Pro-Lifers in Arkansas Throw Baby Shower for Child Saved From Abortion

A few of the gifts and supplies that pro-lifers collected in Little Rock.

Over the weekend pro-lifers in Little Rock threw a baby shower for a mother and child saved from abortion last fall by volunteers with 40 Days for Life.

On Saturday Arkansans dropped gifts of diapers, clothes, and other baby supplies off at the pregnancy resource center next door to the surgical abortion facility in Little Rock.

40 Days for Life Little Rock posted a photo of some of the gifts at the start of the baby shower, writing,

We had a great time showering this sweet mom. (And no rain shower was a welcome bonus.)
Here’s a BEFORE photo. So many gifts … you folks just kept lavishing the love of Jesus on this mom and her baby. It took two cars full of presents to get her home! Thank you all for being so generous and showing Christ’s love.

Pro-life organizations like 40 Days for Life and local pregnancy resource centers do so much to save women and children from abortion and support families in Arkansas!

House Committee Advances Religious Freedom Amendment

On Monday the House State Agencies Committee advanced S.J.R. 14.

This good measure by Sen. Jason Rapert (R – Conway) and Rep. Jimmy Gazaway (R – Paragould) would amend the Arkansas Constitution, if approved by voters at the 2022 election.

S.J.R. 14 prevents the government from burdening a person’s free exercise of religion. The measure is similar to Arkansas’ state Religious Freedom Restoration Act. However, it writes protections for religious freedom into the Arkansas Constitution.

Family Council strongly supports this good amendment to the Arkansas Constitution. 

The measure previously passed the Arkansas Senate. It now goes to the entire Arkansas House of Representatives for consideration.
