But what we're seeing is a Democrat Party that has gone so, so far to the left. I mean, I was on the floor of the House last year when Everyone but one Democrat voted to allow abortion up until the moment of birth. Previously, that had been unheard of in our country. We had never had that before. So, yeah, I've always grown up just believing that life is sacred and that we should do everything we can to preserve it and save it. (36:43–36:50)
