Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Targeted Father | Allen Jackson Now | April 22, 2026
- Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:05.697 --> 00:00:07.566
- I'm alan jackson.
- 00:00:07.566 --> 00:00:08.967
- The population of the united states.
- 00:00:08.967 --> 00:00:10.535
- Well, it's now 340 million people.
- 00:00:10.535 --> 00:00:13.472
- Had abortions never been allowed.
- 00:00:13.472 --> 00:00:15.006
- And had no mother ever thought of
- 00:00:15.006 --> 00:00:16.374
- Aborting her baby the past 50 years?
- 00:00:16.374 --> 00:00:18.844
- The population would be more than 400 million this year,
- 00:00:18.844 --> 00:00:22.514
- Which means that in the last 50 plus years,
- 00:00:22.514 --> 00:00:24.749
- We have had more than 65 million abortions.
- 00:00:24.749 --> 00:00:28.386
- That's 65 million babies that might have grown up
- 00:00:28.386 --> 00:00:30.689
- To be inventors, scientists, athletes, sisters and brothers,
- 00:00:30.689 --> 00:00:34.459
- Mothers and fathers as well.
- 00:00:34.459 --> 00:00:36.695
- There are pro-life advocates from coast to coast,
- 00:00:36.695 --> 00:00:39.364
- And nearly 4000 pregnancy
- 00:00:39.364 --> 00:00:41.233
- Resource centers, where expectant mothers
- 00:00:41.233 --> 00:00:43.034
- Can get all the help they need to bring their babies to term.
- 00:00:43.034 --> 00:00:46.438
- But even with the end of roe v wade
- 00:00:46.438 --> 00:00:48.173
- And the closing of a lot of abortion clinics,
- 00:00:48.173 --> 00:00:50.775
- It's become easier to have an abortion
- 00:00:50.775 --> 00:00:52.777
- With abortion pills mailed right to your home.
- 00:00:52.777 --> 00:00:55.847
- And there's more
- 00:00:56.248 --> 00:00:57.215
- That the pro-life advocates are up against,
- 00:00:57.215 --> 00:00:59.451
- Because we've just recently learned
- 00:00:59.451 --> 00:01:01.086
- That the department of justice
- 00:01:01.086 --> 00:01:02.487
- Under joe biden and kamala harris, will they weaponized
- 00:01:02.487 --> 00:01:06.057
- Federal law to prosecute pro-lifers?
- 00:01:06.057 --> 00:01:09.194
- That's from a 900 page internal investigation
- 00:01:09.194 --> 00:01:11.930
- From the doj office of legal policy.
- 00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:15.000
- Not only did they use aggressive arrest tactics and put
- 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.802
- Pro-life advocates in jail longer than other people,
- 00:01:17.802 --> 00:01:20.906
- But they collaborated with groups
- 00:01:20.906 --> 00:01:22.407
- Like planned parenthood to get them even more government
- 00:01:22.407 --> 00:01:25.076
- Funding for their abortion activities.
- 00:01:25.076 --> 00:01:27.679
- Not only were the lives lost, but the people who've been
- 00:01:27.679 --> 00:01:30.382
- Working to protect the unborn, they were seriously harassed.
- 00:01:30.382 --> 00:01:34.419
- One father even arrested in his own home
- 00:01:34.419 --> 00:01:36.922
- In front of his family, chained to a table for six hours
- 00:01:36.922 --> 00:01:41.126
- While they raided the entire place, and all
- 00:01:41.126 --> 00:01:43.128
- Because of his pro-life work.
- 00:01:43.128 --> 00:01:45.931
- Well, it's
- 00:01:46.231 --> 00:01:47.332
- Been almost four years since roe v wade was overturned.
- 00:01:47.332 --> 00:01:49.467
- But rather than a thunderous
- 00:01:49.467 --> 00:01:50.735
- Round of applause from the christian community,
- 00:01:50.735 --> 00:01:53.271
- The largest thunder has been from those clamoring
- 00:01:53.271 --> 00:01:55.740
- For the permission to continue performing abortions.
- 00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:58.810
- Our nation needs a hard change.
- 00:01:59.444 --> 00:02:01.646
- If you want to be significant in the kingdom of god,
- 00:02:01.646 --> 00:02:04.182
- Then your attitudes towards children will they matter?
- 00:02:04.182 --> 00:02:07.586
- Significance of the kingdom requires
- 00:02:07.586 --> 00:02:09.454
- A concern for the children
- 00:02:09.454 --> 00:02:11.323
- And not just my children, but all children as a nation.
- 00:02:11.323 --> 00:02:15.427
- How do you think we're doing with this?
- 00:02:15.427 --> 00:02:17.729
- During the previous administration, children
- 00:02:17.729 --> 00:02:19.598
- Were being trafficked across our borders,
- 00:02:19.598 --> 00:02:21.833
- Sold into sexual slavery in unprecedented numbers.
- 00:02:21.833 --> 00:02:25.770
- Around 600,000 children crossed the us-mexico border
- 00:02:25.770 --> 00:02:29.708
- Without a parent or legal guardian during the biden years.
- 00:02:29.708 --> 00:02:33.011
- Human smugglers,
- 00:02:33.011 --> 00:02:34.012
- They pretended to be parents
- 00:02:34.012 --> 00:02:35.280
- Sedating children with marijuana gummies.
- 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.049
- These criminal organizations treated
- 00:02:38.049 --> 00:02:39.718
- These children is nothing more than currency.
- 00:02:39.718 --> 00:02:42.420
- Homeland security said
- 00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:43.421
- The smugglers were getting $900 per child.
- 00:02:43.421 --> 00:02:47.292
- Well, officials have confirmed many rescued minors
- 00:02:47.292 --> 00:02:49.661
- Were forced to work to pay off their smuggling debts,
- 00:02:49.661 --> 00:02:53.765
- According to a senate judiciary committee report last year,
- 00:02:53.765 --> 00:02:56.768
- 320,000 unaccompanied children who crossed the southern
- 00:02:56.768 --> 00:03:00.438
- Border illegally.
- 00:03:00.438 --> 00:03:02.040
- They're still missing.
- 00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:03.508
- Thankfully, some progress has been made
- 00:03:03.508 --> 00:03:05.410
- Since that report came out.
- 00:03:05.410 --> 00:03:07.345
- Borders are.
- 00:03:07.679 --> 00:03:08.713
- Tom homan says they've now located over 145,000
- 00:03:08.713 --> 00:03:11.716
- Migrant children who were previously lost in the system
- 00:03:11.716 --> 00:03:15.854
- And through that ice operation in minnesota,
- 00:03:15.854 --> 00:03:17.722
- The one the mainstream media vilified.
- 00:03:17.722 --> 00:03:20.225
- Well, the operation found over
- 00:03:20.225 --> 00:03:21.559
- 3300 missing unaccompanied minors.
- 00:03:21.559 --> 00:03:25.330
- Well, that's happening in one state.
- 00:03:25.330 --> 00:03:26.831
- What do you think is happening across the entire country?
- 00:03:26.831 --> 00:03:30.235
- This lack of concern for the children.
- 00:03:30.235 --> 00:03:32.003
- It's not something new.
- 00:03:32.003 --> 00:03:33.805
- We've been enduring smut in our school libraries.
- 00:03:33.805 --> 00:03:36.708
- I don't think it's only happening
- 00:03:36.708 --> 00:03:37.976
- In major liberal cities.
- 00:03:37.976 --> 00:03:39.444
- More likely, it's happening where you live.
- 00:03:39.444 --> 00:03:42.180
- That's the world we're living in these days.
- 00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:43.915
- There's not
- 00:03:43.915 --> 00:03:45.050
- A political solution, only a spiritual solution first.
- 00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:48.853
- We can't be passive when it comes to the children.
- 00:03:48.853 --> 00:03:51.189
- I assure you, god takes children very seriously.
- 00:03:51.189 --> 00:03:55.093
- And he has a plan for every young life.
- 00:03:55.093 --> 00:03:57.929
- The spirit of god within us is what separates us
- 00:03:57.929 --> 00:04:00.365
- From the rest of creation.
- 00:04:00.365 --> 00:04:01.533
- There's something different about us.
- 00:04:01.533 --> 00:04:03.268
- We are the image bearers of almighty god.
- 00:04:03.268 --> 00:04:06.104
- He breathed his life into our logs
- 00:04:06.104 --> 00:04:08.006
- And formed our inmost league.
- 00:04:08.006 --> 00:04:10.041
- God told the prophet jeremiah, before i formed you in the womb,
- 00:04:10.041 --> 00:04:12.977
- I knew you before you were born.
- 00:04:12.977 --> 00:04:14.846
- I set you apart.
- 00:04:14.846 --> 00:04:16.514
- I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
- 00:04:16.514 --> 00:04:19.651
- You see,
- 00:04:19.918 --> 00:04:21.119
- God is conscious and engaged in the formation of our lives.
- 00:04:21.119 --> 00:04:23.621
- Even in our mother's womb,
- 00:04:23.621 --> 00:04:25.590
- He is long aware of us before we even utter our first said
- 00:04:25.590 --> 00:04:29.194
- Before we are even born.
- 00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:30.995
- He has a purpose and a plan for us.
- 00:04:30.995 --> 00:04:32.897
- We are each his masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made.
- 00:04:32.897 --> 00:04:36.534
- But i believe this is true for every child.
- 00:04:36.534 --> 00:04:39.371
- This is why we must speak on behalf of the unborn
- 00:04:39.371 --> 00:04:41.973
- And speak out for every child.
- 00:04:41.973 --> 00:04:43.575
- Every human life is precious.
- 00:04:43.575 --> 00:04:46.511
- You and i must occupy a place in this generation
- 00:04:46.511 --> 00:04:49.247
- To let the purposes of god emerge.
- 00:04:49.247 --> 00:04:51.783
- When we say abusing children is not okay.
- 00:04:51.783 --> 00:04:54.419
- When we cry out to god until something is done
- 00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:57.155
- Did we will see real solutions emerge.
- 00:04:57.155 --> 00:05:00.091
- Are you using your influence for godliness?
- 00:05:00.091 --> 00:05:02.694
- Godly change will not come from the top down.
- 00:05:02.694 --> 00:05:05.230
- It will begin with each of us
- 00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:06.731
- Taking god's invitations seriously.
- 00:05:06.731 --> 00:05:09.734
- Let's have the courage and boldness
- 00:05:09.734 --> 00:05:11.236
- To stand on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves.
- 00:05:11.236 --> 00:05:15.774
- Well, just a moment.
- 00:05:16.241 --> 00:05:16.975
- We'll be joined by sean carney.
- 00:05:16.975 --> 00:05:18.576
- He's the president and ceo of 40 days for life.
- 00:05:18.576 --> 00:05:22.046
- They're the organization that helped defend the pro-life
- 00:05:22.046 --> 00:05:24.549
- Father, who was simply trying to protect his young son
- 00:05:24.549 --> 00:05:27.652
- From an aggressive abortion rights escort.
- 00:05:27.652 --> 00:05:30.054
- He won big.
- 00:05:30.054 --> 00:05:31.289
- And we'll hear the full story right after this break.
- 00:05:31.289 --> 00:05:34.092
- I'll be right back.
- 00:05:34.092 --> 00:05:42.001
- I'll be right back.
- 00:05:42.001 --> 00:05:47.231
- The pro-life movement is as strong as ever,
- 00:05:48.166 --> 00:05:50.935
- But they're up
- 00:05:50.935 --> 00:05:51.936
- Against a new wave of abortions, not at clinics,
- 00:05:51.936 --> 00:05:54.372
- Many of which have been shut down,
- 00:05:54.372 --> 00:05:55.873
- But at home with pills that are mailed
- 00:05:55.873 --> 00:05:58.242
- Right to the mother to use with no one else around.
- 00:05:58.242 --> 00:06:00.945
- Well, sean carney is the president
- 00:06:00.945 --> 00:06:02.513
- And ceo of 40 days for life, and he joins us now.
- 00:06:02.513 --> 00:06:06.117
- Welcome, sean.
- 00:06:06.451 --> 00:06:08.286
- It's good to be on.
- 00:06:08.286 --> 00:06:09.086
- Thanks for having me.
- 00:06:09.086 --> 00:06:10.588
- Let's begin by telling us the story of mark houck.
- 00:06:10.588 --> 00:06:13.057
- He's the father i mentioned in my opening.
- 00:06:13.057 --> 00:06:15.126
- He was arrested at his home in front of his family,
- 00:06:15.126 --> 00:06:17.428
- Guns drawn, chained to a table for six hours.
- 00:06:17.428 --> 00:06:20.531
- What he had done that made the agents interested
- 00:06:20.531 --> 00:06:22.767
- In busting into his home like this.
- 00:06:22.767 --> 00:06:24.635
- Tell us a story.
- 00:06:24.635 --> 00:06:26.270
- It was wild.
- 00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:27.071
- You know, we hold peaceful vigils
- 00:06:27.071 --> 00:06:28.539
- Outside of abortion facilities.
- 00:06:28.539 --> 00:06:29.941
- Mark's one of our longtime volunteers
- 00:06:29.941 --> 00:06:31.876
- Going back to to 2007, and he was out at his,
- 00:06:31.876 --> 00:06:35.646
- Planned parenthood in philadelphia
- 00:06:35.646 --> 00:06:37.315
- Praying with his son and a planned parenthood
- 00:06:37.315 --> 00:06:39.650
- Volunteer, began harassing and screaming at his son.
- 00:06:39.650 --> 00:06:44.155
- And the guy got in, got in his son's face.
- 00:06:44.155 --> 00:06:46.991
- And so mark shoved them and they called the police.
- 00:06:46.991 --> 00:06:50.528
- The police were like, this is philly.
- 00:06:50.528 --> 00:06:52.530
- This is no big deal. so they didn't press charges.
- 00:06:52.530 --> 00:06:54.565
- The local d.a. didn't press charges.
- 00:06:54.565 --> 00:06:56.300
- It was it was really an uneventful.
- 00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:59.270
- And then mark got a letter from the doj saying
- 00:06:59.270 --> 00:07:02.707
- That he was the target of the face act.
- 00:07:02.707 --> 00:07:04.375
- The face act is from the clinton administration.
- 00:07:04.375 --> 00:07:06.744
- It prevents you from blocking an entrance
- 00:07:06.744 --> 00:07:09.380
- To an abortion facility, which, of course, mark was not doing.
- 00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:12.750
- But a face act is a big deal.
- 00:07:12.750 --> 00:07:14.318
- You can go 11 years in the penitentiary.
- 00:07:14.318 --> 00:07:16.721
- And so our lawyers represented him from the very beginning
- 00:07:16.721 --> 00:07:19.724
- And they said, hey, if this is real, mike,
- 00:07:19.724 --> 00:07:21.158
- He'll turn himself in, right?
- 00:07:21.158 --> 00:07:22.493
- This is no, this guy's not a criminal.
- 00:07:22.493 --> 00:07:24.795
- And so he we offered to he offered to turn himself in.
- 00:07:24.795 --> 00:07:28.399
- The doj ignored that letter and that offer for 3 or 4 months,
- 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:33.571
- And then did a dawn
- 00:07:33.571 --> 00:07:34.872
- Raid on his home in front of his seven children,
- 00:07:34.872 --> 00:07:38.743
- With 25, you know, armed guards.
- 00:07:38.743 --> 00:07:41.412
- They took him.
- 00:07:41.412 --> 00:07:42.313
- They chained him to a table for six hours.
- 00:07:42.313 --> 00:07:44.415
- Didn't tell him anything.
- 00:07:44.415 --> 00:07:46.050
- The local magistrate, thank god,
- 00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:48.653
- You know, let him go and dismissed it.
- 00:07:48.653 --> 00:07:51.656
- And when the feds
- 00:07:51.656 --> 00:07:52.757
- Brought their case, they have a 98% conviction rate.
- 00:07:52.757 --> 00:07:56.494
- They brought their their case.
- 00:07:56.494 --> 00:07:58.062
- And a jury of his peers in philadelphia acquitted mark,
- 00:07:58.062 --> 00:08:01.832
- Within an hour.
- 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:03.601
- And justice was served, thank god.
- 00:08:03.601 --> 00:08:06.470
- But this was definitely, an overreach.
- 00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:09.674
- And the weaponization of the doj
- 00:08:09.674 --> 00:08:11.809
- That that many in the pro-life movement saw under biden.
- 00:08:11.809 --> 00:08:14.979
- Unbelievable.
- 00:08:14.979 --> 00:08:16.180
- Well, you took up his cause
- 00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:17.348
- And ultimately got him a seven figure settlement.
- 00:08:17.348 --> 00:08:20.217
- How are he and his family doing now?
- 00:08:20.217 --> 00:08:23.020
- Well, they're they're relieved that it's over.
- 00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:25.189
- I think that that's the proper way.
- 00:08:25.189 --> 00:08:26.724
- They have been through a lot, and it's just, it's awful
- 00:08:26.724 --> 00:08:31.162
- What our government put him through.
- 00:08:31.162 --> 00:08:32.630
- And because he didn't take the deal,
- 00:08:32.630 --> 00:08:34.532
- You know, the doj went to him because they had no case.
- 00:08:34.532 --> 00:08:37.335
- The whole thing was nonsense.
- 00:08:37.335 --> 00:08:38.636
- So they went to him and they said, hey,
- 00:08:38.636 --> 00:08:40.137
- Plead guilty to something you didn't do,
- 00:08:40.137 --> 00:08:42.373
- And you won't serve jail time, and you won't
- 00:08:42.373 --> 00:08:45.309
- Have the $300,000 fine.
- 00:08:45.309 --> 00:08:47.211
- And you just got to plead guilty.
- 00:08:47.211 --> 00:08:49.180
- And, and his wife said, well, you can plead guilty,
- 00:08:49.180 --> 00:08:52.016
- But don't come home, you know, because you would have thrown
- 00:08:52.016 --> 00:08:55.186
- All of their pro-lifers under the bus
- 00:08:55.186 --> 00:08:57.054
- And you would endanger future pro-lifers.
- 00:08:57.054 --> 00:08:59.123
- They'll just they'll just accuse us of anything.
- 00:08:59.123 --> 00:09:01.092
- So he did not take the deal.
- 00:09:01.092 --> 00:09:03.027
- So when he was acquitted,
- 00:09:03.027 --> 00:09:04.829
- Would you only have a 2% chance of right
- 00:09:04.829 --> 00:09:06.897
- When you're going against the doj?
- 00:09:06.897 --> 00:09:08.366
- When he was acquitted,
- 00:09:08.366 --> 00:09:09.567
- He had the opportunity to go on offense and sue the doj.
- 00:09:09.567 --> 00:09:12.536
- And we were happy to represent him.
- 00:09:12.536 --> 00:09:14.438
- And in doing that,
- 00:09:14.438 --> 00:09:15.973
- He sued he they they decided at the end to settle.
- 00:09:15.973 --> 00:09:19.276
- And he was paid, you know, over $1 million and rightly so.
- 00:09:19.276 --> 00:09:24.281
- You know, in the course of getting the settlement,
- 00:09:25.282 --> 00:09:27.051
- You discovered that the department of justice
- 00:09:27.051 --> 00:09:29.487
- Under joe biden and kamala harris was targeting
- 00:09:29.487 --> 00:09:32.089
- And persecuting pro-life americans.
- 00:09:32.089 --> 00:09:34.759
- Your 40 days volunteers have simply conducted
- 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.128
- Peaceful prayer vigils in front of abortion facilities.
- 00:09:37.128 --> 00:09:40.398
- So tell us how things are working now.
- 00:09:40.398 --> 00:09:43.100
- Yeah, well, it definitely calmed down.
- 00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:45.536
- I mean, i'm glad that that report came out
- 00:09:45.536 --> 00:09:47.972
- Showing and proving that the doj was, in fact,
- 00:09:47.972 --> 00:09:51.208
- Targeting, pro-life americans, evangelicals,
- 00:09:51.208 --> 00:09:54.178
- Catholic americans.
- 00:09:54.178 --> 00:09:55.446
- And it was just shameful.
- 00:09:55.446 --> 00:09:56.681
- Now, during the time you could have told me the sky is blue,
- 00:09:56.681 --> 00:09:59.050
- I would have been like, yeah, well, what else is new?
- 00:09:59.050 --> 00:10:00.451
- We're experiencing this at one point,
- 00:10:00.451 --> 00:10:02.153
- 1 to 2 inquiries a week from the fbi.
- 00:10:02.153 --> 00:10:05.990
- And frankly, as you said, you know, we're we're peaceful,
- 00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:08.926
- We're prayerful.
- 00:10:08.926 --> 00:10:09.593
- We have a million volunteers.
- 00:10:09.593 --> 00:10:10.995
- They all sign a statement of peace.
- 00:10:10.995 --> 00:10:13.364
- We have no issues.
- 00:10:13.364 --> 00:10:14.398
- We had no issues under george w bush, no issues,
- 00:10:14.398 --> 00:10:17.702
- Under eight years of obama, no issues, obviously under,
- 00:10:17.702 --> 00:10:21.672
- You know, the first term of trump.
- 00:10:21.672 --> 00:10:23.240
- And then when biden took office, really
- 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.776
- It was fine under biden for a year.
- 00:10:25.776 --> 00:10:27.778
- But once roe v wade
- 00:10:27.778 --> 00:10:29.246
- Was overturned, this knee jerk reaction of the government,
- 00:10:29.246 --> 00:10:33.184
- You know, wanting
- 00:10:33.184 --> 00:10:34.351
- To enter the culture war, which is always disastrous.
- 00:10:34.351 --> 00:10:36.921
- That's what we felt and we felt targeted.
- 00:10:36.921 --> 00:10:39.290
- We were targeted.
- 00:10:39.290 --> 00:10:40.491
- And the mark hawk case is the best example of
- 00:10:40.491 --> 00:10:44.795
- You being able
- 00:10:44.795 --> 00:10:45.996
- To stand up to city hall, stand up to government overreach
- 00:10:45.996 --> 00:10:48.566
- And defend the constitution and win and that's
- 00:10:48.566 --> 00:10:51.502
- What was so glorious about his case.
- 00:10:51.502 --> 00:10:54.004
- You know, the number of abortions is going up
- 00:10:54.004 --> 00:10:55.973
- With the abortion pill,
- 00:10:55.973 --> 00:10:57.241
- Even though the abortion clinics
- 00:10:57.241 --> 00:10:58.542
- Have now been banned in 13 states.
- 00:10:58.542 --> 00:11:01.045
- But the organizations
- 00:11:01.045 --> 00:11:02.012
- That help facilitate abortions in other states
- 00:11:02.012 --> 00:11:04.582
- Now, they provide money for transportation, hotels,
- 00:11:04.582 --> 00:11:07.318
- And even the abortions for those mothers
- 00:11:07.318 --> 00:11:09.186
- Who want to terminate their pregnancy.
- 00:11:09.186 --> 00:11:11.455
- So you are fighting a multi-front battle
- 00:11:11.455 --> 00:11:13.724
- To save the babies?
- 00:11:13.724 --> 00:11:15.493
- Am i reading that correctly?
- 00:11:15.493 --> 00:11:18.529
- Somewhat, yes.
- 00:11:18.863 --> 00:11:20.030
- You know, we have now 26 states that have highly regulated
- 00:11:20.030 --> 00:11:24.168
- Or banned abortion.
- 00:11:24.168 --> 00:11:25.336
- So even at the state political level,
- 00:11:25.336 --> 00:11:27.171
- The pro-life movement is winning that.
- 00:11:27.171 --> 00:11:29.240
- The problem, as you articulated
- 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.275
- So well, is the are the abortion pills.
- 00:11:31.275 --> 00:11:34.345
- Now, the bad of that is that abortion pills went up
- 00:11:34.345 --> 00:11:37.481
- Quickly to being, you know, two thirds of of all abortions.
- 00:11:37.481 --> 00:11:41.652
- This last year was the first year
- 00:11:41.652 --> 00:11:43.454
- We saw a decrease in abortion pills.
- 00:11:43.454 --> 00:11:45.823
- And these obviously became highly unregulated
- 00:11:45.823 --> 00:11:49.393
- Going back to covid.
- 00:11:49.393 --> 00:11:50.761
- And then, the biden administration just completely,
- 00:11:50.761 --> 00:11:54.165
- Deregulated them.
- 00:11:54.165 --> 00:11:55.166
- So we are fighting that on on two fronts.
- 00:11:55.166 --> 00:11:57.768
- Number one, we are working
- 00:11:57.768 --> 00:11:59.136
- With senator hawley and so many other people on,
- 00:11:59.136 --> 00:12:02.239
- Having the fda look into,
- 00:12:02.239 --> 00:12:05.242
- How these abortion pills were first approved.
- 00:12:05.242 --> 00:12:08.112
- They did not go through the proper process.
- 00:12:08.112 --> 00:12:10.614
- Donald trump and rfk ran on this and have and have now started
- 00:12:10.614 --> 00:12:15.553
- That investigation, which is fantastic
- 00:12:15.553 --> 00:12:17.922
- Because the fda just rush these abortion pills through,
- 00:12:17.922 --> 00:12:20.891
- You know, we have reports of 15 to 25% of the women
- 00:12:20.891 --> 00:12:24.361
- Who take them go to the e.r.,
- 00:12:24.361 --> 00:12:26.096
- And everybody's just burying their head in the sand.
- 00:12:26.096 --> 00:12:28.299
- And so we are part of that effort.
- 00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:30.134
- We also conducted an exposé showing how these abortion pills
- 00:12:30.134 --> 00:12:34.471
- Being shipped through the mail has enabled, bad men,
- 00:12:34.471 --> 00:12:38.709
- To conduct forced abortions.
- 00:12:38.709 --> 00:12:40.511
- And we've just heard countless reports of, of men,
- 00:12:40.511 --> 00:12:43.314
- You know, with girlfriends or mistresses or wives
- 00:12:43.314 --> 00:12:46.350
- Who want the baby,
- 00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:47.751
- And they're sprinkling the pills on their smoothies.
- 00:12:47.751 --> 00:12:50.387
- They're putting them in blueberry pancakes.
- 00:12:50.387 --> 00:12:52.156
- One gentleman in california, held his girlfriend at gunpoint
- 00:12:52.156 --> 00:12:55.726
- And forced her to take 11, abortion pills.
- 00:12:55.726 --> 00:12:58.929
- And she gave birth on, on, you know, in her in her living room.
- 00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:02.266
- This these horrific stories and many of the men
- 00:13:02.266 --> 00:13:04.435
- Are are facing prosecution.
- 00:13:04.435 --> 00:13:06.537
- But forced abortion is becoming the new normal
- 00:13:06.537 --> 00:13:09.373
- Because they're
- 00:13:09.373 --> 00:13:10.574
- They're passing these things out like peanut butter memes.
- 00:13:10.574 --> 00:13:13.244
- And it's very, very dangerous.
- 00:13:13.244 --> 00:13:15.012
- It's very reckless.
- 00:13:15.012 --> 00:13:16.313
- And abortion pills have a horrible word of mouth.
- 00:13:16.313 --> 00:13:20.150
- So that's why we saw the trend start to go downward, is
- 00:13:20.150 --> 00:13:23.854
- Because the women who take them,
- 00:13:23.854 --> 00:13:26.357
- They all have their horror stories.
- 00:13:26.357 --> 00:13:28.092
- And unlike a surgical abortion, you're alone,
- 00:13:28.092 --> 00:13:30.628
- You're in your apartment,
- 00:13:30.628 --> 00:13:31.896
- And and, you know,
- 00:13:31.896 --> 00:13:33.163
- One of the things that we do is offer abortion pill reversals.
- 00:13:33.163 --> 00:13:37.067
- And now abortion pills
- 00:13:37.067 --> 00:13:39.003
- Still are distributed by 80% at brick and mortar places.
- 00:13:39.003 --> 00:13:43.107
- So we can still go out there. we can offer alternatives.
- 00:13:43.107 --> 00:13:45.776
- We we for sure save far more babies
- 00:13:45.776 --> 00:13:48.512
- From from the chemical abortions
- 00:13:48.512 --> 00:13:50.347
- Than the surgical ones these days. amen.
- 00:13:50.347 --> 00:13:53.317
- Well, before we take a break, would you
- 00:13:53.317 --> 00:13:54.618
- Please tell our viewers why your organization
- 00:13:54.618 --> 00:13:56.587
- Is called 40 days for life?
- 00:13:56.587 --> 00:13:58.622
- Yeah, it's it's biblical.
- 00:13:59.189 --> 00:14:00.557
- We take that time period that god
- 00:14:00.557 --> 00:14:02.326
- Has used throughout history, throughout the old testament.
- 00:14:02.326 --> 00:14:05.029
- And our lord,
- 00:14:05.029 --> 00:14:06.163
- In the new testament to, to not only get closer to god,
- 00:14:06.163 --> 00:14:10.301
- But how god uses that time period,
- 00:14:10.301 --> 00:14:12.670
- To chastise and to call back, his people to him.
- 00:14:12.670 --> 00:14:16.373
- And so we use that knowing, we're useless on our own.
- 00:14:16.373 --> 00:14:20.611
- And so we hand him this time period knowing
- 00:14:20.611 --> 00:14:22.713
- We can do anything for 40 days if we do it with god.
- 00:14:22.713 --> 00:14:25.816
- Amen.
- 00:14:25.816 --> 00:14:26.784
- Well, sean can you stay for another segment?
- 00:14:26.784 --> 00:14:28.285
- We need to take a short break.
- 00:14:28.285 --> 00:14:30.220
- We'd love to.
- 00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:31.522
- If you want to send me a comment or a question
- 00:14:31.522 --> 00:14:33.390
- About this discussion, you can log on to aj now.com.
- 00:14:33.390 --> 00:14:36.260
- Send me an email.
- 00:14:36.260 --> 00:14:37.394
- You can see on the screen just how easy it is to do.
- 00:14:37.394 --> 00:14:40.531
- I'll be right back.
- 00:14:40.531 --> 00:14:48.000
- I'll be right back.
- 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:53.282
- We're back now with
- 00:14:53.749 --> 00:14:54.817
- A ceo and president of 40 days for life, sean carney.
- 00:14:54.817 --> 00:14:58.988
- While the number of abortion clinics has gone down, even more
- 00:14:58.988 --> 00:15:01.924
- So after the dobbs decision, the number of pregnancy centers
- 00:15:01.924 --> 00:15:05.494
- That's gone up, there are four times
- 00:15:05.494 --> 00:15:07.363
- As many places where a pregnant woman
- 00:15:07.363 --> 00:15:08.998
- Can get help than there are abortion clinics.
- 00:15:08.998 --> 00:15:11.800
- But i don't think enough mothers are aware that they have
- 00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:14.069
- So many safe options for bringing their baby to term.
- 00:15:14.069 --> 00:15:17.339
- How big of an issue is that discrepancy of awareness?
- 00:15:17.339 --> 00:15:22.311
- Well, it's huge.
- 00:15:22.711 --> 00:15:23.946
- I mean, it's it's first off, you have some places that have,
- 00:15:23.946 --> 00:15:26.849
- You know, a pregnancy center for every 10,000 people.
- 00:15:26.849 --> 00:15:29.952
- But right now,
- 00:15:29.952 --> 00:15:31.153
- As you said, abortion providers, you know, are outnumbered.
- 00:15:31.153 --> 00:15:34.623
- Pregnancy research centers outnumber abortion providers
- 00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:36.959
- 5 to 1.
- 00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.027
- In most places, it can go up to eight, nine, one.
- 00:15:38.027 --> 00:15:40.863
- In other places.
- 00:15:40.863 --> 00:15:42.031
- And so the whole point is that you don't need planned
- 00:15:42.031 --> 00:15:44.400
- Parenthood,
- 00:15:44.400 --> 00:15:45.034
- You don't need an abortion
- 00:15:45.034 --> 00:15:46.201
- In the community, which is mainly funded by the church.
- 00:15:46.201 --> 00:15:49.538
- And private donations, can provide for these women.
- 00:15:49.538 --> 00:15:52.541
- One of the great things that the pregnancy
- 00:15:52.541 --> 00:15:53.942
- Centers have done has gone medical.
- 00:15:53.942 --> 00:15:55.611
- Where they offer
- 00:15:55.611 --> 00:15:56.545
- They have alternatives to abortion,
- 00:15:56.545 --> 00:15:58.080
- But you're going to see an r n, you're going to see an ob gyn.
- 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.250
- It's much more professionalized than it was 20 years ago.
- 00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:04.319
- You're going to get a free ultrasound,
- 00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:05.654
- Which planned parenthood charges for.
- 00:16:05.654 --> 00:16:07.122
- So these are beautiful resources
- 00:16:07.122 --> 00:16:09.024
- And they're saving
- 00:16:09.024 --> 00:16:10.125
- A lot of babies, particularly in a post-roe america.
- 00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:12.828
- Well, the trump administration has thrown its support
- 00:16:12.828 --> 00:16:15.130
- Behind the pro-life movement
- 00:16:15.130 --> 00:16:16.865
- Every year, even during the annual pro-life march.
- 00:16:16.865 --> 00:16:20.302
- Listen to the vice president.
- 00:16:20.302 --> 00:16:22.204
- We have made tremendous strides over the last year,
- 00:16:22.204 --> 00:16:26.308
- And we're going to continue to make strides over the next
- 00:16:26.308 --> 00:16:29.378
- Three years to come.
- 00:16:29.378 --> 00:16:31.180
- But i'm a realist.
- 00:16:31.613 --> 00:16:33.015
- I know that there is still much road ahead to travel together.
- 00:16:33.015 --> 00:16:37.119
- Take heart and how far we've come,
- 00:16:37.119 --> 00:16:39.555
- But don't lose sight of why we march.
- 00:16:39.555 --> 00:16:42.324
- And so long as you are out there marching for life,
- 00:16:42.324 --> 00:16:45.160
- I hope you know that the vice
- 00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.995
- President of the united states will march with you,
- 00:16:46.995 --> 00:16:50.766
- With the settlement that you got from our markel.
- 00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:53.035
- I'm wondering what changes
- 00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:54.336
- You've seen or been told about on how
- 00:16:54.336 --> 00:16:56.138
- The federal authorities approach the abortion clinic.
- 00:16:56.138 --> 00:16:58.307
- Protests and prayer vigils now.
- 00:16:58.307 --> 00:17:01.810
- Oh, it's night and day.
- 00:17:01.810 --> 00:17:03.078
- I was just at the the, president trump's last meeting,
- 00:17:03.078 --> 00:17:07.683
- For the religious liberty commission,
- 00:17:07.683 --> 00:17:09.518
- Which is led by doctor ben carson and reverend franklin
- 00:17:09.518 --> 00:17:12.187
- Graham and bishop barron, and they cited multiple times,
- 00:17:12.187 --> 00:17:15.657
- 40 days for life volunteers
- 00:17:15.657 --> 00:17:17.192
- Praying outside of abortion facilities.
- 00:17:17.192 --> 00:17:19.461
- And they are looking into the
- 00:17:19.461 --> 00:17:20.662
- Weaponization of the doj and preparing their report
- 00:17:20.662 --> 00:17:23.432
- So that it can never happen again.
- 00:17:23.432 --> 00:17:25.033
- And that is a great commission.
- 00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:26.902
- It protects all people of faith.
- 00:17:26.902 --> 00:17:28.837
- It's very much needed. and it's been night and day.
- 00:17:28.837 --> 00:17:31.240
- It's like a light switch.
- 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.341
- I mean, once the trump administration got got in there,
- 00:17:32.341 --> 00:17:35.110
- Our life became better and we just became freer.
- 00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:38.447
- And of course, no president has done
- 00:17:38.447 --> 00:17:40.516
- More for the pro-life movement, than donald trump by far.
- 00:17:40.516 --> 00:17:44.353
- It's not even close. he's done a great job.
- 00:17:44.353 --> 00:17:46.522
- He defunded planned parenthood.
- 00:17:46.522 --> 00:17:48.757
- He overturned roe v wade.
- 00:17:48.757 --> 00:17:50.626
- He has done so much,
- 00:17:50.626 --> 00:17:52.327
- For the pro-life movement, and they continue
- 00:17:52.327 --> 00:17:54.696
- To make promises in the future.
- 00:17:54.696 --> 00:17:56.198
- And with this fda investigation into abortion pills, the future
- 00:17:56.198 --> 00:17:59.968
- Is bright.
- 00:17:59.968 --> 00:18:00.903
- When your critics say that clinic protests
- 00:18:01.770 --> 00:18:03.805
- Can to intimidate patients, what do you tell them?
- 00:18:03.805 --> 00:18:07.142
- Yeah, i guess we have to talk to the patients,
- 00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:09.845
- Because a lot of them are thanking us in tears many times
- 00:18:09.845 --> 00:18:12.981
- Because they they were given that that one last chance.
- 00:18:12.981 --> 00:18:16.752
- And that's what a true choice is, is, is having a chance if,
- 00:18:16.752 --> 00:18:20.889
- If we were harassing people
- 00:18:20.889 --> 00:18:22.357
- Or we were annoying or we were waving a bible
- 00:18:22.357 --> 00:18:24.693
- Telling them they're going to burn in hell,
- 00:18:24.693 --> 00:18:26.161
- They wouldn't talk to us,
- 00:18:26.161 --> 00:18:27.663
- And we wouldn't have
- 00:18:27.663 --> 00:18:28.630
- We wouldn't have saved nearly 27,000 babies.
- 00:18:28.630 --> 00:18:31.033
- And we certainly wouldn't have helped 285 abortion
- 00:18:31.033 --> 00:18:34.836
- Workers, have a change of heart and left their job.
- 00:18:34.836 --> 00:18:38.607
- But they approach us. we are peaceful.
- 00:18:38.607 --> 00:18:40.609
- We are law abiding, we are non-judgmental,
- 00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:43.278
- And they respond to that.
- 00:18:43.278 --> 00:18:44.646
- And that's that's why 40 days for life is effective.
- 00:18:44.646 --> 00:18:47.716
- And, and that's
- 00:18:47.716 --> 00:18:49.084
- What's beautiful to see is, is the women themselves,
- 00:18:49.084 --> 00:18:52.621
- Who we've been fortunate enough to help,
- 00:18:52.621 --> 00:18:54.656
- They're very, very grateful that we're out there.
- 00:18:54.656 --> 00:18:57.459
- Well, before we run out of time, can you tell our viewers
- 00:18:57.459 --> 00:18:59.895
- What you have planned for this year
- 00:18:59.895 --> 00:19:01.597
- And then how they can get involved?
- 00:19:01.597 --> 00:19:02.931
- Yeah, we have launched an initiative that has just grown,
- 00:19:04.066 --> 00:19:06.802
- Which is our 40 days for life 365 program,
- 00:19:06.802 --> 00:19:09.438
- Where we have a peaceful vigil outside
- 00:19:09.438 --> 00:19:11.807
- Of some of the major abortion facilities year round.
- 00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:14.509
- And that is a great way to save, a lot of babies.
- 00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:18.180
- And we
- 00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:19.114
- What made this so effective is once planned
- 00:19:19.114 --> 00:19:20.949
- Parenthood was defunding was defunded.
- 00:19:20.949 --> 00:19:23.151
- You saw a lot of these locations.
- 00:19:23.151 --> 00:19:24.386
- They just couldn't stay open.
- 00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:25.487
- Their their cash flow was already low.
- 00:19:25.487 --> 00:19:27.456
- They were dependent on the government.
- 00:19:27.456 --> 00:19:28.957
- That's why you saw over 60 planned parenthood, closed
- 00:19:28.957 --> 00:19:32.294
- Last year.
- 00:19:32.294 --> 00:19:33.095
- You're going to see more this year.
- 00:19:33.095 --> 00:19:34.997
- And that is very important because so goes planned
- 00:19:34.997 --> 00:19:37.666
- Parenthood, so goes abortion in this country.
- 00:19:37.666 --> 00:19:39.835
- And so we have a lot of work to do.
- 00:19:39.835 --> 00:19:41.903
- But i'm so proud of our team.
- 00:19:41.903 --> 00:19:43.272
- I'm proud of our 1 million volunteers.
- 00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:45.407
- And, you know, we will continue
- 00:19:45.407 --> 00:19:46.942
- To go out to pray, to fast and to offer hope.
- 00:19:46.942 --> 00:19:50.779
- Well, sean carney, thank you for your time today
- 00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:53.048
- And for all that you do
- 00:19:53.048 --> 00:19:54.182
- And your teams are doing to help save the children.
- 00:19:54.182 --> 00:19:57.085
- Thank you.
- 00:19:57.386 --> 00:19:57.953
- Keep up the great work.
- 00:19:57.953 --> 00:19:59.221
- In a moment we'll be back with your emails.
- 00:19:59.221 --> 00:20:08.001
- In a moment we'll be back with your emails.
- 00:20:08.001 --> 00:20:12.504
- Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
- 00:20:13.638 --> 00:20:16.508
- Your emails. they're always a highlight.
- 00:20:16.508 --> 00:20:19.077
- Jay from nevada.
- 00:20:19.077 --> 00:20:20.145
- Ask pastor allen what are your thoughts
- 00:20:20.145 --> 00:20:21.980
- On the expanse which god calls the sky in genesis one 6 to 8?
- 00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:27.085
- I'm particularly interested in the water above the expanse.
- 00:20:27.085 --> 00:20:30.088
- Where do you suppose
- 00:20:30.088 --> 00:20:31.122
- The water of this water above the sky is good?
- 00:20:31.122 --> 00:20:34.859
- The water above the sky prevents
- 00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:36.294
- Space travel by men beyond this expanse.
- 00:20:36.294 --> 00:20:40.098
- In case you don't remember, genesis 1628 is god said,
- 00:20:40.098 --> 00:20:42.901
- Let there be a vault between the waters
- 00:20:42.901 --> 00:20:44.369
- To separate water from water.
- 00:20:44.369 --> 00:20:46.137
- So god made the vault and separated
- 00:20:46.137 --> 00:20:47.806
- The water under the vault from the water above it.
- 00:20:47.806 --> 00:20:49.741
- And it was so. god called the vault sky.
- 00:20:49.741 --> 00:20:52.577
- And there was evening, and there was morning the second day.
- 00:20:52.577 --> 00:20:55.480
- My reading is pretty simple.
- 00:20:56.081 --> 00:20:57.449
- I think the water above is the water in the sky.
- 00:20:57.449 --> 00:21:00.885
- The clouds and the water.
- 00:21:00.885 --> 00:21:02.187
- The rain that falls to the earth and the water below.
- 00:21:02.187 --> 00:21:05.357
- You know, i think for me, and this is my personal preference,
- 00:21:05.357 --> 00:21:08.626
- The the creation narratives in genesis obviously
- 00:21:08.626 --> 00:21:12.097
- Don't give us every detail we would like, but it do.
- 00:21:12.097 --> 00:21:14.899
- They do establish the premise for the bible,
- 00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:17.802
- If we will accept that in the beginning
- 00:21:17.802 --> 00:21:19.404
- God created the heavens and the earth,
- 00:21:19.404 --> 00:21:21.106
- And the rest of the bible makes sense
- 00:21:21.106 --> 00:21:23.308
- That there's an almighty god that can be known,
- 00:21:23.308 --> 00:21:26.044
- That he has the power to create the heavens
- 00:21:26.044 --> 00:21:27.879
- And the earth and everything that's in them.
- 00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:29.814
- If you reject that premise,
- 00:21:29.814 --> 00:21:31.316
- The rest of the bible simply becomes nonsense.
- 00:21:31.316 --> 00:21:34.185
- It's a collection of myth and fable.
- 00:21:34.185 --> 00:21:36.988
- Why would you worship
- 00:21:36.988 --> 00:21:38.223
- God that doesn't have the power to create heaven and earth?
- 00:21:38.223 --> 00:21:40.291
- Why would you trust a god with your eternity
- 00:21:40.291 --> 00:21:42.293
- If he didn't have the power to create heaven and the present?
- 00:21:42.293 --> 00:21:45.630
- So i would simply start
- 00:21:45.630 --> 00:21:46.998
- With the easiest possible embrace of god as the creator,
- 00:21:46.998 --> 00:21:51.436
- And then try to figure out how we can lead
- 00:21:51.436 --> 00:21:53.371
- Our lives in obedience to the truth that we know.
- 00:21:53.371 --> 00:21:56.975
- If we'll do that, we will change our world.
- 00:21:56.975 --> 00:22:00.044
- Kathy, from arizona email pastor jackson.
- 00:22:00.879 --> 00:22:03.348
- Incredible show. a breath of fresh air.
- 00:22:03.348 --> 00:22:05.183
- Thank you for speaking the truth.
- 00:22:05.183 --> 00:22:06.418
- It gives us a good radar to follow at a very crazy time.
- 00:22:06.418 --> 00:22:09.921
- Well, the times are a little crazy,
- 00:22:09.921 --> 00:22:11.156
- But god is moving in the earth. let's join him.
- 00:22:11.156 --> 00:22:13.792
- Thank you for spending a few moments with us.
- 00:22:13.792 --> 00:22:15.527
- God bless you and good night.
- 00:22:15.527 --> 00:22:15.527
