On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade and paved the way for states to enact their own abortion laws.

Since then the pro-abortion terror group Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks against pro-life charities across the country.

The attacks include vandalism at a pregnancy resource center in California; arson at a center in Colorado; a molotov cocktail attack against a Washington pregnancy resource center; and others.

Members of Congress and the U.S. Senate have condemned Jane’s Revenge and called for investigations into the terror group.

In one manifesto dated June 26, the pro-abortion terror group threatened to escalate the violence, writing,

This attack is nothing in comparison to what is in store for you. Some spray paint will be the least of your worries. For decades you have bombed abortion clinics and murdered doctors. We fight not just for abortion rights, but for trans liberation, ecological harmony, decolonization, the destruction of white supremacy and capitalism, and the uprooting of the entire global civilization.

We will hunt you down and make your lives a living hell. You started this war but we will win it. So far its just been pregnancy crisis centers, but tomorrow it might be your cars, your homes, or even your lives. We support a diversity of tactics and we will not step down in this fight.

What Does Arkansas’ Abortion Ban Actually Say?

Abortion, , , , ,
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge (left) and Family Council President Jerry Cox hold the official certification that Roe is reversed and Act 180 of 2019 is in effect.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade, Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge certified that Act 180 of 2019 prohibiting abortion except to save the life of the mother is in effect.

Family Council worked in support of Act 180 with our friends in the Arkansas Legislature and with other pro-life organizations.

Below is a brief overview of the law:

  • Act 180 is a “trigger law” that was designed to take effect when Roe v. Wade was overturned.
  • Act 180 prohibits abortion in Arkansas except to save the mother’s life.
  • It says anyone who performs an illegal abortion can be fined up to $100,000 and imprisoned for up to 10 years.
  • It does not prosecute a woman who has an illegal abortion.
  • It doesn’t criminalize miscarriage.
  • The law permits procedures to remove an unborn baby who has died as a result of a miscarriage.
  • It doesn’t apply to ectopic pregnancies.
  • Act 180 doesn’t prohibit an OB/GYN from inducing labor or performing an emergency C-section.
  • It contains clear exceptions for contraception—including the “morning after” pill or Plan B.
  • Act 180 doesn’t prevent a pregnant woman from receiving medical treatments—such as chemotherapy—that carry risk for the unborn child.

Act 180 of 2019 had 47 legislative sponsors and co-sponsors.

Three-quarters of the Arkansas Legislature voted in favor of the measure, and Governor Hutchinson signed it on February 19, 2019.

Public opinion polling shows 79% of likely voters in Arkansas believe abortion should be either completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Act 180 reflects that. It generally prohibits abortion, but it makes exceptions for serious medical complications—like an ectopic pregnancy—and for circumstances when the mother’s life is in jeopardy.

Abortion Facility Owner Found “Not Guilty” of Assault

Abortion, , ,

On Wednesday abortion facility owner Natalie Tvedten was found “not guilty” of First Degree Assault at a trial in Little Rock.

Warrant and arrest reports indicated that Tvedten faced two counts of Assault in the First Degree for allegedly trying to strike pro-lifers with her vehicle while they prayed on the public easement outside Little Rock Family Planning Services on July 13, 2021.

Little Rock Family Planning Services is Arkansas’ only licensed surgical abortion facility. The facility recently stopped performing abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade on June 24.

Family Council has collected Little Rock Police reports documenting multiple close calls that pro-lifers have had with vehicles outside the surgical abortion facility over the years.

Below is video footage of the the July 13 incident that Family Council obtained last year via Arkansas’ Freedom of Information Act.
