Georgia Governor Bans Abortion In State Health Coverage

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.

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has signed a law that prohibits any health plan being sold in the state from including abortion coverage.

The law includes any policy that is sold through the federal health care exchange website.

“No abortion coverage shall be provided by a qualified health plan offered within the State of Georgia through a state law, federal law or regulation or exchange created by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” the bill reads.   The move will bar any taxpayer dollars from funding abortions because of a subsidized health care policy.

“Given the fact that the majority of Americans do not want to pay for abortions, it’s vital to restrain the influence of the abortion industry that has been enriched by taxpayer funds,” Dr. Charmaine Yoest of American United for Life said.

Many states have passed laws requiring people to purchase a special rider for health care plans if they wish to have abortion included under their health insurance.
