I wanted to ask about IVF and specifically how we should go about resolving that.

The fundamental question is when does life begin?

Thank you so much.

I'm thrilled to be here, both for Catholic University and the interesting times that we're in.

Well, because I didn't have my driver's license, it was a group of other 15 year olds, maybe some 16 year olds in my parents' living room, fellow students.

And we were determined to just make a difference of some kind about abortion because I became very convicted that this was the human rights issue of our day.

And I had found this book in my parents' home, which had basically the history since Roe v. Wade and before that of abortion in America.

It had images of fetal development, and it also had images of abortion victims.

And I was just very compelled that I needed to do something about the issue because I had never heard it talked about in my church growing up.

I was raised evangelical.

I rarely heard it talked about anywhere else.

My parents were pro-life, but they were not activists.

San Jose, California.

Okay.

So early Silicon Valley days, my dad was in software programming and we were very much just, you know, in some ways a normal family, in other ways not.

I'm one of eight kids, so we were pro-life.

They were living the pro-life conviction very beautifully by having so many kids.

But all that to say, I thought, okay, there's 3,000 abortions a day.

This has been legal since before I was born.

I find out there's a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic committing abortions up to 24 weeks.
