| 0:05.0 | Friday, January 21, 2022. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events |
| 0:12.0 | from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | On Sunday comes the anniversary, the tragic anniversary of the Rovi Wade decision handed down |
| 0:20.0 | on January the 23rd of 1973. |
| 0:23.4 | So we are now just one year from the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's |

| 1:28.0 | We have reason to hope that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court in 2022 will uphold our constitutional order |
| 1:37.3 | and strike down the Roe v. Wade decision that basically made abortion on demand legal in all 50 states. |
| 1:47.2 | But there is still going to be much work to do because Christians understand that in the |
