| 0:03.4 | where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:07.0 | Today we're going to talk about a new court ruling about the abortion drug, |
| 0:10.5 | whether it's safe and how it can be accessed. |
| 0:13.2 | We're also going to talk about marriage and a new study that suggests the more siblings you have |

| 0:26.0 | Welcome to Breakpoint this Week. |

| 1:16.0 | a grammar error. It's not... Dear heavens. Okay, I'm so excited that we disagree about this because |
| 1:21.6 | now I'd like people to please write to us and tell us who's correct. Is redundancy a grammar error? |
| 1:26.5 | I didn't write it. You said you said it was a misidentification. Then somebody said we could |
| 1:33.2 | call Shane, the unbearded Gandalf to which somebody else on our team replied, that really makes |
