2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God…”
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.
A record number of abortion clinics in the United States closed during 2013.
The survey from Operation Rescue says the number of surgical abortion clinics in the United States is down 12 percent in 2013 and down 73 percent from a record high in 1991.
In all, 87 clinics discontinued surgical abortions. Six of the clinics remained open to provide abortion-inducing drugs but 81 clinics completely closed their doors. The total does not include clinics that were closed for significant portions of time in 2013.
The number of clinics that only provide abortion-inducing drugs remained fairly steady at 176, with six documented clinic closures.
Planned Parenthood clinics accounted for 30 percent of surgical abortion clinics and 93 percent of all clinics that offer abortion via drugs only. Planned Parenthood, which receives tax dollars, is responsible for about one third of all abortions in the United States.
