The American dream is a given. It's there. What I don't like hearing from my politicians is it's over. The American dream's over. I said, well... How did we get to that place? Why would you want to lower our expectations that much that you're now saying to me, well, we can't give you that, but what we can give you is we can make sure that somebody else's dream is smaller. I don't care for that.
When I was 18, uh, I just didn't think I had any rights. I didn't think I had any right to say anything. And that's concurrent with a lot of the way people think a lot today. But if two people are involved in creating a child, then I think maybe two people should be involved in whether or not they're going to make that choice to take the life, to end it.
or to embrace it and say, okay, we're gonna do this, we made this together. I think all things, the most important thing about connecting sexually with someone is to understand that you have consequences. that you can either avoid or not avoid, but you need to know going in that you're making a decision that might actually have life-changing consequences. And I think we should tease her.
There was a great special on years ago that I saw. It was a documentary about Three boys were set in a room and they played recordings of the same thing that eight girls were seeing. And they just listened to them. And the question was, who's the most attractive girl? And the three boys identified almost all. And there were, I think, two girls that were the most attractive girls to them.
Those two girls were ovulating. No one could quite figure that out. But that's a very powerful thing about life and the way this whole thing was designed. So a girl who was ready to be impregnated was, to them, sounded like the most attractive person.
That's a power that a young man needs to be advised about to understand that you are in the dance as this energy that's responding to the imperative to procreate. That's saying you want to procreate. If you don't want to... Do not have sex. Now, we've gone against that. We've gone against that a lot in terms of, you know, the society as we've played it out these days. Kids should have sex.
You go out and have it. But there's a consequence there. And so I just think we should teach our boys that, well, maybe you should be responsible about it. You know, we don't. But it has changed a bit. Now it's, well, you can always just go take care of it.
after the fact rather than be a gentleman before the fact, which is either you don't do certain things, you experiment with other things, you put on a condom, you behave like a gentleman, and you don't put yourself in that position. A lot of people don't seem to think that's worth teaching anymore, and I don't know why. Look, you know, everybody's entitled to their way of thinking about it.
But I just think, why would you make a series of choices that has to end that way when you know you can actually make better choices? I guess my advice would be to make better choices. You know, I mean, who wants to have to have that on their head? Who actually goes through life thinking, oh, that's what I want to do?
Yeah, I wrote about it.
Yeah, no, I wrote about it. I mean, I'm sitting there and it came from Karen. We were sitting there and I was writing about being in Gordon's hospital room. And then Karen came and said, you have to take care of something. You need to clean something up, purge something. She said, leave us together with Gordon for now and go back to New York with Jill.
It's all in there.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's been on my mind. It's been on my heart. It's been on my heart for a long time. Yeah.
It is my hope that when people read what I've written and exposed and uncovered about my own life, I wanted to actually... comfort any woman, any mother who's lost a child, anyone who's lost a child. Everybody that's been through what we're talking about here has experienced a loss.
Whether or not they want to acknowledge it or fight it or they're angry about it or angry that someone would say, you know, I don't look down my nose at anybody that's had an abortion. I don't. I feel sad about it for people. Where before I used to think, well, yeah, of course you have the right to do whatever you want to do with your body. I do believe that.
The consequences of another body being stopped from living is always, you know, consequence, war, warfare, abortion. They all ask the same question. Did I do the right thing? And I think a lot of people struggle with it, and my heart goes out to them. I mean, this is not a condemnation book either. It's not a grief book. It's also not a condemnation book. We are left with it sometimes.
We wrestle with it as a society. And I wouldn't give us much of a chance at all if we weren't wrestling with it. I haven't talked about this. The moment I went with Jill, this is some time ago, of course. There were four guys sitting in there. And nobody was happy. No guy was happy there.
And then one of the girls came out who had just finished her procedure, and she sort of hopped out and said, well, that's taken care of. And it was just, there was like a collective moment of what seemed like deep sadness between these four young men. who were on a journey that they didn't mean to be on. Nobody feels good about ending a life. I don't think they do. That's where I come from.
The consequence of, you know, what we do to ourselves, what we haunt ourselves with these ideas that maybe all my action took my sister's life. That was horrible. I did go through that for a while. And I dismissed it. You know, because like I said in the book, I said, God doesn't do it tit for tat that way. It doesn't actually work that way. Only man would think of that.
