Last week the pro-life group Americans United for Life filed an amicus brief on behalf of U.S. Senators John Boozman, Tom Cotton, and 100 other pro-life members of Congress.

AUL filed the brief in federal court in defense of good restrictions that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration places on abortion drugs like RU-486.

It’s good to see Arkansas’ U.S. Senators taking a strong, pro-life stance once again.

Sens. Boozman and Cotton both voted to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court in October.

In 2015 they repeatedly called for investigations into Planned Parenthood after undercover videos showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the harvest and sale of fetal tissue.

In 2016 they joined with Arkansas four U.S. Congressmen in signing an amicus brief defending pro-life legislation in Texas.

In 2018 they co-sponsored a bill that would have banned most abortions in the U.S. after the fifth month of pregnancy. They also urged congress to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

In 2019 they co-sponsored federal legislation requiring states to report abortion data to the U.S. government.

And last January both Sens. Boozman and Cotton participated in the annual March for Life in Little Rock.

So encouraged to be with Pro-Life Arkansans at the @AR_RTL #MarchForLife in Little Rock today. Defending the most vulnerable among us is so important. I’m proud to stand — and march — with them. Sometimes we have to do more than just talk, we have to act. #ProLife pic.twitter.com/jV2074IzFl

People from across Arkansas came to the Capitol today to march for life. I’m proud to stand beside all the Arkansans who participated and are working hard to build the pro-life movement in our state. pic.twitter.com/EuOWD0Kcmp

Arkansas is very fortunate to have a congressional delegation that stands up for the sanctity of innocent human life.

Catholic Hospitals Criticized for . . . Being Catholic

The Roma Catholic Church, as many know, opposes artificial birth control and sterilization. So, neither are available at Catholic hospitals. However, for some reason, there is outrage when Catholic health care providers follow Catholic teaching.

For example, a recent Los Angeles Times’ op-ed about a hospital operated by Providence Health Care System complains that the hospital “has increasingly disallowed women’s health services when they involve any form of contraceptive care,” such as IUDs and sterilization.

In an ominous tone, the op-ed notes “the growing influence of Catholic health systems, which now account for one of every six acute care hospital beds in the country.” And, just in case readers aren’t scared enough, the article cites the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as additional cause for fear.

We should remember that Catholic hospitals care for 5 million patients per year, and the same faith that critics fear is what motivates them to care for the sick in the first place.
