Hi, my name is Adam Robles, and I realize that the title of this video may have shocked you But it isn't what you think.

00:08

I am absolutely still convinced that the abortion Issue is one of the most important issues in involving biblical justice that we're engaged in as a country

00:20

I think that the epidemic of systematic killing that goes on in the womb is absolutely abhorrent and evil and One of the worst things

00:31

I could even imagine Being so popular and so I'm still very much anti -abortion.

00:37

However, there is a movement afoot And it has been this way for quite some time.

00:43

There is a movement afoot to sort of kind of finagle the meaning of pro -life Into incorporating all of these other things that aren't that have nothing to do with abortion

00:53

So liberals have done this for a long time. They've said that You know, you're not really pro -life because you support the death penalty or you're not really pro -life because you don't support welfare and things like that, so you're just pro -birth and My response to that was always yeah,

01:08

I am pro -birth. That's exactly right I think births are good are a good thing and I'm pro that And so liberals have done this for a while They've kind of made that kind of point to try to win.

01:19

I don't know some argument or something like that But what I've found is actually people that you would normally consider conservatives are doing the same thing

01:26

I saw a recent tweet That somebody had posted from Russell Moore I guess he had a life conference a pro -life conference over the weekend and he was introducing

01:39

Ann Voskamp and her talk was gonna be about immigration and and refugees and that was in the pro -life conference and so This is something that now even on the

01:49

Christian side on the conservative side of things that's becoming more popular where you say well, you can't be pro -life unless you're also pro -immigration and pro -refugees and also, you know pro whatever liberal thing you can imagine and That's just not the case a pro -life has nothing to do with that Pro -life is a very specific thing

02:06

And so if that's what pro -life is going to mean then I'm quite happy to discard the term.

02:11

I don't need to be called pro -life I'm just fine being anti -abortion. Okay, I'm just fine being anti baby -killing

02:19

I don't need the rest of that stuff as well And and the sad part about that is even with the the Russell Moore tweet that I that I talked about I probably agree with him and also and Voskamp I don't know what she said, but based on what it looked like that was about I probably agree with them on the refugee thing.

02:34

I probably agree with them on the immigration issue But I recognize that that has nothing to do with pro -life, you know, if you keep doing this

02:42

Eventually pro -life you you won't be able to be pro -life unless you're voting Democrat unless you support all the nonsense that that Democrats support

02:50

And so, you know what if you want if that's what you want pro -life to be going forward. I'm how

02:55

I'm quite happy with that I don't I don't need to to to have the label I'm you know, I'm quite happy to be anti -abortion and that's what

03:03

I'm focused on I don't need to embrace the whole Democrat liberal structure of cradle -to -grave care that kind of thing.

03:09

I'm not interested in that I'd rather be able to maintain my nuance. I'd rather be able to maintain a biblical position on all those issues.

03:17

So Yeah, if that's what pro -life has become if that's what pro -life means that I have to go along with all this other stuff as well

03:23

Welfare things like that. I'm quite happy not to be pro -life anymore. And so that's why

03:29

I titled this video the way it is I think you should be careful because if people are telling you what pro -life means and it means all this stuff that's unbiblical

03:36

I would suggest discarding it as well. There's the term isn't Important what matters is what the what what your positions are, right?

03:44

So if if you know if you're anti -abortion and you're not the rest of those other things you don't support the the immigration stuff

03:52

You don't support welfare and things like that Just discard the term. I don't care. They can have it for all

03:57

I care In fact anti -abortion gets to the quick cuts to the quick a lot better I mean, it's just actually a more precise term.

04:03

And so yeah, I'm for the criminalization of abortion I want it to be criminalized. I want people who do abortions to be prosecuted

04:10

I want them to be punished accordingly and and that's that's as simple as that. Anyway, that's my video
