This veto is not necessarily the end. A veto override is possible so there is still reason to pray.

From LifeNews. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has vetoed a bill that would protect newborns who survive abortions from infanticide.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (House Bill 2313) received massive support in the legislature and a veto override is likely. The governor is a pro-abortion Democrat, but the legislation has enough support to override her potential veto. The bill passed with bipartisan support in a 86-36 vote Tuesday in the state House and a 31-9 vote late last month in the state Senate.

The bill requires any healthcare worker present at the baby’s birth to provide the same degree of care to preserve the baby’s life that would be provided to any other baby born at the same gestational age. Additionally, it requires the abortion facility to transport the baby to the hospital. The bill also adds criminal penalties to existing laws that protect born-alive infants to ensure abortion workers are held accountable if a baby is abandoned to die. …

HB 2313 would have required reporting of abortion survivors, something Kansas as well as the vast majority of states do not currently report. Four of the states that track born-alive numbers account for 111 babies surviving failed abortion over the last five years. The Abortion Survivors Network estimates 1,734 babies live through abortions each year and a total of 85,817 have survived an abortion.

But Kelly has no problem with abortions up to birth and letting babies die if they survive abortions. …

According to a McLaughlin poll, 77% of voters support legislation to ensure that a baby who survives a failed abortion be given the same medical treatment as any other baby born prematurely at the same age.

On Tuesday, Kansans for Life celebrated the victory of the bill’s passage in a Twitter post, writing, “This bill would provide legal protections for infants born alive regardless of the intent of delivery.” …

A few Democrat lawmakers objected to the legislation, arguing that requiring medical care for newborns would traumatize their parents.

“Regardless of the intent of the delivery, if the infant is born alive and only has minutes to live… the mother, the father, the family… have the right to ask for palliative care and embrace the infant until it is no longer breathing,” said state Rep. Susan Ruiz, D-Shawnee, according to KSNT. “Instead, the bill continues to require that the health providers secure transportation and immediately transport to a hospital.”

State Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, responded that parents would have time to hold their baby while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

During an earlier House debate in March, other Democrats claimed the protections would interfere with doctors’ and patients’ “healthcare decisions,” including state Rep. Christina Haswood, D-Lawrence. But Republican lawmakers said saving newborns’ lives is healthcare.

“How can we kill or watch a baby die? How can we justify doing that?” state Rep. Mike Thompson, R-Bonnor Springs, asked. …

Why is this not murder?

As I was praying this morning, I thought I would share details on what the words explain from Gods words. “Think of this; if an act stops a pulsing heart from beating, a growing body from forming, and a person from feeling, is this not murder? Abortion is indeed a highly sensitive topic that women argue about for the past years. While it does have varying opinions as to its morality, there is one thing that’s absolute and that’s how abortion stops life.. “”Psalm 139:13-16
English Standard Version
13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
i my inward parts;
you knitted me.
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
. Proverbs-6;16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, one of them is “and hands that shed innocent blood,” – Why is there any question about innocent BLOOD? If you read and pray over the scriptures you will find Abortion is Murder! “Over and over, scripture emphasizes that life begins before birth and condemns attempts to end an innocent life.

“As Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” This verse says that God knew each one of us before we were born. Life begins before birth.” I pray that the Governor “Laura Kelly who has vetoed a bill that would protect newborns who survive abortions; I pray and ask God to stop the Laura Kelly from vetoing -House Bill 2313). I take Authority with Mark 11:23-24 “Therefore, I say to you , all things for which you pray and ASK, Believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you. “ God I know and understand Faith, we need a miracle here to stop the Governor from Killing babies as well in other states. Illinois, NewMexico, CA. God I bind the satanic spirits that are ruling Kansas and many other states that approve of Abortions that is Murder.,The child cannot speak for her or his life, these children need the power of the Holy Spirit to STOP these deaths. We must speak with infused words from God’s power and life. Job: 6:25 Words I believe are the conduit of Authority, that is the reason why we must speak as our Lord wants us to say it. Our master God spoke these powerful words” Let there be light” how much more power do you need? We are molded in the image of God and we are given Authority from Jesus to use His words Nothing should be impossible with God. Luke 1-37. Father God we claim victory over ALL abortions are Being released and stopped with Gods words and will be stopped by the power of King Jesus. Dismantling the political forces that have pushed, forced with their arrogant systems and words of lies. I am opposed to the lies about abortion is a health care problem, which is one of the biggest lies ever. It is a Life problem which if women would get smart and stop having illegal sex or protect themselves. Ask God and He will help you. I know Our Father is hurt and tired of trying to get your attention to stop producing babies then killing them. Father God I pull down all strongholds that has been used to do entice these women. I pull down the illegal money that goes to abortion clinics that it will be stopped, Come will of God, be done in this land, your word is settled in Heaven. Thank you Father for your help, I do not hate but What I do care about is life. I love you Father God I honor your patience, your instructions. I am standing on your words and believing. 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

Father thank you for answering our prayers in overturning Roe v. Wade. I pray now that the fight has turned over to the individual states, you will grant each governor a holy fear of God whether they are believers or not. Grant them Lord a desire to protect life from conception to natural death and just as you turned the curse into a blessing with Balaam, I pray that any governor who has failed to protect life in the past will have an unshakeable desire to protect it now. I ask that any threats or bribes coming against them while taking a stand for life,, bounce off of them like rubber and I pray they cannot help but do what is right. Lord I pray that abortion comes to a screeching halt in my state. I pray not one single person will enter an abortion facility and they have no choice but to close due to lack of “business.” And what an abhorrent business it is, Father. It grieves me even now that unborn babies are being sold for their members which you created fearfully and wonderfully. They are precious in your sight and I ask for your forgiveness in failing to stand up for them. Grant me a fresh and steady burden to intercede and expect your intervention. We will believe you for this and we cannot wait to see you do again what only YOU could do in this fight for life and may you receive all honor and glory for it in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

“Heaven is My Throne”
https://biblehub.com/isaiah/66.htm
V1 This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne and earth is My footstool…
V9 Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.
V 15-16For behold, the LORD will come with fire—His chariots are like a whirlwind—to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh and many will be slain by the LORD.

“Esther’s Appeal For the Jews” https://biblehub.com/esther/8-5.htm
…let there be a decree that reverses the orders of Haman
…let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman
…let it be written to turn back the letters devised by Haman
…Please stop what Haman has planned
…let an edict be written rescinding those recorded intentions of Haman

Dear Heavenly Father, You are King! Heaven is Your throne and the earth is Your footstool. Only by Your Will do all things have life, breath and existence. You ask, “Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it? Or will I who deliver, close the womb?” This was spoken about Jerusalem but how much more does it apply to the carnage of the unborn? These tiny ones are innocent. I pray this morning for Kansas Governor Laura Kelly and each person supporting her veto. I am appealing the The King for this veto to be REVOKED, RESCINDED, REJECTED, STOPPED… Will You do for the unborn of Kansas as You did for Esther when she prayed over the pending destruction of the Jews? May the rebellious ones feel Your rebuke in a personal way. May they be slain in the spirit and brought to such Godly sorrow. I ask this and so much more for Your glory and do so in the PRECiOUS Name of Jesus Christ, Your Only Begotten Son. Amen

Oh, Lord,
There is so much! It seems the powers that be want to destroy us. This is murder of the weakest. Lord break up the hard soil and bring us a revival! I know we have small signs in a few places, and I know the enemy is ruling on the planet. YOU are greater! Lord, cause the people who are called by Your name to stand up for truth and justice! Lord make us, Your people strong, wise and resilient to withstand the onslaught of the enemy! Lord, grant us favor to influence others for Your way! In the Precious name of Jesus Christ I humbly ask.

Lord God, I cry out over the born alive act in Kansas, we are in a great spiritual battle, for the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy, and that is no more evident than the killing of a newborn. As our legislation reconvenes, at the end of the month for the veto session, divinely intervene to change this bill onto a law that affirms the value of the pre-born life. Put a heavy burden for life on the hearts of these Kansas legislatures, and let them see a state of life for Kansas. Amen
