On Monday the Arkansas Senate Public Health Committee passed H.B. 1402.
This good bill by Rep. Sonia Barker (R – Smackover) and Sen. Blake Johnson (R – Corning) updates Arkansas’ restrictions on abortion drugs like RU-486.
Pro-lifers nationwide expect the Biden/Harris Administration to ease restrictions on abortion-inducing drugs in the coming months. H.B. 1402 will help keep restrictions on abortion drugs in place at the state level — even if the federal government changes its regulations.
H.B. 1402 outlines requirements that abortionists must follow in administering abortion-inducing drugs, and it prohibits abortion drugs from being delivered by mail in Arkansas.
It also updates current law to ensure doctors who perform chemical abortions are credentialed to handle abortion complications and can transfer the woman to a hospital if she experiences complications.
H.B. 1402 is a good bill that will protect unborn children from being killed in chemical abortions. It now goes to the entire Arkansas Senate for consideration.
