Video: Pro-Abortion Group Parks Mobile Billboard at Arkansas Pregnancy Center

Above: A pro-lifer asks the driver of a mobile pro-abortion billboard to leave the parking lot at a central Arkansas pregnancy resource center.

On Wednesday a mobile, digital billboard advertising abortion brazenly parked in front of a pregnancy resource center in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

The pro-abortion message advertised “abortion pills delivered to your door” and listed a link to a website that promotes “at-home abortion.”

Abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, and under the state’s Abortion Inducing Drugs Safety Act, it is a crime to provide abortion pills via courier, delivery, or mail service in Arkansas.

In other words, the billboard’s advertisement promotes illegal activity.

The pro-abortion billboard appears to be sponsored by the organization Mayday, a group that tells people how to order abortion pills online and have them delivered via mail forwarding services.

It appears the mobile billboard did not remain at the pregnancy resource center very long. The vehicle drove away after pro-lifers asked the driver to leave.

This is not the first time that a group has promoted abortion pills by mail in Arkansas.

Last December Family Council wrote about the Arkansas Abortion Support Network’s decision to post information on its website telling women how to order abortion drugs online.

Abortion-inducing drugs take the life of an unborn child, and they carry significant health risks for women — including risk of sepsis and death.

Delivering abortion drugs by mail violates Arkansas law. It also puts women and unborn children at serious risk.

There simply is no excuse for promoting so-called “at-home abortions” like this.

Below is video footage of the pro-abortion billboard.

Good Bill Filed Addressing Consent, Date Rape in Arkansas Code

A new bill at the Arkansas Legislature would help address consent and date rape in Arkansas code.

H.B. 1141 by Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Elm Springs) and Sen. Clint Penzo (R – Springdale) clarifies the definitions for “consent” and “forcible compulsion” in Arkansas’ laws regarding sexual offenses.

It also amends Arkansas code concerning sexual assault of a person who is incapacitated by drugs or alcohol to make it clear that it does not matter if the person consumed the drugs or alcohol willingly.

In practice, this will help clarify Arkansas’ laws concerning date rape.

H.B. 1141 also amends Arkansas’ laws concerning child molestation, sexual assault, and incest to say that perpetrators can be prosecuted regardless of whether or not their victims consented to the sexual conduct. This will help keep certain sexual predators from evading prosecution.

This is an issue that Family Council has worked on for many years. In 2001 we supported passage of Act 1534 that made it illegal to manufacture or possess gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a designer drug linked to date rape.

Legislation like H.B. 1141 helps further strengthen Arkansas’ laws to stop sexual predators who target their victims with drugs or alcohol.

Senate Passes Measure Authorizing Pro-Life Monument On Arkansas Capitol Grounds

On Wednesday the Arkansas Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill placing a pro-life monument at the Arkansas Capitol.

S.B. 307 by Sen. Kim Hammer (R – Benton) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) authorizes a monument on the state capitol grounds commemorating the unborn children whose lives were lost in abortion.

The bill estimates that between 1973 and 2022, at least 236,243 unborn children were aborted in Arkansas.

S.B. 307 authorizes a privately-funded monument “as a memorial to the lives lost from 1973 to 2022 due to the decisions of the United States Supreme Court, and as a constant reminder of our duty to protect the life of every innocent human person, no matter how young or old, or how helpless and vulnerable that person may be.”

This good memorial will honor the lives of unborn children lost to abortion on demand.

S.B. 307 now goes to the Arkansas House of Representatives.
