Last week, in part two of our series, we talked about Rep. Gary Stubblefield’s bill (HB2159), which would have made clear that a pregnant woman has the right to defend her unborn child against criminal assault. This week, we’ll briefly highlight another great pro-life bill that didn’t pass last session—one by Rep. Bruce Westerman.
Last week, we kicked off a blog series called Pro-Life Legislation That Arkansas Needs and discussed SB113, a bill filed by Sen. Cecile Bledsoe (R-Rogers) that would have prevented public funds in Arkansas from being used for abortions under Obamacare. Our focus this week will be HB2159, the Pregnant Woman’s Protection Act, by Rep. Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch).
A lot happened at the Legislature this year. Technically, the House and Senate have not adjourned yet, but it looks like the only thing they have left to discuss is redrawing congressional district boundaries.
Family Council published nearly three dozen blog posts about the Legislature from January to April. We’ve compiled many of those posts into one simple e-book you can download for free.
You can read about major votes, pieces of legislation, or just daily life at the Capitol. The book includes many of the pictures we took while working day in and day out in Little Rock. The chapters of the book more or less follow the chronological order of events out at the Capitol, making it fairly easy to follow.
You can download this free e-book and our other e-book, Abolishing Arkansas’ Lottery, for free by going to our e-books page.
