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.

Yashoda Gurung told the jury through her Nepalese interpreter that she tried to go in and wish her mother well when she noticed that her mother wasn’t awake.
“My mom was sleeping,” she testified. “That’s what I thought. I tried to wake her up and the lady said ‘Leave her alone’.”
Gosnell is charged with third-degree murder in Mongar’s death along with seven counts of first-degree murder for killing babies who were born alive in his clinic. He faces charges for performing abortions after 24 weeks in violation of federal law.
