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.
Those wishing to increase abortions in Arizona celebrated today when the Supreme Court refused to overturn a decision blocking the state’s law blocking abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The Court’s refusal to hear the case leaves the ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in place that said the law preserving the lives of babies after 20 weeks was unconstitutional.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the ban into law in April 2012. Abortion advocates immediately ran to court to have the law struck down.
The appeals court said that the law violated the right to kill a baby through abortion before the child is considered “viable” by the government. The court said that was generally considered to be 24 weeks.
Lawyers representing the state said the ban was not technically a law but a medical regulation because doctors could perform abortions in medical emergencies.
