Abortion Facility Owner’s Trial in Assault Case Moved to July

Abortion, , ,

On Tuesday the court in Little Rock granted a continuance in abortion facility owner Natalie Tvedten’s assault case, according to information posted online from Arkansas’ Administrative Office of the Courts.

Tvedten’s attorney did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

According to court documents from 2020, Tvedten is one of the owners of Little Rock Family Planning Services, a surgical abortion facility in Little Rock.

The Little Rock Police Department’s warrant and arrest report in the case indicates that Tvedten faces two counts of Assault in the First Degree for allegedly trying to strike pro-lifers with her vehicle while they prayed on the public easement outside the abortion facility on July 13, 2021.

Tvedten’s new court date is set for July 6, 2022.

Family Council has collected Little Rock Police reports documenting multiple close calls that pro-lifers have had with vehicles outside the surgical abortion facility.

Below is video footage of the the alleged July 13 incident that Family Council obtained last year via Arkansas’ Freedom of Information Act.

Jasper Becomes Arkansas’ Twelfth Pro-Life City

Abortion, , , , ,

On March 17, the Jasper City Council adopted a good resolution affirming that the community is Pro-Life.

Jasper is located near the scenic Buffalo River, and it is the Newton County seat. The Newton County Quorum Court passed its own Pro-Life Resolution earlier this month as well.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature enacted Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).

This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

Act 392 also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

To date, 19 counties and 12 cities and towns have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life.

Benton, Washington, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, White, Prairie, Searcy, Carrol, Newton, Boone, Hot Spring, and Madison counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have the cities and towns of Marianna, Russellville, Springdale, LaGrange, Moro, Aubrey, Haynes, Marshall, Western Grove, Leslie, and Tontitown.

As we continue to say, public opinion polling has shown time and again that Arkansans oppose abortion.

Most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Arkansas has passed some of the strongest pro-life laws of any state in the nation.

In light of that, it makes sense that so many communities would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the coming weeks!
