John Legend replied again, stating he and Ruslan were at a “moral stalemate” and saying that Ruslan believes a “fetus” has “equal or more rights than that woman,” adding, “I simply don’t believe that and don’t believe the government should force that belief on the public against their will.”
Ruslan responded by asking when Legend believes a human has rights. He cited Psalm 139: 13-14, which says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Ruslan also addressed Legend’s view that “most Americans” agree with him by giving examples from history, such as slavery, when most Americans supported something wrong.
The YouTuber posted a follow-up video on Oct. 31 summarizing the exchange between John Legend and himself and saying he welcomed the singer to come on his YouTube channel and have a “human to human” conversation with him that would not be “contentious.”
