Planned Parenthood Facility in Rogers Taking Appointments Ahead of Tuesday Opening

Abortion, Planned Parenthood, , , ,

According to Planned Parenthood’s website, the abortion giant’s facility in Rogers is taking appointments ahead of its official opening this week.

Recently Family Council learned that Planned Parenthood has worked to acquire a facility at 1222 West Poplar Street in Rogers, Arkansas, that could be used to perform abortions.

The Planned Parenthood center in Rogers is slated to open Tuesday, September 14.

Planned Parenthood has indicated the facility eventually will be used as an abortion center. However, for now the group’s website says it will offer abortion referrals.

Planned Parenthood operates chemical abortion facilities in Little Rock and in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The facility in Rogers could refer women to either of those locations for abortions.

Pro-lifers in Northwest Arkansas intend to be present at the Planned Parenthood facility when it opens on Tuesday.

They also have organized a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign that will begin on September 22, and a Life Chain event outside the facility on October 3.

And a mobile pro-life pregnancy resource center is scheduled to provide services to women outside the Planned Parenthood facility on a regular basis.

Planned Parenthood may be on the move in Northwest Arkansas — but pro-lifers are as well.

Jackson County Declares Itself Pro-Life

Pro-Life, , , ,

On Thursday the quorum court in Jackson County, Arkansas, adopted a resolution affirming that the county is Pro-Life.

The resolution reads,

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-8

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE QUORUM COURT OF THE COUNTY OF JACKSON, STATE OF ARKANSAS, A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED: A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT JACKSON COUNTY IS A PRO-LIFE COUNTY.

WHEREAS, the Declaration of Independence declares that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; 

WHEREAS, Amendment 68 to the Arkansas Constitution states that the policy of the State of Arkansas is to protect the life of every unborn child from conception until birth; and

WHEREAS, it is the duty of state and local governments to protect the unalienable right to life of every person within their respective jurisdictions; and

WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court stated in Poelker v. Doe, 432 U.S. 519 (1977), that the United States Constitution does not forbid a local government, pursuant to democratic processes, from expressing a preference for normal childbirth instead of abortion;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE QUORUM COURT OF JACKSON COUNTY, ARKANSAS, that Jackson County, Arkansas, declares itself to be a Pro-Life County, committed to the protection of all lives, including the lives of the unborn.

Jackson County is Arkansas’ latest Pro-Life County.

This year Washington, Benton, Crawford, Cleburne, and Pope counties have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life. Springdale passed a pro-life resolution in 2019, and Jonesboro is currently considering passage of a similar resolution.

Last spring the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021. This good law recognizes that municipalities can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

In 1977 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in its Poelker v. Doe decision that communities can adopt pro-life resolutions and policies. Act 392 tracks with that supreme court decision.

Any community can pass a pro-life resolution like the ones that these municipalities have passed.
