Planned Parenthood Attacks Sen. Jason Rapert for Pro-Life Stance
This is the front and back of a flier that Planned Parenthood is dropping at doors in Conway attacking Sen. Jason Rapert. As you can see, nothing is too low for Planned Parenthood.

Yesterday we told you about Governor Beebe’s decision to veto HB1037 by Rep. Andy Mayberry. This good pro-life bill prohibits abortion once the unborn baby can feel pain—about 20 weeks—except in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother’s life or physical wellbeing are in jeopardy.
Today the Arkansas House of Representatives voted to override the veto with 53 votes.
Tomorrow the Arkansas Senate will weigh whether or not to override it as well. If they do, HB1037 will become law.
You can call your senator, and ask him or her to vote to override the veto. Just call 501-682-2902 to leave a message for your senator.
A Note From the Desk of Family Council President Jerry Cox
On Thursday the Arkansas House of Representatives made history by passing three pro-life bills in the same afternoon. Not many years ago, we had to work very hard just to find a legislator who would introduce a pro-life bill. Over the years, Arkansas has become the fourth most pro-life state in the nation with Democrats controlling both houses of the legislature. Today, Republicans are in the majority and we’re enjoying great bi-partisan success on this issue.
