26 states may ban abortion in the event of Roe being overturned, according to the pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute. This is great news! Now let’s pray that number grows.
From The Wall Street Journal. A number of states have bans on abortion that predate Roe v. Wade. Such bans have been unenforceable for the past five decades, but states could look to revive them if Roe is overturned. The bans likely wouldn’t go into effect immediately if the Supreme Court abolishes federal abortion rights, leaving it up to states to decide. Instead, they would likely require some type of new state action, like an attorney general issuing an opinion saying that abortion was illegal in the state. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan—Governor, abortion-rights groups suing over dormant 91-year-old law, Texas—Law is permanently enjoined by a court order.
Some states have so-called trigger laws on the book s, which would ban all or nearly all abortions in the state if Roe v. Wade is overturned. The law would go into effect either automatically or by quick state action. Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming.
Instead of outright bans, some states have sought to set narrower limits on when abortions can be performed during a pregnancy. Many of these laws have been blocked in court, but could take effect if Roe is overturned. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah.
As many Republican-led states have pushed for restrictions on abortions, Democratic lawmakers elsewhere have sought to create new protections establishing a right to the procedure through state laws or, in rare instances, a constitutional amendment. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington.

FATHER GOD please forgive us for our tax dollars being used to pay for abortions. Even though we aren’t willingly paying, it is nevertheless our money funding murder! As the year of Jubilee for abortion is coming, we command rest forever as this barbaric practice is done away with forever in JESUS NAME! (Read about the 50th year rest for the land; all debt being forgiven; etc., in the Bible) Please open women’s and men’s eyes to realize it is their child they are killing. Give them dreams and visions of what they are about to do before they do it. Speak to them about purity and abstinence before they get involved in sexual activity, which will actually make their marriage stronger. Let laborers get busy witnessing for CHRIST and teaching the whole counsel of GOD, the entire Bible to all we can in JESUS MIGHTY NAME!
Well said, in Jesus Name! Amen!
Father I come to the courts of Heaven and the counsel of the Lord for this time. I pray for the return of our nation to the principles of our Father in heaven on which our nation was founded and for the constitution to be recognized as the guiding light with God for such a time as this. For the protection of our Supreme Court justices and there families for the hearts and souls of the ones who are in authority from the office of the highest in the land down that they don’t you why but they are repenting for wisdom and direction for Elon Musk to stay strong and for Jesus to find his way to him, for all the families hurting with marriages relationships with their children and siblings for unity with folks from all walks and life that we do not allow the enemy to break our faith and keep us steadfast that we continue to pray for the one’s in authority at this very time to not grow weary but have wings to of eagles that churches in towns and cities counties and states come together in the name of Jesus at this very time for the reset of our nation. And to have courage and patience for one’s who cause mayhem and distraction from the truth. That we continue to stand with the Jewish people and Israel the Jewish community in our nation who are lost.!That we be the salt and light in the for America and the nations I plead the blood of Jesus over these prayers. In Jesus name Amen
What a beautiful heart felt prayer. I am agreement with you and I also plead the blood of Jesus over these prayers, In our Lord Jesus Christ name, I pray! AMEN
Jesus I pray there will be breakthroughs for Life, Prosperity, healthcare, jobs, and Church. We pray for the states that has stepped up and set a precedent for others. We pray convictions will gain strength as they ask God to lead them.
It is the 50th year of Roe. This is the jubilee! Proclaim liberty throughout the land!
Praying 🙏 this in Jesus Name! Amen!
If a person travels across state lines to get an abortion, they should stay in that state or face criminal charges if they return.
I so agree, and I pray for all the demonic lost souls that believe Abortion is not murder. I pray they will wake up and realize blood is going to be on their hands and they will stand before our God in Heaven, just like I will. In the name of Jesus, I am praying for the overturn of RVW.
It’s about time when the government, rather than murder little babies and pay all the cost, pay for birth control and stop the butchering? There is no life without blood. No abortion that doesn’t require blood! And God is watching. He’ll rule on our nation by our laws! Isn’t it time we start behaving?
Protect your uunborn childrnLord,and have merry on the parents,Mother and father
Yes Amen 🙏
Father, we thank you that the judges are deciding against Roe vs Wade; keep them in that decision! And may Congress be held back from putting forth a law protecting abortion and denying any state to protect babies. Thank you for hearing our prayers and we glorify your name!
Let’s pray for these Judges, as they are being threatened, the democrats are threating to burn them down… let’s pray for that the Judges will all stand strong in their decisions and they will feel the prayers of all that are praying for them. Praying for Justice for them and for our country!
Lord Jesus, You alone know what an abomination that abortion is in this nation and world. I pray that You would give the Supreme Court justices wisdom and guidance from Holy Spirit in their decision making. This direction is needed in all of their decision-making, especially this ruling. I pray also for the decisions which are being made at the state level of government regarding abortion. Please, let Your will prevail.
Father God,
I’m reminded of Abraham and Sarah when they were not patient to trust and wait on You to fulfill Your promise of a child in Your timing. They decided to do take matters into their own hands.
For years now we have been witness to seeing many people not trusting You for the outcome of their circumstances when it comes to an unwanted, unexpected or difficult pregnancy. Many do not know You as their heavenly Father and that You are more than able to do miracles during tough times. That You can turn around what seems to be impossible to bare and make it possible. Even to bring unexpected joy.
Father we need You in our lives to love us, encourage us, increase our faith in You and Your Son Jesus, give us Your wisdom and strength, direct our paths so that we can bring You honor and glory.
We thank you for those who will seek You, to know You and Your will, to repent for any sin done in Your sight. That they may experience what freedom truly is. You Lord, give us life. Forgiven. Loved.
Amen
One day at a time, that’s our prayer. “Lord, lay bare Your Holy ARM in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of OUR GOD.” Is. 52:10.. In JESUS name. AMEN
If you really want to save babies, hold the fathers accountable.
Enforce the child support guidelines.
Stop one night stands, and sex without consequences for men.
Hold the dead beat dads accountable.
The moms need the support of the whole community, AND the father.
Some of the fathers are not given the chance to be a dad when the mother alone chooses abortion; using the same lying argument, my body, my choice! FATHER GOD thank YOU for doing completely away with abortion, protecting the Supreme Court Justices and their families, and stopping all tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood, making all taxpayers involuntarily guilty of being partakers of murder! Please forgive us in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Father God thank you for this time, these cases and these brave, compassionate, reasonable people in MS to care for women and babies in the womb, to bring this case. Forgive us for past bad laws. We don’t deserve your mercy Lord but we need it!
Please give Grace and favor to of your wisdom to bathe the justices souls, minds especially, to free them of the lies and plainly stupid, stinking thinking of the past 49 years of abortion ‘arguments’ and loose your Holy Spirit, truth, real authentic caring love and soundness of mind to write good, healthy, life affirming law, unanimously!
This is not too hard for you Lord. So that everyone will know the Almighty is still our God in America. We do ask in Jesus name for a fresh outpouring of fear of God, the Maker of us all and Master of more and more…til You come Lord Jesus, Maranatha!!!
To really save the unborn babies, hold the FATHERS accountable.
Men need to be more than sperm donors, leaving mothers to raise babies on their own, holding down 3 part time jobs, and never being or having enough to be good parents.
Parenting was not meant to be done alone.
The father needs to be held accountable by the community.
It takes a village.
God create one man and one woman, one life, one husband and one wife. And all what we did against God is guilty.
Please don’t spew out the village garbage. “it takes a village” is just liberals demanding to raise your children themselves. It takes one man and one woman to raise a child.
As I counseled mother’s and performed ultrasounds for a pregnancy resource center what you’re saying is not what I heard. In most cases the moms wanted to keep going to school without interruption, wanted to live their lives without the unplanned baby. Many times it was parents putting on the pressure for abortion. Many of the fathers wanted their babies. Majority of time it was about convenience that led mothers to do this- mother’s that had a chance to see their babies in the womb. It’s the mom that enters into a contract with a doctor to kill her baby- totally premeditated murder. A village is not what they need. It needs to be dealt with as it is. It is murder.
I pray daily that the Lord our God, in Jesus’ name would bind up all abortion from the earth as he would bind it in heaven. And I thank him with all my love, that he will do this! Amen and Hallelujah

Never to get sex before marriage and never divorce after marriage, we will always pray to seek the right one to marry, then what do we need to do?
Father, we thank You and we praise You for Your great love. Because of our relationship with Your Son, Jesus, we ask for the murder of unborn children be stopped now. We rejoice in the truth that You reign in the affairs of man and You give us victory in this matter today.

If you think the government should be in charge of this very private matter, then hold men equally accountable. Don’t put it all on the moms.
NO MORE UNPAID CHILD SUPPORT
NO MORE DEAD BEAT DADS
The government would do better going after the dads.
Deb, I think I know what you mean. It takes two people who to have sex and the male counterpart has a responsibility in the decision of the unborn child that was created. Yes, unfortunately, there are a lot of absentee fathers. On the other hand; I know of countless stories where the father( sperm donor, as you stated) did not get a say in keeping their unborn child. Their girlfriend, what have you, stated the famous line, ” My body, my choice. ” The problem really isn’t men, the problem is a godless society. We don’t value God’s design and God’s laws. He set them forth to protect us( all, including the unborn) keeping sexual relationships in marriage, between a husband and wife. Abortion is an abomination to the Lord. I sincerely pray, all abortions comes to an end.
