Pro-Abortion Group Lobbying Arkansas Senators

Abortion, Arkansas Capitol, , , , ,

On Thursday morning the group Arkansas Abortion Support Network posted a photo of post cards addressed to Arkansas senators on the Senate Public Health Committee.

The post cards ask the senators to oppose S.B. 6, the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act.

Arkansas Abortion Support Network provides abortion facility escorts and abortion funding. The group has previously made statements opposing S.B. 6.

S.B. 6 by Sen. Jason Rapert (R – Conway) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) is a good, pro-life bill that prohibits abortion in Arkansas except when the mother’s life is in jeopardy.

It sets the stage for federal courts to overturn bad decisions like Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Arkansans are overwhelmingly pro-life.

Recent public opinion polling shows 23% of Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal, and 59% believe abortion ought to be legal only under certain circumstances.

S.B. 6 is an opportunity for Arkansas to be a real leader in the effort to end abortion in America.

Biden Administration Committed to Codifying Roe v. Wade

Abortion, , ,

Last week marked the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade abortion decision that overturned pro-life laws and legalized abortion on demand nationwide.

President Biden and Vice President Harris issued a joint press release celebrating Roe v. Wade on its anniversary.

Among other things, the statement read,

In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack.  . . .

The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe. 

Codifying Roe v. Wade would involve making the principles of the pro-abortion ruling part of U.S. federal law or the U.S. Constitution.

This would make it much more difficult for states like Arkansas to enact pro-life legislation.
