Hot Spring County Passes Pro-Life Resolution

On Tuesday night the Hot Spring County Quorum Court passed a resolution affirming that the county is Pro-Life.

Hot Spring County joins a rapidly growing list of Pro-Life Communities in Arkansas.

Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch) recognizes that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

The law also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

In the wake of Act 392’s passage more than two dozen cities and counties in Arkansas have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life.

To date, Washington, Benton, CrawfordCleburnePopeJacksonSalineFaulknerPerrySebastianLeeWhitePrairieSearcyCarrol, Newton, and Boone counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — as well as the cities and towns of MariannaRussellvilleSpringdaleLaGrangeMoroAubrey, Haynes, and Marshall.

As we have said time and again, Arkansans generally believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances, and the state’s General Assembly has passed some of the best pro-life laws in America.

In light of that, it is understandable that communities in Arkansas would adopt resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the coming weeks!

Boone County Quorum Court Unanimously Approves Pro-Life Resolution

Above: Pro-lifers watch as the Boone County Quorum Court gives unanimous approval to a resolution affirming the county is Pro-Life.

On Tuesday night a standing-room-only crowd watched while the Boone County Quorum Court unanimously approved a resolution affirming that the county is Pro-Life.

Boone is Arkansas’ seventeenth Pro-Life County.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).

This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

Act 392 also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

To date, Washington, Benton, CrawfordCleburnePopeJacksonSalineFaulknerPerrySebastianLeeWhitePrairieSearcy, Carrol, and Newton counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have the cities and towns of MariannaRussellvilleSpringdaleLaGrangeMoroAubrey, Haynes, and Marshall.

We know from public opinion polling that most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances, and Arkansas has passed some of the best pro-life laws in the nation.

With that in mind, it makes sense that so many communities in Arkansas would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the future!

Newton County Passes Resolution Affirming It Is Pro-Life

On Monday night the Newton County Quorum Court met in Jasper, Arkansas, where they passed a resolution affirming that the Newton County is Pro-Life.

Newton County joins a growing list of communities in Arkansas that have publicly taken a pro-life position.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).

This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

Act 392 also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

To date, 16 counties have passed resolutions recognizing unborn children and affirming that they are Pro-Life, and several cities and towns have passed Pro-Life resolutions as well.

Besides Newton County, so far Washington, Benton, CrawfordCleburnePopeJacksonSalineFaulknerPerrySebastianLeeWhitePrairie, Searcy, and Carrol counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have the cities and towns of MariannaRussellvilleSpringdaleLaGrangeMoroAubrey, Haynes, and Marshall.

Public opinion polling has shown time and time again that Arkansans oppose abortion.

Most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances, and Arkansas has passed some of the strongest pro-life laws of any state in the nation.

In light of that, it makes sense that so many communities in Arkansas would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the coming week!
