On Wednesday the Arkansas House of Representatives passed H.B. 1572 by a vote of 76 to 15.
This good bill by Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Springdale) and Sen. Scott Flippo (R – Mountain Home) outlines the informed-consent requirements for chemical abortions in Arkansas.
Arkansas’ current informed-consent laws for abortion are geared primarily for surgical abortion procedures. With the rise in chemical abortion drugs like RU-486, Arkansas law needs to be strengthened to address drug-induced abortion as well as surgical abortion.
H.B. 1572 will help make sure women get all the facts about chemical abortion — including its risks, consequences, and pro-life alternatives.
The bill now goes to the Arkansas Senate. Below is a breakdown of Wednesday’s vote on H.B. 1572.
