City of Lowell Fails to Pass Pro-Life Resolution

On Tuesday night the Lowell City Council failed to pass a proposed resolution affirming the city is Pro-Life.

Lowell’s pro-life resolution reportedly received three votes in favor of it and five votes against it.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch) affirming that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

To date, 18 counties and 10 cities and towns have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life communities.

We hope Lowell will eventually join these other communities across Arkansas by passing a resolution designating Lowell as a Pro-Life City.

Western Grove Unanimously Passes Pro-Life Resolution

On Tuesday, March 1, the city council in Western Grove, Arkansas, unanimously passed a resolution affirming that Western Grove is a Pro-Life City.

Western Grove is in Newton County; the Newton County Quorum Court passed a similar Pro-Life resolution earlier this week.

Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).

This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

Act 392 also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

To date, 18 counties and nine cities and towns — including Western Grove — have passed resolutions recognizing unborn children and affirming that they are Pro-Life.

Benton, Washington, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, White, Prairie, Searcy, Carrol, Newton, Boone, and Hot Spring counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have the cities and towns of Marianna, Russellville, Springdale, LaGrange, Moro, Aubrey, Haynes, and Marshall.

Public opinion polling shows that most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or permitted only under certain circumstances, and Arkansas’ pro-life laws are among the best in the nation.

With that in mind, it makes sense that so many communities in Arkansas would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the days to come!

Hot Spring County Passes Pro-Life Resolution

On Tuesday night the Hot Spring County Quorum Court passed a resolution affirming that the county is Pro-Life.

Hot Spring County joins a rapidly growing list of Pro-Life Communities in Arkansas.

Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch) recognizes that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.

The law also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.

In the wake of Act 392’s passage more than two dozen cities and counties in Arkansas have passed resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life.

To date, Washington, Benton, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, White, Prairie, Searcy, Carrol, Newton, and Boone counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — as well as the cities and towns of Marianna, Russellville, Springdale, LaGrange, Moro, Aubrey, Haynes, and Marshall.

As we have said time and again, Arkansans generally believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances, and the state’s General Assembly has passed some of the best pro-life laws in America.

In light of that, it is understandable that communities in Arkansas would adopt resolutions affirming that they are Pro-Life.

We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the coming weeks!
