0:00.0	It's Friday, October 4, 2024.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:14.0	Well, today we find ourselves talking about comments made by the former First Lady
0:18.0	Malaniya Trump on the issue of abortion.
0:21.0	And it just shows how volatile this issue is just when you think you have reached a certain point in the discussion all of a sudden a new statement is made and new development happens.
