From the Archive: Charlie Stands For the Right To Life

Charlie Kirk (0:03)

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

SPEAKER_2 (1:21)

I'm a disagreeer, but first, I really do respect to engage with college students and promote open dialogue. Thank you for that. And I want to try to argue my case. So I'm pro-choice and I want to share why. My reasoning is, let's say, I have a homeless adult kid who knocks on my door in a blizzard. If I don't let him in, he will die of the cold.

I might choose to let him in, but the law does not force me to let him in. You've been saying that no one is legally required to give others their housing or support, even if it means saving their life. So here's my question. If we agree that people can't be legally forced to use their homes to save someone, why should women be legally forced to use their bodies to sustain a fetus, especially in the first trimester when it can't survive its own?

Charlie Kirk (2:03)

It's a good faith question. So taking rape outside of my answer, because rape would invalidate what I'm about to say, how about 99% of the cases are non-rape abortions, which is the analogy actually falls apart or the metaphor, because you actually do invite the homeless person into your home. That's what happens when you have sex.

You invite the baby into your uterus. So you could be pro-choice, be pro-choice of whether or not you're going to have sex.

SPEAKER_2 (2:32)

It's not always a choice. Sometimes the condom can break.

Charlie Kirk (2:35)

Oh, no, no, no, no, you don't have to have sex. That's the point. Having sex is not a human need. Eating and showering is, but you can wait until you're married, you actually don't have to have sex.

SPEAKER_2 (2:49)

Here's my counterpoint to that. If I'm driving a car, I'm taking the chance that there could be a kid, if there's a bike lane right next to me. This actually happened recently close to my home, where there's someone on a limescooter, on a bike lane right next to me. He fell off his limescooter and he got hit by a car and the kid died. That's really sad, it was the life that ended.

But I didn't have to go to drive. I didn't have to drive my car. The person didn't have to drive in the car who hit the kid, but he took the risk. In the end, the law still doesn't punish the driver because it wasn't his fault. He did everything that he possibly could, and he didn't have to drive.

Charlie Kirk (3:24)

You're equating having sex with driving, just to be clear.

SPEAKER_2 (3:27)

My analogy is that someone drive, it's my choice to drive a car or not, but I'm still taking the risk.

Charlie Kirk (3:33)

Well, hold on, but if you're driving a car and you do run somebody over, you could be susceptible to manslaughter laws.

SPEAKER_2 (3:39)

I could be susceptible to that, but if it's not my fault, then I don't get a manslaughter law. And what happened in this case is that they didn't get a manslaughter law.

Charlie Kirk (3:46)

At what point is something your fault?

SPEAKER_2 (3:51)

It's very circumstantial.

Charlie Kirk (3:52)

No, but what is the intent threshold when something is your fault?

SPEAKER_2 (3:55)

If you intentionally try to cause an action, then it's your fault. But for this driver, they did not intentionally do it.
