0:00.0	It's Friday, March 21, 2025.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Mowler, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:13.0	You know, the pro-life movement has been pushing for decades against the Roe v. Wade decision of the Supreme Court from 1973. That was reversed, of course,
0:22.4	in the Dobbs decision back in 2002. But we are looking at the fact that when you have states
0:28.5	moving towards what we would see is more consistent pro-life laws, eventually someone's going to

1:28.8	criminal arrests of abortion providers since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 22.
1:36.2	Okay, so let's just face what's going on here. So the state of Texas, after the Dobbs decision,
1:42.2	reversing Roe v. Wade, moved to restrict abortion very significantly.
1:47.0	And as a matter of fact, Texas has been moving into greater and greater consistency in terms of the
1:52.2	defense of unborn life. The Attorney General there in Texas is the lead constitutional officer
1:58.5	to deal with these issues. It was the Office of the Texas Attorney General as Ken Paxton,
