Update on Pain Capable Child Protection Act

Last week was our annual West Virginians for Life Day at the Legislature in Charleston. The capitol is a very beautiful, but it is sick inside. We had hundreds of people there to encourage our representatives to “Vote to Discharge” a bill from our Health Committee. The bill is the Pain Capable Child Protection Act, written to stop abortion after twenty weeks post-fertilization. It failed to make it out of committee by a vote of 48 to 48. Any bills written by West Virginians for Life are noted into law, if they can get out of committee. That is where they get us every time. (They have been doing this for 29 years.) We got word last night that they are going to allow a “reconsideration” of the bill, tomorrow. Please pray. Pray for the pro-life delegates to be bold and unyielding. Pray that Satan’s plans will be thwarted and that the enemies will be confused. Every year that pro-life bills die in committee, babies are dying from inaction. I thank God for what He is going to do. Thanks.
