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.
Several states are seeing bills pushed forward to stop abortion after 20 weeks in the fallout of House Republicans pulling a vote on their federal level Pain Capable Abortion bills.
Ten states already have 20 week abortion bans while pro-abortionists have going to court to block laws in Arizona, Georgia and Idaho.
Ohio Right to Life announced Tuesday that legislators in their state house will introduce a 20 week abortion ban.
“Our Pain-Capable legislation will alter the abortion debate in Ohio,” Stephanie Ranade Krider, the group’s executive director, told the Washington Examiner. “An overwhelming majority of Americans, especially women, support protecting pre-born babies from scalpels and dismemberment. This is priority legislation for Ohio Right to Life and once again, the nation is watching.”
A poll by Quinnipiac University says that 60 percent of Americans oppose a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. Only 33 percent of Americans were opposed to the ban.
The House Republican’s decision to pull the vote at the last minute has been causing problems with pro-life organizations across the country who feel national leadership abandoned them.
