Baby Saved From Abortion in Little Rock

Abortion, ,

Recently our friends at 40 Days for Life shared the exciting news that a baby was saved from abortion at the surgical abortion facility in west Little Rock.

Volunteers for 40 Days for Life in Little Rock shared the announcement on the group’s Facebook page.

In October, 40 Days for Life was able to save twin babies from being aborted at the same facility in Little Rock.

This is really great news!

40 Days for Life holds prayer vigils outside abortion facilities all over America twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall.

Unfortunately, pro-life volunteers in Little Rock have faced some backlash from abortion’s supporters.

40 Days for Life writes,

The abortion facility in Little Rock, Arkansas sold rocks to abortion supporters, who painted anti-40 Days for Life messages on them. The rocks were then placed around the abortion facility property.

One not-so-charming message read, “May the fetus you save become a gay abortion provider.”

Every year, we hear stories of lives saved and abortion facilities shut down in the wake of a 40 Days for Life vigil.

By some estimates, as many as 75% of women choose not to go through with their abortion appointment if pro-life volunteers are gathered outside the abortion facility.

Police Raid Illegal Gambling Operations in Central Arkansas

Casinos,

Earlier this week we learned that Jacksonville law enforcement raided illegal gambling operations at several gas stations and businesses.

Police reportedly executed search warrants and confiscated illegal gambling machines at:

  • Bucks Country Store
  • Citgo Flash Market
  • Citgo T-Ricks
  • Feeze Kutz
  • Han’s Citgo
  • Heards and Q Tee’s
  • Hi-Life Market
  • OK Mart / Valero
  • Roadrunner Dist.
  • Victory Express
  • 501 Vapes

With the exception of the state lottery and the casinos in Hot Springs, West Memphis, and Pine Bluff, Arkansas law generally prohibits gambling.

This isn’t the first time illegal gambling machines have cropped up in Arkansas.

In 2017 authorities in Jefferson County reportedly raided illegal gambling houses in Pine Bluff, and a judge in St. Francis County ruled against illegal gambling machines operated by the company Arkansas Amusements.

Typically these gambling machines are placed in gas stations, liquor stores, or old store fronts.

Some look and operate a lot like slot machines while others appear more like arcade games that let players gamble for money or prizes.

A proposed ballot measure would legalize games like these under the auspices of the Arkansas Lottery. If passed, gambling machines could be installed legally in gas stations, convenience stores, and other businesses as part of the state lottery — meaning many businesses would be able to operate mini-casinos in communities throughout Arkansas.

Gambling is a blight on the community. It is linked to bankruptcy, divorce, substance abuse, domestic violence, and suicide.

If you suspect an illegal gambling house is operating in your community, please notify your local authorities. Then call us at (501) 375-7000.
