0:00.0	It's Tuesday, March 12, 2024. I'm Albert Molar and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:14.0	Well, the big news we're going to start out comes from Ireland, and interestingly, it's not about something that happened.
0:20.0	It's about something that didn't happen, and it's even bigger news because the leaders
0:23.5	of the country were sure that it was going to happen. So what didn't happen? What
0:27.8	didn't happen is that Irish voters did not vote over the weekend to approve
0:32.0	two constitutional amendments.
0:34.6	The government there was absolutely confident that they would pass, at least publicly so,
0:39.5	but neither of them passed and it wasn't even close.

1:46.8	nation liberalized its abortion laws and that was huge news that was earth-shaking
1:52.4	news because given the change on the definition of marriage in 2015 and then the change on abortion, the liberalizing of abortion laws in 2018, it's almost as if Ireland was being turned from a traditionalist morality
2:07.4	society into a very revolutionary society.
2:11.5	Now you might say that there's now an incongruity because since the
2:15.0	voters there in Ireland had moved in progressive directions on same-sex
