LaGrange, Arkansas Affirms It Is Pro-Life

Abortion, Pro-Life, , , , ,

On Thursday the Town of LaGrange in eastern Arkansas passed a resolution affirming it is a Pro-Life City.

LaGrange is located south of Marianna in Lee County — both of which have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life as well.

This year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch). Act 392 affirms that municipalities in Arkansas can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

Arkansas has added several Pro-Life Communities since last spring — including Washington, Benton, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, and White counties.

The City of Mariana, the City of Russellville, and the City of Springdale have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life as well.

Public opinion polling shows that the vast majority of Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Arkansas is a firmly pro-life state, so it makes sense that communities like LaGrange would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.

Arkansas Joins Coalition of States Opposing Biden Administration’s Vaccine Mandate

COVID-19,

Last Friday Arkansas’ Attorney General’s office joined a coalition of states led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt challenging the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for private employers.

Last week the Labor Department issued an emergency rule requiring employers with 100 or more workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine or get tested for the disease each week. According to the Daily Signal, the Biden Administration intends to enforce the rule through OSHA.

Missouri and ten other states — including Arkansas — responded by filing a lawsuit in federal court calling the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate “unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise.”

Besides Arkansas and Missouri, other states joining the lawsuit include Arizona, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Wyoming.

Attorneys representing the Home School Legal Defense Association and the Christian Employers Alliance joined the lawsuit as well.
