Iowa: Where the ‘Light of Life’ Shines on the ‘Darkness of Death’


Iowa Gov. (Republican) Kim Reynolds recently signed a bill that bans most abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected … which is often as early as 6-weeks into the pregnancy.  This ban is now one of the strictest abortion restrictions in the country.

Planned Parenthood (PP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have promised a court challenge on its constitutionality.

“I’m pro-life.  I’m proud to be pro-life.  I’ve made that very clear,” Reynolds commented prior to announcing that she would sign the legislation.

PP of the Heartland President Suzanna de Baca called the efforts to pass the heartbeat bill “shameful” at a rally at the Iowa State Capitol.  “It’s shameful that when Planned Parenthood heard lawmakers were introducing legislation to ban abortion, we were outraged – but we weren’t surprised,” she said.  “But I think many of us still never expected that Governor Reynolds would so swiftly jump to sign a bill that is so clearly unconstitutional.”  “I am here to tell her, Gov. Reynolds, if you sign this bill, Planned Parenthood will see you in court,” she emphasized.  “We will challenge this law with absolutely everything we have on behalf of our patients because Iowa will not go back.”

It appears to me: PP and ACLU is ‘law abiding’ ONLY when the law favors their diabolical position.

Well, for the sake of the unborn – Let ‘life’ and ‘death’ meet in the courtroom of truth; and let the ‘light of life’ shine on the ‘darkness of death.’

“This is the message we have heard from Him [the Lord] and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.  If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:5-7)
