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.
North Dakota governor Jack Dalrymple has signed the nation’s most restrictive abortion bill with an aim to test the boundaries of the Roe v. Wade decision.
In addition to the bill that would ban abortion after six weeks, Dalrymple signed a second law banning abortion based on generic abnormality and a third that requires doctors who perform abortions to have hospital admitting procedures.
“Although the likelihood of this measure surviving a court challenge remains in question, this bill is nevertheless a legitimate attempt by a state legislature to discover the boundaries of Roe v Wade,” Gov. Dalrymple said.
The signing comes weeks after Arkansas tightened their abortion laws.
The new laws do not include exemptions for rape, incest or the health of the mother.
Women who violate the law will face no punishment but doctors could face five years in prison and a $5,000 penalty.
