Welcome to the Eric Matexas show with your host Eric Matexas.

Hey there folks, I don't even remember where I was. My guest maybe will tell me, but I was at an event recently and I met Dr. William Lyle.

And he spoke a little bit. I think I was the main speaker, but I heard him talk and then we spoke at our table and I said, I've got to have you on my program.

People need to know you and what you're doing. He's the head of prolife doc.org.

Prolife doc.org. He's an obstetrician, sharing the truth about abortion and he's my guest. Dr. William Lyle, welcome to the program.

Thank you very much Eric. It's great to be here.

When we spoke, I don't remember half of what we spoke about exactly, but I just, I wanted you to tell my audience who you are, what you do, because we need to hear it.

So first of all, tell us who you are. I can read the list of your accomplishments and things, but you're obviously the founder of prolife doc.org.

And that's what 1999.

Correct.

Okay. But so tell us who you are, where you grew up, and how you came to be somebody so passionate about the children that are still in their mother's wounds.

Sure.

Well, first we got together for the first time over at the gathering, Dr. James Thompson, Colorado Springs. I've been traveling so much that I literally couldn't remember. I said, was it with your talk where Colorado Springs Colorado Springs. Thank you.

Correct. So I practice obstetrics and gynecology. I've been in practice privately since 1999 delivered over 4,000 babies. And the practice that we actually took over in 1999 at that time was the largest provider of abortions here in the Florida Panhandle.

We took over the practice and then we stopped all abortions and we stopped all referrals for abortion. Wait a minute. This is amazing. I don't I don't remember you talking about this. You took over a practice and obstetrics OBGYN practice.

And when you took it over, you're telling me it was an abortion provider.

It was the largest provider of abortions and had been for decades in the Florida Panhandle. So when we negotiated the contract with the physician that owned the practice, one of the stipulations was we had him sign a restrictive covenant to non compete where he couldn't practice any type of medicine for the next 24 months.

So it really forced him into retirement and he moved back to Sweden. And we pretty much thought, well, that's the end of our job. That was the end of our duty. And it wasn't until a Sunday after church that I went back to that practice.

I hadn't really toured the practice, but I had a key. So I toured the practice we'd seen the downstairs exam rooms ultrasound waiting room offices. But I had never been upstairs where all of the abortions have been performed.

And I know you do a lot of travel and there's certain places in the world where you travel and you can just feel the coldness you can feel that something bad something evil has happened here.

And when I walked up the stairs to the second floor, I couldn't help but think about how many thousands of women with a baby on the inside had walked up these very stairs, spend a half hour upstairs in the surgical suite.
