| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, May 12, 2022. I'm Albert Moller and this is the briefing, a daily |
| 0:10.0 | analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.0 | Well, of course, the big story yesterday is what didn't happen. |
| 0:17.0 | The fact that it didn't happen meant that we're still looking at news. |
| 0:20.0 | What didn't happen is that Democrats in the United States Senate were unable to forward to the floor for consideration a bill they proposed known as the Women's Health Protection Act of 2022 and just understand even though the Democratic leadership was claiming |

| 1:12.3 | news report about what didn't happen, about |
| 1:14.3 | the fact that the Democrats could not advance the bill, I want you to note even a |
| 1:18.7 | report that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. I want us to look at how this is reported. The reporters |
| 1:24.7 | Chevan Hughes and Eliza Collins tell us this, quote, Senate Democrats failed to |
| 1:29.2 | advance a bill seeking to ensure women's access to abortion in a vote designed to draw a clear |
| 1:34.4 | contrast with Republicans ahead of a potential Supreme Court decision overturning |
| 1:38.6 | Roe v. Wade looming just months before the midterm elections. |
