Life Issues

Today I have double the evidence the abortion industry and its advocates aren’t concerned about protecting women.  Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey stopped Planned Parenthood from dispensing dangerous chemical abortion pills.  They failed to secure an approved complication plan in place to protect women who take the drugs.  I’m not surprised because they admitted to using moldy abortion equipment on women for months and were aiding the trafficking of minors.  Their abortionists admitted for half a decade they violated state law by not reporting abortion complications.  Now the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute wants to end requiring states to report abortion statistics.  Instead replace it with voluntary reporting.  Clearly the abortion industry can’t be trusted on their own.

Promising and exciting new research is making a difference for comatose patients.  The study involved over two hundred recent comatose patients.  Scientists discovered a hidden consciousness in many of them.  The study revealed what they call organized and fast frequencies in their brains while they slept.  They call these bursts sleep spindles.  They’re an indication patients can hear and understand what’s going on around them.  And are significantly more likely to retain consciousness.  Among the patients who have them three-quarters left the hospital with some form of consciousness.  Over forty percent recovered some of their neurological function.  This research gives new hope for families.  Let’s pray it results in fewer patients being warehoused or left to die by intentional neglect.

Trying to normalize abortion, feminists advocate openly telling your abortion story.  Turns out they can brag about abortion, except with their own children.  Raven Snook an “unabashedly” pro-abortion feminist said when her daughter asked if she was ever pregnant with another baby she panicked and quickly changed the subject.  Could it be that Snook feared her daughter would never look at her the same way again?  How do you tell a child she was loved but her sister wasn’t so we killed her?  That conversation is different when it’s accompanied by sorrow and repentance and telling your child abortion was a huge mistake.  But when it’s not.  When the mother calls abortion good, she can expect her living children to look sideways at her, wondering why her love has boundaries.

Earlier I asked you to pray regarding a so-called “black mass” to be held by satanists at the Kansas State Capitol and promised an update.  Here it is.  The event was intended to protest pro-life legislation passed in the state.  Only twenty people showed up to support the satanist group.  They were far outnumbered by Christian counter protesters.  Afterward, Michael Stewart, the head satanist entered the capitol.  He was welcomed in but told he was not to protest.  Stewart quickly started reading a blasphemous so-called prayer.  A young pro-lifer attempted to snatch the papers out of Stewart’s hands.  The satanist began punching the young man in the face and Stewart was quickly arrested and hauled off.  The end result was a black eye for the satanists.  Thanks for your prayers.

For years mainline Protestant denominations have hemorrhaged members.  In less than a decade the United Methodist Church lost a third of its workforce.  In part it’s because of their unscriptural stand on cultural issues, like abortion.  How do they get these lost sheep back?  Episcopalian Bishop Sean Rowe said, “It’s paying attention to what is new and working, and lifting that up.”  What dribble!  These churches must preach the law and gospel in its truth and purity.  Americans are hungry for Jesus, not a passing fad.  They can get that at a singles bar.  They need to hear from the pulpit that abortion kills an innocent baby.  They need to hear the blood of Jesus covers the sin of abortion, that there’s hope and healing.  Feed them the Bread of Life and they’ll come.

The very thought of late-term abortion is a horror to imagine.  And it’s compounded when babies survive this gruesome procedure.  Pro-aborts say it’s extremely rare and done on babies who’re going to die anyway.  Not true says research published in the pro-abortion American Journal of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.  They studied late-term abortions in hospital settings in Canada where live births have to be reported.  A shocking more than one in ten babies survive the late-term abortions.  More than one in ten!  But not to worry the so-called doctors said.  A lethal injection of poison into the baby’s heart will insure a dead child.  How can these abortionists and those who support these horrors look themselves in the mirror?!  More information at our broadcast link at lifeissues.org.

I told you I’d keep you posted on developments with Texans charged with committing illegal abortions.  Here’s the latest.  In addition to the midwife, two others have been charged with a second-degree felony – an employee of the facility and a nurse practitioner.  The employee of the center is an illegal alien.  Each of these people can be sentenced to up to twenty years and fined one hundred thousand dollars for every abortion committed.  State Attorney General Ken Paxton said all three “falsely presented themselves as licensed medical professionals” providing illegal abortions.  Paxton reiterated his promise to his fellow Texans to do all within his power to hold illegal abortionists accountable for their dangerous actions.  Please pray for this tireless pro-life leader.

If you need further proof that prayer is an effective tool, listen to this.  Planned Parenthood of Greater New York fired its CEO who was accused of financial mismanagement, racism, and bullying.  Then the Manhattan facility, Planned Parenthood’s flagship killing center, closed for most of January and February, and isn’t committing surgical abortions in March.  For months now the Goshen center has been “closed until further notice.”  Earlier four New York Planned Parenthoods were shuttered to stop the financial hemorrhaging.  It didn’t work.  Now if prayer that God would hamstring Planned Parenthood in a solidly pro-abortion state worked, it can be successful in your area too.  Please pray that God will reign supreme and close down the entire abortion industry.

Here’s something that demands your earnest prayers.  A satanic group in Kansas is holding a blasphemous ritual at the state capital next week they call “black mass.”  It’s in direct response to the Kansas pro-life legislature passing laws to protect the state’s unborn citizens and their parents.  Kansas Governor Laura Kelly called the event an “expression of hatred and…bigotry.”  The satanists wanted to conduct this vile event inside the capital but were pushed outside.  That’s a step in the right direction, but you and I must be in prayer.  That’s why I’m coming to you now.  Between now and next Friday, March twenty-eight, please join me in earnest prayer that the plans of these blasphemous satanists will be foiled.  Let’s boldly go now to the throne of God.

A nonpartisan race to fill a spot on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is getting tons of attention.  It’ll likely be the most expensive judicial election in America’s history.  And two notable billionaires are weighing in.  Both Elon Musk and George Soros have contributed mightily to opposing sides.  The outcome will guide the state’s highest Court into the future.  I’m not advocating for one candidate over another.  But this race is an example that in a post-Roe world, local politics has taken on a much higher priority.  And in local races your vote carries more impact.  The Lord has given you and me the honor of electing the people who will direct our communities, states and nation.  Let’s all do our part to honor God in the voting booth as we should in everything else we do.
