Last Friday Arkansas’ Attorney General’s office joined a coalition of states led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt challenging the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for private employers.

Last week the Labor Department issued an emergency rule requiring employers with 100 or more workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine or get tested for the disease each week. According to the Daily Signal, the Biden Administration intends to enforce the rule through OSHA.

Missouri and ten other states — including Arkansas — responded by filing a lawsuit in federal court calling the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate “unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise.”

Besides Arkansas and Missouri, other states joining the lawsuit include Arizona, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Wyoming.

Attorneys representing the Home School Legal Defense Association and the Christian Employers Alliance joined the lawsuit as well.

Little Rock, AR — On Thursday the University of Arkansas released its annual Arkansas Poll. The poll indicated likely voters in Arkansas overwhelmingly believe abortion in Arkansas should be completely illegal or legal only in certain cases. The highest percentage of Arkansans ever believe that abortion should be completely illegal.

Family Council President Jerry Cox released a statement saying, “This poll shows Arkansans, who are likely voters, are deeply pro-life and soundly reject the idea of abortion on demand. According to the poll, twenty-six percent said abortion ought to be illegal under all circumstances, and fifty-three percent said it ought to be legal only under certain circumstances. In other words, seventy-nine percent of Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal or legal only in a few cases. Arkansans overwhelmingly reject abortion, and Arkansas’ lawmakers have passed a lot of legislation protecting the lives of unborn children in recent years. I believe that is one reason abortion in Arkansas has fallen to the lowest levels since the 1970s, and abortion among teenagers is near an all-time low.”

Cox called the poll’s findings good news, saying “Arkansas is ranked the #1 most Pro-Life state in the nation and this poll affirms that ranking. Most Arkansans want to see unborn children protected. Protecting the lives of unborn children has always been something that Family Council is committed to. We look forward to continuing protecting the lives of the unborn in the future.”
