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.
A group of U.S. Senators joined with pro-life activists in calling for a new law that would prohibit abortions after the 20th week of gestation.
The rally called for passage of the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Lindsey Graham were among the dignitaries that called on Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring the bill to the floor for debate and a vote.
“This legislation, which according to five major national polls is supported by the majority of Americans, would protect babies and women from the horrific violence of abortion beyond 20 weeks,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List.
The 20-week abortion ban is in place in 13 states.
Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood are vehemently against the bill even though they admit that 99% of the abortions in the U.S. happen before the 20th week. They are also angry the bill would jail doctors for 5 years if they perform abortions after the 20th week.
Praise the Lord !! It is about time we stand accountable to the Word of the Lord as a nation – one nation UNDER GOD ………
