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.
Members of the Legislative Assembly in Northern Ireland are debating an amendment that would ban abortions at private clinics in the nation.
The amendment is being attached to a criminal justice bill.
Opponents of the measure say the bill will keep women from being able to obtain abortions as prescribed by current law but the author of the bill says those claims have no basis.
“This amendment does not change the law in the terms of the grounds on which an abortion is carried out,” MLA Paul Givan told the BBC. “What it does do is prevent unregulated, unaccountable private clinics making financial gain from vulnerable women and their unborn children and it ensures that in terrible, life-threatening circumstances, the best care is provided free at the point of need within the NHS.”
Supporters of the bill also point to public surveys that show a major majority of those in Ireland supporting strict regulations on abortion.
Even a few abortion proponents said they will be supporting the bill solely because there currently are no regulations on private clinics who wish to perform abortions.
