On Tuesday the pro-life media outlet Life News released a list of the top five pro-life victories in America in 2021.
Among the nation’s greatest pro-life victories this year, Life News highlighted the fact that more than one dozen cities and counties in Arkansas have passed resolutions affirming that their communities are Pro-Life.
Earlier this year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch). This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.
Act 392 also makes it clear that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.
Since Act 392 was enacted over the summer, Arkansas has seen a rapid expansion of Pro-Life Cities and Counties across the state.
Washington, Benton, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, White, and Prairie counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have cities and towns such as Marianna, Russellville, Springdale, LaGrange, Moro, and Aubrey.
Public opinion polling consistently shows Arkansans are pro-life. That’s one reason we’re seeing so many communities vote to adopt resolutions affirming that they support the sanctity of human life.
It’s great to see a major pro-life media outlet recognize the accomplishments that Arkansas’ cities and counties have made this year.
