Missouri is Latest US State to Approve Anti-Abortion Bill
Missouri is the latest U.S. state to act in favor of a restrictive abortion ban bill, bolstering a national movement Republicans hope could lead to the revocation of the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion.
The Republican-led Senate in the midwestern U.S. state voted 24-10 early Thursday to ban abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy. The legislation includes exceptions for medical emergencies but not for pregnancies caused by incest or rape.
The state’s Republican-led House must approve the measure before it goes to Republican Governor Mike Parson for him to sign into law. Parson voiced support for the bill on Wednesday.
The Missouri senate’s passage of the bill came hours after Republican Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed into law a near-total ban on abortion.
“To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God,” Ivey said in a statement.
Lawmakers in the southeastern U.S. state had passed the legislation Tuesday, sparking a legal fight over a measure that becomes the nation’s most stringent abortion law.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America vowed Wednesday to challenge the legislation in court. “We have no choice,” said president Leana Wen. “We are talking about the rights for generations to come.” https://www.voanews.com/a/missouri-is-latest-us-state-to-approve-anti-abortion-bill-/4919783.html
So, Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion company in the USA, feels it has no choice but to try to take legal action to prevent the right of human babies to be born.
I remember the lies that the pro-abortionists gave when they were pushing for states to legalize abortion. Basically, the lies were that the human baby was simply a blob of tissue, it wasn’t really human, it would not feel pain when violently killed by abortion doctors, and legalizing abortion was essentially necessary for women’s rights.
Here are some lies about abortion that World Net Daily posted a while back written by William Hamnet Wall:
Lie No. 1: When life begins is unknown.
Science is very clear that all chromosomes, DNA and RNA are present at the moment of conception.
DNA includes more than just the cellular blueprint of your physical body down to the length of your eyelashes. It seems to lay out unique features of your mind, your natural talents, aptitudes and even what dreams are likely to enthrall you.
Lie No. 2: The unborn are not human until they take their first breath.
Science informs us that the unborn child does breathe in utero through her umbilical cord attached to mother.
I once asked an abortionist: After a baby is born, he is holding his breath, right? Yes, he said. So before the doctor spanks him, while he’s squirming upside-down held by his ankles, still attached by umbilical cord, is the baby human before his first breath? No, he answered with much less certainty in his voice, almost robotically. So the baby can be killed at that moment? He awakened to this lie’s absurdity, shook his head and agreed that would be wrong.
Lie No. 3: The mother determines her child’s value.
The fallacy goes like this: Any unborn child is worthless unless the mother ascribes some value to him or her. If she prefers to finish a college course before giving birth, then the baby becomes less valuable and is expendable. After graduation, her unborn child becomes precious.
No intrinsic value exists in early human life; our value is determined by how our birth’s timing comports with our mother’s convenience.
Lie No. 4: Abortions are safe.
There are physical and psychological consequences, some very severe. Check out the research yourself.
Question the validity of resources that ignore the psychic effects of having abortions. After all, we are more than just a body.
Lie No. 5: Infanticide is more humane than growing up poor and unwanted.
Newsflash: Very few kids are told daily how valuable and cherished they are. Most parents are struggling with their own problems and feelings of low self-worth. Many exasperated parents, in moments of selfishness, feel their children are unwanted.
Most well-adjusted people look back with tearful gratitude on the struggles of their parents raising them. How much love existed and dedication to family? Many say they didn’t even know they were poor.
No wonder so many thousands eagerly pay a fortune to adopt so-called “unwanted” babies and children to take on the privilege of being parents.
Lie No. 6: The unborn feel no pain during dismemberment at 5 months.
Much medical evidence exists to corroborate the obvious fact that pain-sensitive nerve cells have formed by this time in a baby’s development.
“The Silent Scream” is a 1984 educational film narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician, NARAL Pro-Choice America founder and abortion provider turned pro-life activist. The film shows an abortion taking place of a 12-week-old fetus using ultrasound footage. I could not watch it, but apparently, the baby is seen screaming in agony.
After 20 weeks, no pain? Don’t believe it.

There have long been many lies pushed by the murderous abortion industry.
Not only are there lies by the abortion industry, that industry has greatly affected politics in the USA and many other nations. In the USA, to cite one example, it is almost required that national Democratic party political candidates endorse abortion rights.
As far as life goes, it starts at human conception. This is simply a fact of biology, but decades ago, the abortion proponents tried to argue against that. And while most of them must realize that is true, many pretend otherwise.
Notice, also the following:
May 3, 2016 (LiveActionNews) — Abortion advocates often claim as a defense of abortion that no one can really, truly define the moment life begins. Without knowing that, they say, there’s no real argument against abortion. Consider, for example, Melissa Harris-Perry’s insistence that life begins “whenever you feel like it does.” Obama famously said that the question of when life begins was above his pay grade. While the science of embryology has long been settled, it’s still not good enough for abortion activists.
But a new scientific breakthrough might go a long way towards changing hearts and minds: scientists have been able to capture the moment life begins, with a bright flash of light as a new life is conceived…
Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception. Scientists had seen the phenomenon occur in…animals but it is the first time is has been also shown to happen in humans.
(Scientists say life begins at conception with a flash of light. May 3, 2016. https://www.lifesitenews.com/pulse/scientists-say-life-begins-at-conception-with-a-flash-of-light)
Human life begins at conception.
The Bible shows, that unlike humans, God does know how babies grow in the womb:
5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything (Ecclesiastes 11:5).
Elizabeth made a positive comment about her unborn baby John the Baptist leaping (Luke 1:41-44) and the statements that the Angel that appeared to Mary to tell her about her upcoming conception (Luke 1:31-35) also provide additional biblical support to the idea that the unborn are human.
Pro-abortion advocates try to pretend that abortion should be safe and rare. Well, it is never safe for the baby, and it certainly is not rare.
The following was accessed today from National Right to Life News:
The Consequences of Roe v. Wade
60,942,033
Total abortions since 1973
Based on numbers reported by the Guttmacher Institute 1973-2014, w/ projections of 906,308for 2015-18, based on -2.05% drop seen by CDC from 2014 -15.GI has estimated possible undercounts of 3-5%,so an additional 3% is factored into the overall total. 1/19
Abortionists claim it is bad to stop/reduce legal abortions.
They (and others) need to consider also the following scriptures:
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (Romans 1:18)
Abortion is wrong. Abortion is murder. It is wrong to try to stop people from telling others the truth about abortion. France is going the wrong way on this.
Fining people, and even the implicit threat of doing so, for speech that was not intended to deceive is a police-state tactic.
Because of speech ‘laws’ and actions, the time will more and more come when the following is fulfilled:
13 Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time. (Amos 5:13)
Until then, however, we in the Continuing Church of God are striving to fulfill the following:
1 “Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)
Abortion is a sin.
As far as crying aloud goes, in addition to making posts on this COGwriter news page against abortion, as well as having a longer article against it (see Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman’s Right to Choose), we have made videos denouncing it. Here are links to two of them:
Abortion, the Bible, and US Debt. What is an abortion? How are they performed? Does the Bible teach that unborn children are still human? Is abortion wrong? How many are being aborted? Has there been increases in US debt since the “legalization” of abortion? Is debt a biblical curse? This is a video.
Land of ‘Free’ Abortions and Debt The State of Oregon decided to make abortions free for those that want them. Does freedom of choice include the right to shed innocent blood? What has happened to the economy of the USA since abortions became legalized? What has happened to incomes since that time? How many babies have been killed since the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973? Is there a cost to abortion beyond the financial and emotional? What does the Bible teach? What does the Bible prophesy? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other questions. This is a video.
Because we have denounced abortion and other sins, we believe that this is why places like YouTube have discouraged people (via search algorithm changes) from finding our videos.
The Bible condemns those that shed innocent blood, as that is something that God hates:
So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD (Deuteronomy 21:9).
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace (Isaiah 59:7-8).
Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place (Jeremiah 22:3).
“Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence” (Jeremiah 22:17).
Babies are innocent. Killing them is the shedding of innocent blood.
It is good that some political leaders in Alabama, Missouri, and some other US states realize this.
