On Monday the group Arkansans for Limited Government posted a YouTube video titled “Why late term abortions aren’t a thing.”

The video’s purpose is to “talk about some of the lies that are being spread about the Arkansas Abortion Amendment.”

The only “lie” the video discusses is whether or not late term abortions actually occur, alleging that “late term abortion” is “a made up term.”

You can watch the video below.

Arkansans for Limited Government is circulating petitions to place the Arkansas Abortion Amendment on the ballot this November.

If passed, the Arkansas Abortion Amendment would allow thousands of elective abortions in Arkansas every year.

The amendment does not contain any medical licensing or health and safety standards for abortion.

It includes sweeping health exceptions that would permit abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy in many cases.

The measure would prevent the Arkansas Legislature from restricting abortion during the first five months of pregnancy.

The amendment also would pave the way for publicly funded abortion in Arkansas by writing abortion into the constitution and changing Amendment 68 that currently prohibits taxpayer funded abortion in the state.

Family Council has produced an educational video explaining what the abortion amendment would mean for Arkansas, if passed. You can watch it below.

Gender Transition and Suicide: Guest Column

A new study published last month found that those who undergo so-called “gender transition” surgery are far more likely to attempt suicide than those who do not: over 12 times more likely, in fact. The data surveys millions of patients over the course of 20 years, from 2003 to 2023.

The data exposes just how evil it is for counselors and activists to pressure parents into “affirming” their children’s dysphoria, especially with the manipulative question, “Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter?”

And yet, shockingly, the researchers concluded the results “underlin[ed] the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support.” Really? It doesn’t underscore that these surgeries should stop? Or at the very least, that there should be sufficient pre-procedure psychiatric support instead of fast-tracking people down this dangerous line?

This study adds to a growing list of evidence that gender transition interventions, whether social, surgical or chemical, are neither cure nor care for those—especially children—struggling with gender dysphoria.
