It's Friday, May 3rd, 2024. I'm Albert Molar and this is the briefing. A daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

Well, we need to turn to two very different states facing the same issue, and that is the

issue of abortion.

We need to look very quickly at recent developments in Arizona and in Florida.

First of all, in Florida, what is now one of the nation's strictest bans on abortion

went into effect this week.

And you see the national media immediately coalescing around this and not by

accident there are often these days throwing up a map of America talking about what they would

define as abortion access and all of a sudden they have turned Florida dark and that tells you a lot about how the larger

progressives culture looks at the issue of abortion. They look at those who oppose abortion as being opposed to progress, as being

opposed to human liberation, as being concerned with an ethical issue they don't even recognize

is an ethical issue. They see those who hold to a pro-life position as being

anti-women's rights because they define women's rights entirely in terms of

secular autonomy. But they also understand what many Christians don't fully understand, and that is that

the reason so many in this country are so committed to the abortion cause is because they are so committed to the

sexual revolution that is to say to the revolution in sexual morality that

took place that largely defined the abortion rights movement say in the 1960s and 1970s, think of Rovi

Wade in 1973. Those who are trying to press for a revolution in morality on sex, and that meant liberating in their view human sexual

expression from the restraints of marriage as the union of a man and a woman in

order to accomplish that agenda they needed easy access to abortion and the more

access to abortion the more liberation in their view that's one of the reasons why

you see with the state of Florida right now.
