Dr. Phil Audience Joins Debate on Abortion

In June 2022, the United States Supreme Court stripped away constitutional protections for abortion that had stood for nearly a half-century. Pro-life supporters cheered on the ruling, while pro-choice supporters pledged to fight it. Now, in a post-Roe America, women are caught at the center of legal confusion because of these often-vague state laws. Nancy Davis says she was about 10 weeks pregnant when the fetus she was carrying was diagnosed with acrania, a fatal condition where the fetus’ skull does not form inside the womb. She claims she tried to have an abortion, but doctors denied her, because in her home state of Louisiana, abortions are banned. In an exclusive interview with Dr. Phil, Nancy and her partner, Shedric, reveal what she had to do to get a legal abortion. Nancy’s story is at the center of one of the decade's most controversial and heated debates: abortion. Today, hear from both pro-choice and pro-life advocates. (21021)

They don't even let her speak, it's like 40 vs 1 and then they cut away the part where she responds. What a bad joke

[blue_akira]

Why is it dr phil and audience VS one woman. This is a completely ridiculous conversation.

[willcd]

"The child is not born yet, it's not there." That is the level of intelligence we're dealing with here.

[jonatassantos]

So sad how these people are so senseless. It's a life. She was in the middle of hungry hyenas and maintained her composure.

[SafinaForJesus]

I hate it when they wont let her talk. she is so smart and calm they don't wanna hear her speak or else they would lose.

[amsx]

This “debate” is such a joke. They barely even let her speak or respond the whole time. Even dr Phil talks over her but got so offended when she talked over him. Maybe she was doing that cause you barely let her speak. Go Lila Rose!

[muneirovalibas]

Complaining "she talked over me" doesnt invalidate her point, Dr Phil. You got served. You had a chance to answer her but didnt.

[jackielortz]

A 10 year old rape victim should not be forced to carry. I don't care.

[davidyepez]

Dr.Phil’s audience is so toxic gosh but kudos for lila for entering the lions pit she did a great job 👏🏻

[firedmotion]

Great job Lila.Dont stop the fight. What needs to change is the system needs to change. It shouldnt cost an arm and a leg to adopt a child. As long as there is a proper check to see if the parents are fit, that should be what is needed. There shouldn't be long waiting lists of couples waiting for a child.Then children get homes and people who can't have kids become parents.

[sandrellsnaturalworld]

This is a Crazy world we live in. Imagine being viewed as evil simply because you tell the world, "Don't kill your baby." 🥴

[willr]

With issues like this, stop using insane outliers to justify your argument or points. Ask yourself what is the most common. And if that doesnt work for your agenda then you might be on the wrong side of the argument.

[deesmily]

Big mouth in the audience takes her time speaking but then won't shut her trap long enough for her comment to be addressed. Dr. Phil, stacking the audience against the pro-lifer as usual.

[OdiiAriwodo]

Probably why I never watch Dr. Phil until I hear about guests like Lila who make me curious about why they would bother to sit with people who have no interest in right and wrong and only want to be applauded for all the evil things they want to do without feeling bad.

[crystalvillalobos]

So sad how she was treated.
Dr Phil can’t stand hearing the

[j.t.]

That woman in the audience has such hatred in her eyes

[burtonsnow]

Dr. Phil: I get nervous when government gets into peoples personal Lives 🥺

Also Dr. Phil: *Supports government mandates for experimental vaccines 😤

[yippyskippy]

100 or so people vs Lila and Lila debunks them all with calm and loving compassion. Thank you Lila. The unborn could not ask for a better voice in their absence!

[mmmuta]

Look at the calmness, grace, and compassion in the eyes and voice of Lila. Then compare it to the rabid aggressive demeanor of her opponent!
That alone is enough to show who truly has good intentions.

Against Abortion? Don't have one!
