| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry. |
| 0:06.5 | In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute. |
| 0:19.4 | Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. |
| 0:25.0 | I'm Roger Marsh. |
| 0:26.1 | You know, in recent years, we have witnessed historic changes that many of us never thought |
| 0:30.5 | we would ever see in our lifetimes. |
| 0:32.0 | In June 2022, on the 24th day of the month, after nearly 50 years of prayer and dedicated effort from millions of Americans, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson decision. |
| 0:47.1 | This represented an unprecedented victory for the pro-life movement. It also opened the door for states to protect unborn children like never before. And yet, |
| 0:55.8 | as we celebrated the third anniversary of this milestone earlier this year, we realize our work is |

| 1:33.5 | human life, and perhaps especially when that life doesn't exactly match our expectations of |
| 1:39.5 | perfect, quote unquote. As you listen to Dr. Dobson reading this letter, I encourage you to listen |
| 1:45.1 | with an open heart. Whether you're driving to work or maybe doing some dishes or laundry at home |
| 1:50.3 | or just taking a quiet moment for yourself, this story will remind you why we must continue |
| 1:55.7 | to advocate for the sanctity of human life. It shows how one decision to protect a vulnerable life |
| 2:01.6 | can have ripple effects that touch countless others |
| 2:04.6 | in beautiful and unexpected ways. |
