On Wednesday evening Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, Rev. Franklin Graham, and Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Springdale) joined together to discuss Arkansas’ SAFE Act (H.B. 1570) and pray that Governor Asa Hutchinson will sign this good bill into law.

H.B. 1570 by Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Springdale) and Sen. Alan Clark (R – Lonsdale) prohibits gender-reassignment procedures on children in Arkansas.

Gender-reassignment surgeries can leave children sterilized and scarred for life. Medical researchers do not know the long term effects these procedures and therapies can have on kids. That is why many people equate them with experimenting on children.

H.B. 1570 will protect children in Arkansas from these dangerous procedures.

House Committee Passes Bad Bill Permitting No-Fault Divorce in Arkansas

On Tuesday the House Judiciary Committee passed H.B. 1697 by Rep. Ashley Hudson (D – Little Rock), Rep. Andrew Collins (D – Little Rock), and Sen. Greg Leding (D – Fayetteville).

This bad bill permits no-fault divorce in Arkansas.

Under current law, couples in Arkansas can divorce in cases such as infidelity, abuse, following a lengthy separation, and other circumstances.

H.B. 1697 would permit divorce due to irreconcilable differences, discord, or conflict of personalities regardless of if the husband or wife is at fault.

Arkansas already has a high divorce rate. We should pass laws encouraging people to stay married rather than making it even easier to end marriages in our state.

The bill now goes to the entire Arkansas House of Representatives for consideration.
