Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. ~ Isaiah 6: 8-9
Steven Ertelt, LifeNews: The New Jersey state legislature gave final approval to a bill yesterday that will legalize killing babies in abortions up to birth. Governor Phil Murphy is expected to sign the measure into law this week even though he claims he’s a practicing Catholic. As LifeNews reported the bill will legalize abortions up to birth and allowing non-doctors to kill babies in abortions. The legislation guarantees “the fundamental right of reproductive autonomy,” even though women already have reproductive autonomy and choice prior to the decision to end a baby’s life in an abortion as reproduction has already taken place.
The radical measure also could lead to forcing New Jersey residents to fund abortions with their tax dollars. If the state Department of Banking and Insurance deems abortion funding necessary, then state residents could be compelled to pay for killing unborn children in abortions with their tax funds. The bill also allows “all qualified health care professionals,” to conduct abortions. Although abortion advocates have said for decades that abortions should be “between a woman and her doctor,” the legislation now allows non-doctors to do abortions — putting the life and health of women at risk. Yesterday, Murphy said he will sign the bill this week, calling the need for killing more babies in abortions “more urgent than ever.”

DGH: Under such an abominable government, everything’s up for grabs based upon the collective morality (or, more often than not, immorality) of today’s presidents, legislators, and judges, which can and often does change with every generation.

Steven Ertelt: The governor does not state in his biographical data that he is Catholic, but according to him his parents were “strict Roman Catholics and big fans of politics.” So, we did a little digging to discover whether or not Catholic principles affected this man in any way given the fact that he is a strong, public supporter of assisted suicide and Planned Parenthood, among other things. Lo and behold, Murphy claimed his Catholic identity in a tribute he and his wife wrote upon the death of Monsignor Philip Lowery, who was a pastor, a mentor, and head of chaplains for the New Jersey State Police. So yes, even as a professed Catholic, Murphy seems to have separated himself from the teachings of the Catholic Church.
This is tragic for his soul, sends a false message to the people of New Jersey, and must not go unnoticed by the bishops of the state whose flock depends on them for leadership in times such as this. It called on all the Catholic leaders in New Jersey to deny him communion. “We prayerfully call upon the bishops of New Jersey to enforce Canon 915. We respectfully ask them to join together in a statement advising Governor Murphy that, if he does currently receive the body and blood of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, he may no longer receive Him until such time as he repents of his public support for the killing of the innocent and the vulnerable.”

DGH: Unlike the Bible, the Constitution is not an infallible standard. Returning to a more “purer” constitutionalism is not the answer. The answer is found in returning to Yahweh’s perfect law and altogether righteous judgments.

Steven Ertelt: Murphy has been rebuked before by a Catholic bishop, when he signed a bill legalizing assisted suicide. Bishop James Checchio of New Jersey’s Diocese of Metuchen was quick to condemn the governor’s action. Checchio described the new law as part of a “dangerous and frightening trend” and “a brazen attack against the sanctity of human life.” Speaking before the vote, Marie Tasy, executive director of New Jersey Right to Life, asked why lawmakers want to expand abortions when New Jersey already has the highest abortion rate in the U.S., according to the report. “Why do we want to have more?” Tasy asked, pointing to the nearly 50,000 abortions that occur in the state every year. This is a “really radical bill,” she said.
New Jersey Right to Life pointed to a recent USA Today editorial by the governor and Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver in which they admit the bill “expressly allows late term abortions” and keeps parents from being informed if their underage daughter has an abortion. “They don’t care that the people of NJ don’t support such an extreme edict!” the pro-life organization responded. According to NJ Advance Media, several Republicans tried to amend the bill in committee to include parental consent for minors, but Democrats blocked the action. New Jersey already has the highest abortion rate in the country and some of the most permissive pro-abortion laws.

DGH: Juridical injustices that often occur in the interim between a Supreme Court ‘bad decision’ and a ‘better decision’, can be overturned and made right by Constitutional amendment. (NJ Catholic Gov and his baby-killing state, for example). But history has proven the opposite more likely that those injustices would seldom, if ever, occur in a Biblical Court.

Steven Ertelt: Through a new coalition, Working Together for NJ, pro-lifers in the state have been working hard to stop the radical pro-abortion expansion, warning that it could lead to more human trafficking as well as more abortions. It’s “a human trafficker’s best friend. Sex slaves get pregnant. Human traffickers have to pay for the abortions as a result. But this legislation will require all New Jersey taxpayers to pay for the abortions of sex trafficking victims,” said the Rev. Gregory Quinlan of Center for Garden State Families, last year. Polls consistently show that most Americans oppose late-term abortions and taxpayer-funded abortions. A 2020 Gallop poll found that 55 percent of Americans think all or almost all abortions should be illegal, while just 29 percent think abortions should be legal under any circumstances. ACTION ALERT: Send your complaints to Governor Murphy listed below.

DGH: Nothing demonstrates this fundamental defect better than Roe v. Wade, which constitutionally has provided for an endless number of infants to be murdered. While Christian Constitutionalists wait for the Constitutional Republic’s system to (they hope) correct itself, millions more infants are being murdered.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. ~ Isaiah 6: 10
