Group Releases Video Calling Late Term Abortion a “Made Up” Idea

Abortion, , , ,

On Monday the group Arkansans for Limited Government posted a YouTube video titled “Why late term abortions aren’t a thing.”

The video’s purpose is to “talk about some of the lies that are being spread about the Arkansas Abortion Amendment.”

The only “lie” the video discusses is whether or not late term abortions actually occur, alleging that “late term abortion” is “a made up term.”

You can watch the video below.

Arkansans for Limited Government is circulating petitions to place the Arkansas Abortion Amendment on the ballot this November.

If passed, the Arkansas Abortion Amendment would allow thousands of elective abortions in Arkansas every year.

The amendment does not contain any medical licensing or health and safety standards for abortion.

It includes sweeping health exceptions that would permit abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy in many cases.

The measure would prevent the Arkansas Legislature from restricting abortion during the first five months of pregnancy.

The amendment also would pave the way for publicly funded abortion in Arkansas by writing abortion into the constitution and changing Amendment 68 that currently prohibits taxpayer funded abortion in the state.

Family Council has produced an educational video explaining what the abortion amendment would mean for Arkansas, if passed. You can watch it below.

Group Hires Canvassers to Put Abortion on the Ballot in Arkansas

Abortion, , , ,

The group working to enshrine abortion into the Arkansas Constitution has hired more than a dozen canvassers to collect signatures for its statewide petition drive, according to documents obtained from the Secretary of State’s office via the Freedom of Information Act.

Arkansans for Limited Government has until July 5 to collect 90,704 valid signatures from registered voters. As of April 30, the group has raised nearly $350,000 for its campaign, and it appears at least some of that money is being used to pay petition canvassers.

State law lets ballot question committees hire Arkansas residents as petition canvassers to collect signatures.

The list obtained via FOIA indicates Arkansans for Limited Government currently has 15 paid canvassers — all of whom appear to have been active since May 7 or later. The paid canvasser list is available below.

If passed, the Arkansas Abortion Amendment would write abortion into the state constitution, allowing thousands of elective abortions in Arkansas every year.

The amendment does not contain any medical licensing or health and safety standards for abortion, and it automatically nullifies all state laws that conflict with the amendment. That jeopardizes even the most basic restrictions on abortion.

The measure contains sweeping health exceptions that would permit abortion through all nine months of pregnancy in many cases.

The amendment also would pave the way for publicly funded abortion in Arkansas by changing Amendment 68 to the Arkansas Constitution that currently prohibits taxpayer funded abortion in the state.

To date, multiple organizations have come out against the amendment, including:
