Planned Parenthood Does Not Seem to be Hiring in Arkansas or Oklahoma at This Time

Planned Parenthood Great Plains does not appear to be hiring in Arkansas or Oklahoma at this time, and it has very few job listings posted in Missouri and Kansas.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and the organization’s regional affiliate — Planned Parenthood Great Plains — routinely posts job openings online for its facilities throughout Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas.

Over the years, Family Council has tracked these job listings and written about them, because they provide a window into Planned Parenthood’s operations.

It’s common for Planned Parenthood to list openings for positions such as CNA’s or office staff at its facilities in Little Rock, Rogers, Tulsa, or Oklahoma City. But right now, the only staff openings Planned Parenthood Great Plains seems to have are a few positions in the Kansas City area and in Wichita, Kansas.

This is the first time Family Council can recall in recent years that Planned Parenthood Great Plains did not have a single job opening listed in Arkansas or Oklahoma. This comes on the heels of Planned Parenthood’s announcement that it is closing and consolidating facilities in Missouri.

It may sound like good news that Planned Parenthood is closing facilities and apparently not hiring staff, but it’s important to remember that the organization still has abortion facilities within driving distance of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Abortionists also increasingly are looking for ways to deliver abortion drugs by mail in states like Arkansas.

Even if the organization is not hiring staff in Arkansas or Oklahoma, it may still perform abortions on women from those states.

All of this underscores what we have said for years: It’s important to prohibit abortion through legislation — as Arkansas and other states have done. But we need to eliminate the demand for abortion as well.

Arkansas State Police Intercept 136 Pounds of Illegal Marijuana from Oklahoma in a Single Traffic Stop

Marijuana,

Last week Arkansas State Police seized more than 100 pounds of illegal marijuana in a single traffic stop.

The marijuana apparently was being transported through Arkansas from Oklahoma to be sold on the black market elsewhere in the country.

In a statement, the Arkansas State Police said,

On Thursday, October 3, 2024, around 9:38 p.m., Arkansas State Police (ASP) Troopers stopped a rented black 2024 Chrysler Pacifica on Interstate 40 Eastbound at the 159-mile marker for a traffic violation.

Troopers searched the vehicle and found five large trash bags in the rear of the vehicle filled with approximately 136 pounds of individual vacuum-sealed packages of illegal marijuana.

ASP arrested the driver, Hui Zhang, 34, of Flushing, NY, and transported her to the Pulaski County Detention Center, where she was booked and charged with felony Possession with the Purpose to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Criminal Use of Property.

Zhang told investigators she was traveling from Oklahoma to South Carolina.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. Authorities patrolling I-40 in Arkansas routinely intercept marijuana that is bound for the black market elsewhere around the country.

We have written time and again about how marijuana’s legalization in other states has actually emboldened drug cartels and organized crime.

Some of these illegal marijuana operations are tied to labor trafficking and violent crime, and some have connections to foreign interests like the Chinese Communist Party.

A CBS News segment last year highlighted how Chinese investment is driving illegal marijuana production across the U.S., and CBN reported last October that Chinese investors with “suitcases full of cash” are buying U.S. farmland to grow black market marijuana. Other correspondents have reported how these illegal marijuana operations contribute to “modern day slavery on American soil.”

Stories like these have significant implications for Arkansas, where the group Arkansans for Patient Access is working to pass Issue 3, an amendment drastically expanding marijuana in the state.

The amendment would give free marijuana cards to immigrants and out-of-state residents who come to Arkansas to use marijuana.

Issue 3 would guarantee marijuana growers and sellers a monopoly over the state’s marijuana industry.

Under this measure, marijuana users would no longer need to show they suffer from a specific medical condition listed in state law — making it easier to use marijuana recreationally.

Issue 3 also fails to limit the amount of THC in marijuana products, and it repeals restrictions designed to protect children from marijuana advertising.

All of this would lead to more marijuana in Arkansas.

Family Council Action Committee has materials available for volunteers and churches regarding the marijuana amendment:
