0:00.0 | You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. |
0:07.4 | Today we're going to talk about the Supreme Court case that could decide the future of funding for Planned Parenthood. |
0:13.3 | We're also going to talk about so-called designer babies. We have a lot to get to this week. We're so glad you're with us. |
0:19.5 | Stick around. Welcome to Breakpoint |
0:23.3 | this week. From the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I'm Maria Bear alongside John Stone Street. |
0:28.5 | John, I want to jump right into the case before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court heard oral |
0:33.4 | arguments on Wednesday this week in what's going to be, I think, a monumental case, |
0:38.5 | Planned Parenthood versus Medina. I want to hand it over to you and just if you could give us an |

1:17.7 | three years, which is, of course, the transgender issue. And even now, I'm like, we weren't going to |
1:23.4 | talk about it, but now I'm going to talk about it, right? We talked about a year ago that there was a |
1:28.0 | vibe shift on this, that people were pulling back. We talked about the closing of clinics. We talked |
1:32.9 | about even the executive orders from the president right off the bat, that as far as the U.S. |
1:37.4 | government is concerned, there's only two sexes and rooting out DEI and other things. And you |
1:42.8 | know what happened this week? Two things. |
1:44.6 | Number one is we had more male athletes competing against women, particularly at the high school level. |
