Summary
John Stonestreet and Shane Morris discuss the recent "cancelling" of Margaret Sanger by part of Planned Parenthood, the organization she founded. While many debate whether she was a racist herself, her involvement in the eugenics movement and the lethal legacy of Planned Parenthood in minority communities make such questions practically moot.
Also, John shares the story of his friend, the late Mike Adams. Mourning the fact that for far too many, Adams will only be known by a conveniently select number of tweets which his ideological opponents wish to share. What they won't see is how his students from across the socio-political spectrum loved and respected this man of courage and conviction.
Finally, Shane and John talk about the defiance of state law by John MacArthur's church in California, noting that while they may have questions about MacArthur's wording, they sympathize with the frustration of the arbitrary and inconsistent legal reactions to the COVID crisis by state and municipal governments.

| 0:03.0 | This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian World View. |
| 0:14.0 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris, here once again with John Stone Street, who's back, talking about the stories of the |
| 0:21.0 | week from a Christian worldview perspective. I'm coming to you from the divinely blessed land |
| 0:26.4 | we call Florida, which just became the launching point for America's latest mission to Mars, |
| 0:31.0 | and also just banned iguanas as pets. So it's a terrific place. |
| 0:35.6 | Really? What was the reasoning behind that? Why ban iguanas as pets? |
| 0:39.1 | Yeah, because they're an invasive species and they've taken over South Florida. And then in the winter, when it gets cold, they drop out of the trees because I don't think we want to remove from the American experience. |
| 0:54.8 | Given all the things that we've gone through in 2020, I mean, the least we can have is frozen falling iguanas. |
| 0:59.5 | Frozen falling iguanas this winter. |
| 1:01.4 | That's like a highlight every year. |
| 1:02.9 | It's like the first snow in Colorado is, you know, the falling iguanas. |
| 1:06.8 | Actually, I was on a plane today. |
| 1:08.4 | It was so weird. |
| 1:09.2 | The lady across from me, and flying is bizarre. |
| 1:12.3 | So for anyone who hasn't flown during the pandemic, and this was my first flight since March for this trip, my family and I just went two weeks away, spent some time in Northern Michigan, spent some time with family in Virginia, had some meetings. |
| 1:25.6 | But flying's weird. It's just bizarre. But the lady beside me was |
| 1:29.2 | watching iguana videos. So, I mean, just tonight, just as we were flying back in. So what a |
| 1:34.6 | strange coincidence that you bring up iguanas and the lady beside me is watching iguana videos. |
| 1:39.5 | I have no idea why, for the record, she just was. She's fromida she's uh bidding adieu to the venerable |
| 1:46.2 | era of iguanas as pets well maybe she has them as pets and maybe so she was having kind of a |
| 1:53.0 | moment of silence they're her scale babies instead of her fair babies they're her scale babies right right |
