Planned Parenthood PAC Reports No Activity in Arkansas This Year

Last week Planned Parenthood’s political action committee filed its quarterly activity report with the Arkansas Secretary of State’s office.

Planned Parenthood has long been the nation’s leading abortion provider, and has supported candidates who favor abortion in Arkansas.

Last week’s reports reveal Planned Parenthood’s PAC has conducted virtually no political activity in Arkansas this year.

The PAC currently has $11,966 on hand that it could give to candidates ahead of the 2024 elections.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been reversed and abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, groups like Planned Parenthood are turning their attention toward state elections and legislation.

With that in mind, Planned Parenthood could use its PAC in Arkansas to try to influence public policy or public opinion on abortion in the coming months.

Father Regrets Wanting an Abortion

A Harvard Business Review article once advised: “Forget PowerPoint and statistics, to involve people at the deepest level you need to tell stories.” Those hoping to defend innocent life should take note.

A few weeks ago, a powerful story went viral on social media. A young father holding his infant daughter posted a confession, “God please forgive me: see the beautiful soul I wanted to abort.”

Of course, there are millions who have gone forward with that terrible choice and who know the full regret of abortion. The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is the place where these stories are told. “I didn’t defend the life of my own daughter based on misinformation, selfishness, fear, and shame,” one man admitted, “I let her die to an abortionist knife, and I died the same day.”

These stories are hard to hear and harder to tell, but they need to be told. When hidden, people are enslaved to guilt and shame. As Jesus said, “the truth sets us free.”

400+ Women From Arkansas Had Abortions in Kansas During 2022: New Report

New reports show more than 400 women from Arkansas had abortions in Kansas during 2022.

In June the State of Kansas released its annual abortion statistics. The data shows that abortions increased in the Sunflower State from 7,849 in 2021 to 12,318 in 2022.

The number of abortions performed on women from Arkansas rose from 74 in 2020 to 405 last year. Of those 405 abortions, eleven were on girls under the age of 18.

On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and abortion became prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother. Data from the Arkansas Department of Health shows that prevented an estimated 1,500 abortions last year.

Together, these numbers indicate that while hundreds of women from Arkansas traveled out of state for abortions last year, Arkansas’ pro-life laws still protected many more women and unborn children from abortion.
