ACLU Lawsuit Aims to Thwart the Will of the People
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
On Tuesday Family Council President Jerry Cox released a statement in response to a press announcement that the ACLU plans to file suit against the State of Arkansas over Act 301, the fetal-heartbeat law sponsored by Senator Jason Rapert.
“This is a good law,” said Jerry Cox. “All it says is that, barring certain instances, an abortion cannot be performed after the twelfth week of pregnancy if a fetal heartbeat is detected. A heartbeat is the number-one way we determine whether someone is alive. If an unborn baby has a heartbeat, that baby is alive, and his or her life should not be taken.”
