Eleven years ago God gave Janet Porter an idea to keep hearts beating with the nation’s first Heartbeat Bill introduced in Ohio in 2011.
Since then, fourteen states have passed Heartbeat Laws including her home state of Ohio:
- Arkansas (2013)
- North Dakota (2013)
- Iowa (2018)
- Kentucky (March, 2019)
- Mississippi (March, 2019)
- Ohio (April, 2019)
- Georgia (May, 2019)
- Missouri (May, 2019)
- Louisiana (May, 2019)
- Tennessee (2020)
- South Carolina (February, 2021)
- Oklahoma (April, 2021)
- Idaho (April, 2021)
- Texas (May, 2021) ENACTED
While the other Heartbeat Laws are making their way through the court system, the Texas Heartbeat Law is NOW ENACTED! That means that more than 100 Texas babies each day, more than 40,000 babies each year will live and not die!
This is the most significant pro-life victory in the last 50 years.
God gave us what has been missing in the pro-life movement for nearly 50 years—a clear pathway to victory.
While 13 states have criminal penalties for violating their Heartbeat Laws, Texas went to the heart of the issue—the motivation of the abortion industry—money. Right now in Texas—not someday—but right now—anyone who violates the Texas Heartbeat Law can be sued (by any citizen). If that citizen wins their suit, the abortionist must pay them $10,000. But not just the abortionist, but ANYONE who aids or abets in the abortion—including the staff, “clinic escorts,” and insurance companies who pay for it!
During the oral arguments on our bill, Justice Kagan spoke against the “geniuses” who wrote the Heartbeat Law, who found the “kink in the armor.” She railed against those who would violate the “command” issued by the court. They don’t realize that the Supreme Court doesn’t issue “commands,” they issue opinions–often bad opinions which have been overturned hundreds of times by the same court. Please continue to pray for the justices whose latest rulings signal that Roe v. Wade will be sent to the ash heap of history where it belongs.
Legislators in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Alaska, Michigan, New Mexico, Kansas, Virginia, Oregon, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, New York, California, and Montana are now joining the effort to keep hearts beating. The momentum is now unstoppable!
