Supreme Court Blocks Arizona Abortion Law

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.

The Supreme Court is blocking Arizona from enforcing restrictions on medical abortions while a series of court challenges works through lower courts.

The ruling by the Court upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the rules regulating where women can take abortion-inducing drugs.  Abortion-inducing drugs would also be prohibited after the 7th week of pregnancy instead of the current restriction of the 9th week.

The liberal-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the state of putting the restrictions in place while the legal challenges are taking place.  North Dakota, Ohio and Texas have similar laws to Arizona.

Abortionist Planned Parenthood says that drug conducted abortions for more than 40 percent of abortions in their abortion centers.

The Arizona restrictions were put into place following the deaths of 8 women who had taken the drugs.  The FDA claims there is no connection between the drugs and the deaths.
