0:00.0	You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.
0:07.3	Today we're going to talk about renewed efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
0:11.4	We're also going to talk about a provocative new piece from a group of researchers at Stanford who believe we might be able to create, quote unquote, spare human body parts.
0:21.4	We have a lot to get to today.
0:22.8	We're so glad you're with us.
0:24.2	Please stick around.
0:27.2	Welcome to Breakpoint this week.
0:29.1	From the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I'm Maria Bear, alongside John Stone Street,
0:33.7	president of the Colson Center.
0:35.3	John, I want to jump right into it this week because we have several things I know we want to get to. The first is that there seems to be some renewed energy

1:19.2	notably, under, you know, possible violations of the no-DEI rule. So it seems like there's some, at least, momentum going for this effort. Do you think it's possible this will actually get done
1:25.1	this time around? Well, you know, a lot of people shared what was a Wall Street Journal article, and it's obviously the Trump administration
1:32.3	that's driving this around other efforts. You mentioned both Doge and DEI, anti-D-EI efforts,
1:39.3	and both of those are kind of avenues in order to think about this. It's certainly long overdue.
1:47.1	Planned Parenthood has received an incredible amount of government benefit, claiming to provide
1:53.7	a kind of service that is a very, very tiny and in some cases, non-existent part of what they actually offer in terms of public health.
