REBUTTAL: Emmanuel Acho’s 'Uncomfortable' Roe v Wade Conversation | Ep 641

[@LoriLev1107]

I thank God for giving me wise parents who told me abortion was murder, and that sex outside of marriage could lead to murder if I chose to have sex before marriage and had an abortion. They also told me that a man who really loved me would respect my decision to wait. Thank God I believed them. So When hormones were raging as a teen and I really wanted to have sex, that's what stopped me. I never wanted to be in that position. It was worth it to wait! Then I got saved and was so thankful I could go to the altar as a virgin. God gets all the glory!

[@Yesica1993]

Rejection of God's Word is the reason for all of this in the first place! Sex is for marriage. Teens, especially, have no business having sex. They can't handle the emotional issues, much less any baby that may result.

[@bambiiulrich6803]

I've worked in healthcare for 38 years. I've worked in utilization review, quality assurance and for the last 7 years I work with an OB/GYNE physician. I have never heard of any physician who did not understand that a tubal pregnancy is not a viable situation for the baby or mother and removal of the fallopian tube and pregnancy is the only medical solution in most cases. It is NOT considered an elective abortion. What this woman is saying are straight out lies!

[@loiscarteaux9389]

As a retired nurse THANK YOU for speaking TRUTH!

[@velociray]

Where were the uncomfortable questions like, "Did you know pregnancy is a possible side effect of sex, do you think having sex outside of marriage was a responsible decision, would you advise other young girls to abstain so as to avoid murder?" Scripture says, "You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord....And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?"

Because that is how it is charted. A miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion. The procedure to remove the non viable clump of parasitic cells is classified as an abortion.

[@lizwilson51]

I don't understand how that lie keeps circulating either. Even on the Planned Parenthood website, they explicitly state that treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is not the same as an abortion. They also explain a miscarriage is not the same as an abortion (how this is circulating is beyond me). Yes it's called medically "a spontaneous abortion" but an abortion is "the deliberate termination of a pregnancy" which is not the same at all.

[@jessitabonita]

The Olympian says she tries to be Christ like, yet killed her baby that was conceived out of wedlock. 🤨 Not condemning her, but it sounds like she's talking about a different Christ, a different Bible, or just doesn't understand the true biblical Christ and value of a life and to sacrifice HER "dreams" for the life of her child. I'd like to ask her: Was it worth it? To lose your child and the race? Are you aware you're deceived? Do you not see this big lie being fed to women, especially black women, that this is indeed NOT "empowerment?" IMAGINE being so deceived to conflate murdering your own child with a "life saving procedure." It's so heartbreaking. 😔

Can you imagine the story she would have told her child? " Mom found out she was pregnant with you just before the Olympics. I was so scared but I raced pregnant anyway. You were in the Olympics with me!!!" Maybe she would have had a miscarriage, maybe she would have lost the race anyway and the baby would have been a comfort to her. Whatever the outcome, there's still hope for her to repent of her sins and come to Christ. God can forgive her and redeem her life. May we learn from her life and choose to trust God with unplanned circumstances. 🙏

[@vikawinters]

And what if she couldn’t? Brazilian volleyball star Ana Paula gave up her career at the height of it, gave up on the Olympic Games she was looking forward to go - and would almost certainly win as she was a powerful player in a team of stars. All bc she found out she was pregnant. Pregnancy was one of the reasons that would lead to forfeiture of her contract with the team. She chose to not kill her baby, she forfeited the contract and all the glory that would come with it. It’s not about “saving” my life, it’s about doing what is right even when it doesn’t make bem happy.

Or that is Texas now. Not just Texas but West Virginia even put it in writing that ending an ectopic pregnancy is illegal. I’m glad you were able to have the life saving procedure. If you do not believe the woman speaking or me, please look into it. This is what these laws have done.

[@JossephDavvid]

@@daneesledge1626 - Wth all due respect, what you have posted regarding The Texas Abortion law and Ectopic Pregnancies is incorrect.

"An act is not an abortion if the act is done with the intent to: (A) save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child; (B) remove a dead, unborn child whose death was caused by spontaneous abortion; or (C) remove an ectopic pregnancy."

@@daneesledge1626 That's fine. I just hope that we can agree with the need to correct a statement that was purely misinformation (be that done unintentionally or intentionally) Additionally, this would seem to be a case of the doctor being ignorant of the law, which is actually very troubling if said person has practiced for any length of time. I could be mistaken, but I don't believe that there are laws in the US (certainly within the past 30 years) which codify the removal of an ectopic pregnancy as illegal. With that in mind, it should be incumbent upon everyone to ensure that they employ competent medical practitioners.

[@daneesledge1626]

@@JossephDavvid I am not sure which statement of “purely misinformation” you’re referring to. I pointed out that this woman, who lives in Texas, had to wait 2 weeks to get the care she needed for a ectopic pregnancy because her doctor was fearful of legal ramifications. That is what happened. That is her story. That is the truth of her lived experience. You may look at the law and say it is impossible or question the doctor, but that is something different than my point. My point is women are saying their lives are in danger and this is one example. I also know in West Virginia the law was ending an ectopic pregnancy was illegal. They may have changed it since then, but I know women in WV who are concerned. Again, you may look at what is written in the laws and say that women should not be in danger. But they are telling you they are. So yes, I do agree with you that we need to be careful about misinformation. Which is why I think it’s important to listen to the women who are saying they are not getting the care they need to save their lives because of these new anti-abortion laws.

They’re still young for the sex/birth control piece, but not too young to understand murder. And when I ask them “what if the mommy doesn’t want a baby yet? What if she has no room in the house or wants to wait a few years to be a mommy?” their answer was “It doesn’t matter- the baby is already there.” I was so happy my girls already understand such important ideas and spot what really matters. I pray that God’s keeps them wise and grounded in his word as they grow up in this world full of lies.

Hi Allie Beth. Grannie Cyndy from South Australia here. So good that you addressed this subject biblically. It's been remiss of churches to make light of our sin even if it makes women feel better. Many comments here point to the need for healing for years afterwards. To my thinking, that shows us all that abortion is not the 'simple' solution young girls are taught it is. And I love you so much for pointing out that a baby dies horrifically every time. I no longer call those who support abortion 'pro choice'. The behaviour and words of people like Elizabeth Warren are not pro any choice other than abortion. She hates that there are clinics which actually look at alternatives for women. Keep up the good work Allie Beth and continue to speak the truth. God bless and protect you.

Thanks Allie for responding to this as it's so encouraging to hear truth spoken. I started watching their discussion earlier in the day and realized quickly how one sided it was and recognized how they were trying to justify their choice. They weren't admitting any wrong doing at all, and so hard for me listening to the ectopic pregnancy story as even those who are pro life recognize that situations like that are entirely different. Pro choice arguments (at least what I have witnessed) never acknowledge the horrors of late term abortion or even second trimester abortions where the babies are being sucked out limb by limb, the huge numbers of abortions taking place that have nothing to do with a mom's health, or the sad statistic you mentioned about more black babies being aborted than delivered in NY. Super sad stuff. Christians should be united on this issue. It's not about my truth or your truth, but as Christians, it's about God's truth. And it is humbling as I recognize so many times in my life where I justified my sin to make me feel better about my choices. Beyond grateful for God's forgiveness and how he can change our hearts and perspectives as we seek him more.

Removing an ectopic pregnancy is necessary and therefore not a choice

[@myrachtn3]

I'd love to see a state legislature sponsor a bill that says they will change the language around miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. Right now they are classified as spontaneous abortion, which is different of course from elective abortion, but I know a woman who had 5 miscarriages before she was finally able to bring a baby to term and every time she got the medical bill stating she'd had an abortion it was a slap in her face and salt in her wounds. If we want to talk about compassion, let's talk about the medical community making it clear that miscarriage and ectopic pregnancies are not the same. But then they would erase their own pro-choice talking points, so I doubt anyone will have the guts to do that.

[@Andrew-uh2er]

Might be smart to rename this podcast, “Comfortable Conversations with a Black Man”, where they find “pastors” who will join them in providing them comfort and assurance that their sin, even murder, isn’t all that bad because of “love”. The true gospel doesn’t negate absolute forgiveness through Jesus, yet it still condemns all sin as punishable by death. The only reason we come to Jesus for forgiveness is because we realize we are all condemned as sinners. Christians are not to diminish the severity of sin, but to make it what it really is and then point to the only One who can forgive such sin. Like Allie said, this was an absolute failure by Chelsea to share the gospel.

The timeline between identifying the ectopic pregnancy is suspicious to me as well. Mine was also in the fallopian tube. Before I even realized I was pregnant I was in such excruciating pain I could barely walk and emergency surgery was performed. Waiting two weeks for a doctor to decide what to do does not make sense. The pregnancy is not viable and is life-threatening to the mother. I had a salpingectomy where the ectopic pregnancy and the tube are both removed. Heartbreaking for me and my husband and never considered an abortion.

[@icantthinkofaname4537]

I had an eptopic but mine was in my ovary (super rare). I too had symptoms for a week and then ended up in the ER with extreme pain. I then had to get emergency surgery. I didn't even know I was pregnant. They told me I was probably only two weeks pregnant. I realize my experience was rare since it was my ovary and it ruptured so I never had a choice of how to treat it. It was surgery or death. But yes I didn't think you had several weeks to come up with a treatment plan

[@tammysimons8833]

God Bless you Allie! You definitely added some clarity. I pray for their hearts and souls to awaken to the light of the truth.

[@loisbeames7728]

Agree that Alli loves the truth and can show the hypocrisy of these people in such a kind but bold way. It is easy to speak with those who only agree but to speak truth is not always easy but God gives you strength when you do. Good job.

[@jepollock61]

Thank you ABS for telling Truth 💟

[@lizmurphy2734]

Amen. This was painful to watch but thank you for doing God's work and being bold enough to share the truth when other believers aren't. Love your podcast, I watch it everyday!

[@daneesledge1626]

These women sat and shared their stories. That was the point of the video. It was not to argue, therefore no rebuttal is needed. As a sister in Christ, I love that they were given an opportunity to tell their story. As a white sister in Christ, I am especially glad I got to hear the stories of those who don’t experience life like I do. I would challenge everyone to listen to their stories of why they had abortions with hearts to hear and love sisters as Christ, not to argue. Every time Jesus met people who were hurting and marginalized, he showed them love and compassion. He didn’t walk into situations looking for a fight. In American Christianity too often people want a fight to win. But that is not the example our Savior gave us. The fact this video exists grieves my heart.

[@jimlewis4765]

Dear, Danee, why did Jesus fight and argue with the Pharisees?

[@daneesledge1626]

@@jimlewis4765 comparing women who are humbly speaking their pain to the religious elite who thought they had God figured out and used the ancient scriptures as a weapon are two totally different things. When looking at the Bible, context matters. Audience matters. If these women had come and said that they are right and everyone who disagrees are sinners and God is on their side, then I could see comparing their actions to the Pharisees. But that is not what they did. They came and shared their brokenness and the nuances of why they had to make a hard decision. They did not try and force people to see things the way they do. These sisters in Christ were just inviting others to listen. And as a sister in Christ, my challenge for all believers is to listen to these women in love, not to fight.

[@nickt.7305]

Excellent rebuttal. You dissected the conversation in a thoughtful and loving manner. I respect that you were honest in your emotion and interpretation of the scriptures. I applaud you, Allie.

[@georgewagner7787]

Romans 6:1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?

[@georgewagner7787]

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? V 2

[@jessitabonita]

Amen! 🙌🏻

[@devinthunderstrike]

Gosh! Good job on this, Allie. This is a stellar video.

[@teeteefree5033]

So grateful you covered this video. I was enjoying Emmanuel Acho's "Uncomfortable Conversations" when he first started and I will admit I haven't watched him recently. Now I'm sad to see that he missed the mark entirely with this show. This was a hard video to watch because the lies are just so blatant.

[@calebmeyer5958]

Enjoyed the podcast and the format - so many good nuggets, especially your final response to Pastor Chelsea Smith.

[@joannbain9390]

Agreed we should grief for our decision . This Christian pastor failed terribly

[@jackieconnolly9950]

Totally demolished these arguments in a respectful and reasonable way. I admire your mind and your respectful speech toward those who are tragically and extremely deceived. Thank you for modeling this for me!

[@saphirarose5866]

Shared this video-you are spot on!

[@TheGoodFruitMelancholy]

At 52:45 that NEVER HAPPENED and I’d stake a LOT ON THIS. 24 years OB RN. Lies from the pit of hell.

[@mrsdiaz9793]

As I am listening I think to myself that the lady that was wanting to be an Olympian, her story could have been so different. What a story it would have been to say I won with my baby. She was already conditioned in her body so there would not have been any harm to her or the baby. And as far as "I Identify!" You either are or your not :( Sad case

[@patricklee5578]

Need to address the PTSD that happens to women after an abortion. Abortion is not birth control, Adoption is an option. Being a Christian does not negate harmones and poor choices; better understanding of use of birth control meaures is needed.

[@sharonfrederick5242]

"I" "I" "I" "I" "I" "I" "I" "I" "I" - when I listened to that interview that's what stood out most. Not even getting into the main topic and morality and Christ-ways. So with "I" as the main platform, Jesus and His Way will always be left out and unacceptable. The way of the world.

[@teeteefree5033]

Loved the format...it's easier to follow along and better digest the points being made on both sides - thank you!

[@kristyleavitt8007]

Allie, thank you SO much for this episode!!! You regularly inspire and challenge me to boldly and honestly speak the truth. You are amazing and I am so thankful for you ❤️ (PS- I love your CJLA top that you wore in this episode!)

[@TheAmmie29]

The Olympian..."I never thought I'd be in this situation" she should have realized it was a VERY REAL possiblity when she was having sex. 🙄

[@rebeccainspiringhope4357]

This! Unfortunately, denial does nothing to stop reality.

[@contextiscool7308]

Thank you for calling out these claims we keep hearing from the current post-modern culture and progressive “Christians.” I stand with you and thank you for the light you’re bringing to these subjects.

[@TheBrbonich]

This is hard to watch but thank you Allie for your voice and exposing of lies being fed to us and pointing us toward truth!

[@abrareads]

So if a man says abort or let's the mother make the choice he is terrible. This is an absolute no win situation for men.

[@rhynes1]

Allie thankyou so much for this show! I've been watching you for quite awhile and appreciate your perspective. So many reasons that people give for ending a human life. It seems very very simple when I hear their arguments. Less simple is when it threatens the mother's life. Save them BOTH whenever is possible!

[@j.daniel6516]

You are spot on Allie! Acho is on the left and his "conversations" only are geared toward one side.

[@ShawnParryUFOs]

Love you Allie, your the best!

[@lindagreen8445]

Thank you Allie Beth! Such good content here and, because God’s word is living and breathing, so much of what you said could be applied any time we approach the subject of sin with each other. I was so convicted and feel better equipped to reach out in love!

[@maurahomerski33]

This was a really really great rebuttal. Thank you for this.

[@terimierzejewska7216]

I watched the so called uncomfortable conversation and was disappointed. I am glad that you commented on it as that was necessary.

[@scrillion6]

Wow! The ectopic one is a straight up lie! I had an ectopic in 1985. Diagnosis without ultrasound well, we women died. I bled internally for three days and at the eleventh hour a doctor literally Dr. Good, diagnosed it and my life was saved!!

[@HM-wl1nu]

Thanks!

[@NanookFieryArcticSkyy]

You do a great job explaining moral issues at stake. Thank you and God bless you.

[@allofchristforalloflife8437]

Great job Ally, I had the same thought but you gave me more to think about. Thanks

[@bethanymeade5172]

Fire Allie, just plain and simple straight up fire all the way through 🙌🏻 coddling people in their sin is un-loving full stop.

[@-BekahJoy-]

Allie, I want to say a special thank you for expressing that the life of the mother and the baby are equally important and valuable because what I tend to hear makes it sound that the baby is more important than the mother and that has made it even more difficult for me to wrestle through the ectopic pregnancy issues. So thank you for explaining that

[@lynearchambault8745]

Very good info! Thank you, Allie!

[@groundedapproach]

You crushed it this episode as always!!
