Family Policy Alliance Endorses Arkansas Issue 3

Religious Freedom

On Friday Family Policy Alliance endorsed Issue 3, the Arkansas Religious Freedom Amendment.

In a statement, attorney Autumn Leva, a Senior Vice President for Family Policy Alliance, wrote,

Family Policy Alliance fully endorses Ballot Issue 3. Issue 3 contains common language used to protect religious freedom, ensuring that government actors cannot run roughshod over a person’s religious freedom rights simply because they don’t like the religion. We wholeheartedly encourage Arkansas voters to support Issue 3 on their ballot.

The Arkansas Legislature voted last year to place Issue 3 on the ballot.

Issue 3’s language is nearly identical to a religious freedom law that Arkansas passed in 2015 and a religious freedom amendment Alabama passed in the 1990s.

Issue 3 protects everyone’s free exercise of religion. It is great to see Family Policy Alliance endorse this good amendment in Arkansas.

Color of Chaos

LGBT

In the age of the internet, it is said that no parody is too ridiculous for at least someone to take seriously. These days, however, the opposite is true too. Serious content can seem like parody.

For example, Microsoft’s new “pride flag” background features hundreds of bars of random color interspersed with symbols burst from the center of the image like a psychedelic trip through hyperspace. The company boasts that it combines the flags of “40 LBGTQIA+ communities” and that it is an open template to which anybody can add more colors and symbols.

Transgender, “genderfluid,” “abrosexual,” “polysexual,” and “genderflux” are just a few of the identities represented, and “chaos” is a good description of the ideology behind them all. Many have nothing in common except for a rejection of the created sexes and marriage.

Just like an ideology that affirms everything, a flag that affirms everyone’s ideas about gender and the body ends in self-parody and as a source of headaches.

U of A Poll Continues to Show Arkansans Oppose Abortion

Abortion, , ,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, November 3, 2022

LITTLE ROCK – On Thursday the University of Arkansas released the results of its annual Arkansas Poll. The results show the vast majority of likely voters in Arkansas believe abortion should be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Family Council President Jerry Cox released a statement, saying, “The Arkansas Poll has demonstrated year after year that Arkansas is a pro-life state. Across the board, 72% of likely voters said abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances. Arkansans oppose abortion on demand, and Arkansas’ laws reflect that fact.”

Cox praised lawmakers and the governor for enacting pro-life legislation in recent years. “Since 2011, the Arkansas Legislature has passed more than 40 pro-life measures that protect women and unborn children from abortion, including laws the prohibit doctors from performing an abortion unless the mother’s life is at risk. Governor Hutchinson has signed more pro-life legislation than any governor we know in U.S. history, and Attorney General Rutledge’s team has successfully defended pro-life laws in court. This year the state is offering pregnancy help organizations a million dollars in funding to help women with unplanned pregnancies. Today there is no safer place for women and unborn children than Arkansas. I expect groups like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and those who profit financially from abortion will work to weaken Arkansas’ pro-life laws in the coming year. Family Council is committed to working with other pro-lifers to uphold our good laws and protect women and unborn children from abortion.”
