Republican Georgia March For Life Speaker Thanks Jesus For Recent Death Of “Obstacle” GOP Lawmaker

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

Drawing a slightly smaller crowd than in previous years, anti-abortion advocates gathered outside the Georgia Capitol on Friday to stress that last year’s overturning of Roe v. Wade was not enough — they want a total ban on abortion.

In a prayer during Friday’s memorial service and march, Nathaniel Darnell, the Georgia director for the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, referenced the recent death of former House Speaker David Ralston and asked God to warn other legislators who might stand in the way of passing stricter abortion regulations.

“Lord, may you please confront those legislators who might seek to be an obstacle to these efforts,” he said. “We thank you for how you have relieved us from one legislator, a speaker who made himself an obstacle, and we pray that father you would help other legislators to serve you in fear and to take warning.”

Ralston, who served 13 years in the Georgia House, died in November at age 68 after an “extended illness.”
