Now with our coverage from Charlotte, North Carolina and I'm confused and whatever -- -- that's not a good thing for the fact.

But I am very confused all I'm hearing this week ever where -- -- is that though women American women.

They're right -- shoes.

Is being threat.

Don't know what that means to choose -- Let's bring in Megyn Kelly who's.

Who's.

Most.

Whose -- find is the word I'm looking for whose fondness.

And fitting that she -- all we can set me straight.

Set me straight Kelly all right what.

Right to choose what whose threat.

Meaning it golf.

They're talking about reproductive rights that a woman's right to choose what she wants for her own body they view that as including the right to -- abortion.

Without government interference the right to.

Access to contraception that's the term they use that they're talking about -- -- so let me -- free access.

Let me stop the Supreme Court is said abortion is legal in the United States pretty.

Boy that's what they say politicians can't override that number one.

Number two.

Every pharmacy.

Planned Parenthood is everywhere and birth control it's not expensive.

It's available if you're over eighteen to everybody.

OK so it's true that politicians can override you know Roe vs.

-- -- -- admits -- -- -- for the Supreme Court FISA legislation.

He's only talking about that nobody is talking about it it's not in play all right so the Supreme Court instead.

Law of the land.

Birth control -- devices of all kind including the morning after pill legal everywhere relatively inexpensive.

What what's -- I don't understand what's threat.

Look there -- two I -- -- -- the to the issue of abortion Derek Derek you know obviously two camps of the country and then there's.

The pro life camp at the pro choice skip the pro lifers don't like Roe vs.

Wade they don't like abortion on demand most of them want to see abortion illegal.

Most of them say a couple of exceptions might be acceptable obviously save the life -- the mother.

Rape and incest.

But -- there's another faction of of that group that says if we can't have that.

We want more limitations.

On abortions if we can't get you know.

More ministers Caroline Kennedy was as -- -- over exam roll the requiring women who want to undergo abortion to.

Submit to an ultrasound where they are shown.

The beating heart of the baby I mean that would you know which is a deterrent obviously to -- to abortion any argument is well you made the decision to have unprotected sex or careless sex or whatever it was -- what I don't know is it that you made that choice.

And so you should be it's so it's not that it's not forcing you did not have any consequences for behavior.

If that's all we want -- to be -- haven't -- the other side says that's outrageous that's government interfering in my relationship with my doctor and I shouldn't have the government telling me what I need to do before I choose to have the procedure so that is legal right now the country.

So the would do so their right to choose without anybody saying anything.

Unfettered abortion and often till ten minutes before the birth.

As god doctor tiller was doing out in Kansas everything's fine OK now well the official party platform here is even in favor of these so called partial birth abortion -- -- -- -- -- Look at the what do they want and I deserve a convention.

One of this.

Rises of his convention I've been at -- RL -- were in Tampa all last week event now in Charlotte all this week is is.

How far to the left the democratic platform has been presented not just on paper the platform that they've written.

-- presented by the speakers here -- if this is clearly not -- connected it's meant to reach out to the moderates this is a convention that is meant to reach out to the base and that's why we saw Sandra Fluke.

Given up trying time 10 PM not speaking engagement I know.

-- only the Fort -- didn't know what -- throw it yeah well what I agree with you.

But but here's where I depart from you a little bit I don't see any women's rights under assault at all.

I don't see it if you want to have seven children out of wedlock.

Nobody's gonna stop you exactly governmental pay for OK if you want any kind of birth control device you can get it you go to Planned Parenthood does give it.

They don't but -- ebitda does you disagree with me because I am not taking a position -- this issue or in this segment I'm just telling you with the arguments are but what they are arguing that Democrats here is that.

The Republicans.

Do want to -- women's rights for example they believe that the Obama care for contraception mandate that requires coverage of contraception so that.

Women don't have to pay for it themselves that -- a women's rights issue and they believe that the majority of it myself that -- right.

They have made it such but.

Choosing.

What you want to do with your life.

It's just not there's it's not -- there isn't any restriction all they want more stuff more abortion.

That's what they want all right I gotta take a break.
