I Prayed have prayed
Lord thank you for Governor DeWine's heart to protect life. Thank you for the state legislatures that are producing bills to support the unborn and please help pro-life legislation to grow in other states.

Ohio’s so-called “heartbeat” abortion bill was approved by the state legislature on Wednesday and is now headed to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk.

The House approved the measure 56-39, and later, the Senate agreed to House changes, 18-13. DeWine, who took office in January, has said he plans to sign the bill.

DeWine’s predecessor, Republican John Kasich, vetoed the bill twice. He said such a law would create a costly court battle and likely be found unconstitutional.

The bill — which makes no exceptions for rape or incest — is among the most restrictive abortion measures in the country.

In addition to Ohio, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississipi, Missouri, South Carolina and West Virginia are among the states that have either passed “heartbeat” legislation or are hoping to do so.

This comes as states like New York, New Mexico, Maryland, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia, among other Democratic-leaning states, are supporting bills that allow abortion up to the moment of birth.The earliest bans on heartbeat abortion, in Iowa and North Carolina, have been blocked by the courts. Three more states — Mississippi, Kentucky and Georgia — have more recently passed bills amid growing national momentum.

as a life long resident of Ohio, 7 decades +, I praise God for Gov. Mike DeWine signing the Heartbeat Bill. It’s a big step in the right direction to get the murder of our children completely stopped. May other state governments be courageous enough to do what is right. No matter how a child is conceived, Almighty God has a plan and purpose for that life. One example is of a woman who was raped and gave birth to a son. His name is James Robison. Read his life story and see how God has used him to make a difference in the lives of millions of people.
I would hope man would realize that God knows what he is doing, but the Word doesn’t say that; so we must continue to pray, trusting the Lord is in control and His will shall be done. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!!

Praise you Lord God. We ask that this is a door that no man can shut, and that Ohio and all the other States mentioned will be save zones for pregnant women and their unborn children. Bless this Governor and all other Governors that follow suit. In Jesus name, amen
