Senate Committee Passes Pro-Life Bill

Abortion, , ,

Rep. Clemmer and Sen. RapertThis morning the Senate Public Health Committee passed a really good, pro-life bill.

House Bill 1394 by Representative Fite requires abortion doctors who perform drug-induced abortions to follow FDA protocols. The bill protects women from unsafe abortion practices, and it has the potential to save unborn children by preventing doctors from performing chemical abortions later in pregnancy than the FDA protocols allow.

The bill now goes to the entire Arkansas Senate, where it will likely be voted on later this week or early next week.

If you would like to ask your senator to support this bill when it comes up for a vote in the entire Arkansas Senate, you can leave a message with the Senate switchboard at (501) 682-2902.
