭. Anyone who says “it’s just a clump of cells” has no fucking clue what they are talking about and how horrible abortion is!
I think I can wait
My Mom carried my brother to term but he was stillborn. I was 9, it was brutal but I know I’ll see him in heaven.
No one will try to convince you of anything regarding any stillbirth. It’s just that someone else’s pregnancy is none of your business. It is especially none of the government’s business.
As someone who was brutally raped and got pregnant. I went through my pregnancy and loved my precious baby. I loved him so much I gave birth to him and placed him with the most loving family. I picked them out and at a distance I have been able to watch him grow up. He is in his 20's now. I have also have had the opportunity to have 3 more to raise.
Im so sorry that you have to go through that traumatic experience 😢. No one deserves to go through that. You are a strong person. But just because you love your fetus, now kid, doesn’t mean all raped women have no rights to have abortions ❤️
@Aries what would you think about death sentences for rapists instead of babies?
Bless you ma’am! A strong woman you are
@@aries6554 yes it does. This lady understands what you cannot possibly fathom. She went through he'll and back to save a life. You wouldn't even get near the fire and have zero right to speaking to this lady because your vocabulary can't see past pleasure. No clue what responsibility, accountability, or conscious really exists for. "Fetus" as you guys like to use in an attempt to disassociate yourselves from child or baby is actually a more endearing term, Latin for "little one". Convicted rapists should be castrated just before being put to death in my opinion. How can you justify killing your little one who is completely innocent because of it though? Do you think that somehow psychologically you will be better off by that or by giving the little guy/girl a fighting chance at life?
You are a rare inspiration to everyone walking the planet, not just women. The fact that you gave the child a chance after such as horrible conception is beyond imagination but a role model for right decisions. God bless you
How does someone get "no empathy" from "I don't want innocent babies to die."
She’s deceived by the devil.
And what on earth was even meant by "the country was founded on a lack of empathy". A country isn't capable of empathy. Empathy is a human emotion.
@@Mrs_Homemaker I think the nose ring feminist was indirectly pointing to the American Constitution which has been turned into a talking point by the socially left who uses rhetoric such as "this country was not built for non-whites, women and minorities."
Because emotional thinkers don't use logic. It's all about how they're interpreting things at that moment.
@@Mrs_Homemaker these are the same people that want to take away the death sentence in the name of empathy.
She’s a lady. She doesn’t get angry or snarky. She remains calm and gracious. I wish I had her composure.
so true
That’s because she stays in her mind and these other people think through their emotions. When you allow yourself to get emotional you don’t think properly or clearly. That’s why all main news you come across is trying to flush you down into being angry or offended, etc.
She is calm like a flatline brain wave
Same
not many ladies out their then huh ha ha.
I did have an abortion and paid for it during my lifetime. I eventually returned to the Catholic church, went to confession, was forgiven and welcomed back with open arms and more forgivness than I deserve. Don't wait as long as I did. Jesus wants you back.
Awww glad you came back. You’re loved and welcomed by Jesus no matter your past ❤️
Welcome back
I’m sorry that happened to you and glad you found healing.
You make my heart happy!! God bless you on you human journey towards God!!
Much love from a fellow sinner striving to do Gods will more perfectly.
Such a testimony Cheryl for many many. Praise The Lord. I am a miserable sinner I have no room to judge you and I would welcome you even over the internet - home. God bless
My son was diagnosed with a fatal condition at 20 weeks but I did not choose the date of his death. He lived for 42 weeks. I enjoyed every kick and heartbeat up until then and was able to hold him with love while he died naturally.
I have a friend that just went through this same situation. Same story! She found comfort in knowing that she was not the one to decide when her baby would dje. It was actually a beautiful journey for her family.
This is a beautiful testimony. I am sorry for your loss. God bless you.
❤
😢 I’m sorry about your baby. You made the right choice in letting him live. No matter how short it was. God bless
He is in heaven as we speak.
You guys remember Matt Walsh's viral interview on Dr. Phil (what is a woman)? This is like the female version of it. 1 person vs. the crowd. Kudos to the bravery of Lila!
My wife and I lost our baby at birth (she was 40weeks stillborn). And that was by far the worst time in our lives yet was when our marriage became stronger and was a catalyst in our reversion to the Catholic faith. That will be 2 years ago this coming Oct 28th. God has seen fit to bless us with another pregnancy (my wife is 8weeks) so I ask that if anyone reads this to keep us in your prayers please.
Prayers 🙏 Blessings to your family
🙏 Pray for St. Gianna Beretta Molla’s intercession
🙏❤️
🙏🙏🙏God bless you all
You are in my prayers. May God calm your hearts and give you the peace to enjoy this pregnancy. God bless you.
I love Lila's humility, courage, and compassion in such a hostile environment.
She is amazing! I wish to be more like her.
The ability to debate, stay calm, being able to think out your argument, while being insulted from a member of the audience. Lila is truly amazing. And there's Dr. Phil, just sitting there, while Lila was being berated.
@@izabeera166 me too!
@@iesusegoconfidoinvobis4309 I was also really impressed with her understanding of timing. She absolutely did not allow that last round of applause with the woman in the audience. She came out of the gate with a brilliant point in such an eloquent way that made everyone listen. She handled it so well on so many levels.
The woman is AMAZING! What a warrior. 💖
Lila Rose I find is the most peaceful pro life advocate I've ever seen. She always speaks with such grace.
The lights are on but no one is home
This is why no one likes her. Because she is speaking on this issue so well. She won’t give them a reason to dislike her other than she doesn’t agree with them doing harm to a human being.
@@bulletanarchy6447 what?
My friend aborted at six months when told her child had no brain. She had no one telling her not to. She regretted it her whole life. It was a torturous procedure. Something never addressed. So much trauma. She later adopted foster children in addition to her own. The sorrow she still bears never ends.
That is so sad. I don’t know when this happened, but I know there are organizations now in perinatal hospice that helps women and families plan for a child that has a terminal prenatal diagnosis. It is something that is sorely needed.
It is honestly amazing to me how people in the medical field either don't know what is happening with the baby or are lying or are just flat out wrong.
The brain develops three weeks after the baby is conceived you can look it up. In addition to that if you look at the stories of some people who were about to be aborted, you will often see the doctors advise against having the baby only for the kid to live and for things to turn out fine. It is scarily shocking how many doctors suggested abortion only for things to turn out fine.
And in my opinion it's sort of explains why things like covid can happen.
So so much sorrow. God Bless Her and her family Rest In Peace Beloved Child of God
Thanks all. We are a world traumatized from these “Decisions”. Mother Mary, heal us.
Please have your friend contact Rachel's Vineyard Retreats & Silent No More Awareness. They will help your friend get healing.
I’ve seen snippets of this exchange on the Dr. Phil show and I gotta say, I’m extremely disappointed with Dr. Phil. I usually like him but he was downright rude to Lila. I cannot applaud her enough for her courage in doing this interview - she was totally alone and it looks like a very hostile environment to me but Lila handled it with poise and tact and class. Bravo Lila!! 👏🏻
I used to like Dr. Phil but several years ago, I noticed he promoted “solutions”’that involved his wife’s company and son’s publishing company. Not sure if he still does that.
@@EpoRose1 I do give Robyn props for taking a horrible situation and turning it into a solution, considering she could be doing something frivolous or nothing at all with the tons of $$ that Phil makes. But nepotism is rarely a good thing. Whatever money his show pays other companies for their solutions shouldn't be split with his wife's company. (he should always choose another company to send a person to for help, not Robyn's.)
I love Lila Rose. I will say publicly that I had an abortion at 18 years old. I was pressured into it by planned parenthood, scared to death, not counseled except to say that it would end my college career if i didn’t proceed and was drugged with Valium before undergoing a procedure without anesthetic. If it had been illegal my child would be here now. I later became Catholic and went to confession but even though I have been forgiven by God I struggle to forgive myself. Lila Rose is absolutely correct when she says that the trauma to the mother begins after the abortion. I can’t stand myself some days. It is hard. I look forward to one day meeting this child. I don’t feel worthy to even call him my child because I didn’t let God give him a chance. I controlled it all.
God has forgiven you!!! Have you been to a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat?? Forgot the other ones. God bless you, you didn’t have the heart you needed. 💕
God bless you!
God bless you and thank you for sharing your story. God loves you❤️
Very moving story. Do not despair though, use this pain for fruitful works.
God loves you. You’re loved and valued and totally forgive, with a clean slate.
Lila is a true woman with feminine virtues. She’s strong, courageous, intelligent yet her demeanor is incredibly soft and feminine. Her opponents (both Dr Phil and the mad lady in the audience) couldn’t do anything but be aggressive and hostile towards her. She defended the innocents with such grace and strength amongst the evil. She’s heroic and an amazing example of womanhood.
Lila is such a fantastic pro-life advocate. Compassionate, articulate, and totally uncompromising.
She is appalling, an epitome of pro life indifference to everything but her one objective
@@bulletanarchy6447 you’ve literally just given the ethos of the pro-abortion stance
@@flamesfan1417 There is no pro abortion stance there is only a pro availability of abortion stance
@@flamesfan1417 Abortion is for people who feel that is their best option, there is no group telling people that abortion is their best option, it will depend entirely on circumstances that only the pregnant woman will fully know. Which amongst other reasons was something mentioned in Roe V Wade that the right to privacy prevents authority from deliberating over what her circumstances are.
So no that is not the "pro abortion" stance it is literally the pro life stance that you are too ignorant to recognise
Lila is a hero! To refuse to buckle under this emotional terrorism with such patience, grace and resilience is truly exemplary..
Notice how someone losing a point of debate, tries to talk over her opponent, to the point of being insulting.
@@iesusegoconfidoinvobis4309 The only person that was insulting another, was doctor phil.
She is emotional terrorist No1
I was told by doctors to abort my daughter because she wouldn’t live past birth. She’s turning 16 years old in October and is such a joy in our family. ❤ Sadly, I was made to feel guilty about her health complications after she was born and told I should not have more children. So when I became pregnant again, I had an abortion based on medical recommendation. I grieve and regret it every day. Abortion is not the answer for any reason. We need to fight back against this false ideology. God bless Lila Rose and other activists like her. 🙏❤️🤗
So you think is ok to knowingly bring children into this world knowing that they will suffer and not be ale to live complete lives just becasue they will be a joy in your life even if they live in misery and or pain? Seems beyond selfish...
@@r.walker7986 Unless your fine with killing anyone without their consent who is struggling or going through pain, i think your living with cognitive dissonance. No one has a right to decide whether someone else should live or not
@@llamahguy7229 Creating a child is deciding whether or not a person should live or die, as well as seeking medical intervention.. we do it every day...
@@r.walker7986 Sorry, my last sentence should of been we dont have a right to decide of someone dies. You gave me a couple examples of creating life, which isnt a problem for me because i think life ia inherently valuble.

In all other cases, murdering an innocent party isnt permissable
I’m going next weekend for an abortion healing prayer retreat with the Sisters of Life. It was undoubtedly the worst choice I’ve ever made. Pray for my soul!! I should have never have made that choice!!
I will pray for you at daily Mass all week.
She did a wonderful job of being patient in the face of obfuscation, misdirection, and outright lies. Just listening to people defend the murder of “inconvenient” children makes my blood boil. The only thing more disgusting is TH-cam’s decision to put a “context” box on your video advocating for infanticide. God bless her and God bless you Matt. May He sway the hearts and souls of the misguided supporters of this abominable evil, there and at TH-cam.
Those proabortionists are the face of evil. They are grotesque. As you said, they lie & deceive.
I saw that Context box in Trent Horn's videos too. Disgusting.
It's so sad that in one of the most advanced countries in the technology and medical fields, the infant/baby death rate is also one of the highest, in the hands of the mothers and those 'medical experts'.
I'm not sure what context box you were shown, but I just saw the NHS page on abortion.
I'm not sure what issue you would have with it?
It doesn't say that anyone *should* have an abortion, it just gives information on how someone could do it and how it's done if they wanted to.
I get that you don't want people to do that; in many (perhaps most?) cases I agree, but the information supplied is pretty much neutral, it isn't advocating anything.
@@IamGrimalkin The part that is so disgusting about it they, both NHS and the US info, calls abortion health care. It's not, it's the unnatural termination of a pregnancy, in most cases. Yes the term spontaneous abortion refers to a miscarriage, but it's not the same as a D&C or a D&E whose only purpose is to end the early stages of a child's life. The health of the child is never considered. A life ends during abortion which is, in general, not a goal of health care.
@@m_d1905
So far as I can see, it never gets called healthcare on that page, just a procedure.
If just one baby is saved from seeing this episode, then it’s a miracle. We don’t have to change everyone, just one.
A very practical point.
Exactly. God bless
th-cam.com/video/JoXG5Ws49hA/w-d-xo.html
If just one extra baby is produced by rape does that make that ok ?
@@bulletanarchy6447 I have pondered this quite a bit. I have to ask myself, do two wrongs make a right? I suppose you can ask any person who is now an adult if they’re happy to be alive instead of being aborted because they are a result of rape. And really, shouldn’t we be more concerned about punishment of the rapist and how the rape occurred in the first place instead of seeing how we feel about aborting a child? It blows my mind that when a 13 year old girl is raped, the discussion goes to the right to abort the baby instead of how in the world was she raped in the first place. But I guess when we’re in the midst of making a point we gloss over the details.
It’s not about what a woman does with her own body. It’s about what she does with someone else’s body...
For the record I became pro-life after being pro-choice. It wasn’t a debate though, it was my deepening relationship with God
Bless you!
Amen❤
Lila is aggressively honest but she is compassionate in her words, her tone, and her empathy. It takes a lot of courage to look at a woman defending her abortion (especially when it's connected to a sad story) and still say the truth to them.
She’s not aggressive
@@savinggift158 aggressively honest* I think means not sugar coating or beating around the bush. Its true what you said though, she was not actually aggressive or angry
@@savinggift158 she doesn't back down from the truth, ever. She doesn't sugar coat. That's what I meant. She's kind but she doesn't change her message.
"(especially when it's connected to a sad story.)" Image describing the rape of a minor as a "sad story" 🤦🏽♀️ look up the laws, and medical requirements needed inorder to have an abortion. Before they past the new ban on abortions.
@@nadiacipher7018 as a rape victim and molestation survivor I'm allowed to use the words "sad story". Also, I wasn't only speaking about rape but also fetal anomalies, financial difficulties, relationship troubles, etc. Rape is 1% of abortions. Let's not use victims and their children as pawns in discussion. 👍 I believe abortion should be banned, period. So bring on the laws.
I hate how he dodged her questions and interrupted her, tbh. He controlled the situation, which made it unjust to invite her on in the first place. They didn’t even give the pro-life position a fair shot. Lila did the best she could with the trap they put her in.
He dodged the questions because he has no justifiable answers
I don't mind that he did that; he showed his cards for all to see. If this was scripted and staged, you couldn't cast a more likeable pro-lifer or more strikingly unlikable anti-lifers. The good vs evil, and love vs hate was apparent.
So true
Lila owned him bc she speaks the truth
I felt God was really giving her strength. The opposition was a plant and note: the only protester. All the right things were said and, at least, now there is so much more support for pregnant woman.
Lila Rose is seriously so good and we need to pray for her to have the grace to do what she does to help change people's lives on abortion.
Cool to see the guy from Victory with Matt Fradd making an appearance
She does a lot better than I would. I would just throw holy water and warn them of eternal damnation.

Ha! Me too. I haven't the patience to soften the blow of the truth
@@erock5b Yeah I generally agree.
Thanks God it wasn't you then. That has nothing to do with religion, but a reasonable and just law that either let someone be an owner of another human being even to the point of most cruel and hideous disposal or all lives have guaranteed to be equally protected.
Lila Rose is an angel of mercy. There is CHARITY in TRUTH and she delivers it in most beautiful fashion.
An angel of mercy who forces an underdeveloped 10 year old to carry the fetus even though the child, not the fetus, can actually die. Yeah right, she’s definitely an angel 🙄 🤮
This just shows that pro lifers are just a bunch of hypocritical clowns 🤡
There is no ontological difference between a wanted and unwanted embryo. Imagine telling delighted parents that it's just a clump of cells not a baby. They'd know you were ridiculous and so would you. But if someone doesn't want it... well then.
@@pf4877 That's illogical statement too. You are using a very rare example to promote a great evil. Killing another human being because you were raped is inflicting similar damage done to you on another human being.
@@pf4877 What did the baby do to earn death? The baby didn't do anything. Why are you murdering a child for its fathers crimes?
@@pf4877 Is it contemptable for me to tell a 14 year old girl that she's been raped and should attend counselling to help bear the emotional burden because I have no physical means of reversing time and taking those consequences off her shoulders?
Because essentially all I'm saying is that a 14 year old rape victim will have to get support bearing an individual innocent child because I have no moral means of removing this consequence of a criminal act by another person.
You admit no ontological difference, which means that an abortion would be as much a murder in this case as in a case where a baby is planned. So you believe context makes murder ok? Self-defence justifies it. How does the child's dad being a rapist justify killing anyone other than the dad?
@@pf4877 Well by that argument, the child must then pay for the crime done to the mother with the ultimate price: their life. Are you going to get the death penalty for a crime your father committed?
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 How often to you vote to support meaningful government programs to support impregnated rape victims? How often do you vote to make contraception readily accessible so that girls and women are less likely to become pregnant when they are raped?
Abortion is not healthcare, when I was in desperate need of a D&C for my miscarriage (that my body was not expelling naturally)a PPH affiliate facility that I was referred to asked if “ The baby was alive?” & I said not I’m having a miscarriage, they proceeded to tell me they could only help me if my child was alive… I carried my dead colds remains from 8weeks to 15 weeks, and the Dr that finally helped me stated that I had a significant about of tissue and was appalled that nobody helped me sooner! It’s anything but healthcare! DISGUSTING 🤢💔🙏🏼🕊
Thank you Lila Rose 🌹 🫶🏼
😱😡 and that’s what they call “caring for women “ “health care” …
I’m so sorry for that horrible experience that you went through.😢
Wow!
They are evil.
It always bugs me when I hear the pro-choice talking point that outlawing abortion clinics would make it more difficult for women to get other non-abortive procedures like ultrasounds or D&Cs. Thank you for your testimony.
That is indeed disgusting and even more so because it isn't surprising. Spiritual warfare is more real than this world and these people are agents of the enemy, willingly or unwillingly.
If Lila continues her life path and stays obedient to God, I can very well see her being a canonized saint in a few generations. I know we are not supposed to say stuff like that but the grace just radiates from this woman.
She is already a saint, a wonderful exemple for us all to follow!
Are you aware that we are all saints and if you actually read the bible God does not want us to worship others such as saints you portray at your church? There is no difference between worshiping Saint Lila and a golden cow

This is a gift.
Lila has such a beautiful face. She is so courageous in facing and fighting the culture of death and the lies that it perpetuates.
I don't know how people can sidestep saying "Yes, even at 9 months." but still have it within themselves to still push to legislate it.

Some ppl have no idea that they do have a loving choice. Culture can set that up as failure, trapped choices instead of several LOVING alternative. What a loving advocate Lila is. God bless those who help in those situations.
WOW God bless that girl for agreeing to be on their show! Not many people would have been willing to stand in front of a metaphorical firing squad and take punches like that.
"Let me show you how I'm empathetic before I hit you with my logic bat." LOL! Great way to emphasize Lila's truly intelligent and compassionate approach vs. how it could have been and how we can all mistakenly come across. Love Lila!
Agreed, but I do love the logic bat...
As a rape survivor, and a very pro life woman, I just want to say, I have a level of deep understanding for the woman who feels like she cannot carry a rapists child. I would NEVER suggest that as a way to handle the situation, and I think it is wrong, but I want to say, I have a deep understanding.
I cringe when I hear people yelling at these women and call them names. Lila did a beautiful job, and her points are right on!
@@elizabethmurphy3931 Many prolife folks understand how a woman or young woman may be very ambivalent about carrying such a pregnancy to term. I can only imagine what a woman goes through and I'm grateful I don't. My heart goes out to these women.
Thank you Lila! Your strength and grace while standing for truth is profound.God bless you!
Thank God we can still discuss this horrific practice of killing humans beings on prime time television. And thank you Lila for being a perfect representative for this cause for Life ❤️
Very true. Good that she did it while she still could.
She is extraordinarily articulate. Her points were so well presented. I would like to see debates like these where people, such as the woman in the audience, were able to argue their points without yelling over, interrupting, and speaking with such an emotional charge.
To be frank, it's between Lila Rose and Abbie Johnson that I changed my mind on abortion. Their passion, dignity, and humanity on this issue breaks through the euphemism-driven rhetoric which frankly I'm now ashamed to admit I ever fell for. As a man, my role in this world is to use my strength to protect the weak. The first time I heard Lila say the line about how the unborn are the weakest members of society, I felt tremendous shame over my own silence.
If abortions came with a free hysterectomy then these women would sing a different song. A baby is not an organ, so is not "her body" -- but the womb is; so why not remove that uterus instead?
Lila Rose is a “LADY”!
Lady Lila
Not sure if you read these but I just want to thank you for your kind reminder of mercy and grace at the end of your video. Hits close to home.
I’ve watched this whole interview and I’ll be honest… it gets a little hard to watch later. Both Phil and Lila get heated and angry with each other because Lila tries to claim that human life beginning at fertilization is a scientific fact and Phil argues that there is no consensus in the scientific community about when human life begins. Lila then responds by pointing out that multiple medical doctors support her position and then Phil does the most irrational thing I’ve ever seen him do by essentially just calling her a liar. At that point, the debate essentially just devolves into a circular argument with Phil yelling and Lila getting flustered while trying her hardest not to yell. I’ve never seen Dr. Phil like that before and it was kind of scary. Not because I thought he would physically attack her or anything but just because it helped me realize just how deep of an affection many people in the world have for something as needlessly violent as abortion. I’ve always thought of Dr. Phil as a fairly calm and empathetic person but when it comes to abortion, he has a serious emotional hang up about it and will do or say anything to defend it.
Sorry to hear this :/. Worth noting that Lila did later send out a video addressing this part of the debate, where it essentially just devolved. Just in case you haven't seen it but are interested :)
Just shows how truly evil Dr.Phil really is. He looks like a fake, manufactured human. He’s had obvious plastic surgery. He’s worked for Hollywood for decades. That tells you all you need need to know.
Lila is very sincere,you can see it in her face,she is intelligent,articulate and speaks the truth..God bless her and all our pro life friends all over the world.
If the baby isn't a life until after birth, why are people who kill pregnant women charged with a double homicide??
Hard to imagine a better spokesperson for the pre-born than Lila.
I think the downs advocates do a better job
“If the child is not there, why do you have to kill it??” Great question 👍
It's crazy how the pro abborts were accusing Lila of lack of empathy when she was showing nothing but empathy throughout that whole discussion. She really handled that discussion well, with peace and clarity, unlike her opposition.
I didn’t know forcing a 10 year old who was raped to carry the pregnancy even though her body is underdeveloped is called “empathy” by the pro-lifers. If pro life is about saving humans, then why are they ignoring the risk of death of an actual human being, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF THE FETUS???
@@aries6554 Hey that's a fair point to make, that is a severe tragedy and no little girl should ever have to go through that. But we live in a broken world with broken people. You should look up Kathy Barnette, she's a wonderful woman who's mother was 11 when she became pregnant via rape. She is living proof that God can make good from awful tragedies. I'm no medical expert but I thought in those scenarios abortion usually isn't the best route but pre-mature birth. At least in that way they tried to save both loves, even when it is unsuccessful sometimes. I hope you that you come to understand that prolifers care about both lives, in an ideal world the scenario you mentioned wouldn't happen but it truly is a messed up world we live in sometimes. But never doubt that our Lord can use those heavy crosses to bring a greater good. I'll be praying for you Aries 😊
Thank you for what you said about having an abortion. I did, and the minute I did I regretted it and I knew I had ended a life.😢. Jesus has helped me come to terms with it.
I just hope anyone who ever thinks about it doesn’t do it. I should have had my little person.
What it comes down to is it isn't hard to defend the right to life, which begins at conception. Lila is calm because she speaks the truth and in love. The woman in the audience was clearly hurting and most likely had an abortion herself. Anger comes from pain. I pray Lila planted seeds in a lot of the viewers hearts. That is ultimately what's going to end the atrocity of abortion, changing hearts AND minds.
There is a video on TH-cam of a former abortion doctor who finally retired after performing thousands of abortions because he could no longer stomach it. The process he described is absolutely disgusting and heartless.
I love how amazingly Lila Rose argues. So inspiring, motivating, and strengthening it is for pro lifers.
Lila Rose … thank you on behalf of many people for going into a situation where you fully knew everyone would be against you, yet you gracefully stood for Truth, even though it meant NOT ONE person standing with you. I can’t thank you enough … God bless you beyond measure 🤍
What an absolute unit she is. Just an incredible debater and advocate for the position.
I read this great quote somewhere...."Sin is redeemable, but stupidity is forever." Kuddos to Lila😊
Gotta love the “context” added under the video giving a very generous abortion definition… thanks TH-cam.. but if you’re looking for hope in humanity check out the comments under the same clip on the dr phil channel. Even they saw how wonderful Lila was amidst a pro abortion leanin host and audience.
She has so much grace. I really appreciate it.
if you make a woman abort due to rape, she will have to live the rest of her life with the consequences of being raped and also killing her baby, abortion doesn't delete nor make the rape disappear
Ty for covering this. Lila is a brave soul and a perspicacious voice for the voiceless. I think so many people don't understand the physical and especially the psychological aftermath of abortion. And Planned Parenthood has historically been complicit in that as well as in dehumanizing the fetus and normalizing the procedure.
I’ve seen the lady who was meant to be an aborted baby who was burned in the womb. Now that woman has a powerful testimony
What’s her name?

Lila is a rockstar for Christ and the unborn. Love her
I adore Lila Rose. She is an example of grace, humility and femininity who uses her voice for the good of society.
Thanks for posting this, and your comments!!!
Thank u for this video.. a couple of years, I was neutral to abortion, today I am pro life... there are many like me who are neutral.. there is a need to have many neutral people, understand the facts..
I can’t believe anyone would willingly put themselves out there like this. I am such a coward. Kudos to Lila.
That conversation was piercing deep there and I believe it will resonate in the hearers there and through media by God’s help and grace. 🙏🏻
Having a real problem understanding her accuser calling she has no empathy while the accuser is arguing to kill an innocent. No one is there - yes, someONE is there until you commit murder!
God bless Lila. I pray for those parents who are contemplating abortion, may their eyes be opened to the Truth and ugliness of abortion and for those who have aborted their babies, it’s not too late to run to God. For His mercy is an ocean.
In the UK this video has a caption underneath, Context "An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medicines or having a surgical procedure. Abortions can only be carried out under the care of an NHS hospital or a licensed clinic." big brother is watching you.
Wow, Lila has my respect. She made her points, with calm and precision, without showing the least bit of retaliation, even in the face of such clear antagonism from all sides, including the 'host'. Lila was clearly set up, up by a leftish woke agenda, that had no intentions of listening respectfully to her views and invited an aggressively pro-choice audience, to make the 'debate' as hard as possible for her.
Child sacrifice didn't stop in the times of the old testament......it still happens, the only difference is the names of the idols has changed.
Lila, simply cooly, calmly, and lovingly... nails it with quite simple facts... God bless her. A beautiful woman, and a beautiful soul... It is an absolute blessing to have her fighting our corner ....
Does your corner really need fighting for?
When my mom was in her second trimester of pregnancy 🤰🏻 (6 months pregnant 🤰🏻 with me), a pro-abortion 🕉️ Hindu nut job suggested that my parents abort me because he thought I had Down Syndrome (I have autism level 1 - ADHD combined type)! My parents chose to keep me! I’m now 17!
Lila did a fantastic job!!! I am not as calm as she is on this subject. I pray one day I can express myself like she did here.
Thank God for women like Leila! How true the statement of a friend when he said that "If you don't live according to your belief, then you'll simply end up changing your belief according to the way you live.
Yeah exactly she think everyone must follow her, because she is right about everything and everyone else is dumb.
Oh my goodness she was so so calm and collected 💜
“The child isn’t born yet, it’s not there.” Would she have said that to that woman whose child had a fatal illness and aborted it? Nope because she would’ve said that was lack of empathy.
she really is amazing, you should have her on again some time in the future
Matt- I honestly love your shows, how honest and real you are, how much you are for healing and the wonderful speakers you have on your shows. In short I am a big fan. I am prolife and I am a counselor who works with Rachel's Vineyard to led women back to the Church who have been through the grief of abortion. So clearly, you and I think very similarly about fighting for Life. However, I wanted to say that while I agreed with and was touched by how Lilla Rose addressed the folks on the show, I was frustrated that you were not more compassionate in your responses to those you did not agree with on the Dr, Phil show. Just as Lila Rose showed, compassion is what will change hearts. Intelligent arguments may make people think, but compassion makes them remember you. So please focus on compassion more and good arguments less. ( you did so in you comments about Lila Rose's responses--thank you!)This is just a gentle ask that all of us respond to the pain that drives people to feel desperate enough to have an abortion more and not as much on who won a point for our side. Peace and much love and respect.
God bless you & your service in Rachel's Vineyard.
But also remember, Jesus spoke very harshly to the Pharisees & money changers. I agree that compassion should be the main focus, but sometimes, some people need to have a reality check.
@@apubakeralpuffdaddy392 This is true, I just think that we focus so much on who is right and who is wrong that we often "Throw the first stone" at people we disagree with, without seeking to look more deeply at why they are acting out of hurt in the first place.
@@robynmosley148 Agreed. Women who've had abortion should be met with love, forgiveness, & patience. However, the advocates of abortion, especially if they're 'Catholic' need a spiritual drenching in cold holy water so they can wake up! These people have earned the scorn they receive. God's justice.
Lila did a great job. She conducted herself professionally. 😇
Two brothers with blindness. One has a vasectomy, other has 2 blind daughters. I'm 68 and am glad I had no children to pass on this family line.
Lila is awesome. I hope some of the listeners really listened to her.
Glad to see our funding is going to yet another background for you to use. What a good use of money Matt!
Lila is a God send, such a graceful woman
Is this the modern day lion's den? Did Lila seriously just walk into this situation completely surrounded by pro-choicers (tv screens, host, other guests, entire crowd...) and comes out unscathed from the lions? Wow
She is a truly great warrior st Michael protect her. I need to do so much more. Lila is an Angel
PS it is infuriating that TH-cam puts caution label here but you know there would never be a warning on any of their actual propaganda
Good video! Matt I think it’s great that you admire Lila’s calm style of debating; I do too. but I’d disagree that we all necessarily need to strive to be like that, providing that we aren’t already. I think all styles of fighting for the truth have there place at some point with certain people. Sometimes I like watching aggressive/rough and tumble debaters because they help me build passion for what they are defending.
Lila, you are the 'voice for the unborn' today and your courage is breath-taking. In the end, the Pro-Choice position is and always has been, a desperate argument based on 'how best to cover up (end) a pregnancy without the shame of it being seen as murder of the innocent. They in turn can justify their shame by following the government's stance of naming this slaughter, healthcare, see the 'baby' as not yet human, push the my body, my choice charade but in the end, they all know deep, deep down, it is an overwhelming act of selfishness and it's tormenting them. Sin is the gateway to death...having 'empathy' and owning their responsibility can only bring peace.
God bless Lila Rose! You're so right Matt we do need to show more empathy but Lila does a good job of sticking to the truth. Any woman who has had an abortion can be forgived God has mercy He loves you and so do I.
That word empathy is used in such funny ways these days. It used to be a strictly clinical word used by psychologists to explain why serial killers have no remorse for their victims. They have no empathy! So if you have empathy, congratulations! You're not a serial killer. But it doesn't mean you're a good person.
This video is very educational...
She is so calm and wise on her approach...
The rape argument is just an appeal to emotion. If you ask 100 pro abortion folks would you be okay with outlawing abortion except in the case of rape or incest, 100 would respond with no. Furthermore, it's like 1/10 of 1% of cases of abortion - the last time I looked up those statistics. Admittedly, a fews ago, but the numbers wouldn't change that much, if they did.
When someone says "women have a right to choose", ask them if they think women have the right to choose AFTER birth. Or ask them if a man had a right to choose before or after birth.
No because by definition women having a right to choose means it is her decision.
If a man had a right to choose it would be his decision as the two things are mutually exclusive.
And No because by definition an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, an abortion after birth is an oxymoron, a contradiction of terms in anything but figuratively.
