Well, things have come to a close, and I’m sorry to say it was not the result that we had hoped for. Chairman Jeff Leach allowed for HB 896 to die, and we will have to wait for two years before they can try something like this again.

I feel deeply sad about this, understanding that hundreds of thousands of fearfully and wonderfully made unborn children made in the image of God will be torn apart in their mother’s wombs in just my state. Let alone all of the U.S. and the rest of the world. I hope that you guys are able to keep up with what’s going on, but this fight over abortion is getting worse and worse all the time. In New York (I believe) children in the womb can be aborted up to the birth, and in other places, absolutely viable babies are aborted. It’s horrific to think that little premie babies are born and nurses and doctors fight for their lives, and at the same time there are doctors who will kill babies at the same age. I can’t understand how or why people can say that just a few inches of skin makes a life with a heartbeat, feeling, facial features, fingers and feet not a human. A heartbeat starts at 18 days. It is ridiculous what people are saying nowadays, they are just not willing to call a child in the mother’s womb a human. Some people have even discussed the idea of whether or not it is morally right to kill a baby after it has been born. I’m not sure if y’all heard the whole thing about that with the governor of Virginia I think it was, but it is chilling and disgusting.

I quite honestly feel very grieved tonight when I read about HB 896 dying, I encourage y’all to read the article!! This is very interesting and gives a lot more info about it.

Still, even though this is depressing, I tell myself that God is still sovereign, and even though the world is in a silent bloodbath right now, God sees each and every child that dies, and he doesn’t forget about them. Here’s one of my absolute favorite Andrew Peterson songs, and one of my favorite songs in general, I think this is very appropriate and encouraging to think about. This is really comforting for me tonight…

Lastly, thank you so much guys!! Knowing that y’all are praying about this is so encouraging to me!! Please keep on praying that this would end, just because HB 896 didn’t go through doesn’t mean that we should just stop praying now. I think it means we should be praying all the more!!

Anyway, thank you again guys, this has really been weighing on me for a while now, and I hope and pray that in the end we will win this fight and people will understand the sanctity of human life. Y’all praying with me blesses my heart.
