Arkansas Baptist State Convention Offers Pro-Life Church Bulletins for Sunday

Abortion, ,

The Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) is offering free, pro-life church bulletin inserts for Sunday, January 23, 2022.

The bulletin inserts are one way for churches to observe Sanctity of Human Life Sunday this Sunday.

The ABSC writes, “This day is an opportunity to speak the truth in love about abortion, and an opportunity to stir in someone’s heart the need to make a difference in the life of a woman and her expected child.”

January 22 is the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed H.C.R. 1007 marking January 22 as the Day of Tears in Arkansas.

H.C.R. 1007 also acknowledges the 61 million unborn babies killed in abortion in America over the past five decades, and it encourages Arkansans to lower their flags to half-staff on January 22 to mourn the innocent children who have lost their lives to abortion.

Alabama and Louisiana passed similar measures in 2021 as well.

This weekend is an excellent opportunity for pro-lifers in Arkansas to engage the issue of abortion and promote the sanctity of human life in our state.

Kentucky Lawmakers File Measures Similar to Arkansas’ SAFE Act

LGBT, ,

Last week lawmakers in Kentucky filed legislation similar to Arkansas’ Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act.

Kentucky’s proposed S.B. 84 and H.B. 253 protect children from sex-reassignment procedures, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones.

The measures are similar to Arkansas’ SAFE Act that lawmakers passed last spring.

The Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act is an excellent law. Like these proposals in Kentucky, it protects children in Arkansas from sex-reassignment procedures, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones.

However, the ACLU and others filed a lawsuit against the SAFE Act, and last July a federal judge in Little Rock temporarily blocked the state from enforcing this good law.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has appealed that order to the Eighth Circuit. A trial in the case will take place during the week of July 25, 2022.

Unfortunately, several business interests and the Biden-Harris Administration also have joined the fight against Arkansas’ SAFE Act.

Researchers do not know the long term effects that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones can have on kids. That is why many experts agree that giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children is experimental, at best.

That’s also why a major hospital in Sweden announced last year that it would no longer administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children.

Gender-transition hormones and procedures can leave children sterilized and permanently scarred. It’s good to see state lawmakers propose legislation to protect children from these hormones and procedures.
