Another Life Saved From Abortion in Little Rock

Abortion, , ,

Last Friday we wrote about twin unborn babies saved from abortion thanks to pro-life volunteers praying outside the surgical abortion facility in Little Rock.

Yesterday we received even more good news about a mom who is choosing adoption instead of abortion — once again thanks to the prayers and volunteer efforts of Arkansans.

Shawn Carney with 40 Days for Life writes,

Because the abortion facility in Little Rock only does surgical abortions three days per week, they schedule a LOT of appointments on abortion days–more than the parking lot can accommodate.

As an abortion client walked from the overflow parking area, a volunteer named Patricia offered her a free ultrasound at a pregnancy resource center. The mom was interested and asked whether they could help her with adoption.

“She left with an appointment at the pregnancy resource center,” Little Rock leader Toni said. “And SHE NEVER EVEN WENT INTO THE ABORTION FACILITY!”

This is what happens when people come together to pray against abortion and give women with unplanned pregnancies real options besides abortion.

As we said last week, every year we hear stories from other states about lives saved, abortion clinics shut down, and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign. This is yet another one of those amazing stories, and it happened right here in Arkansas!

118 AR Ministers, Church Leaders Sign Letter Against Casino Proposal

Casinos, ,

On Monday Family Council Action Committee released an open letter from ministers and church leaders opposed to Issue 4, a proposed state constitutional amendment authorizing four casinos in Arkansas.

The letter reads,

As ministers and leaders in Arkansas, one of our primary responsibilities is to lead God’s people and protect them from any and all forms of harm and danger. That is why we are each signing this letter in opposition to the proposed ballot measure Issue 4.

Issue 4 would amend our state’s constitution to legalize casino gambling in Arkansas. This is not a political issue or an economic issue. This is a social and moral issue. Passing Issue 4 quite literally would wreck families and ruin lives in Arkansas.

Casino gambling is tied to crime, bankruptcy, homelessness, domestic violence, divorce, and suicide. Countless children have gone hungry and been neglected, living in poverty, because of a parent’s gambling addiction.

It is our sincere conviction that legalizing casino gambling in Arkansas will harm the families and communities we are called to serve. As Christians, we are instructed to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Issue 4 would hurt our neighbors and their loved ones. For this reason, we oppose Issue 4 and we hope that other Arkansans will as well.

Altogether, 118 ministers and church leaders signed the letter, including former Baptist pastor and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; Pastor Ronnie Floyd; and Pastor Greg Sykes, President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
