HEARTBEAT OF A NATION
This past week Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, a “Pro-Life Republican,” sabotaged the Ohio Heartbeat Bill. This bill presented the strongest antiabortion legislation in the nation, prohibiting abortions where there is a detectable fetal heartbeat, as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. It would have certainly sparked a Supreme Court contest, challenging the “viability standard” set by Roe v. Wade. Nonetheless, I tell you the defeat of the Heartbeat Bill is accordance with God’s will, because our Savior will not accept half-measures. He never has. We The Church will either go all the way for Life or we suffer sword, famine and plague for forty years of innocent bloodshed.
If you have ears for the truth, the Heartbeat Bill didn’t flatline because Niehaus implemented some cheap political stunt. Who is Niehaus that he should oppose God? The Heartbeat Bill is dead because God will never endorse a law that does not beat to His rhythm. Not only did the Heartbeat Bill neglect God’s definition of Life, tying Life to a ‘heartbeat’ instead of ‘conception,’ but it also treats the murder of the unborn as a fifth degree felony, the same as one caught distributing marijuana. It also exonerates the mother and does nothing to prohibit chemical (or medication) abortions. Even in a supposed case of endangering the life of the mother you have to understand that God’s design is perfect. He specifically tied the life of the mother to the life of the child. If the mother dies, so does the baby in her womb. Therefore, any effort to preserve the mother’s life must be extended to the unborn infant. You will not find a viable argument to the contrary, because God does not view the unborn as parasites. They are His children!
Here’s a brief history on the Heartbeat Bill you won’t find anywhere except in our forthcoming book, The Life:
