Praise the Lord! The news today is good! From www.ChristianIndex.com –
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a U.S. Supreme Court decision on June 24 overturning Roe v. Wade cleared the way for Georgia’s law to take effect.
The Georgia law is expected to stop close to 90 percent of the state’s abortions. It bans the procedure once a heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Exceptions were included in the law that allow abortions in cases of rape or incest, when the woman’s life is in danger, or when the baby isn’t “viable.”
The three-judge panel said the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade “makes clear no right to abortion exists under the Constitution, so Georgia may prohibit them.”
What does this mean for First Care Women’s Clinic?
A Statement from Lori Parker, Executive Director
First Care Women’s Clinic will continue to change the hearts and minds of the women and men we serve to create a culture of life in our community. We will dedicate ourselves to providing hope and support to women facing the crisis of unplanned pregnancies and to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Aborted children have been the casualty of the symptoms of a much deeper problem in our society and we now have the opportunity to address the problem in a more tangible and life-changing way. Church, we need you now like never before! Please stand with us.
Thank you, God, for hearing our cries and answering our prayers.
