White House Will Codify Federal Abortion Law

 White House Will Codify Federal Abortion Law

The White House announced Friday that the Biden Administration will codify Roe v. Wade, which would allow for legal abortions even in the event that the Supreme Court overturns the 1973 ruling. The Biden Administration made the announcement in a press statement put out by the White House. “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe,” reads the statement.
“In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack,” it continues. “We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care—including reproductive health care—regardless of income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status.”
The Trump Administration over the last four years has enacted policies and laws that are pro-life. As part of his administration’s efforts, Trump called for defunding Planned Parenthood and late-term abortions. Trump also nominated three pro-life judges to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said, “Today marks the grim 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since this ruling in 1973 over 62 million innocent lives have been lost due to abortion. Every single life matters including the unborn. We must protect the sanctity of life & prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions.”
“Today is the tragic anniversary of Roe v. Wade,” Lesko wrote. “I am proud to be a pro-life woman in Congress and fight for the right to life for every unborn baby. Every life is a gift from God, and I will continue to defend the sanctity of life at every stage.”
- Lord God Almighty in Heaven, we are deeply grieved at this announcement, coming from the White House on the actual 43rd anniversary of the signing of Roe v. Wade. This action is a literal slap in the face for those of us who value LIFE, and who have been "warring," in prayer over all of these years to see this ruling overturned.
Moreover, we have been told that once the decision of Roe v. Wade has been codified, it can never be reversed by the Supreme Court.
Help us, O Lord, we pray. Have mercy, Father God, have mercy! Send Your heavenly host to "do battle" against this move by the new president, and rescue those babies in the womb. In Your name, we cry out, amen and amen!
- "In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears." (Psalm 18:6)
