President Confirms “Deep Commitment To Abortion”

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.

On a day that hundreds of thousands of American women were marching on the nation’s capitol over the slaughter of over 55 million babies in the 42 years of Roe v. Wade, President Obama marked the moment by speaking about his strong support for abortion.

“Forty-two years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Roe v. Wade, a decision that protects a woman’s freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health, and reaffirms a fundamental American value: that government should not intrude in our most private and personal family matters,” Obama wrote in an official statement.

“I am deeply committed to protecting this core constitutional right,” he continued. “The federal government should not be injecting itself into decisions best made between women, their families, and their doctors.”

The president also said he is committed to reducing unintended pregnancies, supporting maternal and child health, promoting adoptions and minimizing the need for abortions.

Republican leaders in Congress shelved a vote Thursday morning on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which would have banned abortions after 20 weeks because of some female representatives that said they would not be able to get votes in their districts because of it.

Those in attendance at the March were furious.

“[It was] one of the most disappointing moments of my life,” said Sen. Trent Franks (R-AZ), the main sponsor of the bill.
