Pray Against H.R. 3755

 

‘The most radical abortion bill of all time’: House to vote this week on codifying ‘right’ to abortion

The House this week will vote on a bill that the U.S. bishops’ conference warns would effectively impose abortion on-demand throughout pregnancy.

The Women’s Health Protection Act (H.R. 3755), introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), recognizes the “statutory right” of women to have abortions. It also states the “right” of doctors, certified nurse-midwives, nurse practitioners and doctor’s assistants to perform abortions. It prohibits many limitations on this right, such as state pro-life laws requiring ultrasounds or waiting periods before abortions.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, announced the House vote on the bill earlier this month after a Texas law went into effect restricting abortions after detection of a fetal heartbeat; a fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The Texas law is enforced through private civil lawsuits.

After the Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the law on Sept. 1, Pelosi vowed to bring up the Women’s Health Protection Act and “enshrine into law reproductive health care for all women across America.” The bill is scheduled to be voted on this week in the House.

The following prayer was written by a sister in Christ who is a member of Congress:

We agree with her heartcry and ask all of you to do the same. In addition, please contact your own member of Congress TODAY and tell them to vote AGAINST "The Women’s Health Protection Act" (H.R. 3755)


Dear Friends,

Pray for America on Friday morning (9am EDT) as the House debates legislation that would override state laws protecting life and mandate abortion on demand until birth. Pray that the words of our mouths and the mediations of our hearts will be pleasing in God's sight. Pray that our speech will be with grace, seasoned with salt so we will know how to answer with grace and truth. Pray for a time of hope and HEALING! 

Stir our hearts and move our spirits as in Exodus 35:21 "All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord." Exodus 35:22

We pray for conviction of sin and a time of
repentance in the U.S. Both men and women came - all whose hearts were willing." Pray the Spirit of the Living God will come and pierce the darkness and fall afresh on the House chamber of the United States of
America. 

May we be defenders of truth, humility, and justice. Help us, Lord God Almighty. We can do nothing without You!  Come Holy Spirit. Plow the hard ground of our hearts. Break our hearts for the things that break Your heart.

Break through on Friday in the House of Representatives - may Friday be a new day -- break through with hope and healing!  We pray for new hearts and new minds on Friday!

May Republicans and Democrats hear Your voice above any other voice and listen and obey! Amen!
