Kanye West explains why he's pro-life.
West said he was still living the "rapper's lifestyle" when Kardashian found out she was pregnant with baby North, the couple's eldest child. The musical talent-turned-politico admitted that he did not want the baby, but Kardashian stood up and said she was going to have the child, for which West offered his wife immense praise."She brought North into the world, even when I didn't want to," he said. "She stood up and she protected that child."
West likened Kardashian saving baby North to his late mother saving his life from abortion some 43 years ago.
"And she said I'm pregnant," West recalled Kardashian finding out she was with child, adding that she was crying when she left the doctor's office.
"I was living the rapper's lifestyle," West disclosed.
"For one month, and two months, and three months, we talked about her not having this child," he said. "She had the (abortion) pills in her hand. You know those pills, where you take the pills and it's a wrap, the baby's gone."
"I'm in the apartment in Paris," West continued, "and I have my laptop up, and I have all my creative ideas ... and the screen went black and white. And God said, if you f*** with my vision, I'm gonna f*** with yours." ...
"You know who else protected a child?" he asked the crowd. "Forty-three years ago, who do you think protected a child?"
"My mom," he said. "My mom saved my life."
Earlier this month, West told Forbes that he is "pro-life because I'm following the word of the Bible."
