On Thursday the House Judiciary Committee defeated a bad bill that would have added exceptions to Arkansas’ abortion laws.
H.B. 1670 by Rep. Ashley Hudson (D – Little Rock) would weaken Arkansas’ pro-life laws by creating an exception for abortion in cases of incest.
As we have said many times, rape and incest are evil, and any woman who is a victim of rape or incest is a victim in every sense of the word.
However, legislation like H.B. 1670 fails to acknowledge that the unborn child is totally innocent.
An unborn boy or girl has no control over how he or she was conceived. These are living human beings. It is not right to kill an unborn baby because the baby’s father was a rapist or committed incest.
We are thankful to the House Judiciary Committee members who voted against this bad bill.
