Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”
Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.
The Irish Parliament gave overwhelming first approval to a bill that would allow limited abortion.
The bill passed 138-24 to go to a second reading. The bill’s passage is the first in a three-step process before becoming law.
The law states that any woman who three doctors say is at risk for suicide because of her pregnancy would be allowed to abort her baby. Several members of the Parliament voted against the bill in defiance of their political party’s stance and risk being expelled from their parties.
Pro-life advocates say the bill is opening the door for more widespread abortion regulations while pro-abortionists say the law is too restrictive.
