You're listening to Breakpoint this week where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

We're going to start today with news out of Ohio where voters on Tuesday approved an amendment to the state constitution legalizing abortion

with almost no restrictions. We're also going to talk about the leaked manifesto

from the shooter in Nashville at the Covenant School several months ago and what the coverage

of that manifesto in the news media says about our current cultural moment.

So we have a lot to get to today.

We're so glad you're with us.

Stick around.

Welcome to Breakpoint this week.

From the Coulson Center for Christian Worldview,

I'm Maria Bear, alongside John Stone Street, president of the Coulson Center, coming to you from Ohio looking at beautiful tree leaves outside in the red color, but it is a sad place to be for me today.

This was a difficult week in Ohio and I know we want to talk about issue one and

Funly enough not only did Ohio pass an amendment earlier this week that will enshrine the so-called right to abortion in our

state constitution with pretty much no restrictions. We also passed issue two

which legalizes recreational marijuana and commercializes it. But because of issue one and how much attention

understandably that that has received

issue two just kind of skated by

I think it was one of the lowest

financed campaigns in history of constitutional amendments here and it just

kind of skated by because of all of the attention being on issue one.

Both of these I think are going to make for a less safe, less stable state.

Yeah, it's just been a tough week.
