On Tuesday the Arkansas House Public Health Committee passed S.B. 6 by Sen. Jason Rapert (R – Conway) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) prohibiting abortion in Arkansas.
The bill contains exceptions for medical emergencies in which the mother’s life is at stake.
This is a good bill that Family Council strongly supports.
If enacted, S.B. 6 would save thousands of unborn children every year and give the federal court system an opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade and other pro-abortion decisions.
This is an opportunity for Arkansas to be a real leader in the effort to end abortion in America.
Many people have been saying for almost fifty years that abortion should be illegal. The time has come for us to make it so.
S.B. 6 now goes to the entire Arkansas House of Representatives.
