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.
Planned Parenthood won’t be able to perform abortions at their new facility in New Orleans.
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals rejected a request from Planned Parenthood to allow for abortions to take place at a currently under construction facility.
“Planned Parenthood’s application for an outpatient abortion facility license was denied by the department based on failure to demonstrate the need for an outpatient abortion facility in the DHH Region 1, as well as failure to meet the requirements of a facility need review process,” Ashley C. Lewis, a spokesperson for the DHH, told The Christian Post. Lewis said the department ruled this way because: “The number of other outpatient abortion facilities in the same geographic location, region and the area serving the same population; as well as allegations involving issues of access to outpatient abortion services.”
Pro-abortion activists are blaming Governor Bobby Jindal, saying that he has taken steps to stop abortion from growing in the state of Louisiana. They have taken the state to court over laws that, for example, require doctors who perform abortions to be able to admit patients to a hospital within 30 miles.
A spokeswoman for Americans United for Life told the Christian Post that Planned Parenthood is always seeking to expand their abortion business and expects the group to try again to open an abortion room at the new facility.
