Group Releases Video Asking Arkansans to “Be a Voice for the Voiceless,” “Decline to Sign” Abortion Petition

Abortion,

Reach Church and NWA Coalition for Life recently released a statement and video urging Arkansans to “be a voice for the voiceless” by declining to sign petitions for the abortion amendment.

Arkansans for Limited Government is collecting petition signatures to place the Arkansas Abortion Amendment on the November ballot.

The amendment would write abortion into the state constitution, and it would prevent the Arkansas Legislature from restricting abortion during the first five months of pregnancy — allowing thousands of elective abortions every year and paving the way for taxpayer-funded abortions in Arkansas.

In a statement posted alongside a video on social media, Reach Church and NWA Coalition for Life said,

What you need to know about what’s on the Abortion Amendment⛔️

-It would permanently change the Arkansas constitution to allow abortion without restrictions through 18 weeks of fertilization (which is 20 weeks pregnant).

-Abortions would be legal up to birth in certain circumstances.

-Minors will not have to have parental consent to get an abortion.

-If passed, the Abortion Amendment would be a part of our constitution, and legislation cannot overturn it.

Here’s what you can do to help:

-Share this video
A lot of people are being fed misinformation from these originations. The more truth we share, the more informed everyone is.

-Decline to sign
Refuse to sign the petition to add the Abortion Amendment to the November ballot, and encourage your family and friends to do the same.

The video is available below.

The Arkansas Abortion Amendment threatens to nullify common sense health and safety laws that restrict abortion. Without these laws, Arkansas could see dangerous, unrestricted abortions — putting women and unborn children in serious jeopardy.

Arkansas Driver’s Licenses and IDs Will List “Male” or “Female” as Stated on Birth Certificate

Transgender

On Tuesday the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration announced that state-issued driver’s licenses and photo IDs would list “male” or “female” as stated on the ID-holder’s birth certificate.

The revised policy prevents ID-holders from changing the gender on their ID without documentation. It also eliminates the option of listing an “X” in place of “male” or “female.” This will better safeguard the integrity of driver’s licenses and other photo IDs the State of Arkansas issues.

In a press release, state officials said,

Effective immediately, DFA is rescinding its existing administrative practice that allows license holders to change their gender without any verifiable information, or to utilize an “X” in lieu of gender. This action restores DFA’s long-standing policy that license and ID holders must display a gender of “male” or “female,” as indicated on an original or amended birth certificate.

“This policy is just common sense. Only women give birth, men shouldn’t play women’s sports, and there are only two genders. As long as I’m Governor, Arkansas state government will not endorse nonsense,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

All previously issued licenses and IDs with the “X” designation will remain valid through the existing expiration date. Updates will take place at renewal.

Arkansas law makes it possible to change a birth certificate — including the sex listed on a birth certificate, if the person’s name legally has been changed and the person has undergone a surgical sex-change procedure. Practically speaking, the driver’s license policy announced Tuesday will ensure people follow this process outlined in state law if they want to change the gender listed on a driver’s license.
