0:00.0	It's Monday, June 24, 2024.
0:07.8	I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events
0:12.3	from a Christian worldview.
0:14.0	Two years ago today, the United States Supreme Court made constitutional moral and national history
0:20.0	by striking down the Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion in 1973.
0:25.0	So almost a century after Roe v. Wade was infamously handed down,
