Abolition News – January 28th-February 3rd

Abolition Headlines

The Standing for Freedom Center published an article by William Wolfe this week titled Equal Protection for the Pre-Born Coming to Kentucky? Freshman Lawmaker Leads Abolition Bill.

Last week we mentioned an article in WORLD Magazine written by Leah Savas concerning abolition. This week Leah was interviewed on WORLD Radio about the article in a segment called Efforts to Abolish Abortion.

Apologia Radio recorded an episode Thursday with Jeff Durbin and Zachary Conover (End Abortion Now) covering recent inconsistent comments made on the issue of abortion by Al Mohler, Kevin DeYoung, and Bart Barber. You can access the recording on Apologia’s YouTube.

Pro-Abortion Headlines

On Tuesday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the PRO Act, which immediately enshrines the right to abortion into Minnesota law. PRO stands for Protect Reproductive Options. This act keeps abortion legal up until birth and codifies abortion into state law. Please pray God would raise up more abolitionists to fight in Minnesota.

Pro-Life Headlines

This week, the Pro-Life Charlotte Lozier Institute reported that Pro-Life OBGYN Dr. Ingrid Skop testified in favor of the Nebraska Heartbeat Act by denying the biological fact that life begins at fertilization and instead stating the quote below:

“The Nebraska Heartbeat Act requires that human life be protected at the point of a detectable heartbeat. Death is diagnosed when cardiac activity has ceased. It is reasonable to conclude that life may be diagnosed, and protected, when a heartbeat has begun.”

Abolition Bills Update

Last week, we created a post called Tracking Abolition Bills – 2023. It will be continually updated throughout the legislative season.

Abolition Organization Spotlight

End Abortion Now “is a movement dedicated to saving unborn children and proclaiming the Gospel.

End Abortion Now started as a grassroots ministry outside abortion clinics. Today, we are a movement of hundreds of churches and thousands of Christians working toward the same goal: to end abortion now.”
