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 most recent Abortion Surveillance report has been released by the Centers for Disease Control and is showing a very disturbing trend among women in Georgia who are choosing to end the lives of their babies via abortion.
The data, from 2010, is the latest available from the CDC and shows that 53.6% of the babies killed via abortion in Georgia are black. That number is 2.5 times larger than the number of white babies who die via abortion during the data year.
The reason the percentage of black babies to white babies killed is shocking is because the population of the state is almost 63% white. Only 31% of Georgia’s 2012 population is black.
The study also showed that while the number of abortions for all racial demographics were down in 2010, the decrease was significantly less for black women than any other racial group.
However, critics of the report note that the study cannot be truly representative of the entire nation as California, one of the country’s largest states and one of the largest abortion providing states, refuses to report their data for the official CDC abortion survey.
