Planned Parenthood Looks for Rapid Response Organizers in Little Rock, Fayetteville

Planned Parenthood wants to hire rapid response organizers to develop and execute grassroots operations in central and northwest Arkansas, according to a recent job listing.

The abortion giant reportedly is looking for individuals who can operate statewide, with a special focus on Pulaski, Faulkner, Saline, Lonoke, Washington and Benton counties.

The job listing indicates that rapid response organizers will help recruit, train, and support volunteers and interact on school campuses and with students.

The position apparently will be temporary, for the month of October.

The announcement comes as Planned Parenthood ramps up its work in Northwest Arkansas and continues to perform drug-induced abortions at its center in Little Rock.

While it seems like Planned Parenthood intends to mobilize volunteers in Arkansas, pro-lifers are on the move as well.

40 Days for Life is happening right now, with volunteers praying daily outside Planned Parenthood’s facilities in Little Rock and Rogers.

Multiple rallies and events have taken place outside the Rogers Planned Parenthood facility in recent weeks.

Life Chain events will take place in Arkansas this Sunday.

Pro-lifers are working to open new pregnancy resource centers in Little Rock and Rogers — right next door to Planned Parenthood.

Arkansas’ abortion numbers remain near historic lows.

And public opinion polling shows most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Slowly but surely, Arkansas is winning the fight to against abortion.

Marijuana Harms

According to Dr. Eric Voth in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, “There exists clear medical evidence of increased psychiatric difficulties with marijuana use, including violence, psychosis, schizophrenia, manic episodes, worsening depression and suicide.”

These effects are particularly harmful for youth.

Of course, when it comes to public policy, the cat is largely out of the bag, and probably isn’t going back in. One thing, however, is becoming more and more clear with each study, despite what proponents claimed and promised: marijuana is not the harmless thing we were sold by advocates and the state.

For the record, states should not be in the business of promoting distractions to citizens in the first place, especially harmful ones used to self-medicate symptoms of loneliness, pain, or anxiety without actually addressing the root causes. But this is particularly disturbing when they accomplish this by overselling financial windfalls and underselling the social consequences.
