Texas Abortion Clinic Closed By State

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.

Texas officials have closed a Houston area abortion clinic because they refused to follow regulations in new state laws.

The Houston Chronicle reported that A Affordable Women’s Medical Center had their license revoked on Friday.  The revocation is the first since a law that requires abortion clinic doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles from the clinic.

In addition, Dr. Theodore M. Herring, Jr. has his license to practice medicine temporarily suspended for committing 268 abortions between November 6, 2013 and February 7, 2014.   Herring was the clinic’s medical director and sole abortionist.

The law requiring admission privileges went into effect November 1, 2013.

Herring’s lawyers say that the doctor submitted a plan to state officials that was ruled insufficient stating he would obtain the required hospital privileges by August 31, 2014.
