Updated: Woman Taken from LR Abortion Facility by Ambulance

Abortion, , , ,

On Friday pro-life volunteers say a woman was taken via ambulance from a surgical abortion facility in Little Rock.

The Facebook group for 40 Days for Life in Little Rock posted a photo of an ambulance arriving at Little Rock Family Planning Services.

The photo was capitoned, “Pray for the mom who had to leave the abortion clinic by ambulance today. #abortionhurtswomen”

We have written repeatedly about ambulance at abortion facilities in Little Rock and elsewhere.

Abortion takes the life of an unborn child, and it carries serious health risks for women.

That’s why Arkansas has passed several laws that protect women from unsafe abortion practices and help give women real options besides abortion. Unfortunately, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood have challenged some of these good laws in court.

40 Days for Life is happening in Little Rock right now.

This is a great opportunity for pro-lifers to gather outside abortion facilities and pray that abortion will end.

Updated at 4:15 PM Friday, February 28, 2020:

Pro-life volunteers report that a hearse also was seen at the surgical abortion facility in Little Rock around 2:00 PM Friday.

The hearse’s presence at the facility presumably had nothing to do with the ambulance seen earlier in the day at the same facility.

One volunteer told us the hearse picked up a small box.

In nearly 20 years of praying regularly outside the abortion facility, this volunteer said it was only the second time she had ever seen a hearse pick up a box from an abortion facility.

State Board Fines Marijuana Store for Two Violations

Marijuana

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports this week that the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board voted to fine a Hot Springs marijuana dispensary $1,000 over two violations, writing:

State inspectors found five violations [by Green Springs Medical marijuana dispensary of Hot Springs] in July:

• Failure to properly label stored medical marijuana.

• Failure to maintain video surveillance.

• Failure to maintain biometric locks on doors.

• Failure to restrict access to marijuana storage areas.

• Display of improper signage.

Doralee Chandler, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, dismissed the violations related to video surveillance and access restrictions last month, but she sustained the other three violations.

The board then dismissed the violation related to biometric locks . . . but it sustained the final two violations.

The newspaper reports that Green Springs has sold more than 1,400 pounds of marijuana since last May.

Considering that so-called “medical” marijuana in Arkansas typically sells for about $15 per gram, that’s several million dollars worth of marijuana.

Marijuana use is tied to stroke, heart problems, and hypertension as well as permanent loss in IQ and an increased risk for schizophrenia.

That’s part of the reason why the U.S. Surgeon General has issued warnings about marijuana.

As we have said for years: Marijuana may be many things, but “harmless” simply is not one of them.

Abortion, , , ,

Good news!

On Tuesday afternoon the group 40 Days for Life posted on Facebook that a baby was saved from being aborted at Little Rock’s surgical abortion facility.

The group posted,

Wonderful news from today, even though the 40 Days campaign hasn’t officially started yet … a young couple who went into the abortion clinic today changed their mind and chose life for their baby! Pray for them as they start the journey of parenting.

Two weeks earlier, the group wrote that another baby was saved from abortion as well.

This is really great news!

40 Days for Life hosts prayer vigils outside abortion facilities across America — including the surgical abortion facility in Little Rock — twice a year.

Their spring vigil is happening right now.

Pro-lifers will gather for peaceful prayer outside abortion facilities from now until Easter.
