The Heartbeat Bill
Ohio legislators passed a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected—sometime between 22 days and 6 weeks. It has been dubbed “The Heartbeat Bill”. Previous bills of this type have been blocked by federal Appeals Courts. However, the time seems right for a bill of this kind. President-elect Trump states he is pro-life, Governor Mike Pence has a very conservative record and Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat is empty on the Supreme Court—a seat Donald Trump will get to fill.
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” (Deuteronomy 30:19; NLT)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Pray that OH Governor John Kasich signs the Bill.
- Intercede for the doors to open just right for this legislation to pass. We need the right judges at the right time at each stage of challenge—and it will be challenged by those that do not understand God’s love of life.
- Pray Deuteronomy 30:19 over the nation and tell the Lord that we, as a nation, choose LIFE!
- Ask the Lord for the right Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Scalia.
A prayer you can pray:
Father, we pray that Governor Kasich operates in faith and signs the Heartbeat Bill into law. He is pro-life and we stand in the gap that he will not feel afraid of those who are threatening a legal challenge to this bill. We pray Deuteronomy 30:19 back to You, Lord, and we declare that we choose LIFE for the United States of America! We want to see the ending of abortion in our lifetimes. Thank You that you will show Donald Trump the perfect God-chosen candidate for Supreme Court Justice to take the place of Justice Scalia. In Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
Today’s decree:
The Heartbeat Bill’s future is secure, as the timing is God’s perfect timing, and the majority of the nation is choosing LIFE!
