Opposition continues to form against the Arkansas Abortion Amendment.
Right now a group is working to place the Arkansas Abortion Amendment on the November ballot. The measure would write abortion into the state constitution, and it would prevent the Arkansas Legislature from restricting abortion during the first five months of pregnancy — allowing thousands of elective abortions every year and paving the way for taxpayer-funded abortions in Arkansas.
On Wednesday, Students for Life of America filed ballot question committee paperwork with the Arkansas Ethics Commission, announcing it would oppose the abortion amendment.
The pro-life organization is headquartered in Virginia and has a staff of nearly 80 full-time employees. Part of the group’s mission includes training and equipping students about abortion.
Students for Life is the latest organization to stand against the abortion amendment. Others include:
- Arkansas Right to Life and Family Council Action Committee, both of whom have launched “Decline to Sign” campaigns to disqualify and defeat the abortion measure.
- Choose Life Arkansas — which is made up of pro-life leaders from across the state — has also formed a campaign to defeat the amendment.
- NWA Coalition for Life, which includes pro-life leaders from the Northwest Arkansas area.
- The Arkansas Committee For Ethics Policy
- The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock
- Stronger Arkansas
- Stop Abortion On Demand
