Oral Arguments for the Adoption and Foster Care Act Tomorrow

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, March 17, 2011

On Thursday, March 17, at 9 a.m. the Arkansas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for Act 1, the Arkansas Adoption and Foster Care Act.

“We’ve said all along that this issue is about child welfare,” said Family Council Action Committee President Jerry Cox. “We are confident that the Arkansas Supreme Court will rule in favor of keeping Act 1 part of Arkansas law.”

In 2008, Arkansas voters passed Act 1—a law that prevents foster or adoptive children from being place in cohabiting homes—by 57-percent of the vote.

Family Council Action Committee is a conservative 501(c)(4) organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Updated: Emergency Pro-Life Day

Monday we told you the House Public Health Committee needs to hear from you. They have seven pro-life bills pending before their committee, and every one of those bills needs a lot of support and a good vote.

Today we’re announcing an emergency Pro-Life Day at the Capitol Building in Little Rock Tuesday, March 22, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Come to the Capitol to lobby the members of the House Public Health Committee, and ask them to vote for all seven of the pro-life bills pending before their committee. These bills could fail if Arkansans do not make their voices heard. I hope you will be able to join us for Pro-Life Day this Tuesday, as we lobby for the passage of these bills. Please call our office at (501) 375-7000 for more information.

Below is a list of the bills we will be lobbying.

Call the House Public Health Committee Today!

There are seven good pro-life bills pending before the House Public Health Committee right now. Pro-abortion members of the committee are opposing these good pro-life bills. They say that the bills don’t do anything. Most observers believe some members of the committee simply don’t want to vote on these bills. I hope this is not the case, but I am afraid it is. All of these bills are likely to fail unless you call and ask the members of the House Public Health Committee to vote for the pro-life bills pending before their committee.

Below are names and phone numbers of members of the Health Committee. Click here to see some of the pro-life bills pending.
