Summary

First we break down misconceptions surrounding what it really means to be "pro-all life," explaining why being anti-death penalty, pro-gun control, pro-social justice, and pro-open borders doesn't make a person pro-life. Then we examine the differences between Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's education platforms. Joe Biden and the Democrats are explicitly anti-school choice — a position that disproportionately negatively affects poor and special-needs children. Donald Trump's administration has invested millions into ensuring families have the ability to choose the education that's best for their kids.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to relatable. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a great weekend. We are
0:14.8	continuing our election series today. Today we are going to focus on education. Such an
0:20.7	important issue. If you care about justice, if you care about equity, if you care about
0:25.4	the least of these, the most vulnerable interpopulation, if you care about children, then you should
0:30.6	care about the issue of education and specifically school choice. And so that's what we're going to
0:35.0	talk about in the last half of this episode. In the first half of this episode, I have a little bit
0:40.8	of a rant because I've been spending some time on Christian women Instagram, honestly, not a
0:47.7	place where I spend a whole lot of time. It actually has served as the inspiration in a lot of ways
0:54.2	of my book. You're not enough. And that's okay. Because there are some statements being made there
1:02.2	in relation to the election about the possibility of being pro-life and voting for Joe Biden. And not
1:08.0	only that, the necessity of voting for Joe Biden if you are pro-life. First of all, I would like a
1:13.5	lot of these women who are making those statements to go back and listen to last Wednesday's podcast.
1:18.1	The number of women that I am seeing say, look at this chart that says abortions decrease more
1:24.9	under the under Democratic presidents than they do under Republican presidents. Like not taking
1:29.6	the next step to think, okay, correlation doesn't prove causation. And I've actually got to point
1:34.4	to specific policies that prove that Democratic presidents actually lower abortions. We totally
1:41.4	busted that myth last Wednesday. It is not true. You've got to look at who controlled Congress,
1:46.2	who controlled the state legislatures. The fact is Republicans dominated those legislative bodies,
1:51.5	mostly during Clinton, but especially during Barack Obama when abortion decreased the most.
1:56.1	I won't even say that that's what caused the abortion decrease because again, correlation
2:00.5	doesn't prove causation really hard to prove that causal relationship. But that is much more likely
2:06.6	than any policy that a president put forward. You understand that legislative bodies are the ones
