We welcome you to FEA, where we are overcoming through the power of the Word. May God bless you richly today.

A coalition of pro-life and moderate senators teamed up Wednesday May 11, to block a bill that would have ensured abortion remains legal nationwide even if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This was the second vote on the bill this year, but the first since a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion indicated that the justices may be on track to overturn the1973 decision. The bill Needed 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. However, when the count was made the bill received only 49 in favor while 51 opposed.

Two of the senators who voted against the bill called it extreme.  The bill expands abortion rights even way beyond Roe v. Wade. It also wipes 500 state laws off the books. The bill, H.R. 3755 says its purpose is to “permit health care providers to provide abortion services without limitations or requirements.” Further, it explicitly says it “supersedes” all state laws. Under the bill, abortion laws and regulations are illegal if they “do not significantly advance reproductive health or the safety of abortion services.”

The bill noted that “since 2011, States and local governments have passed nearly 500 restrictions” on abortion. Parental consent laws, for example, likely would be in peril had the bill become law. Those who supported it called it the “Women’s Health Protection Act.” Pro-life groups applauded the Senate’s action. Lila Rose, president of the pro-life group Live Action, said the bill would have “mandated abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy nationwide.”

Denise Burke, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, said that the bill sought to “entrench unrestricted abortion access until birth.” She further said, “The so-called ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ would have prohibited most – if not all – of the reasonable state laws related to abortion that are currently in place to protect the health of pregnant mothers, the dignity of unborn children, and the integrity of the medical profession,… We commend the members of the Senate who took a stand against this destructive legislation, and we will continue to fight alongside them to ensure policies are enacted that truly support women and protect innocent life.”

We thank God for those senators who took a firm stand against this bill and stopped it from becoming law in our nation. They took a stand on the side of God. May God bless them for doing so. It is evident that there is an insatiable thirst for the blood of the unborn in our nation. This is very troubling; I want to emphasize that God is taking note and He is going to act. But He is giving time for our nation to repent. Let us remember to pray for our nation to this end. The Bible says that God “…is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2Pet. 3:9). Amen!
