Gov. Sanders recently issued a proclamation setting aside July 23 as “Pray for Peace in Israel Day in Arkansas.”
The proclamation notes that Arkansas is committed to promoting peace and justice, and that “the State of Arkansas recognizes the importance of fostering strong bonds of friendship and support” with Israel.
It recognizes the threats and challenges Israel faces today, and calls on the State of Arkansas to join in prayer for “the peace, security, and prosperity of Israel.”
Activists are working hard to convince that abortion makes everyone safer, including babies.
In the wake of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, pro-abortion activists have launched large-scale media campaigns to drive a false narrative that pro-life laws are harmful.
For example, AP News recently shared a study that infant deaths have risen 8% in Texas since the passing of an abortion ban. The claim that more children are dying because they weren’t killed in the womb is odd enough, but the study also failed to account for the lives saved from abortion.
Another scare tactic wielded by the pro-abortion movement is telling outlying stories of women who have been victims of medical malpractice to scare other women about what their lives could be without abortion.
The answer is more clarity about the law for healthcare professionals, not greater access to abortion. After all, abortion poses risks to the health of women, and when performed “successfully,” always end in a death.
The fight for life requires us to counter this lie that abortion is healthcare.

Authorities in Arkansas continue to seize black market marijuana originating from out of state.
On Monday, the Arkansas State Police announced troopers had confiscated hundreds of pounds of illegal marijuana and THC over the course of traffic stops in June and July.
The press release indicated the drugs largely originated from outside of Arkansas.
We have written repeatedly about how marijuana’s legalization in other states has actually fueled the black market rather than weakening it.
Oregon has been flooded by illegal marijuana operations controlled by organized crime and drug cartels. Some of these marijuana operations are tied to labor trafficking and violent crime.
Right now the group Arkansans for Patient Access is actively working to drastically expand marijuana in Arkansas.
If passed, the amendment would give free marijuana cards to immigrants and out-of-state residents who come to Arkansas to use marijuana.
The amendment would guarantee marijuana growers and sellers a monopoly over the state’s marijuana industry.
Marijuana users would no longer need to show they suffer from a specific medical condition listed in state law — making it easier to use marijuana recreationally.
The measure also fails to limit the amount of THC that marijuana products can contain, and it repeals restrictions on marijuana advertising.
All of this would lead to more marijuana in the state.
