Kansas To Appeal Judge’s Ruling Blocking Abortion Law

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.

The Kansas Attorney General has filed an intent to appeal the decision of a local judge that blocked the enforcement of a new abortion law.

The notice filed by lawyers representing Attorney General Derek Schmidt states they intend to ask the Court of Appeals to overturn the ruling of District Judge Larry Hendricks.  He had put the law on hold until he hears a lawsuit filed by a New York group on behalf of two Kansas abortionists.

The Kansas law bans what is known as “dismemberment abortion”, defined as “knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child….”

“This is a horrific procedure,” Gov. Sam Brownback’s spokesman Eileen Hawley told reporters. “He hopes the nation follows suit.”

“The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that states are able to put in place regulations on the abortion industry, which is exactly what SB 95 does,” Sen. Garrett Love, the bill’s sponsor, said in an e-mail to the Wichita Eagle. “ … Kansans want to protect life at all stages and don’t want unborn babies to have their lives ended in this manner.”
