Planned Parenthood PAC Reports No Activity in Arkansas During First Half of 2025

Abortion, , , ,

On July 15, Planned Parenthood’s political action committee for Arkansas filed a report with the Secretary of State showing the organization did not spend any money campaigning in Arkansas during the past three months.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortionist. In 2024, the organization endorsed two candidates running for the Arkansas House of Representatives. In 2020, Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million working to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion. As part of that plan, the group used its political action committee (PAC) in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

However, Planned Parenthood’s Arkansas PAC has spent no money campaigning in Arkansas so far this year.

Planned Parenthood’s PAC has a little less than $11,500 at its disposal for the 2026 election cycle. It remains to be seen what role the organization will play in Arkansas in the coming months.

Arkansas A.G. Urges Congress to Help Enforce Pro-Life Laws

Abortion, , , ,

On Tuesday, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin held a press conference announcing his office is leading a letter to congress urging the federal government to help states enforce their pro-life laws.

Since 2022, Arkansas has generally prohibited abortion except to save the life of the mother, and state law prohibits abortion drugs from being delivered or distributed in the state. However, news outlets have highlighted how pro-abortion states are protecting abortionists who ship abortion drugs across the country. Attorney General Griffin says entities in these states are deliberately targeting women in Arkansas and elsewhere.

At Tuesday’s press conference, Arkansas Attorney General Griffin said his office is leading a letter along with 15 other state attorneys general asking congress to address these pro-abortion “shield laws.” During his remarks, A.G. Griffin said, “States should be respectful of other states’ laws.” The A.G. says his office believes there is precedent giving congress the authority to act on this issue.

The A.G.’s office is also issuing four cease-and-desist letters to companies responsible for marketing abortion pills to Arkansans.

The cease-and-desist letters are similar to orders the A.G.’s office sent to abortion centers in New York last year.

All of this is good news. Abortion drugs take the life of an unborn child. They also carry significant health risks for women — including risks of sepsis and death.

Delivering abortion drugs into Arkansas violates state law and it puts women and unborn children at risk.

Abortion drugs simply should not be for sale in America — and abortionists certainly should not be free to target Arkansans with them.

Family Council appreciates Attorney General Griffin’s willingness to take a firm, pro-life stand and help lead the way on this important issue.

FTC Launches Federal Probe Into “Gender-Affirming Care” for Minors

LGBT, ,

On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a public inquiry into whether doctors and clinics may be deceiving parents and children about the risks of so-called “gender-affirming care.”

The FTC is asking for public comments on whether minors and families have been misled by false or unsubstantiated claims about the supposed benefits and safety of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change procedures. The inquiry will help the FTC determine whether these practices violate federal law.

The commission says the public will have until September 26 to submit comments at Regulations.gov.

This move by the FTC is significant.

On July 9, the FTC hosted a workshop highlighting the dangers of so-called “gender-affirming care” for children, and the U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed doctors and hospitals that performed sex-change procedures on children. All of this shows that concerns about deception in the transgender medical industry are finally being taken seriously at the federal level.

In recent years, men and women have come forward with chilling testimony about how they were rushed through gender-transition as children, and experts have revealed how the medical “consensus” in support of performing transgender procedures on children was largely manufactured by pro-LGBT organizations.

The U.K., Sweden, Finland, and other nations have found that science simply does not support giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to kids.

In 2021, Arkansas became the first state in the nation to pass a law protecting children from gender transition procedures.

Arkansas’ Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act prohibits doctors from performing sex-change surgeries or giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors. Unfortunately, the law has been challenged in court—but Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin continues to defend it.

A federal investigation is long overdue. Protecting children from deceptive and harmful medical practices isn’t just good policy—it’s common sense.
