Charlie Kirk Debates When Human Life Begins at Conception
Showing 4 Zygote videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Charlie Kirk debated pro-choice student Dean Withers over whether a zygote constitutes a human life, with Withers arguing that IUDs and Plan B, which can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting, would make their users murderers under Kirk's definition; Kirk responded that preventing implantation differs from terminating an already-established pregnancy. In a separate debate with a medical student, Kirk grounded his opposition to abortion in the idea that human beings possess an immaterial soul from the moment of conception, tracing the concept to what he called the ethical monotheism underlying America's founding documents. Other videos in this pool include a similar debate on personhood and consciousness, and an activist's campus tour making an abolitionist-style case against abortion.
