- Dr. Parker’s recent work has focused on violence against women, sexual assault, and reproductive rights and justice. He was recently honored by the United Nations Office of Human Rights as one of twelve Women’s Human Rights Defenders on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the United Nations’ Fourth World Conference on Women.
Willie J. Parker is board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and trained in preventive medicine. He holds an MD from the University of Iowa, a Masters of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health, and a Master of Science from the University of Michigan.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Dr. Parker is admirable and I'm so glad he is able to learn science without letting his religion get in the way. It's extremely important for medical care professionals to be able to put science over religion.
The world is trying so much to put God aside for science but i can assure everybody everywhere that it has not worked and it wont work. Period.
Dr. Parker's priority is the well-being of his patients, as he believes that denying them access to necessary care would have worse consequences than any repercussions he may face. Dr. Parker's actions demonstrate compassion and a commitment to medical beneficence. I also appreciate his belief in gender equality, as he recognizes that all individuals, regardless of gender, have a right to reproductive healthcare. This aligns with the principle of justice in medical ethics, ensuring equal access to healthcare for all. It is refreshing to hear such a statement from a religious healthcare provider, as many allow their personal beliefs to interfere with their obligation to prioritize their patients' best interests.
Why does this title use a euphemism for abortion?
Own it.
Another brilliant and compassionate sermon by Dr. Parker. Thank you, Dr, for your dedication to women’s rights, which are human rights. Your service is greatly needed throughout our country. Kindest regards
Jesse Lee Peterson destroyed this guy
♥️♥️♥️
A person can claim to be anything but that doesn't make it so. Actions speak louder than words and is merely showing his extreme talent of rationalization
I am glad Dr. Parker provides abortions to women. He is protecting my abortion rights. It is good that he was a abortion provider for more than 20 years. But sometimes women don't always feel comfortable with male abortion providers touching them. This depends on how women feel about male healthcare providers touching them. Keep up the excellent work Dr. Parker.
He's barely male
No one should have the right to kill their unborn child
This interesting to see because this man says it ok to have an abortion according to a painting he saw. This painting has nothing to do with abortion; it is more about sinning no further. It is about Jesus being tried by priests trying to trap him with scripture. Jesus shows these men that we should not judge, and I agree with that. But, he also acknowledges that we should not sin anymore. So, we should not say it is okay to have an abortion because no one has the right to judge us. We should stop having abortions because it is not okay. The task of taking a child's life is a sin, and using that same painting we should sin no further.
Moises Villasenor You missed the point of the whole lecture.
@@celieboo No he absolutely nailed it
it's called a metaphor. he used the painting to tell ppl to not judge a woman for committing a sin, in this case having an abortion, and maybe if you don't then you would understand why they have abortions in the first place. women do not dilly dally with abortions, it is not a fun thing that people like to do in their spare time.
Actually, Dr. Parker took years to figure out what his moral stance is. You should read life's work if you'd like to know more!
@@onikarutherford7021 And it's based off a huge false parallel. Jesus said not to kill someone who sinned. He did not say that sinning is okay just because other sin too and that we should help people sin.
It was AMAZIN' to see Jesse Lee Peterson dismantle every single one of this guy's pro-abortion arguments, to his face.
An ally to women & to reason
Other than the women he kills, sure.
@@stueve The term is fetus. Not baby, not child and certainly not women.
@@lefttoitall2982 Fetus is the Latin word for baby.
@@stueve I apologize, would you prefer embryo?
@@stueve And we use it to distinguish it from the cute breastfeeding thing.
He gives the same arguments I have heard thousands of times before. By using the fallacy of appealing to authority, he is merely avoiding his truly stupid arguments from being attacked
Very sadly, but there is no blood. Thank you all! Appreciate life!
What a beautiful soul. This is what Christianity SHOULD be. 💙
HE IS PERFORMING ABORTIONS! Satan got you.
@ Satan isn't real. Lol.
@@Smewby Hi Rah B, May I ask how you have come to that belief that Satan isn't real?
Not the case. This man has been led astray and I pray for him.
No
lament to you doctor you making fun to jesus
The intellectual gymnastics collectivists go through to justify to themselves their own brutality never eases to amaze me.
word
This is so twisted. Once Jesus dismisses the crowd He tells her to ‘go and sin no more’. Jesus calls us to turn away from sin and trust Him. This guy is just saying, ‘oh so you sinned? No worries come here and commit another sin while we kill an unborn child. Hopefully that will make it all ok for you’. 2 very different messages there I do think!
The bible condones abortion. Read up dear.
Rah B what are you talking about? I've read the entire bible multiple times and it most certainly does not condone abortion in any way whatsoever.
Exactly. Jesus prevented a sinner from being killed and then told her not to sin. He didn't say that sin was okay just because others sin too and that we should aid in others' sinning.
Another thing, it is not known what was written in the dirt, there needs to be scripture to back up this talk, either you're providing a political speech or a sermon, can't have one foot in the "world" and be a professing "Christian."
That is the argument that engendered Martin Luther's promulgation of his 95 theses in 1517 that led to the Protestant Reformation. We should be well past that argument.
Medical students, don't waste your time, the title is click bait, this is a tired sermon.
Jay K , medical students, please provide ALL care to your female patients
@@LaQuesaDeMI Born and unborn
This is really sad... this man clearly distorts scripture so he can rationalize killing human babies... this is like the saddest thing ever... I think the saddest thing even further is how he misleads other believers...
there is no scripture mentioning abortion in the bible whatsoever! furthermore, the fetus is not a "baby" until more than 24 weeks gestation- and, after 24wks of gestation the practice of abortion is illegal.
@@onikarutherford7021 A human fetus is a human being from fertilization. Abortion kills a human being, that is why it should be illegal
@@onikarutherford7021 look up the term "fetus". It comes from the latin word "young one" or "young child"
If a fetus is a viable human life from conception, then why do we only celebrate birthdays and not conception day?
@@ktjoktjo questions aren’t arguments. Oh and we do have baby showers and celebrations for getting pregnant do we not? I don’t know why we celebrate birthdays but this is irrelevant to the actual biblical and biological question of when does life begin.
Both science and biology agrees. At the moment of fertilization
I love and respect this man! He has done so much for womem.
He sure has! It takes some guts to provide abortions in this country. especially in the South
Yeah killing all of their babies. So respectable.
@@levrai944 🤣🤣🤣
@Jermaine Savory 😂😂😂
What kill their babies?
Abortion has nothing to do with reproductive rights. Abortion by basic definition is the extermination of a growing child inside its mothers womb. It is not reproduction it is a question of exterminating an innocent human life. Let's not distort such a profound issue.
Yes, it does.
If i am pregnant, and do not want to be, then it is my right to decide whether that happens or not.
@@antediluvianatheist5262 It is your legal right. There are many things however in history that were once legal but unjust and immoral. Humanity depends on mankind evolving as a species and that includes a common morality. I have no reason to believe you are not good moral person and I trust you believe that any action, especially one as profound as exterminating a potential human life, should have a sound moral justification. An example is violence. I believe violence without cause is immoral. If I simply shoot someone in the head that is morally wrong. If that person had just kicked in my door and came charging at my wife and children with a knife then there would be a moral justification to shooting that person in the head. Any such action such as abortion should have a moral justification, right?
The complication with justifying abortion I think is that the only bench mark we have are those who have already been born. We all pretty much agree that unnecessarily taking someone's life is wrong. The question of abortion is does the unborn have the same right to life as those who are already born and if not why? A specific example to your last statement would then be; why is it a mother's right decide to terminate the life of their unborn child, if it is morally wrong and unjust for her to decide to terminate the life of a child that is already born?
@@ianalan4367
it is reproductive rights because it involves a woman's reproduction system, obviously. yes. abortion is a horrible act that nobody likes at all. there is no joy that abortion brings to any normal human being, esp for the mother. but you have to consider that people do not dilly dally with things like abortion that is also life threatening to the mother as well. there is a necessity to taking the child's life, and that is a personal reason that the mother makes. no mother wakes up one day and decides to have an abortion. violence is not necessary unless it is in the defense of the subject, in this case the mother. the fetus is using the mother to survive, and the mother is practically sacrificing her body to nourish this baby. the baby is not randomly living in the mother, it is using the mother's body to grow itself inside of her until birth. because it is the woman's body that is being threatened, she has the right to abortion. the mother's financial situation is also something you need to take into account, because babies cost a lot and sending them to adoption/foster homes is an even worse punishment towards the baby, because the foster system is so screwed up and overcrowded with hundreds of thousands of unwanted children, we do not need any more. there is no right to killing born lives because they do not need to use another living life to keep themselves alive, and that is the difference between human beings and fetuses. that does not justify killing it, bc the justification and reason lies with the mother. there are many cases where the pregnancy is life threatening and the mother must get an abortion or she will die (700 women die every year in the us due to pregnancy). and even then, if she is willing to risk all of that, that is her choice 100% and it shall not be denied. but if she believes abortion is the right choice, than that is also her choice 100% and shall not be denied. where it draws the line is during the baby's birth and anytime in its life afterwards.
actually, the choice to have or not have a baby is the main definition of reproductive rights! the right to choose whether or not one would like to reproduce.
@@onikarutherford7021 By the time you realize you're pregnant you have already reproduced. There is a young human being in your womb. One you should be responsible for and care for, not kill to make your life easier.
The father has rights too.A Christian Doctor needs to follow the Bible and compensate the father or get the father's permission for the abortion. See Ex 21;22 'And if
men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit
depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall be surely fined,
according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay
as the judges determine'.
Honestly, a man really hasnt many rights here in truth. Mothers are responsible for the gestation period. Her body, ultimately it comes down to her choice.
Jesus prevented a murder, this man permits it. Do not judge, but do not murder either.
Christina Corcoran You missed the point of the whole lecture.
do not judge the women who make decisions for their physical, mental, and emotional health!
@@onikarutherford7021 there is actually alot of harm that comes from abortion. Mental, psychological, physical.
