Pro-Abortion Groups Plan to March in Arkansas This Saturday — But Pro-Lifers Are Gathering Too

Abortion, , , , ,
Above: Pro-life events like the annual Life Chain have taken place in Arkansas for more than 30 years.

On Saturday, October 2, pro-abortion groups plan to “march for reproductive freedom” in five different cities across Arkansas:

  • Little Rock
  • Fayetteville
  • Jonesboro
  • Fort Smith
  • Mountain Home

The events are being promoted by groups such as the Arkansas Abortion Support Network and the Arkansas Coalition for Reproductive Justice.

Even though pro-abortion groups are planning events in Arkansas this weekend, pro-lifers are gathering too.

From now through October 31, prayer meetings are taking place daily outside the Planned Parenthood’s facilities in Little Rock and Rogers as part of the nationwide 40 Days for Life. Any pro-life Arkansan can take part in these prayer vigils.

Pro-lifers also will gather for Life Chain events across the state this Sunday.

These are locally organized events where pro-lifers gather to publicly support the right to life in their communities.

Life Chain events currently are scheduled in Little Rock, Fort Smith, and Rogers, among other places.

Ozark Right to Life is hosting the Life Chain on Sunday, October 3, at 2:00 p.m. in front of Planned Parenthood at 1222 W. Poplar Street in Rogers.

Again, the Life Chain events are family-friendly gatherings, and they are open to all pro-lifers in Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood Looks for Rapid Response Organizers in Little Rock, Fayetteville

Planned Parenthood,

Planned Parenthood wants to hire rapid response organizers to develop and execute grassroots operations in central and northwest Arkansas, according to a recent job listing.

The abortion giant reportedly is looking for individuals who can operate statewide, with a special focus on Pulaski, Faulkner, Saline, Lonoke, Washington and Benton counties.

The job listing indicates that rapid response organizers will help recruit, train, and support volunteers and interact on school campuses and with students.

The position apparently will be temporary, for the month of October.

The announcement comes as Planned Parenthood ramps up its work in Northwest Arkansas and continues to perform drug-induced abortions at its center in Little Rock.

While it seems like Planned Parenthood intends to mobilize volunteers in Arkansas, pro-lifers are on the move as well.

40 Days for Life is happening right now, with volunteers praying daily outside Planned Parenthood’s facilities in Little Rock and Rogers.

Multiple rallies and events have taken place outside the Rogers Planned Parenthood facility in recent weeks.

Life Chain events will take place in Arkansas this Sunday.

Pro-lifers are working to open new pregnancy resource centers in Little Rock and Rogers — right next door to Planned Parenthood.

Arkansas’ abortion numbers remain near historic lows.

And public opinion polling shows most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Slowly but surely, Arkansas is winning the fight to against abortion.

In Accordance With New Pro-Life Law, Little Rock Abortion Facilities Have Hospital Transfer Agreements With UAMS

Abortion, , ,

Last week Family Council obtained documents from the Arkansas Department of Health via the state’s Freedom of Information Act showing that abortion facilities in Little Rock have hospital transfer agreements with UAMS.

Act 740 of 2021 by Sen. Ben Gilmore (R – Crossett) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) requires each abortion facility to have a transfer agreement with a local hospital and a transport agreement with a local ambulance service.

Act 740 is similar to a Kentucky law that has survived legal challenge. It helps protect women and babies who may be victims of botched abortions.

Arkansas currently has two licensed abortion facilities — both of which are in Little Rock: Planned Parenthood and Little Rock Family Planning Services.

Planned Parenthood recently opened a facility in Rogers, but it is not yet licensed to perform abortions.

According to documents from the Arkansas Department of Health, Planned Parenthood in Little Rock has an ambulance transport agreement with MEMS and a hospital transfer agreement with UAMS.

Little Rock Family Planning Services has an ambulance transport agreement with MEMS and a hospital transfer agreement with UAMS.

We have written time and time again about ambulances sighted at the surgical abortion facility in Little Rock over the years. Incidents like these underscore why it is so important for Arkansas to pass pro-life legislation like Act 740 that will stop abortion and protect women from dangerous abortion procedures.
