U.S. Sen. Cotton Praises Pregnancy Resource Center for “Doing the Lord’s Work,” Building Strong Families

Abortion, , ,

Last week, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas posted a video at the New Beginnings Pregnancy Center in Saline County.

In the video, Cotton praised the center saying, “They’re doing the Lord’s work for young moms and dads and babies, helping to turn them into strong families.”

Cotton said protecting the unborn is one of his top priorities in the U.S. Senate.

Pregnancy resource centers and other types of pregnancy help organizations play a critical role in the fight to protect innocent human life.

These centers give women real options besides abortion. They can provide women with everything from maternity clothes and baby formula to adoption referrals and parenting information — often free of charge.

Since 2022, the State of Arkansas has awarded millions of dollars in grant funding to help these charities support women and families with unplanned pregnancies.

Arkansas isn’t the only state doing this. A growing number of states provide these organizations with public funding, because they help women choose life.

After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Family Council outlined a three-part plan for eliminating abortion:

  • Encourage the Enforcement of Existing Pro-Life Laws
  • Work to Pass Any Additional Laws Necessary to End Abortion
  • Expand Our Efforts to Assist Pregnancy Help Organizations

Supporting pregnancy resource centers is a major part of that plan. We deeply appreciate the Arkansas Legislature, Governor Sarah Sanders, and leaders like Sen. Tom Cotton for championing the good work that these centers do.

Here are Two Ways to Help Oppose Chemical Abortion in Arkansas

Abortion, , , ,

Family Council is encouraging everyone to take two simple steps to help oppose chemical abortion drugs in Arkansas.

The first is to send a message asking Congress to support the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act.

The second is to ask the federal government to stop letting abortionists deliver abortion drugs through the mail.

Here is a little more information:

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result, abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, and it is against the law to mail abortion drugs into the state.

But under President Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration adopted rules that let abortionists send abortion drugs like mifepristone through the mail.

During that time, pro-abortion states also enacted “shield laws” to prevent abortionists from being held accountable when they mail abortion drugs into states like Arkansas.

To make matters worse, the U.S. Department of Justice has also opposed federal lawsuits from pro-lifers who want to stop mail-order abortion in their states.

All of this has created a dangerous industry of abortion-by-mail both in Arkansas and across the nation.

The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act by Senator Josh Hawley (MO) and Representative Diana Harshbarger (TN) would withdraw the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. This would remove the abortion drug from the market nationwide.

The bill would also provide a private right of action letting women sue the drug’s manufacturers if they are harmed by the abortion drug.

You can ask your congressmen and senators to co-sponsor the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act by clicking here.

Passing and enforcing the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act could take several months. That’s why we are also asking Arkansans to contact their leaders in Washington, D.C., and urge them to reverse the federal government’s policy that permits mail-order abortion.

Pro-lifers can ask Congress and the Trump Administration to reverse the FDA’s mail-order abortion policy by visiting abortioncrimebymail.com today.

Abortion drugs like mifepristone are dangerous. These drugs hurt women, and they kill unborn children.

Research from the Ethics and Public Policy Center shows 11% of women experience serious health complications from abortion pills — including sepsis, infection, and life-threatening hemorrhage.

These drugs should not be available at all — much less through the mail without an in-person visit with a doctor.

Our federal government needs to recognize how serious this issue is and take immediate steps to protect Americans from these abortion drugs. That is why we hope all Arkansans will contact their leaders today. Ask them to support the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act and reverse the FDA’s mail-order abortion policy.
