The following is the first post in a two-part series by staff member Melissa Perry about the ongoing pressure from the Arkansas Insurance Department to establish a government-run health insurance exchange in our state.
Last week, we kicked off a blog series called Pro-Life Legislation That Arkansas Needs and discussed SB113, a bill filed by Sen. Cecile Bledsoe (R-Rogers) that would have prevented public funds in Arkansas from being used for abortions under Obamacare. Our focus this week will be HB2159, the Pregnant Woman’s Protection Act, by Rep. Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch).
