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 Missouri legislature has passed a law that will require any woman who is seeking an abortion to wait 72 hours after they initially contact a clinic.
The measure triples the current waiting period in the state and makes Missouri the third state behind Utah and South Dakota to require 72 hours. The waiting period would be waived in the event of a medical emergency.
The bill passed the Missouri House 111-39 and sent it to the governor who has a pattern of allowing abortion restrictions to become law without signing the bills. Last year, Nixon ignored a bill that requires doctors to be in the room when the initial dose of drugs for medical abortion is injected.
Nixon told reporters that he would review the waiting period and make a decision in line with his other decisions regarding abortion legislation.
Pro-abortion advocates were furious at the passage of the law saying that it could be medically dangerous to make a woman wait two more days before ending the life of their child via abortion.
