MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (BNO NEWS) — Alabama Governor Robert Bentley will soon sign a bill that bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, his press secretary said on Tuesday. It follows similar restrictions introduced in a number of other states.
The U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, and Alabama state laws currently allow abortion up to the stage of fetal viability, which is usually between 24 and 26 weeks gestation. The new bill will restrict abortions beginning on the first day of the 20th week of pregnancy.
“Governor Bentley is reviewing that bill along with all of the bills that passed the Legislature on the last day of the session,” said Jennifer Ardis when asked if Bentley would sign the bill. “He will sign this bill but has not as of today,” she added.
The abortion bill, which makes no exceptions for cases of rape and incest, was passed by lawmakers on Thursday during the final day of the session. It makes it a felony to perform an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, unless the woman is at risk of death or serious physical harm as a result of the pregnancy.
The ‘Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act’, which passed the Alabama legislature less than 30 minutes before the midnight deadline, will also require abortion providers to keep more extensive records on the number and type of abortions they have performed.
“Modern medical science furnishes us with compelling evidence that unborn children recoil from painful stimuli, that their stress hormones increase when they are subjected to any painful stimuli, and that they require anesthesia for fetal surgery,” said Mary Spaulding Balch, director of state legislation for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). “Therefore, the states have a compelling interest in protecting unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.”
Idaho, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma have passed similar restrictions earlier this year. Nebraska also passed a new law last year that put more restrictions on abortions.
Abortions should be banned entirely throughout the world. It is killing of the unborn, the innocent and vulnerable.
The word is de-populating the world.
Wars have killed enough men in those days and today, some men and women. The world needs to be populated. How else can it continue? Otherwise we will be responsible for human demise and non-population.
To be truthful, telling it like it is, the world as the U.S., Canada, Europe and other countries really did not need foreigners. They could have done very well with their very own people, if only there were no abortions in the world.
Have you thought that in the U.S. alone millions of babies were aborted and still more today; also some women died after committing abortions, even though they utilized an abortion clinic?
Consider the million of babies that were aborted. Consider the million of youths and adults who were not given the right-to-life. If they were alive today, it would not be necessary to encourage migration.
So abort babies and encourage migration? It is stupidity in itself. Some human beings have no common sense whatsoever. This primarily includes governments of the world who legislate abortions at whatever stage and so-called gay marriages. They are legislating to kill their own people, future citizens. How stupid can they be? It also includes those who call themselves Planned Parenthood whether one is an unmarried teenager or adult.
This pertains to every country of the world. The world pays for its sins, sooner or later.
Someone had asked Mother Teresa of Calcutta why a cure for cancer has not yet been found. This holy Nun replied: “Because they aborted the scientists.”
All illnesses, lack of peace and wars of all are caused by sin and such sin – abortion; no exception AIDS which is a scourge. There is no cure for AIDS.
Yes! God is punishing the world of people and we are not aware of that. We do not think beyond. Some prefer to think otherwise, close their eyes and ears and renounce the truth. Their day is coming.
