Supreme Court Allows Texas Abortion Law To Go Into Effect

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 U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from pro-abortionists to stay Texas’ new abortion law pending an appeal.

The justices ruled 5-4 to leave in effect provisions banning abortions after 20 weeks and requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

The four liberal justices who wanted to stop the law that Texas officials say is aimed to protect the health of women seeking abortions said they expect the law to return to the Court once a final ruling is issued by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

A judge had blocked the law days before it was to take effect but was overruled by a three-judge appellate panel. Judge Priscilla Owen said that Texas law would not end abortion; only force women to drive a greater distance to obtain one, and that did not pose an “undue burden” on the women.

“This is good news both for the unborn and for the women of Texas, who are now better protected from shoddy abortion providers operating in dangerous conditions,” Texas Governor Rick Perry told reporters. “As always, Texas will continue doing everything we can to protect the culture of life in our state.”

  1. Amen! God hates for His babies to be murdered. Most adopted babies at least have a good chance of becoming heathly and find safety with good families. Why not at least give the baby that God gave you, a chance at life and save yourself from regret and sorrow later – or maybe even save YOUR life?
