The Arkansas Abortion Amendment of 2024 would legalize abortion in a way Arkansas has never seen before by enshrining abortion in the state constitution.
If passed, it would erase basic abortion restrictions and could result in thousands of abortions in Arkansas every year.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice put pro-life protestors on trial for their role in a 2021 sit-in at an abortion facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Each protestor faces over a decade in prison, as well as hefty fines. America has a long history of civil disobedience and peaceful protests, but increasingly the state has grown quite selective in what is tolerated and what is condemned, and now, even convicted. Federal animus toward pro-life activism is increasing, as are examples of hostility from law enforcement. It’s especially odd when compared to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who “declined to comment” about the four men who were released after beating New York police officers.
Beyond the complexities of the immigration debate and the ethics of civil disobedience, it reflects our cultural mood in which the moral status of individuals is predetermined, based on their group rather than their behavior. The more the state reflects this mood, the more elusive justice will be.

The Family Policy Alliance recently published a video highlighting Arkansas Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Springdale) for her courage and leadership.
In 2021 Rep. Lundstrum sponsored the Save Adolescence From Experimentation (SAFE Act) protecting children from cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, sex-reassignment surgeries, and similar procedures.
The law was the first of its kind in the nation, but since then more than 20 states have adopted similar pieces of legislation.
