Judge blocks new Florida law that delays abortions

A Florida judge is blocking a new state law that requires women to wait 24 hours before getting an abortion.

Chief Circuit Judge Charles Francis on Tuesday blocked the law one day before it was scheduled to take effect.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida and the Center for Reproductive Rights sued after Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed it into law. They argued that the law violates the right to privacy guaranteed in the state constitution by interfering with the right of women to undergo the procedure.

“We are very pleased that the court saw this law for what it is: an unconstitutional attack on the right of Florida women to make their own choices about their healthcare, including abortion,” ACLU of Florida Legal Director Nancy Abudu said in a written statement.

Florida was scheduled to become the 27th state to have a mandatory waiting period and backers of the measure had predicted the law would withstand a legal challenge.

Note that the judge doesn’t also hold a right of privacy for waiting periods on firearms.

One nation under God.

Pray for our nations, for actions like this will bring down the sulphur fire of Sodom and Gomorrah on the United States.

The right of a woman to murder her unborn is the only right liberals hold to be absolute.

This judge would have weighed in on the practice of giving babies to Moloch back in Old Testament Days. I think Satan knows his days are numbered. The victory has already been won by Jesus dying on the cross and overcoming the world. “In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Moloch Image (check this out . . .worth the click to see the image) https://carm.org/christianity/miscellaneous-topics/moloch-ancient-pagan-god-child-sacrifice

Article below:

"Moloch, the ancient pagan God of child sacrifice." Moloch was one of the false gods that Israel would worship during its periods of apostasy. This false deity is associated with Ammon in 1 Kings 11:7, "Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon." One of the practices of the cult that worshipped Moloch was to sacrifice their children. Of course, this was forbidden by God's word: Lev. 18:21 says, "Neither shall you give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord." (See also Lev. 18:21; 20:2-5; 2 Kings. 23:10; Jer. 32:35). In some passages the reference is clearly to a deity to whom human sacrifice was made, particularly in the Valley of Hinnom on the SW of the Jerusalem hill (2 Ki. 23:10; Je. 32:35) at a site known as Topheth (‘fire pit’ in Syriac).1 The ancients would heat this idol up with fire until it was glowing, then they would take their newborn babies, place them on the arms of the idol, and watch them burn to death. I can't help but compare today's abortion massacre to the sacrifice of children by these ancient pagans. In both, innocent life is destroyed for the gain of the parent. --------
