Hawaii Senate Passes Bill Forcing Pregnancy Centers to Promote Abortions

0 Comment

Sailing through the Democrat-controlled senate on a 22-3 tally, a Hawaiian bill that would force the state’s five pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise taxpayer-funded abortions was sent along to the house Tuesday in Honolulu.

Patterned along similar lines with a 2015 law in California that is likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court as soon as this year, the Hawaiian senate bill (SB 501) was originally introduced with a parallel house bill, which was on hold as the senate bill went through.

JOHN 14:18 NIV
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

You are not facing life all alone — no matter how you feel.

“But why does God allow things to look so bleak? Why doesn't He
help me sooner?”

God desires faith and trust from us. Without testing times we
would have no opportunity to show our fait..

Editors’ note: Last month a unanimous jury sentenced Dylann Roof to death for killing nine black churchgoers as they attended Bible study in a Charleston, South Carolina church. The reaction to Roof’s sentencing has rekindled discussions—even among victims’ families—about whether Christians should support capital punishment.

Last month nearly 300 minister and church leaders from Caribbean nations sent a letter to President Trump expressing concern about the State Department’s efforts to “coerce our countries into accepting a mistaken version of marriage.” And yesterday the Washington State Supreme Court ruled against a Christian florist wh..

In 1975, when he was just 13 years old, Ed Copeland spent his summer working in the cornfields of Illinois. Although he eventually became a lawyer, a pastor, and a TGC Council member, he was first a detasseler, removing the top most part from corn plants to encourage cross-pollination and higher yields.

It was “grueling and tedious” work, Ed says, but it prepared him for the pastorate.

Perseverance

Detasseling was “a rite of passage” in the Corn Belt. Teenage boys “too young to work at fast-..
