A pro-life group is reporting that Missouri has become the first “abortion-free state” in the U.S. after its last remaining abortion facility ceased terminating pregnancies.
Operation Rescue released a report outlining “The Status of American Abortion Facilities in 2020” last week. According to the report, “a total of 45 abortion facilities closed or halted abortions nationwide in 2020, leaving one state without an active abortion facility.”
Prayer Point: Pray that abortion clinics would close in every state due to lack of demand! Pray that women would not seek abortion as a way to deal with pregnancy.
“Reproductive Health Services Planned Parenthood in St. Louis was the last abortion facility in Missouri. It remains open, but Operation Rescue has confirmed that no abortion appointments have been available there for months, and none are available anytime in the foreseeable future. All abortion appointments are now being referred to the Fairview Heights Planned Parenthood facility across the Mississippi River in Illinois.”
Reproductive Health Services Planned Parenthood confirmed with The Christian Post that it no longer performs abortions and refers all patients seeking abortions to its new 18,000-square-foot Fairview Heights facility, which is located 16 miles away. . . .
According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, Missouri has an abortion ban that would immediately go into effect should the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide be overturned. In 2019, the state passed a heartbeat bill, which would ban abortion at the point a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks gestation. Like many similar measures passed in other states, the law was quickly subject to a court challenge.
The pro-life group Americans United for Life ranked Missouri as the eighth-most pro-life state on its “Life List 2021,” which was compiled based on a “comprehensive analysis of each state’s law and policy protections for human life from conception to natural death.” Nearby Arkansas was ranked the most pro-life state in the U.S., followed by Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Indiana, Kansas and Arizona.
Prayer Point: Thank God for these pro-life states! Thank God for all the pro-life people whose tremendous efforts are reflected in the laws of their states.
Operation Rescue’s report includes a chart highlighting which states saw an increase in the number of abortion clinics in 2020, which states saw a decrease in the number of abortion providers, and which states saw no change in the number of abortion facilities.
Ten states saw a decrease in the number of abortion providers, with the most notable drop occurring in New York, where nine abortion clinics closed. . . .
Alaska, Colorado, Illinois and Ohio, along with Missouri, all have one less abortion clinic. An additional 12 states saw an increase in the number of abortion facilities. California and Minnesota each added three abortion clinics while Colorado, Michigan and North Carolina now have two additional abortion facilities. Alabama, Kentucky, Maine, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Virginia have one additional abortion clinic in their respective states. . . .
In 2020, the number of abortion clinics nationwide stood at 706, a slight decline from the 710 in 2019. Looking ahead, Operation Rescue President Troy Newman predicted that “2021 will be a crossroads of sorts for the abortion cartel and the pro-life movement alike.” . . .
Prayer Point: Pray for Christians to get involved in pro-life efforts–to advocate for pro-life laws, volunteer at pregnancy centers, lead post-abortion recovery groups, adopt and foster children. May the Church rise up on this issue.
“Whatever challenges 2021 holds, Operation Rescue will continue to work toward our goal of building an Abortion-Free America and a bright future of the children of tomorrow,” he added.

Dear Lord, I pray that You will make my State of Washington a pro-life State! Raise up more people in this State to stand up for these babies and their mothers! Show me what part You want me to play in this great work that is so dear to Your heart🙏
Thank You Lord for protecting the unborn in Missouri, may this spread to other states. May hope spread to those who care about babies. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lord I pray that because of Missouri’s decision, that you will bless that state and its people to overflowing. I pray that your blessings would reign down in every possible way and that they will not be able to contain it.
Lord God Almighty – we call on you again. Our hearts cry out to you. President Biden continues to sign policies and make decisions that we know You hate and you are opposed to. His order today to pay for abortions for foreigners is horrible and demonic in its roots. Lord God – our hearts are grieved that he is signing such ungodly orders. Help him to understand the gravity & sinfulness of what he is doing. By doing so, he is shaking his fist at you. He is calling down more judgement on our nation. Lord rescue us from these terrible decisions. We come against the stronghold and idol of Baal – we come against the stronghold of murder and death upon the innocent. We break these strongholds by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his name. Help us Lord God – help the president and his administration see that we cannot turn our backs on you by doing this without suffering consequences. Your people cry out to you for help. We cry out to you to deliver our nation from the bondage of sin that plagues us. Some of the leaders with power continue to make decisions that DO NOT REFLECT the will of the people of this nation. We want to live in a way that is pleasing to you Lord. God help us – we feel as though we are drowning in righteous anger.
This guy owes Satan A momwhole lot. Today again he revised the Mexico City rule. It’s all about funding abortions for poor countries. He is only interested in appeasing his god that gave him this election which most believe was stolen. He keeps focusing on the unborn. So like the times of Baal when the people gave sacrifices to him It’s all the Same just a new name.
Instead of giving theDay after pills which I understand is a estrogen type of pill or birth control which is very inexpensive to give away these people go for ripping from the womb at almost any age the innocent. It’s a trap it’s satanic it’s rotten and no wonder we have this plague that keeps changing China has been killing babies for a long time. They are godless. This administration is in league with them. I realize many Christians don’t like to believe bad things about people but guess what They start with babies and we are next. Just a plan Satan wants to remove the lords people and reign supreme. Stop them. Get off Twitter face book all of them. Bring out the cross put it on your door. Proclaim the love of a holy sovereign god and stop being afraid of what anyone thinks. God is still alive and he is our king. Trust him. Thank you sweet precious lord for the cross
Father, YOU ARE GREAT‼️WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND HE IS GREATER IN US THE CHURCH THAN he that is in the world‼️
WE TAKE UP AUTHORITY NOW AND BIND DEATH AND CAST IT DOWN UNDER OUR FEET AND WE LOOSE LOOSE …
LOOSE 🗣🔥💨🔥L I F E🔥💨🔥 OH OH OH OH LET THERE BE LIFE in THE EARTH AS THERE IS LIFE IN HEAVEN IN the NAME OF CHRIST JESUS WE DECLARE AMEN
Tremendous news and thank God for the actions of these states to protect and defend the unborn. I pray other states will follow their lead and we can stop and significantly reduce the carnage that has happened for the last many years.
Abortion, is an easy out for those that don’t think ahead of time the consequences of their actions.
GOD did not give us the right to take innocent lives just because someone messed up.
These women do not realize the guilt and shame that latches on to them the rest of their lives.The easy way out becomes a heavy weight that one carries around in their heart, mind and soul.
The devil doesn’t deliver a free ride for anyone. He makes You pay over and over again.
JESUS does forgive if you repent and clean up your act.JESUS, will set you free.
I pray that abortion becomes illegal in the USA.
I pray that Biden and his cronies evil leadership are stopped in their tracks by the elected officials in the Senate and Congress.
Watching Andrew Womack last week, there is a movement afoot Nationwide to pass Janet Porter’s “Heartbeat Bill” in every state. Missouri is to be highly commended. However, as watchmen/intercessors, we need to be vigilant – 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”
The facility in Illinois is a PLANNED-PARENTHOOD MEGA ABORTION MILL built to not only handle Missouri abortions, but also bus women in from States in the South who passed legislation prohibiting/limiting abortion!!!
IFA needs to reach out to Christian TV stations, Catholic Networks, etc. and offer the link to IFA’s wonderful “Contact the Politicians” App to expand the active participation in fighting this battle over the lives of the innocent. All messages need to include scriptures such as:
“My prayer for President Biden is that Ephesians 1:17,18 become dynamos: “1:17 May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception, to bring you to full knowledge of him.
1:18 May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, what rich glories he has promised the saints will inherit”
President Biden must recognize the evil of abortion.
Lord Jesus Christ, You took our human nature upon Yourself. You shared our life and death, our childhood and adulthood.
You also shared our time in the womb. While still God, while worshipped and adored by the angels, while Almighty and filling every part of the universe, You dwelt for nine months in the womb of Mary. You were our Redeemer in the womb, our God who has a preborn child.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to bless and protect the children who today are in their mothers’ womb. Save them from the danger of abortion. Help all people to recognize in the preborn child a brother, a sister, saved by You, our Redeemer in the womb.
In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”
This will be a witness to whomever(staff member?) receives the message even if it doesn’t get to the politician themselves…
Halleujuah! God is sure working in the state of Missouri! Thank You Lord. My prayer is more states follow suit to becoming abortion-free. In Jesus name, Amen.
Holy Father, forgive our toleration of the pro-death culture! Show us a way to stop the sexualization of children and youth. Stamp out pre-marital sex in America. Eliminate the “need” for abortion!
Again this morning The administration is going after mr Trump Bills on abortion. So very obvious Biden is trying to secure himself in the evil domain to be the president. This goes for Harris as well. They care nothing for humanity only power and are willing to kill defame or what ever it takes to have their way We the people feel wounded but in the past few day’s we have been able to see small beginnings of righteousness peeking through .Missouri, abortion free.! Yes. Awareness of abortion getting headlines. We will never heal as long as our leaders serve evil. We need to put up our crosses and tell everyone that the lord is their hope. Thank you lord Emmanuel the way the truth for keeping America great.
Missouri, the Show Me (how it’s done) state! Way to go!
Praise the Lord, do it Lord also in Alabama!
Jesus I pray to You for a miracle so that the same “no abortion law in my state” will happen in all states in tbe United States. Send out your warrior and ministering angels to do Your will; no more murder of the unborn.
Thank You, thank you, thank you Jesus for this state being abortion free. May there be many others that will become as Missouri is today.
Father in heaven, we ask that you will save souls. Save the innocent, save the lost. Bring Your great salvation to the people of this land.
Be glorified by all the nations.
May your children show their love for You by loving those You have placed in their lives.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ,amen.
Life is prevailing. Praise Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
O Lord our God, thank you for an awakening! As You blessed the mid-wives in Egypt that spared the Hebrew babies, bless those states that have chosen to stand against the edict of death. Raise up the Church in each state to follow the command in Deuteronomy 30:19….”see I have set before you life or death, blessing or cursing; therefore CHOOSE LIFE..”
Amen! May the number of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who stand against abortion increase, and may the number of states that join Missouri also increase!
Heavenly Father we thank you the righteousness has prevailed in Missouri. May the other 49 states follow suit.
Thank you lord. Please put it on the hearts of everyone to stop murdering our babies. Start teaching our children the importance of life families health good works and bring us revival. Let us sing unto you a new song. Thank you for the USA. Bless us with you signs and wonders.
Poland bans most abortions keep praying keeping talking to one another about this satanic ritual. Most people don’t even realize that over one billion babies worldwide have been murdered.
