0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Think You Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith, and today I am joined by Scott Keith and Adam Francisco. And we're talking about a little bit of a somber topic today. Adam reminded us that it is the upcoming anniversary, although by the time you've listened to this episode, I think it will have passed. But it has been the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States. And so an opportunity to talk about abortion, probably one of the sort of greatest issues in the West today, one of the greatest public moral issues for Christians in the West today and a battle we often lose.
1:05.8	But the overturning of Roe v. Wade was in some ways sort of like, I think, a light at the end of the
1:11.8	tunnel for people. But I'd like to, I don't know, look at the data, talk about the issue,
1:18.1	get the two of you to discuss, I don't know, it's not really a dilemma for Christians,
1:24.0	because it is kind of a very black and white. It's not like, is it moral or immoral?
1:28.8	It's not the question. But there are a couple of difficult questions around abortion, like
1:34.3	what can Christians do? How do you as a church help people who have had abortions? How do we work to maybe not just combat it in the legal sense,
1:49.1	but to reach people who feel like they need to get an abortion and give them hope or alternatives?
1:57.1	So I think those are some of the questions for today. But Adam, you're going to be speaking at a pro-life event. Is that true? A March for Life. Yeah, the March for Life. But the Youth for Life conference that like takes place before, during and after it. So it's not as, it's not going to be millions of people.
2:20.5	But just before we get too far down the road, Caleb,
2:23.4	it's actually, so January 22nd is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
2:29.2	I'm not sure when the Dobbs decision.
2:31.6	I mean, it was 2022.
2:33.2	I see.
2:34.0	I thought you meant it was the Dobbs decision. I mean, it was 2022. I see. I thought you meant it was the Dobbs decision.
2:36.8	No. The only reason why I know, it's not like I put that date in my calendar or anything, but
2:40.9	just because the March for Life is always around that anniversary. I see. Dobbs was decided June 24th,
2:49.0	2022. Yeah, yeah.
2:51.3	Yeah, so not too far.
2:52.1	And that overturned Roe-Wade.
2:54.0	Yeah.
2:54.1	But still, that's actually already four years ago.
