to meet and in your statement we can hold absolutely no weight in this statement while we have to address the issue what love was and we have come to a section there's a direct cost the ins issue of conception that's just there's conception and then there's preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case and then there's preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case was that these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes you did was that these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes you have the eggs and yes they have combined to create an embryo however without them being implanted have the egg and yes they have combined to create an embryo however without them being implanted into the body of the woman the mother the host who would provide that body with a look into the body of the woman the mother the host who would provide that body with a look at the embryo. with life with sustenance and that embryo would begin to develop

5:51 pm
increase investment give money to the poor and the working people if people live so they spend their incomes and. stimulates productions to be able to have to keep alive so they spend their incomes that stimulates production and stimulates investment that leads to job growth and job. investment that leads to job growth and so. if you're an ideologist for the masters you have a different line and in fact right now if you're an ideologist for the masters you have a different line and in fact right now it's almost absurd and corporations have money coming out of their pocket it's almost absurd and corporations have money coming out of their pocket. so in fact general electric are paying 0 taxes and have enormous. so in fact general electric are paying 0 taxes and have enormous profits let them take the profits somewhere else or defer it but not pay taxes and profit let them take the profit somewhere else or defer it but not pay taxes and this is.

6:20 pm
a history that's a very important decisions prim court decision but it has a history and you've got to think about the history. of 14th amendment has 3 and you got to think about the history. of 14th amendment has a provision that says no person's rights can be infringed without due a provision that says no person's rights can be infringed without due process of law. and the intent clearly was to protect process of law. and the intent clearly was to protect freed slaves said ok they have got the protection of the law i don't think freed slaves said ok they have got the protection of the law i don't think it's ever been used for freed slaves if ever marginally almost immediately it was ever been used for freed slaves if ever marginally almost immediately it was used for businesses corporations there are rights can't be
6:21 pm
