NY State Passes Bill Allowing Abortion up to Birth; State Religious Groups Stunned,Calling for Prayers

The New York state legislature passed a bill yesterday that makes it legal for doctors and other health care professionals to perform abortions up until birth for any reason in the state, the Christian Post website reports today (January 23, 2019).

The so-called Reproductive Health Act that abortion advocates have been trying to pass for 12 years passed with a 38-28 vote in the Senate.

Religious groups -- such as the Office of Adult Faith Formation of the Archdiocese of New York -- called for the faithful to pray.

"New Yorkers, join us tonight, it is important more than ever to pray as we expect that the Reproductive Health Act--Abortion Expansion will become a law in NY..." the group noted yesterday in a tweet.
