It's an honor to be here with you all, truly an honor, blessed to see God's people working together to bring glory to Jesus, to press his crown rights and his glory, to preach his gospel and to protect the lives of these pre -born neighbors.

00:15

This is about the gospel. This is about the glory of Christ. You know, I think it's interesting, it's already been pointed out, but it is encouraging and in many ways an indictment upon the modern, even jellyfish church in North America.

00:35

When you look in this glorious Capitol, by the way, this is such a beautiful Capitol, it puts

00:41

Arizona's Capitol to shame. Ours looks like a storefront property. But this monument, this

00:50

Capitol is a testimony to the Christian worldview that has a basis for truth, beauty, and goodness.

00:58

This is how Christians used to build things, to the glory of God. They used to build things like God builds things.

01:04

He's innovative, he's creative, and he's good. That's what you see in Genesis at the beginning of the Bible. And so this is a monument, old

01:11

Christian churches are a monument to the Christian worldview and how beautiful it is and how comprehensive it is.

01:17

But as you look here in this Capitol, you see Bible verses. Now this is a pretty specific

01:24

God that we're acknowledging here, and I want to make sure I say it right, Missouri. Okay, is that right?

01:30

I see that some people are shaking their heads, okay, so clearly there's a dispute here. I'll just say it like I want to say it,

01:37

Missouri, and you can yell at me. But this is a pretty specific

01:44

God we're acknowledging here in the Capitol of Missouri. Their earth is the

01:49

Lord's and the fullness thereof. That's not a general deity, brothers and sisters. That is the word of the triune

01:56

God of the Holy Scriptures. And so I want to say that the people who built this monument in testimony to the glory of God and the

02:04

Christian worldview were not pretending neutrality when they did it. So why are we?

02:11

I want to argue legislators in this hall, legislators here who profess to be followers of King Jesus, who profess that he's

02:19

King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who profess that but will not press his law, his word, and his gospel in these halls.

02:27

They are the ones who are being inconsistent because this place has inscribed into it the words of the triune

02:35

God of Holy Scripture. This place is a testimony to the glory of Jesus and the

02:41

Christian worldview. Apparently the people who built this place were not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

02:48

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. And yet another one that identifies the authority of the triune

02:56

God of Holy Scripture over this place in Missouri, the Lord God of hosts be with us yet.

03:03

Now that's a specific God. We're not talking about some general deity. We're not talking about some general idea of God, something out there and gassy, but we're talking about the

03:14

God who condescended and walked among us and said all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

03:24

Now that was said over two millennia ago and that was said as Jesus ascended to the right hand of the

03:30

Father who is seated on his throne and those early Christians professed something that didn't look to be the case.

03:39

Let's all acknowledge it. When we talk about this specific Christian God who condescends to take on flesh to save his people from their sins, we're talking about a specific

03:51

God who said all authority in heaven and every modern evangelical is fine to acknowledge that, but he says and on earth has been given to me.

04:01

Now here's what's critical. One of the great failures that we have generally and specifically in this area of the abolition of abortion is that we are too afraid as modern

04:14

Christians in North America to press the authority of Jesus Christ to proclaim his good news of his kingdom and we are afraid to bring the word of God into conflict here.

04:28

Apparently these people were not. That's a specific God and I want to argue any legislator here who professes faith in Jesus and says they believe in the authority of Scripture who will not press the word of God, they are the ones who are being inconsistent.

04:44

It is inscribed into your walls. So that is a call of repentance generally to all of us and it's a call of repentance to legislators who have been given their position by Almighty God, called to be

05:06

God's deacon, Romans 13. Not the servant of some other God, but the servant of the specific triune

05:13

God of Holy Scripture. That is the role of government. It is ordained by God. It is created by God, built by God and sustained by God and when government defies

05:24

God, that government will go away. The text here in front of me says, where there is no vision, the people perish.

05:34

Yet another word from the triune God of Holy Scripture. Do you know that verse, brothers and sisters?

05:40

We don't read enough of the Proverbs. We need to. Here is that verse from the

05:46

Proverbs, Proverbs 29, 18 through 19. Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.

05:54

Maybe we don't understand it when we see that just there with no context. Where there is no vision, the people perish.

06:01

Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint. Well that's what's happening in our nation today.

06:07

It's all around us. What does it mean where there is no vision? This is specifically referring to the prophetic

06:13

Word of God, the Word of God that comes to His prophets, of course, His apostles, the inspired revelation of God because it says afterwards, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

06:29

That is a broken quote. There's more to the quote after that.

06:35

He that keepeth the law, happy is he. This place is a monument, a testimony to the glory of the

06:41

Christian worldview and to the authority of God's Word here in Missouri. So I want to encourage all of you, brothers and sisters, if this is your home, you press the crown rights of Jesus Christ into these halls.

06:54

You bring the authority of Jesus Christ into every sphere of life here in Missouri.

07:00

Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, amen? And we as Christians, we're happy to say that.

07:08

And because of the blessings of the Christian worldview and the law of God and the gospel in this nation and in the

07:13

West generally, we can say Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings with safety.

07:19

You can go out here onto the streets, stand there on the street corner and proclaim Jesus is

07:25

Lord and you can do it with general safety. Now I recognize Christian truth, the benefits of the gospel and justice is on a very thin line right now in our nation because we've abandoned this vision, because we've abandoned the

07:42

Word of God. I recognize that but we still reap the rewards and the benefits of those bold Christians behind us who stood on the

07:50

Word of God, proclaimed the excellencies of Christ and so we can say safely out there,

07:55

Jesus is Lord. And this is vital because this has everything to do with what's going on right now across the country.

08:03

Right now we have about 21 states across the country with bills of abolition and equal protection and every one of those is being resisted by and destroyed and killed by the pro -life establishment, many of whom profess to be believers in the

08:18

Lordship of Christ. But this has everything to do with what's going on today, the unfaithfulness of the modern church here in the

08:26

West. When we can go out there safely and say Jesus is Lord, recognize something, that when we say

08:33

Jesus is Lord today with safety, at the beginning of the church, when those early

08:39

Christians were proclaiming Jesus is Lord, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, they were making not only a gospel statement, they were making a political statement.

08:52

When they said Jesus is Lord, understand that that's what got them killed.

08:59

So many modern evangelical pastors say, I don't want to get involved in politics, I just want to preach the gospel.

09:06

Listen, there is no faithful preaching of the gospel that does not connect to politics.

09:13

Because people here in these halls are doing what? They're making ethical claims. When they legislate, they're saying you ought to do this, you ought not do that.

09:25

So they're making moral judgments and moral claims, and here's the question, does

09:30

King Jesus have something to say in the area of morality? When you proclaim the gospel, you're proclaiming the

09:38

Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things. And those early Christians were not being killed by Rome because they worshipped a crucified

09:47

Savior. They were being killed by Rome because they would not say, Caesar curias,

09:54

Caesar is Lord. They were saying, we'll be good citizens, we will be great

10:00

Roman citizens, but we cannot recognize the ultimacy of the state and the state's law over the authority of Jesus and the law word of God.

10:10

And so those early Christians were killed, martyred, slaughtered, flayed, torn in pieces, tied to stakes and eaten because they said

10:21

Jesus is Lord and He is ultimate. And let's acknowledge something, it did not look like He was.

10:31

When Jesus is standing before a handful of very confused disciples, brothers and sisters, and He says before He ascends, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

10:43

Let's acknowledge something, it did not look like it. And yet Jesus made the claim 2 ,000 years ago that all authority in heaven and on earth had been, past tense, given to Him.

10:59

And isn't it amazing that throughout Christian history, when the gospel went forth, somehow those

11:05

Christians previous to us understood that the Christian worldview and Christ's gospel was all -encompassing, and that it meant that when you convert a nation, that nation comes under the rule and authority of Jesus, and Jesus says in the

11:21

Great Commission that you are to disciple them, baptize them, and ready? We've forgotten this.

11:28

Teach them to obey. We have a broken gospel.

11:35

We have a bootleg gospel. We have a gospel that cannot transform, because it's not the gospel if it does not come with the authority of Jesus Christ over all things.

11:48

The gospel is not the truncated gospel of my private relationship with Jesus Christ. Is it true that I have a relationship with Jesus Christ of peace?

11:57

Yes, but that is a truncated gospel. The gospel is the good news of the kingdom, and we don't even know what that means today.

12:05

But it has everything to do with this issue here. Know this, that every bill of abolition, this is a fact, every bill of abolition and equal protection that is happening across the country right now is a bill that has come from the church.

12:24

Fifty years of Roe v. Wade, fifty years of iniquitous decrees, fifty years of legislation that God specifically says in His law word

12:36

He hates and abominates. There's no question if you create a bill, even if you profess faith in the same

12:45

Savior as us, that says you can kill these kids, but not these kids. On the last day, you will be judged for that bill.

12:54

That is an iniquitous decree that makes Isaiah 10 the fatherless prey.

13:01

It is literally permission. You can kill these children, but not these children.

13:07

You can use these tools, but not these tools. And we're expected to applaud these pro -life legislators who put forth bills that God specifically in His law says

13:18

He abominates, unequal weights and measures are an abomination to God. Don't tell me that you believe that it's human from fertilization and then you will pass laws that say kill these children, but not these children.

13:31

The church should never applaud those bills. The church should weep over those bills. The church should call them to repentance for those bills.

13:40

Now brothers and sisters, this is all about the authority of Jesus Christ. Every bill that is happening right now across the country,

13:48

Iowa, Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, all the bills that are happening right now across the country, be encouraged.

13:59

They are bills that have come from the church, from Christians who are pressing the authority of God's word in this area, saying this,

14:07

God says, here's what God says. These are God's standards of justice. Now we were told for so long, we can't be that bold.

14:16

We have to compromise. We can't go all the way. We can't, we can't call people to repent.

14:22

We can't call this murder. We can't use the gospel. We can't use the word of God. We were told that for decades.

14:29

And what did we get? Compromise, failure, 65 million plus dead.

14:35

And just in the last decade, with the church rising up saying no more, this is a gospel issue.

14:43

It's about the word of God. In just the last decade now, we have bills of abolition, equal protection happening across the entire

14:50

United States of America. Jesus is putting this under his feet. It's going to be over. But I need you to hear, the only reason that we are in this place now is because of the faithfulness of pastors and Christian organizations and people just like you who are preaching the gospel in this area, who are being faithful, who are using the gospel and the word of God to challenge legislators to repent and to be consistent, to actually establish justice and to do it without compromise.

15:26

It is happening because of the church. We don't need large numbers. God oftentimes, and you know this, he will whittle the army down to a number to prove to the world that it is him that's accomplished the victory.

15:43

It has to be the church. It has to be the word of God. Brothers and sisters, we've gotten bills in across the country and some of those bills happened with six people working on them.

15:57

Many of you guys know about the bill that we were able to get into Louisiana a couple of years ago.

16:02

It's an historic bill. It was the first bill that we, as the church, were able to get not only into the state but into a hearing and pass the hearing onto the floor since Roe v.

16:16

Wade, the first one. It caused such a stir, it was talked about on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the

16:24

New York Times. They were panicking. We got personal phone calls from people I will not mention, but you know, famous people, famous Republican talking heads, very well -known people, and they were begging us to pull our bill out of Louisiana.

16:41

They said, we agree with your bill. We agree with your bill. It has to happen, but now's not the time.

16:49

Don't do it now. And we said, God commands us. We cannot delay justice. We cannot.

16:56

We have to be faithful to God. Am I going to obey God or men? And so we got this bill into Louisiana, and you need to know this, brothers and sisters, in less than two hands you can count on how many people were involved in getting that bill in.

17:14

And so I tell you that to let you know, God doesn't need large numbers. He does not need large numbers.

17:20

He needs a faithful church. Now listen, I want to say this quickly. It's already been announced to you up here,

17:27

Isaiah chapter 1 is one of the sections of Scripture that God used to challenge us as a church, to cut me, to expose my own selfishness and my own inconsistencies.

17:38

In Isaiah chapter 1 when God indicts the covenant people of God in Isaiah 1,

17:44

He tells them He doesn't want their worship. He will not listen to their prayers. They're doing everything externally that looks like a faithful church.

17:53

On the outside, they've got the programs, they've got the gathering, they've got the worship, they've got the ritual, and the

18:00

Lord says to the covenant people of God, He says I don't want your worship, your hands are covered in blood, and here is what

18:07

God says. He says cease to do evil, learn to do good, seek justice, correct oppression, and here it is, bring justice to the fatherless.

18:22

I can't think of a more fatherless child, a child who has no protection and no representation than the child in the womb who is being slaughtered.

18:35

And here's the challenge, we read that and we've been taught today that we need to unhitch the

18:41

Old Testament from the New Testament. That that's that old mean -spirited Old Testament God.

18:48

But that's not how the Scriptures come to us, it is one triune God, Old and New Testaments, His revelation.

18:56

And I want to ask you this, do you believe what Scripture says that God is the unchanging

19:02

God? Do you believe it? And I love to point this out, in this room right now with professing

19:08

Christians, I don't know your denomination, I don't know where you're from, I don't know if you're

19:14

Presbyterian or Reformed Baptist, right? I don't know,

19:21

I don't know if you're the non -denominational denomination, I don't know. But if you are a believer in the triune

19:28

God of Scripture and you believe in the authority of Scripture and you believe that salvation is through faith alone and Christ alone, we have a unity in the body here.

19:36

No matter these differences on the adiaphora, right? Who's right, Presbyterian, Reformed Baptist, Baptist, anyways.

19:46

Whatever the difference, we are unified on the essentials, amen? Here's another essential we're unified on.

19:54

God is the unchanging God. That's one of the things that is a line of demarcation between the

20:02

God of the Bible and the God of the cults and counterfeit religions. He's the unchanging God.

20:08

And here's what the unchanging God says to His people. If you're going to live accepting this injustice, if you're going to allow it to be pervasive, if you're going to ignore it, if you're going to do nothing about it, if you're going to participate in it,

20:22

I don't want your worship, I won't listen to your prayers, I will hide my eyes from you. Even though you make many prayers, even though you look

20:30

Christian, even though you have your churches and your buildings and your religious offerings and all of the ritual,

20:37

I will not listen. And so He says to His people specifically, the unchanging

20:44

God, the same God today we know as heart, seek justice, correct oppression, bring justice to the fatherless.

20:56

And so brothers and sisters, I'm challenging all of us to live in accordance with that.

21:02

If you want your life to be about the authority of Jesus, obedience to Him, worship towards Him and the

21:08

Gospel, then obey Isaiah chapter 1. Lay your lives down for the sake of these fatherless children.

21:15

Give yourself away for their sake. But understand something, brothers and sisters, if you didn't know this,

21:24

I need to let you in on the dirty little secrets of the pro -life establishment. The dirty little secret of the pro -life establishment is that they are not fundamentally

21:34

Christian. They proudly profess that they are not Christian organizations.

21:40

They say that we are arguing this case on the basis of biology. Mark it down.

21:46

They say on the basis of biology, we know that it is human from fertilization.

21:52

And I've been saying this a lot lately because it should be obvious to us all, have we noticed that our culture doesn't care about biology?

22:04

You want to go out there into a rebellious, hostile culture and talk to them about biology?

22:11

You're talking to men with beards wearing panties and dresses. The problem is not biology or light.

22:19

It's not evidence. It's sin. And the only way to overcome it is not with a Christless conservatism.

22:26

It has to be with the gospel and it has to be with Christ. But the pro -life establishment, pro -life legislators, they have a worldview.

22:34

They have a doctrinal position. They have a confession of faith. And part of their confession of faith is anti -historical.

22:44

It is not biblical. It is technically in history, and this is the truth and it can be proven to you, heretical and not

22:51

Christian. Throughout the entire history of the Christian church, Christians from the inception were calling abortion murder and calling people to repent and turn to Christ from it.

23:03

That's the historic position of the Christian church. It's unified with what the Bible says. But the establishment has a doctrinal position that says this.

23:12

She is not guilty. She is a victim. She does not need the forgiveness of Christ in her abortion, which means brothers and sisters, the pro -life establishment has robbed these women of the gospel.

23:25

It tells them, you're a victim, sweetheart. You don't need Jesus. You're equally a victim with your baby.

23:32

So brothers and sisters, we cannot be of one mind with them because they deny the grace of God and forgiveness in the gospel for her.

23:43

But they also have a dirty little secret, and you need to know it because we have to refute it.

23:49

We have to put it in front of the communities around us to let people know this is their true position.

23:55

The pro -life establishment officially on record, on the dotted line, and in the

24:01

Missouri capital, they sat next to me here last year opposing the

24:09

Bill of Equal Protection saying that they did not want the woman to be seen as guilty.

24:15

They're on record. This is no longer a secret. It is out in the open. They believe that a woman, please hear this, must be able to kill her child in the womb with impunity, no punishment or consequence, and legal immunity.

24:34

I'm going to describe the position to you for a moment. It's a position that teaches that a woman has a life inside of her.

24:43

It's human life. However, the state must protect her ability to kill the child in her womb with malice aforethought, willfully, without punishment or consequence, and with the legal protection to do it.

25:02

I thought that was the pro -choice position. Did you hear it?

25:10

Do you see it? Please. The pro -life establishment believes what the pro -choice movement and establishment believes as well.

25:22

Women ought to, under law, be able to kill their children willfully in the womb with impunity, no punishment, and legal immunity to do it.

25:31

They hold the same position. The pro -choicer agrees that once the baby has come out of the magical birth canal, then if you kill it, you must have legal consequences.

25:47

The pro -life establishment believes the same thing. Then the woman is guilty and is to be seen as punishable by law.

25:56

Brothers and sisters, do you see it now? That is not the Christian position, it is inconsistent, and that is what is keeping abortion alive in our nation.

26:06

The pro -life establishment and their doctrine, they are the greatest enemy to the abolition of abortion in this nation.

26:16

Please believe me. That is not a conspiracy. That is not wild -eyed conspiracy.

26:22

If you were here last year, you saw them sitting next to me and Bradley Pierce killing your bill of abolition.

26:28

In Louisiana, it was the pro -life establishment that killed the bill of abolition. In Arizona, it was the pro -life leaders and establishment that killed the bill of abolition.

26:38

I was just in Iowa last week for our bill of abolition. Guess who killed our bill of abolition?

26:45

Representative Stephen Holt, the pro -life legislator who refused to give it a bill because he said this bill would lead to the prosecution of women who kill their children in the womb.

26:59

You know who fought against our bill in Iowa last week? Do you know how many pro -choicers were involved in ending our bill?

27:07

Zero. I saw none show up, none fighting against it. You know who did kill it? Iowa Right to Life, Senator Stephen Holt, and others.

27:16

The pro -life establishment is not Christian. The pro -life establishment is fundamentally opposed to the

27:22

Christian position and the pro -life establishment is inconsistent and that inconsistency is leading to more death in our nation.

27:32

They give bills of partiality which God condemns. Deuteronomy 16, 19,

27:38

Exodus 23, 23, Leviticus 19, 15, Isaiah 10, wicked decrees,

27:45

Proverbs 20, 10, 20, 23, they use unequal weights and measures. They acquit the guilty,

27:52

Proverbs 17, 15, they say to the woman, sweetheart, you're not guilty, you don't need forgiveness for this.

27:58

God says whoever condemns the righteous and whoever acquits the guilty are both alike an abomination to the

28:04

Lord, toevah, toevah. Have you heard that word, the

28:10

Hebrew word toevah? You're familiar with it, most of you, we are as Christians, because we have our favorite verse to preach the culture today.

28:19

Man lies with a man, woman with woman. We say God calls that an abomination.

28:26

Most Christians here in this nation at least know what God calls an abomination there and they're happy to say that's

28:32

God's standard, that's what he says, it's an abomination. He also calls acquitting the guilty an abomination.

28:38

He also calls unequal weights and measures an abomination. Brothers and sisters, we must approach this as the church under the authority of Jesus Christ and so I want to summon you, call you into this.

28:55

You are so needed. If you feel like you can have no impact, you remember that many of these bills happening across the country are from a handful of faithful Christians with no names, no platforms.

29:11

They're just with the word of God talking to legislators who profess faith in Jesus. Be faithful to God, sacrifice yourself for the sake of these children and I want to end with this,

29:22

I recognize and I fully embrace that we cannot with our creaturely minds fathom, comprehend 65 million plus image bearers of God slaughtered.

29:39

I recognize it, I can't and I find myself at times having to challenge myself. You're getting jaded, you are being indifferent now, you have to keep fighting, be faithful because I'm not overwhelmed as I should be at the 65 million children who have died in our nation under the church's watch.

30:02

You have thousands more dying here and dying across the country today. Abortion is not abolished in our nation.

30:11

There is no abortion -free state in our union. The pro -life establishment is lying to us, talking about abortion -free states.

30:20

In Louisiana, they said we have a trigger bill, once Roe is out of the way, we'll be in an abortion -free state.

30:29

So the mills close and abortions are on the rise in Louisiana. How's that happen? By permission of the pro -life establishment because they have protected the woman's right to DIY abortions.

30:41

You can do it yourself, a mother can kill her own child in the womb by permission of the pro -life establishment.

30:49

Mills and pills are still happening across the country. Babies are still dying today and God says, you correct depression church, you bring justice to the fatherless.

31:03

I want to do my best to give you what I think through on a daily basis and I never planned this,

31:12

I had no plan for this. The Lord providentially did this in my life, I wasn't seeking it out, I give you my word on that.

31:19

But to put a face on these abortions, many of you have heard that four years ago

31:25

I adopted a little boy named Augustine, Augustine Gideon Durbin.

31:33

He was presented to us by his birth mother in the womb, we were told he had the worst stage of spina bifida, he would require two to six weeks of surgeries, when they took him out they'd have to do it by C -section because we had the ultrasounds, big hole in his spine, we have it to this day, wide open, they needed to take him out, put him on his belly and no one could touch him between two and six weeks because he had to have surgery on his spine, he had to have a brain shunt put in, he maybe had to have surgery for clubbed feet, two to six weeks of surgeries at Christmas.

32:11

And so we agreed, this is our son, we're going to adopt him. So we had a little bit of time to pray and ask all of you and others across the world to pray for him, and the day he came,

32:23

December 13, 2019, we were prepared for that entire two to six week stay, he had an entire surgical team dedicated to him, standby, ready to pull him out and get him right into surgery.

32:35

And in December 13, 2019, God showed off to the world. My son came out and mystified the doctors and nurses, he was completely healed and whole.

32:54

What you need to understand is that his birth mother when she found out she was pregnant with him at five months, she went to kill him at an abortion mill.

33:05

A Christian named Tabitha who knew her, stopped her, sacrificed her life for her, moved her into her home, said

33:13

I'll pay for everything, I'll go to every doctor's appointment, we will find a family to adopt your son, do not murder your son.

33:21

And then she found out that he had spina bifida and she said now nobody's going to want him, and Tabitha stood in the way, and she said do not murder your son, we will find a family to adopt your son.

33:33

Tabitha told me for a period of two weeks, every single day she was trying to go to the murder mill to take my son's life, and Tabitha, a

33:40

Christian, stood in the way and, very important, and told her the truth.

33:48

Do not murder your son. So my son almost had his life ended by this industry.

33:56

His name is Augustine, you think about him when you think about abortion. I just adopted now two more babies.

34:06

Months ago I didn't see this coming either, something God surprised us with. We were told, we were asked to adopt a baby from a mother in Wisconsin, I'll skip a lot of the details but they are amazing.

34:24

We were told, we were asked to adopt this baby, and then we found out through an ultrasound that it's not baby, it's babies, baby

34:33

A and baby B. One week after we found out that it's twins, we got a phone call, an emergency phone call that she was going into early labor at 29 weeks and she was getting an emergency

34:44

C -section and she asked us to come immediately. We came out and ended up spending two months in Wisconsin going back and forth every week my wife and I traded off, driving between two hospitals in Wisconsin every day, two hours apart with two babies in two separate

35:05

NICUs for two months. My daughter Piper almost died numerous times.

35:11

She got neck which is gangrene in her intestines and they had to remove 30 centimeters of intestines from her which led to inflammation that led to cerebral palsy.

35:22

They're both home with us now and they are glorious. Piper's okay and she's beautiful.

35:30

So is Nora. But their birth mother contacted me recently and said that she wanted the world to know what a miracle they were.

35:41

And I said, well of course they are. And she said, no there's more. She said, when I found out that I was pregnant, she said,

35:49

I went to get the abortion pill. I took the abortion pill. The next day

35:55

I was cramping and bleeding. I swore that I had an abortion. But just to make sure,

36:01

I went and got another one. And I did it again. Two abortion pills.

36:08

And God saved their lives. So please, when you think about the mills and the pills, you think about August, Piper and Nora.
