Baton Rouge, LA – The abortion industry lost at the Louisiana Supreme Court today after filing an appeal intending to unblock the state’s abortion ban for the third time since Roe’s overturn in late June. The court denied the case altogether.
After more than a month of chaotic flip-flopping, the end has been reached. Abortion remains illegal in Louisiana. The state’s three trigger laws remain in effect. Abortions, including mail-order abortions, remain illegal in all cases, except when giving birth would threaten the life of the mother. Any person who performs an abortion will be punished by 1-10 years in prison and fines of $10,000-$100,000.
And Idaho has good news to share, too!
Friends,
Here's breaking news: As of this afternoon, the civil enforcement mechanism of our Idaho Heartbeat law is in effect!
That means abortionists can now be held civilly liable for nearly every abortion they perform after a preborn baby's heartbeat can be detected!
Just minutes ago, the Idaho State Supreme Court vacated its stay blocking implementation of the civil penalties section of the Idaho Heartbeat law. In their decision, the court stated that Planned Parenthood is unlikely to succeed on the merits in its lawsuit challenging the civil enforcement mechanism and the criminal penalties created by the Heartbeat law signed by Gov. Brad Little earlier this year.
As a result of the order issued this afternoon, the civil enforcement mechanism of the Heartbeat law is currently in full force and effect. Furthermore, the criminal penalties of the Heartbeat law will become enforceable next Friday, August 19, as scheduled.
This is the day that the pro-life movement has worked towards for decades! Precious children with beating hearts now finally have legal protection in the state of Idaho—and to God be the glory!
We will keep you updated!
Idaho is a very Republican state, but it has not been a very conservative state. Getting this strong abortion in place took a long time a great deal of work behind the scenes to make it happen. Governor Brad Little is a big government liberal, as well, who never saw tax increases or increased revenues that he did not want to spend away.
But to get a bill like this passed, which puts abortion clinics under civil liability for baby-killing, is a real win, and Gov. Little knew that he had little choice but to sign on!
Two more states have banned abortions. More lives saved, and our culture is getting stronger by the minute!
This is one of the saddest cases I have heard about yet.
A father who had lost his own family, then his wife, then broke up with his live-in girlfriend after that, stabbed his three sons.
One source informs me that these psychotic murders are a result of immigrants--and illegal aliens--getting targeted, brainwashed, then instructed to do great evil within the Los Angeles area.
I am not sure what to think of these stats yet, but I will be looking into the mind-control aspect of this.
However, the background of this individual--Luiz Fuentes--suggests serious psychological disturbances.
Child protection workers knew that pushing Luiz Fuentes to face his
demons would be hard.
"Father feels that counseling will not be beneficial to him
because it will force him to remember when all he wants is to forget,"
county caseworkers told the court in September 2010, shortly after they
determined that Fuentes had badly bruised his son Luis, then 5, by beating him
with a belt.
Wow.
The beatings were more frequent than most realized at the time.
"The potential for father to lose control again is present and
likely," the caseworkers continued.
Five years later, Fuentes was charged with fatally stabbing Luis and the
boy's two younger brothers in the back seat of the family's car.
The deaths have prompted questions about whether the county could have
done more to prevent the violence.
They needed to have the father institutionalized. He was in deep pain and acted out on this grief in a terrible manner. He was mentally unstable, and clearly a danger to others.
The Times petitioned the court to release records about Fuentes. This
month Michael Levanas, the presiding judge of Los Angeles County's Juvenile
Court, ordered the release of 696 pages of records.
...
They document grief and anxiety that consumed Fuentes.
Fuentes was 5 when his father was slain. His mother died when he was
17, leaving him to feed and care for his three younger siblings, caseworkers
wrote.
The records also show the challenges faced by caseworkers who struggled
to pull out the truth during repeated visits to the home.
Repeated visits? Wow! Who is paying for this? How are these methods in keeping with best practices for a strong culture and a thriving society? The government institutions in Los Angeles County can't even balance the yearly budget with costly overruns and demands for higher taxes.
Beginning in 2010, anonymous callers contacted the county's child abuse
hotline alleging that the father was abusing the boys. The county Department of
Children and Family Services verified only one accusation — the report of the
2010 belt beating — which led it to supervise the family for a year.
Anonymous calls?
Harassment from government agencies, perhaps?
By 2010, when caseworkers investigated the belt beating, Fuentes'
girlfriend, Josefina Barrales, agreed with their assessment that counseling was
urgently needed because he had become "anxious, nervous and
depressed."
Sure, because he was going to lose his children ... because he was beating them.
This is one of the hardest lessons for parents to learn. They cannot give their children what they want them to have. They can only give their children what they have. Fuentes was clearly damaged, from the abuse and neglected he had suffered as a child, to the rampant and overwhelming pressures which had consumed him as an adult and a father.
I had heard another story about a woman who had tried to kill her own child. She actually loved her baby, but she was overcome with guilt. Why? She had stepped out on her husband and had an affair.
That need for punishment, for consequence for our guilt is very strong. Conscience within the human soul cannot be silenced or assuaged without clear payment.
Hence the need for the Cross. Otherwise, we punish ourselves and others. In the case of Fuentes, he was punishing his kids, and then by killing them he punished himself.
In the first court proceedings, he kept saying "I'm a loser. I'm a loser."
Reflection
I am still learning about this purported talk about mind control afflicting immigration populations in the Los Angeles area.
There is not enough evidence on this case to suggest some form of mind control. This man was grief-stricken and did not respond to these tragedies with the truth.
I conclude that this man was convinced that he had done something wrong in his childhood, that he was hounded by a specter of condemnation, which in turn lead to guilt, shame, and ultimately acts of murder.
