Favorite Quotes
05:43 - "Nowhere in this decision do they criminalize abortion. All they're saying is, 'look, Roe, got it wrong'. This is a state's issue and we're sending it back to the states. If the states want to make it legal, states can make it legal. If they want to make it illegal, they can make it illegal. That's up for the states to decide. That's not up for us to decide and Roe got it wrong." - Jim Larkin
10:30 - "Should people stop swearing on the Bible when they're sworn in, and should they swear on a copy of the constitution? They swear on a Bible and they violate their oath. Does it matter what piece of paper they're swearing on? - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
36:16 - "Pro-constitution does not mean pro-choice or pro-life. It means that no matter what your personal feelings or beliefs about abortion are, you understand that it's not the federal government's place to make a decision for another state about what they can and can't do with their legislatures." - Jim Larkin
