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.
An investigation by the New York Post has discovered the New York State Health Department has been negligent in their inspections of the state’s abortion clinics.
The report says that some facilities have not been inspected for violations in over a decade. The report also says that only 25 centers that provide abortions are regulated by the health department while pro-abortion supporters say that there are 225 abortion providers within the state.
The inspection reports show that 8 of the 25 clinics were never inspected between 2000-2012. Five had only one inspection and another eight only two or three times in the 12-year span. In all, a total of only 45 inspections were held during the 12-year period.
By comparison, state law requires all restaurants to be inspected once a year and every tanning salon once every two years.
A state Health Department employee told the Post that some facilities that perform abortions are not required to list that service in their operating certificates. In the case of places that do list abortion as a service, only one clinic had a legal action taken in the last 12 years.
