I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from

a Christian worldview.

Now, when the Dobbs decision was handed down by the Supreme Court on Friday,

not only did we do a special edition of the briefing,

but I said up front that some of the most interesting material for

worldview analysis, some of the dimensions that would demand our attention, would come in the

response to the decision.

And that response has been vehement. it has been voluminous and it is coming at us fast.

Now just looking at some interesting things in the last several days, one of the issues that

has emerged is the dawning recognition that human life might actually be at stake.

An important affirmation to this came from Henry Olson, the columnist of the Washington Post,

the thing to keep in mind here is that the Washington Post has been extremely liberal.

Now that's not a new development, but in particular on the abortion issue and on the Dobbs decision, the commentary has been overwhelmingly very, very

liberal. But Henry Olson writes this, he says that the unborn child quote is the

only reason abortion is and ought to be an issue of

political discussion no rational person today he writes believes that one human

being ought to take the life of another because they want to abortion on demand he wrote can be morally

justified only if the entity whose life is extinguished is not a human

being worthy of the legal protection of any decent society or that is the legal protection of any decent society provides."

Really fascinating.

For one thing that first line is something you don't see very often in public argument.
