Video: Group Gets Greenlight for Arkansas Abortion Amendment Campaign
The campaign to write abortion into the Arkansas Constitution could legalize 3,000 or more elective abortions every year on healthy mothers carrying healthy children.
Group Launches Petition Drive for Amendment That Could Legalize 3,000+ Abortions in Arkansas Annually
Over the weekend abortion advocates began collecting signatures for the Arkansas Abortion Amendment of 2024.
The group Arkansans for Limited Government is backing the amendment. The group must collect more than 90,000 valid petition signatures to place the amendment on the November ballot.
If passed, the measure could legalize an estimated 3,000 or more elective abortions per year in Arkansas.
The Arkansas Abortion Amendment would write abortion into the Arkansas Constitution. It prohibits the state from restricting abortion at all during the first 20 weeks gestation, it creates sweeping “health” exceptions for elective abortion throughout all nine months, and it nullifies all state laws that conflict with the amendment.
Under this amendment, lawmakers and voters would lose the ability to enact abortion restrictions — including restrictions that people on both sides of the aisle have supported in the past.
Guest Column: The “Science” of Abortion
Earlier this month, an image was shared on social media featuring what looked like a bit of used tissue paper with the caption, “Just a reminder that this is what an 8 week pregnancy/abortion looks like.” The inference is that pro-lifers are fools or liars to call the preborn “a child.”
It didn’t take long for that tweet to get called out. The image had been doctored. The “tissue” was not an embryo but merely an empty gestational sac. A real 8-week embryo has hands and feet, heart and head, and is very clearly a tiny human being.
While the claim “it’s just a clump of cells!” was questionable 50 years ago when someone first uttered it, decades of technological development make it morbidly laughable. The imagery available now completely undercuts any idea that what we see in the womb is less than human. What has been revealed is how divorced from reality the pro-abortion camp has always been.
