Franklin Graham Condemns New Abortions Up to Birth Law: “This is Murder”
Another Democrat governor has signed into law another pro-abortion scheme.
It happens routinely these days, but that very action is starting to get significant attention because of the content of the actions.
It is Franklin Graham, chief of the worldwide Christian ministry Samaritan’s Purse who reacted this week when Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed into law the latest death scheme.
“This sends a chill up my spine. Smiles and applause while the Democratic Massachusetts governor signs a bill to allow abortions up to birth in her state,” he wrote on social media.
“This is murder. It’s evil. She calls abortion healthcare for women. The Bible says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil’ (Isaiah 5:20). This governor and those cheering will one day stand before a Holy God—I don’t think they will be cheering then.”
Healey claimed she was keeping abortion safe, legal and accessible.
Reports said she “met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts’ gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth.

Healey claimed, “We believe that health care decisions should be made between women and families and their doctors, not politicians. Abortion will remain safe. It will remain legal, and it will remain accessible here in Massachusetts. That’s my commitment to you.”
The state previously generally prohibited abortion after 24 weeks.
Other states that have joined the radical abortion-anytime agenda include Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon and Vermont.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser rejected Healey’s ideology.
“It should shock the conscience that tens of thousands of unborn Americans are barbarically dismembered limb by limb and torn apart every single year,” she said. “Sadly, that number will only increase with Gov. Healey’s approval of the Abortion Up Until Birth Bill. The GOP must abandon the ‘leave it to the states’ position – a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one – and advance national protections for unborn children.”
Others on social media noted the events:
“Please tell me you caught this….. You’ve all seen the viral video of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signing the bill that allows abortion up to birth right? But did you notice this one specific woman’s reaction? She’s laughing, clapping, and beaming like she just won the lottery. Not somber or conflicted….not even quiet. You cannot convince me that this isn’t demonic. A room full of grown women treating the removal of any limit on ending a fully formed, viable baby’s life like a party. Watch it again. Focus on her face. This is what they celebrate now.
