I Prayed have prayed
Father, thank you for Representative Van Drew's stand for the unborn and his support of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act. Touch the hearts of all those representatives in the House who have not signed this important piece of legislation.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s first legislative acts since he officially joined the Republican party was to sign a discharge petition that would circumvent Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and force a floor vote on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.”

This is the culmination of months of work by Liberty Counsel Action supporters and staff contacting him and educating him and many others in Congress.

Rep. Van Drew’s office confirmed this morning that he had signed the discharge petition asking for a full House vote on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” — which would require infants who survive attempted abortions to receive equal medical care and treatment as other newborn babies of equal gestational age. Any medical provider or staff who intentionally neglects, abandons, or murders a living newborn baby will be punished.

Liberty Counsel Action Chairman Mat Staver said, “Rep. Van Drew’s signature on the discharge petition is a great victory for saving precious children who survive abortions. Our supporters have been working tirelessly to encourage Rep. Van Drew and others to sign the discharge petition to bring the ‘Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act’ to the floor for a vote. I thank Rep. Van Drew for signing this petition. We are getting closer to having enough votes to bypass Nancy Pelosi to stop infanticide. Our work is not over until this bill is signed into law, said Staver.”
The discharge petition needs 218 signatures, and the New Jersey freshman’s signature now brings the total number of signatures to 204.

Father God we thank you for this man Mr. Van Drew. Thank you Lord for this act that is one step closer in our fight for life. Let him be one of many who turn away from the lies and distortion. Father I pray let many more walk away from a party who celebrate the shedding of innocent blood, and so much more. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers, bring an awakening to the government. In Jesus name, Amen.

    Yes! I agree with this prayer and ask Father that You protect Rep. Van Drew from all attacks of the enemy. Do not let fear of man keep others from joining him in standing for life.
    In Jesus name so be it.
