There's a separation of state and church for a reason
UA-cam Moderator no, women can get abortions, not kill babies
UA-cam Moderator I believe you mean fetus. You should really correct that.
ayebrahletsksate do you call eggs chicken? Or do you think there is a difference between a chicken and an egg?
@@get_downed_boi6270 things are different for a reason. Im tired of people lumping different things under umbrella terms, you guys cause nothing but confusion
UA-cam Moderator There are mentions of God approved abortions all throughout the Bible.
It's absolutely idiotic that someone would call on religious freedom in order to walk all over somebody else's rights
@UA-cam Moderator Do not use your UA-cam moderator account to share your right wing point of view. If you wanna be a right winger, speak from a different account.
@@markpinestone.2050 UA-cam troll is more like it.
Sorry to break it to you morns but killing your own baby has, and never will be a right. Soon, it will be a crime and I will be delighted to see and hear you all cry because you can no longer legally support the death of millions of unborn babies. You people are sick.
@@SheepdogColumbus If you hate safe abortions so much, why won't you move to a country where it is illegal?
I heard that in Saudi Arabia it's really nice.
@@Pravdacz-tp8zu 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
they are scared of sharia law but impose the same type of beliefs, the religion is different but the values are same
In which country sharia law is implemented on another faith believers?
@@stealth9176 Anjali is referring to the US which is where Rep. Omar is living and was standing to address us American women...and you surely must know that Jishad.
Agreed!!!
They don’t have a problem with theocracy they just hate brown people
@@maryrodger5130 I think the point that Jishad was trying to make is that even in countries with Sharia law, that law is not imposed upon non Muslims.
Whereas in America, these laws are applied to women of all religions and no religion.
I'm not for one moment saying that non Muslims are treated wonderfully in majority Muslim nations.
I just don’t see why these conservatives keep bringing religion into politics even thoe it’s supposed to be a separation from church and state. It’s so stupid and tiring.
OMG I have had this debate with these people and they believe this is a Christian Nation and they should be running the country under God's law.
FlowerClown that’s crazy lmfao that’s beats the whole point of a democratic society. It’s so sad people still have to learn that America is a melting pot of all cultures and we all fall under one flag. No matter what race you are or nationality. At the end of the day we protect our brothers and sisters because it the right thing to do. Not because god said so lol
Ilhan is a Demonrat. Not conservative
Mrs. O. I know she’s a Democrat didn’t say she wasn’t. I’m talking about the religious conservatives. Pushing there ideology on a whole dam state. I’m agreeing with her
@@joshuatorres1150 who are you spesking of?? Who is the religious conservative? What did this person say?
I love how as women we continue to have to fight for equality in this county. Now were fighting for the right's to our own bodies all over again and yet we dont have any laws for instance forcing a man to have a vasectomy if he keeps producing children he won't take care of. If you have the right to tell me what to do with my body then I should have equal right to do the same.
How appalling. Women actually march for their "rights" to kill their own babies. Why would I ever date someone like that? If a woman is willing to kill her own baby, how do you think she would treat her husband. Men stay away from these women at all costs.
@@Batman-jc5uc You are so wrong on so many different levels and good luck finding a woman that is perfect.
@@kimsears4323 I already found her. She agrees with me. Been happily married for nearly two years.
@kim Sears do you have children ?
@@Batman-jc5uc well it's a fetus not a baby so you're wrong.
There's another label that clearly define American Religious Fundamentalists.

Y'all Qaeda and Talibama
True
Tyee Childress it’s a reference to a show...
I believe the correct answer is Conservative
LanceOllyFre There is sane conservative, & insane conservative. Anyone messing with my female rights, human rights, right to free speech & all of my other rights women have fought for all of our lives, is in the wrong, & should not be backed up by any government, much less any male.
Seeing AOC, Ilhan Omar & Bernie Sanders made me believe that USA can bounce back after orange clown tragedy.
The three dumbest politicians in the country lol!
Lol. You're funny.

You know she’s an American... in congress...
Right?
@Charlotte Katakuri you're so right!
@@shaday1490 How's is it false? I've lived in a Muslim country - have you? The Qur'an says Allah is the great deceiver.
We need women like her to keep going!
And less men like trump
no baby ever insisted for the mother to open her legs, try making a choice before you get nocked up
@UA-cam Moderator by black mother it's their choice
Yes, less men like Trump, after all, who likes lower taxes, higher wages, more jobs, better economy, more secure borders, lower unemployment, etc. etc. what horrible, horrible things his presidency has brought this country.
N Geri men who shut down the goverment yeah right
That awkward moment when Republicans are suddenly more religiously fanatical than Muslim Somali refugee.
She is exactly right an it's sad that women doesn't have the equal rights that men seem to have an the trumpdumblican party want to take what rights a woman has left
She's a third world piece of trash
@William Smith incel
How do females not have equal rights in America
Can you list a single right that a man has that a woman does not? A single one? You cannot, because there are none to list, although I can name one right that a woman has than a man does not, a woman has the right to register to vote without being subject to military drafting. Tell me again how woman's rights are being removed.
@William Smith darling it's the other way around. How do u think Brett Kavanaugh become a Supreme Court Justice????
I agree! Glad there is someone speaking it.
GLAD has been behind a lot of harmful agendas
Thank you for your articulate words and dedication to womens rights. 💙
Yeah! That is why she has to maintain her head covered!! She is free, big joke! Dare to uncover yourself if you can!!!
@Fran Inator It’s her choice...get it?
No, I have known enough Muslim women to know it is not a choice!
@Fran Inator Tlaib is also Muslim. She chooses not to.
You are welcomed
Irony is that it is the very thing they accuse her of: trying to push her "religious beliefs" on America
Exactly! She's a Muslim but keeps her own beliefs to herself and doesn't force it on other people. She's a true American!

No you should be shamed of your existence for supporting her
She’s worthless

@colonel 100 dont feed the troll and it'll find somewhere else to dwell
Brave young but very wise woman.
@UA-cam CensorshipDept - hmmm maybe you need to examine your natural bias?
Brave enough to be openly hateful towards the Jewish people of Israel and have her party basically champion her for disrespecting the people who died on 9/11. That's just the type of person you should stand behind.
@@DasKrug - maybe you should go back and fact check all the garbage being spewed by the Reich wing shills and listen to what she said. She's not anti-Semitic. Not at all.

Amen to her every word!!!!
She's absolutely right.. These RELIGIOUS Evangelicals are telling EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY PERSON, no matter your faith, no matter if YOU believe in God or not, I do so what I say and believe is all that matters.. You're WRONG because you don't believe what I do and it's my belief so I'm taking away YOUR RIGHTS because I know what's best for YOU even though I don't know you... That really should outrage EVERYONE!!

Wtf are you one about?
In most stated you can’t even abort it at 5 months. And when you do it’s for health reasons.
Wish every member of congress stood up for what they believe to be right like her, as opposed to standing up for what they are paid to stand up for... The treatment of Rep. Omar by both republicans and the media has been literally sickening to behold and all involved should be ashamed honestly. Seeing Mike Pence call her a "security risk" that should be removed from her committee assignments was disgusting.

Khalilah Goodman Kerry is not Somali though but I can see it
These young women are so refreshing and on point.
so true! makes me hopeful :)
Religion shouldn't play a role in politics, be it Christian or Muslim
That's what she is saying
Ilhan is such an inspiration!
She needs, no MUST redefine and articulate the issue not as being about “choice,” but rather BODY SOVEREIGNTY.
This.
Hear, Hear!
You can't have sovereignty without choice. Sovereignty is freedom of choice.
If even dead people can't just have their organs taken out without their living consent, it's a shame that women can't have access to the same
She is right
Thank you. You speak of woman's rights and of how Christians are trying to make a theocracy here.
I'm biologically female, LGBT, and I'm Athiest. I triple feel the encroachment of Christianity on our human rights.
Thank you for speaking on your behalf and mine.
I honestly just don't want babies to die. That is what is happening. Babies are dying and mothers are left hurting.
Most things happening in Texas right now outrage me. I'd suggest moving out of Texas, but they want to control the other states, too!
The right to do anything with one’s body is each individual’s own personal decision - man or woman. That should be self evident and the truth of the world.
That said, the challenge then is how do we move forward as humanity treating our creations as prized and precious?
As we reach for the stars and come to understand that life, our specific form of life, out of the billions of forms of life that exist in the universe, is so unique. How will we transcend this chapter in such a way as to keep our species alive, full of hope, acceptance and truth?
I surely don’t have the answers. I am only one person - a man. I just ponder our future with great concern for all of humanity.
Perhaps someone wise with clarity of thought will have the answer one day that will bring peace to such a tumultuous time in human evolution.
Respectfully.....

I'm looking at this situation from Europe and it is crazy to see. As such violations of human rights are unthinkable in most parts here. American wommen Europes gates will probably be open if this gets worse and you need asylum...atleast I hope they will be.
Don't make the same mistake we did and think that 'it won't happen here'. We thought we had secured our rights forty years ago. Now this. Never let your guard down. Never stop fighting... because the other side will take every possible advantage they can. Complacency will kill you.
Tell it how it is!!!!!!!
Omar, AOC, Harris and Porter; these great women are coming to change the world. I can not wait.
For the worse....
Harris ain’t it
the longer this continues, the closer we get to Gilead level control. And thats scary.
You say true, I say thankee sai."
This is exactly why atheism is the fastest growing belief in the country.
It is criminal behavior. You’re killing someone.
Here's a thought for you: I have a medical condition that means pregnancy could kill me. Though I use birth control, it is possible that I can get pregnant. Do you think my life has less value than that of a child? Or, to be more precise, a collection of cells incapable of independent life but that is perfectly capable of taking mine?
Or, to be more precise, are you pro-life or just pro-birth?
And this is why true progressives fight and do not compromise or surrender your convictions. Power to the progressives!
Wow she hit the nail on the head 👏👏👏👏👏
The babys head. And killed it
Who needs the taliban to enforce Sharia Law when u got the American Right
BRILLIANT
This woman and Politician is a GIANT.
giant pile of.........
Thank you Omar for doing your job and making the US proud
My Dad (Bless the Dead) used to say....
Don't watch the person you expect to steal.....watch the person, in your wildest dreams could you imagine them stealing.....because 9 times out of 10, while you're watching the wrong person, you're being robbed blind!
We've been so focused on making sure Muslim Religious Laws..... Don't become actual laws, everyone must live by......
We weren't watching, while Christians in different states......were actively, Passing......Christian Religious Laws, that EVERYONE (in the state, regardless of their Religion) must NOW live by!
Hypocrisy!
She is so smart and pretty
I completely agree with her
Time for religion start paying taxes
She's not religious or feminist. She's a realist. Talking about real problems
💯✊✊✊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliantly stated Omar. Thank you for not only being sincere in your words, but also in your actions and public life. You are not my representative, but I am glad that you are in Capital Hill, embodying the truths that all Americans should share.
I have no respect for someone who only says negatives bout the US, and tells us that white men are dangerous, and she was able to get her brother her by marrying him, it will come out, she came here using a different family surname, and lied on taxes, and student loan apps. she's a liar, and the left knows she's done this and they won't bring it up but those that do this for a living are have filed on it. She had 2 husbands at the same time. And anyone at here age, does not have enough wisdom and common sense to know how to go about and deal with the antics of these dems and republicans, all she's done lately is to spar w/ pres trump. He didn't say anything racist, he got sick of listening to her and her and the others, if you don't like it here go back to where you came from, good grief, she's as anti-sematic as a person can be, it's so sad to listen to her and the other one say the things they say about jews. I'm 67 I've never seen anything like these 2 women. I get AOC, and don't agree with her but I like her zeal, the other 2 are scary.
Thank you for representing women positively . We needed you years ago. So please don't stop.
i swear, in like 15 years women wont have any rights if we keep going in this direction... its so messed up
So what about the fetus? They have no right to live?
Personally i feel that if you cant provide the basic rights for a human and if they are gonna come into this world and suffer, it wud be a gr8er sin than the loss of a life. Also, the mother of the child might be put into jeopardy becuz she wud have to take care of a life she chose not to have but is forced onto her. That is a huge blow to one's freedom and life becuz a baby is a life long commitment. But opinions differ and ill respect the views abt this issue
Religious freedom is the right to exercise your religion but not to impose it onto others. That is why, religious politicians should be ban on the ground that it create conflict because we as a human being have different beliefs.
In a communist country you would be 100% correct. We are not a communist country and have a constitutional law that assures religious bigots cannot exclude someone from a governmental position based on their religious beliefs.
@@ianalan4367 Hahah.. religious affiliation is a huge factor. Nones legislator experience discrimination in the house of congress and senate in the religious state. And oh, many proposed bill were blocked for religious reason. So dont be naive. Even some of your justices decide based on his religion. That is insane!!!
I am so glad the congresswomen is pointing out this hypocracy.
Thank you for all you do for us Sen. Omar! 👏👏👏👏
What about the babies choice to live and not die??
It's not a baby. It's a collection of cells incapable of sustaining life independently.
I can't believe I have to explain this to anyone older than 7.
@@Xandra1076 First of all there's no need to insult. Let's act like mature human beings.
We are ALL collections of cells. Not able to independently sustain themselves is ALL humans when born til they can feed themselves. You should be glad your parents fed you😜
So it's ok to kill people that are disabled and cannot survive without someone helping them?
If you have time there's a free movie called 180 that I suggest.
Have a BLESSED Day.
And Jesus loves you!!
It's not about religion. It's about saving the lives of babies that can't defend themselves against a murderous mother. What was the baby's crime? Inconvenience...
I stan with her
What is criminal is murdering a child in the womb
What should we be donating to help civil rights of women in these states?
Anne Elizabeth I believe the ACLU has something going, plus they would know of other organizations involved in the fight for women’s rights.
They also force women to have kids and then once they are born they dgaf. Once they are born and the mother asks for help to feed her children or help with housing they say “welp you shouldn’t have had kids if you can’t afford them “ and don’t say birth control bc they have restricted that also.
Why not go after the men who have kids and don’t care for them? Why is it women who are ostracized? It truly is the American taliban.
The christian taliban
Spot on. Nailed it is right. Kudos
Wow! She is impressive. I do not understand why she does not get more coverage from the national media. She is articulate, intelligent, and beautiful. She should be a role model for young girls around this country, even the blonde haired white christian ones.
Omar has to be one of the dumbest human beings on the planet. She hates the very country that saved her from her oppressive homeland.
Awesome speech. Thank you.
A woman's right ends where the baby's right to exist begins!
People: I can’t afford a Baby it costs 10 grand!!
People: Ban Abortions!!!
THEN WHY TF WOULD THEY GET PREGNANT IF THEY CAN't AFFORD A BABY. IT ISN'T THE BABY"S FAUTL FOR BEING CONCEIVED
@@archaicnymph2977 Yeah, and it isn’t the baby’s fault when the mother is raped and forced to conceive.
There's something wrong with a society where a religious woman is calling other religious people out.
She is obeying constitution which seperated religion and state
Rep. Ilhan Omar is such a strong politician. thank you for standing up for women's rights!
She should've called it what it is. Americas version of sharia law
OMG someone speaking the truth!!
She's absolutely correct, of course.
Dresses like Mother Mary
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE CALLED THEM OUT FOR USING RELIGION AS REASONING IN A SECULAR GOVERNMENT!!!!
IT ISNT ABOUT RELIGION IT IS ABOUT KILLING A BABY
the amount of stupidity in this comment section is simply mind-blowing I had to cancel work today to talk some sense into these people
EDIT: I actually did I cancel work I just had the day off
Why should women have the right to kill another human being. If one doesn't want a baby then don't take the actions that lead to one. This is the point of choice.
Well said 💪🏽♥️
Separation of church and state? Oh, so we're going to ignore the double standard on genital mutilation for males. Cool.
We can't ignore that either. It's also a violation of human rights and is a double standard to not get rid of that law too. I'm a woman and I'm trying to advocate for that as well.
She is my favorite Congressperson. Bernie Sanders is a close second.
Always awe-inspiring.
Why is it that "religious rights" are theirs?
Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 she is so right about other countries.
As a 70 year old white Scotsman can I just say that I am really impressed with this Woman. She speaks her mind clearly and is not afraid of criticism when she believes in her cause.
It’s so cool that Islam defines exactly the time when the soul enters the body of a fetus - at 4 months.
Great work Ilhan. We love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Love her.
There are no arguments that can sway me into accepting a society that forces women to procreate by law.
We universally recognize human beings to be special, by virtue of our conscious self-awareness that is inseparable from our physical bodies.
Forcing women against their will, denying their personal agency, to carry to term regardless of circumstance is a crime against humanity.
Imagine if women could select at random any man they chose to legally be responsible for their child. Just the financial side alone would cause such a fury of backlash the entire country would be up ended. Add parental responsibilities. It would still pale in comparison to the forced removal of basic human rights afoot in Alabama.
All at the behest of a primarily religious-based doctrine.
I love her so much for saying this. Nobody should have a right over someone else's body.
Like.... an unborn child
Society such as America is better off utilizing a secular worldview. If you believe in a life after this; go right ahead, but religious beliefs shouldnt be the hallmark of a society’s regulations
