The current push to ban abortion in the states is an exciting one. Operation Rescue visited South Dakota and Mississippi as the legislative debates were underway and was privileged to be a part of history in the making. We plan additional trips to states where abortion ban efforts are still alive. Here is an update on the latest efforts, compiled on April 3, 2006. -OR Staff
ALABAMA
House Bill 791, Senate Bill 503
Bills that would ban abortion except to save a mother’s life were introduced in both houses of the Alabama Legislature in march, 2006. HB 791 pending in the House Health Committee while SB503 is awaiting action in the Senate Judiciary Committee. HB It is believed that this bill will not pass this year because both houses are controlled by Democrats.
GEORGIA
House Bill 93
Currently stalled in the House Judiciary (Non-Civil) Committee.
INDIANA
House Bill 1096
Failed to pass out of committee. Dead for this legislative year.
KENTUCKY
House Bills 489 and 750
Two versions of an abortion ban failed to pass out of the House Health and Welfare Committee before the end of the legislative session.
MICHIGAN
Referendum to Ban Abortion
Efforts are under way to gather enough signatures to place an abortion ban on the ballot in Michigan for state-wide vote. However, it is being done without the State’s Right to Life chapter, which has announced it will not support the referendum drive.
MISSISSIPPI
Senate Bill 2922
The House amended the bill to include rape and incest exemptions. Compromise language in the Senate could not be agreed upon. The bill is currently dead for this legislative year.
MISSOURI
Senate Bill 1248
This ban is currently stalled in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Energy and the Environment, where it was sent with the hope it would die.
OHIO
House Bill 228
This legislation is currently awaiting action by the House Health Committee.
SOUTH CAROLINA
House Bill 3213
HB 3213 passed the House in 2005, but was referred to a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee last April where it has stalled.
SOUTH DAKOTA
House Bill 1215
Passed into law and signed by Gov. Mike Rounds. Pro-abortionists are currently circulating a referendum petition to challenge the ban at the polls. Ogallala Sioux Indians have threatened to open an abortion mill on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to circumvent the abortion ban, but the South Dakota Attorney General has indicated that unless the abortionist is a Native American, he would be subject to arrest under the laws of South Dakota.
TENNESSEE
Senate Joint Resolution 127
This resolution would amend the State Constitution to indicate that it recognizes no right to abortion or right to abortion funding, except for rape and incest. It bans partial-birth abortion. Passed out of the Senate and is currently awaiting action in the House Public Health and Family Assistance Sub-Committee.
Sounds like there is PLENTY of room and much NEED for local defense for innocent life efforts to step up in state fights.
One state at a time like the SWC get one baby at a time?
Antibabykilling advocates- this is a good time to contact local respresentatives and voice an opinion against the slaughtering of our future.
How about banning reality TV in South Dakota?
That stuff kills brain cells.
THOSE MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE JUST LIKE HITLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert,
As I mentioned at the end of the last forum you disrupted (although a bit late), you do not speak for us or our cause. Hate is better suited for other sites and forums, not a pro-life site.
Thank you for you understanding, and please DO NOT do to this board what you did to the last one.
Thinking?
“They are just like Hitler?” Oh, you must mean in that they invade multiple countries, force the world into a war and perhaps even carry a serious STD.
Oh wait, you just meant to exploit the Jewish plight again. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
And what does reality TV have to do with anything?
Methinks you were being sarcastic in that entire post anyway, so my appologies for a legitimate response.
Billy J,
You have been decieved yet again. The first post is mine. The third and forth are an imposter.
I do not claim to be ‘prolife’ since I accept God’s justice of death for the baby killer. I am not anti-abortion either- since while sad when they happen- miscarriages are abortions and God’s natural provision in problem pregnancies.
I AM antibabykilling. I am pro-justice.
‘God does not make exceptions that tolerate injury to any pregnant mother, or any child in the womb. In fact CURSES “come upon” and “overtake” nations that refuse to administer justice (Deut. 28:15).
If God does not tolerate exceptions to the administration of justice concerning murder by abortion, then neither should His people.’

Thank you for openly displaying the horrific truth of what has “secretly” gone on for so many years in the abortion mills!! Nothing is secret “before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
We are pleased to support your efforts, and pray that God will bless you and other ministries like this one.
May childkilling come to a quick end, here and around the world.
So the Oglala Sioux Indians are planning to open an abortion clinic on their reservation. Sious Indians will be destroying future generations of Sioux Indians. Wherever he is, George Armstrong Custer must be smiling.
Sam
You are right. My post did not warrant a serious response.
As for exploiting the Jewish plight I am not the first one on this site to do that. He was a pro-lifer using dear old Adolph as a talking point to bolster his arguement.
