0:00.0 | Well, Bill, you may recall last time we recorded a podcast, we talked about possibility that |
0:14.8 | Roe v. Wade would be overturned by the Supreme Court and we said, wouldn't it be something? |
0:20.5 | If the next time we record a podcast, that Roe v. Wade were overturned and that is exactly |
0:28.8 | what has happened. It's unbelievable, isn't it? I feel Kevin, as though I'm living in a new day |
0:37.2 | for America, a new era, abortion on demand is no longer the law of our land and this terrible |
