'As plain as day, God spoke to me. He said that wasn't my bill, talking about the heartbeat detection bill that I filed. He said that wasn't my bill,' Hill said. 'I knew immediately what He was talking about.'
Florida state Rep. Mike Hill said the abortion bill he introduced to the state legislature this year was sent to him by God.
Hill's proposed law, which died before getting a committee hearing, would have restricted abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected and included exceptions for rape, incest, medical emergency, human trafficking and domestic violence. Hill said he only placed those exceptions into the bill to increase the chances of it passing.
Alabama's law has drawn criticism from some Republican politicians, including President Donald Trump, and conservative media personalities who thought the bill was too restrictive. Trump tweeted that he was in support of exceptions for rape, incest and medical emergency. Conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren and Christian televangelist Pat Robertson also said the bill was too extreme.
"All of that, you know, which are important, but life is of preeminence import. Without life, you won't even have a need for all this other stuff," he said, later adding that some Republicans said Florida didn't need to fight a lawsuit over a pro-life bill as states like Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Ohio are after passing abortion laws earlier this year.

"For a second there it seemed like he was going to seriously consider the cause-and-effect relationship of his own actions and elevate himself to a new level of compassion and understanding, but then he suddenly changed course and asked God to swoop in and fix everything." Reached for comment, God chuckled to reporters that Gatsas is, indeed, a real piece of work.
