Louisiana Passes Strong Abortion Safety Regulations

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.

Louisiana has become the latest state to pass laws aimed at requiring abortion clinics to have safe conditions on the level of other major medical facilities.

One of those requirements is for abortionists to have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of the abortion clinic.

House Bill 388 reads: “On the date the abortion is performed or induced, a physician performing or inducing an abortion shall have active admitting privileges at a hospital that is located not further than thirty miles from the location at which the abortion is performed or induced and that provides obstetrical or gynecological health care services.”

The law passed the House of Representatives 88-5 after passing the Senate 34-3 earlier this month.

Governor Bobby Jindal said he’s looking forward to signing the bill.

The law reportedly will force three of the state’s five abortion clinics to close.
