Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the “heartbeat” bill into law Tuesday morning. (Watch video below)

Kemp kept his campaign promise in signing the bill, HB 481, technically called the “Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act,” which will prohibit abortions in the state after a heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The law allows exceptions in the case of rape, incest, or if the life of the mother is in danger.

Before the signing of the bill, State Rep. Ed Setzler pointed to science, law, and the simple fact that common sense says a beating heart is a sign of life and those children should receive the full protection of the law. State Sen. Renee Unterman, a former nurse who ushered the bill through the state Senate, said she has waited her entire time as a legislator for this moment, calling it the “culmination of my political career.”

“Georgia is a state that values life,” Kemp said before putting his signature to the LIFE Act. “We stand up for those who are unable to speak for themselves.”

Kemp said he recognizes the bill will be challenged.

“But our job is to do what is right, not what is easy,” Kemp added. “We will not back down. We will always continue to fight for life.”

The “heartbeat” bill will go into effect at the beginning of next year.

The bill made national headlines recently when liberal activist and actress Alyssa Milano, who has been filming a Netflix comedy in Atlanta, made headlines when she marched into Kemp’s office with a letter last month to speak out on the “heartbeat bill.” The letter was signed by 50 celebrities who vowed to boycott the state, which has a burgeoning movie industry if the bill was signed into law. Watch below as the Governor signs the LIFE Act.

This is such a sincere truthful sound message of what is right in the eyes of God. May the Holy Spirit continue to move in the hearts of every state governor. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray.
