You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about a new legal effort to prohibit the abortion pill regimen.

We're also going to talk about purity culture and the church. What did we get right? What did we get wrong?

We're so glad you're with us. Stick around.

Welcome to Breakpoint this week. From the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I'm Maria Bear, alongside John Stone

And we, of course, know all the risks to that. If you take the abortion pill regimen and you have an ectopic pregnancy, it can be deadly.

It can cause hemorrhage.

The incidence rates of women who take it ending up in the emergency room with some kind of medical emergency related to it is like 11% or something where the FDA says it's below three. As we've been talking about this

issue for the last several months, you know, there's been a, there have been pushes for the

FDA to reconsider its approval or to change the class scheduling or whatever it is. And I appreciate

those efforts, but I was really happy to see this

announcement from Senator Holly this week because this feels like a pretty straightforward.
