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 abortionist called the “Gosnell of Texas” in reference to convicted murder Kermit Gosnell who killed babies born alive has been shut out of performing abortions in Texas.
Douglas Karpen has been unable to obtain admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of his clinics, effectively banning him from performing the abortion procedures. However, the clinics have found other abortionists with privileges allowing the centers to continue to end the lives of babies via abortion.
Former employees of Karpen’s clinics have come forward to report multiple times that Karpen has killed babies born alive in his clinics. They report he has also violated the laws against late-term abortions.
Harris County District Attorney’s office officials said that they did not find enough evidence at the clinics to back the allegations. However, unlike Pennsylvania authorities that raided the clinics of Gosnell before announcing the investigation, Texas officials announced it first so Karpen knew the searches would be coming.
Karpen and his staff reportedly spent the time between the announcement and the raid cleaning up the facilities and disposing of evidence.
Karpen is currently defending against a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims that he ruptured her uterus during a late-term abortion in February 2013 and then did not tell her about the life-threatening mistake.
