All righty, all righty, all right.

Hey, be quiet. I don't got a lot of time.

You don't clap for politicians. It only encourages us. You don't want to do that.

First of all, thank you very much for being here. I very sincerely mean that. It's very excited to know.

I was already excited when there were 800 people here last year, but the fact that it sold out with 1,500 people this time around is incredibly encouraging.

All right, here's the part that's not encouraging.

We live in a society where if you support the destruction of innocent human life in its most

innocent and most vulnerable stage, you are most likely going to be lauded by the culture

as a champion of women's rights, of a champion of equality, of a champion

of general freedom. And if you oppose the destruction of innocent human life at its most

innocent and vulnerable stages, you're going to be spoken about as if you're some sort of radical,

that you're a part of a vicious patriarchy that wants to oppress women and hold them down.

And you think about that for a second. And you think about all of the depravity that

we've seen without society through history. And I actually struggle, I actually struggle

to find many other times in human history where I could say that something was as deprived

as not only killing babies in the womb, but elevating it as a moral imperative.

And yet, that's the society we live in.

Now, I used to think that the problem here was that we just didn't give

a good enough argument with respect to defining that baby in the womb as innocent human life.

If we would just give a better good faith argument, then we would change people's minds. And

the reason why I believe that was because I remember people constantly come up to me and

go, Nick, no, the problem is it's not a baby, it's just a clump of cells.
