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.
Mississippi is the latest state to put a restriction on abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
The bill is connected to a medical research study showing that a baby definitively feels pain at the 20th week of gestation, halfway through the length of a full-term pregnancy. The Mississippi law refers specifically to that research as the basis for the bill.
The law provides an exemption after 20 weeks if the woman’s life is in danger or if the baby has significant deformities that it would not survive outside the womb at full term.
“Today is an important day for protecting the unborn and the health and safety of women in Mississippi,” Governor Phil Bryant said in a statement.
Other states passing similar laws are Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
Pro-abortionist were critical of the bill saying it did not provide enough exemptions for women such as in the case of incest.
