0:00 [Music] right before we were going to start filming we got that notice this morning that roe v wade was officially overturned by the supreme court wow so for those of for those i'm speaking for the people that stopped at a second grade education what does that mean and what are the implications of that so pretty much i think that i believe that um abortion as in terms of it's like federal protection has just been overturned so now the uh the i guess the laws abortion laws are now being handed back to the states which means that some states are probably going to ban abortion you know what i mean meaning that women in those areas will have to um obviously carry on with having children regardless of circumstance yeah whether they be things like rape or whatever um or they uh will go back to a time
0:52 where you know people are illegally seeking out how to like get rid of like unwanted you know circumstances like that i think mostly democratic states will kind of like have be in the same pocket they'll still be able to make the decision to like legalize abortion for women and stuff like that but federally they're like i don't want to deal with this you guys deal i guess for someone who doesn't understand is that bad is that a step forward for people that want abortion to be legal is that a step backwards if they put it back in the hands of the state i think for women it's definitely a step back where they're not in control or the women in the bible belt states that will make it illegal to have an abortion they'll probably suffer the most from this yeah but i don't know it's um because there are stats about how whether it's legal or not the people that want to do it will do it and then they'll start doing
1:42 it in ways that are like unsafe bad like the coat hanger method or some ████ up ████ there's always going to be the worst alternative before when the abortion was uh not legal and like done in clinics and stuff they were doing them in ████ like like vets were doing it in garages and ████ you know so like how come no one had the idea to make the states look like a checkerboard where it's red and blue so if you need to like do certain things like get the ████ out of this one skip over here and then skip back you know like if you want to do this then you go over here like you know what you got king me and all of a sudden your chicken go wherever the ████ it wants it just looks like canada versus mexico just check this game there is i saw a map like that of which states will probably oh like like make it illegal and which states would like just keep it the way it is now and then we'll still have the same
2:33 clinics and all that and it's mainly all the uh west coast states so it's california that's all legal abortion's legal they'll keep this wise yeah hawaii all the all the from washington all the way down including nevada and then like but when you go like to idaho classic america yeah more middle all the way down to texas and then but some of them actually that i thought were gonna be like super red were act were in the middle oh yeah so does it does it kind of align almost perfectly with like liberal and conservative yeah so then it's very clear like which ones are my body my choice and which ones what's crazy is like growing up you know how like as you evolve as a human being your thoughts and opinions and positions on things also change i think since i was a kid and i heard about abortion i've always had the same like feelings about it since i was
3:24 uh i don't know maybe like 11 or 12 until now because i think the most extreme circumstance i always think about is people that were raped they have to keep it right even if it's in sexual rape they have to keep it up and i'm like why or um i also know it takes a whole community a bunch of tax dollars to raise a kid so if someone accidentally who wasn't ready for it like you know uh when i when i was in junior high there's like two girls that are 13 that have kids i'm pretty sure those kids are in the right environment to be model citizens i'm like why would it who are the people that are a hundred percent against it and and why yeah so that i could have the argument that i hear from people that are against it are they typically are like in the super conservative christian states sounds like morality issues it's for them it's
4:14 a it's an issue of like everyone has a chance because they're god's children and we should give them that chance and not condemn them and and they they feel that it's murder right so if you grow up in that you're almost doing god's work you're protecting god's like because it's not this other person's kid it's actually like a living being that's a part of god right so it's like you have to protect them too because you have to give them a fighting chance even if they grew up in a s█████ circumstance even if they're a result of ancestral rape it's like that's yeah it's life is life right god's plan life is life whatever so so yeah but then i think yeah you know the more uh uh atheist point of view is more like that's a pretty high probability where you're actually like you know doing more
5:04 damage more damage by letting them live and maybe they might live a a life of suffering obviously we can't guarantee that we just don't know what the future is also impacting the the the mother who gives birth you know what i mean yeah it's like um chances are well i'm not gonna ████ speak on statistics but like let's let's just say like a young girl in that situation wants to get an abortion but can't anymore you know with the morality of like making sure that god's children her life goes on but then now this girls maybe dreams or ambitions or lifestyle or anything like that are completely different yeah it's changed and it's obviously focused on motherhood and like you know what i'm saying so it's it's a very uh very very difficult case-by-case concept but yeah because it's you can't make a blanket rule for something that is so circumstantial because you can think about it as like okay well some people
5:54 will say i'm against abortion in the form of used as a form of contraception like some people will will you know maybe they'll have unprotected sex throughout their youth and just like party all the time and then they'll just be like oh easy i'll just go get ████ you know abortion or whatever um but i mean like but also you can argue the other fact where there are there is uh uh in the in the book for economics where they found out like the reason for the crime rates decline was when abortion became legal and unwanted pregnancies from young mothers from young single mothers in lower income areas didn't exist so then they didn't grow and raise children that ended up joining gangs and all this stuff that could support either too right yeah and then and so maybe these women were able to
6:45 further their education and get out of the ghetto or whatever they needed to and then change their situation and then maybe they started a family or whatever but the statistics are there for the i guess that that of that like working out in whether it was the 70s or 80s or something like that so then like it's really hard because like some of these studies too it takes decades to figure out what were the positive effects that came from certain situations and people are just arguing a lot based on their imagination of like what is this yeah and then and then also people are arguing based off of when is life like is it at contraception because then when are you killing is it you know at how many weeks and then that's why there's rules from different countries different states of
7:35 like it has to be under like 20 weeks or like whatever it may be or something yeah yeah yeah yeah and then there's just all these different gray areas it's yeah it's so it's so different you know the morality uh thing is kind of interesting too because like growing up in the amethyst religion for example it is a blanket opinion you're supposed to have like it's unthinkable to even be in a religion and then have an opinion on abortion it's like no obviously we all don't believe that this is the right way yeah it's like there's a right way to look at it so you're not going to get varying opinions from little ryan ever go but what if and then you give a circumstance or no well that's that's why i think it's interesting is that in in that religion we're all supposed to not even think about it but and we hella sda people have had abortions yeah like they're just being quieter about it yeah so then that's
8:26 where the double standard lies it's like yeah you're gonna outwardly say like no that's wrong don't do it but it's like given the specific situation you might wish you you can't judge other people in those situations we can't even imagine the idea of incestual rape like when you grow up in a sheltered christian community that concept is so ████ dark and weird that like if you look at statistically right like most uh rape and molestation happens from family members and all these things and pregnancies unwanted um not the majority of abortions come from that but that even concept is hard to fathom when you grow up in a very controlled christian community so then maybe you know the people that are making these uh statements and voting a certain way or whatever if i if we stuck to the
9:16 church i'm pretty sure i wouldn't even consider that fact i would i would just be like yeah it's wrong yeah and i vote against it we should save all life get exposed to the creepy uncle or whatever you don't think in those terms so you don't know that that kind of stuff exists you just think cute lives matter and that's it also if you uh if you were to accept and believe in the ideology of like the governing body and like democracy i i can see and i'm not saying i fully agree with this at all but i can see like the court's opinion or overturning this being like we're putting the power back into the hands of the people and their elected officials in their own spaces you know what i'm saying because it's like you know the age old like well you put those leaders in place in your state the state has the power to make you elected them or if you don't want to be in that state because you don't follow those things
10:07 and like there are other states that have different you know what i mean the place you decided to live exactly i can see how there's an idealism to the concept of it but you obviously nothing's that simple right yeah i think there's two arguments to it right because like there's one where it's like you do have the freedom to move and even poor people move like you could grab a greyhound bus and just like uproot and bounce people move all the time for like jobs you know like poor people during the great depression they'll be like oh there's jobs ████ they're building the the the the hoover dam let's go there you know my dad came here in a container your dad swam to hong kong literally right yeah but damn really yeah ████ a chinese takeout box i don't know how you came here either one though either one the other one or a pelican case a wish a wish order with a camera the pelican case is a little bit of an upgrade i gotta admit because they got the phone
10:57 it looks great in here like a human-sized pelican yeah what the ████ how'd your dad get here amazon prime that food came in a ████ rum barrel dude [Laughter] with one layer of fish at the top so there's i mean so there's the the freedom of like movement right yeah you can go everyone can vote but like realistically pop like majority of people don't right like that's why people like wherever like if your parents are middle class or poor or whatever or rich you stay that class so like you probably are gonna stay in your neighborhood if that's where your family is or whatever so like let's say you grew up in these bible belt areas you're lower income you don't even have the option to like have a road trip to go across state to do these things now you gotta you're kind of like maybe you gotta do garage abortions or whatever and that's
11:48 where the federal laws protected the uh i guess the people that that didn't have the choice of movement and just acknowledge the little elephant in the room i apparently there's only dudes here i'm married nice i know i know a lot about that i think that is the important thing to acknowledge though because like even with all guys like all of us all of us were birthed from mothers all of us have like you know significant other spouses i woke up this morning my sister-in-law staying uh over at our spot and the first thing that came out of her mouth she's like i'm ████ pissed right when i thought i was a good morning i'm ████ pissed bro she's so ungrateful that you housed her just complaining your house uh maybe ridiculous but you know what i mean so it's just like even people in proxy or we're obviously in the dance community in the dance community like 99 people are more on the liberal side for i think and even that dudes are more feminine too some yes um but i think the
12:39 point is uh you know what i mean it's like it affects your community it affects the people it affects us in different ways and obviously we we support and take the position of our loved ones you know what i mean so i think that this is a very very still like um impactful type of situation even for men because uh you have relationships with women it's gonna pack them you know did you guys ever have that talk like um when you're just like dating around or whatever just from with uh your partners or like had scares about like oh ████ yeah this might have to happen right yeah we were like every single one of my girlfriends we had like team abortion if it happened yeah yeah we never like had to do one but it was like if ████ ever like you know you always brainstorming in emergencies or whatever it's like every single one of my girlfriends was i mean the closest i got was like you know plan b like oh ████ i busted like oh ████ i
13:29 gotta go get this ████ tomorrow um but then i've had that conversation and i think early on like let's say from like high school maybe even into college right um i was actually okay to being a dad because i didn't know what it took to be a dad so you know you're like extra confident when you don't ████ know ████ right and you're ready to be a father at 17 years old because you just think man i sell drugs i make more than all my friends and ████ you know you ████ stupid i make 400 every time i go out and sell um so i i was just like i could take care of babies and ████ right and then so like i was like yeah ████ like i got little cousins i thought i was being the man by going man if you have a cow ████ i'll take care of it and then i was like but it's your choice because i was like ultimately whatever you want to do you know it's your body
14:19 like whatever you want to do um if you want to have the kid ████ it i i decided to bust whatever uh but then at the older i got it actually changed so i would say like in my mid-20s and on i would just be like oh please like we're not ready for this because i was thinking about can we afford this commitment and do we have the time to do this and we have dreams we want to pursue and i just started thinking more about like the future and i saw a kid as a burden at in my in my mid to late 20s and then i was like damn i'mma start wearing condoms now all the time but i mean those decisions are still stupid whether you're 16 or 25 those decisions were both still ████ stupid because there's no prediction of the future there are people that became extremely successful
15:09 when they had kids at an early age there are people that you know i mean are complete losers with no kids right so like i don't know those are all just like them it's all based on imagination there's no guarantees circumstances for sure maybe there's just this broader ideology that uh you know all of us are like first generation asian too like our parents came here and there's this concept of like the land of freedom and stuff like that so um in a lot of other countries we get that abortion is illegal it's not a conversation you can't do it blah blah and maybe uh there's some sort of like hope that uh in a land of the free things could be free i know that it comes with it's a double edged sword there's also issues with that but maybe if there was like a space people could have like america kind of was that beacon for a lot of reasons that's the whole point of it man yeah and so you think if roe v wade was overturned that was a 50 year ago decision every all of us none of us are 50 years
15:59 old so we've never known a life without an option like that nor have our significant stuff so it's it's way more of like like you said like it takes a long time to understand the ramifications of something and we are just in the generation where we're finally for the first time women our age are like i can't do this yeah i was born into this you know that's true it feels like we're taking a step back yeah i wonder if it's just gonna keep repeating itself probably yeah it could be oh that's true because this is something that people are probably gonna always have really strong opinions about yeah always and generation also wonder you know it's is religion the real main reason why this happens or is religion being used i think so because if you think about like western europe i don't even think they have this discussion in the way that we do america is still a very christian state
16:49 like we like to talk about how you know oh we shouldn't have separation i mean we should separate church and state right but we still pray yeah in our politics like there would never be a non-christian president we're not ready for that yet in god we trust the place you're handling our christians like yeah yeah because i mean like in the uk it's way more atheist like they have a church and stuff but like no one's talking about god all the time or like even you know a lot of european countries except for the eastern europeans so i always wonder you know if it really is truthfully the religion or if it's a kind of a tool yeah yeah yeah being kind of used because we've seen both it's easy way to keep like that sentiment in people's brains you know and it's like being
17:39 reinforced through community and religion at the same time it's also cherry picking what people should be guilty about 100 the weirdest thing is like in every uh christian uh religion it's like there's no one without sin so but then people are just like no being gay is way worse yeah but i also i also think america is massive right and we have so much diversity and culture and we're all trying to make one rule for like imagine having a country where you have you can't have it's difficult dude it's like how are you gonna have like what do you call the the muslim law the one sharia law sharia law try to combine sharia law with like atheist straight up western ideology and then you have conservative christian and you have like all these things put together it's like
18:29 dude what i mean america doesn't have shield law but it's that that difficult how you gonna put it all together yeah that's ████ i don't know diversity might not work it's also a naturally occurring thing that like i mean this has nothing to do with like roe v wade but like it's a naturally occurring thing that the better things get like let's say everything became totally serene the next generation gonna pop up and complain about everything yeah definitely there's no perfections there's no perfection [Music] you
