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.
Recently released court records show that Arizona judges have approved almost 75% of requests from minors for an abortion without their parent’s consent.
Since 2010, 95 of 128 minors who asked a judge to permit the abortion without parental consent received the order. State law requires parental consent for abortion by minors but a minor can trump their parent’s wishes through a court.
“In every state I have studied, or other people have studied, the pattern is the same, and the pattern is that a minor who makes her way to a court and gets before a judge to petition for a bypass is very likely to get her petition granted,” Helena Silverstein, a Lafayette College professor who focuses on abortion politics told the Christian Post.
Arizona has reported a 7.4% drop in abortions from 2011 to 2012.
