Good News: Midwest States See Pro-Life Progress (663 hits)
by Jennifer Mesko, managing editor
Indiana lawmakers are working on measures to ban late-term abortions and defund Planned Parenthood. In Iowa, lawmakers in the House — which returned to Republican control last month — also are drafting legislation to further protect preborn babies. And in Ohio, Planned Parenthood is headed to trial after it reportedly failed to notify a girl's parents before performing an abortion.
"These developments should be an encouragement for pro-lifers who have long been fighting to uphold the worth and value of women and preborn children," said Dawn McBane, bioethics analyst for CitizenLink. "The majority of Americans now see themselves as pro-life."
Lawmakers in Indiana and Iowa are working to mirror Nebraska’s new pro-life law, which protects babies after 20 weeks unless the mom’s life is in danger. Nebraska’s law has prompted notorious abortionist LeRoy Carhart to make plans to leave the state and set up clinics in Indiana and Iowa. Indiana and Iowa prohibit late-term abortions, but allow abortionists to proceed if it’s determined that a woman’s “health” is in danger.
This is a blessing.

It is indeed a blessing to that somewhere people are actually doing something to protect the unborn since they can't speak for themselves. Since the days of Herod, men have been killing children in the womb eh? I'm sure it dates back longer than that, but that is as far as I can remember. There is still human sacrifice being practiced where children and babies are offered up to gods, but hopefully one day soon no one will be allowed to hurt the unborn.
