Arkansas’ Pope County Passes Pro-Life Resolution, Affirms That It Is A Pro-Life County

Pro-Life, , , ,

On September 2 the Pope County Quorum Court unanimously voted to adopt a resolution declaring the county is pro-life.

The resolution reads,

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; and

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, to the extent permitted by the Federal Government; and

WHEREAS, it is the duty of governments, such as ours, to protect this unalienable right to life of every person within our jurisdiction.

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

A photograph of an official copy of the resolution indicates that all 13 members of the quorum court voted for the resolution.

Other cities and counties across Arkansas have adopted similar resolutions affirming that they are pro-life. These resolutions help send a strong message about where Arkansans stand on abortion.

Planned Parenthood Website Says Facility in Rogers Will Be Abortion Center

Abortion, Planned Parenthood, , , ,
The “Rogers Health Center” where Planned Parenthood’s website says it will perform chemical abortions.

The website for Planned Parenthood Great Plains appears to confirm that Planned Parenthood will soon offer abortions at a facility at 1222 West Poplar Street in Rogers, Arkansas.

At this time, the website indicates that abortions at the facility will be drug-induced using the RU-486 chemical abortion regimen.

Recently Family Council learned that Planned Parenthood has worked to acquire a facility in Rogers that could be used to perform abortions. The facility was acquired by an entity called 12 Redacre LLC, but the company’s mailing address matched a mailing address for Planned Parenthood Great Plains in Overland Park, Kansas.

Since then, Planned Parenthood has confirmed to multiple news outlets that intends to reopen in Northwest Arkansas, but it has not confirmed when or where that location might be.

According to its website, the Planned Parenthood facility in Rogers will offer drug-induced abortions up to nine weeks of pregnancy, abortion counseling, abortion referrals, the morning-after pill, LGBTQ services, and other procedures.

While we are still waiting for an official announcement from Planned Parenthood, all of this seems to confirm what pro-lifers in Arkansas have suspected for several days: Planned Parenthood is opening an abortion facility in Rogers.

Pro-lifers in Northwest Arkansas are already on the move, opposing Planned Parenthood’s pro-abortion agenda through prayer and ministry outside the facility.

As we have written before, Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and it has a long history of working in Arkansas.

The organization currently operates a chemical abortion facility in Little Rock.

The group’s political action committee has been active in recent legislative races.

Prior to 2015, Planned Parenthood received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the State of Arkansas via Medicaid.

And Planned Parenthood currently is working with the ACLU to block Arkansas from enforcing pro-life legislation that passed earlier this year.
