Outrage Only Appropriate Response to Late-Term Abortions

Abortion

Awhile back, Sen. Mark Pryor was asked about his position on a bill that would make most abortions illegal after the 20th week of pregnancy. According to the news article, Sen. Pryor indicated he would need to look at the bill before making up his mind.

It is surprising that an educated person who is a United States Senator would have to make up his mind about passing a law to stop the unnecessary deaths of unborn children who are just 3 or 4 weeks shy of being able to survive outside the womb.

I hope our lawmakers read every bill before voting, but commonsense should dictate where one stands on such a clear-cut issue.

What if there was a law to protect young children from pedophiles and, when asked his position, Sen. Pryor had responded that he would need to look at the bill before making up his mind? Child abuse is wrong, so there’s nothing more to think about except how the perpetrator should be punished. These late-term abortions ought to be viewed the same way.

The only appropriate response is outrage—outrage that late-term abortions are legal in the first place. The only appropriate course of action is the make them illegal.

Abortion Advocates Give Arkansas an “F”

Abortion, , ,

NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League, has given Arkansas an “F” when it comes to passing pro-abortion legislation.

In their report, The State of Choice in the States, the pro-abortion group singled out Arkansas as the state that passed the largest number of abortion-restricting laws in 2013.

Altogether, NARAL gave 25 states a failing grade when it came to passing pro-abortion laws. The group acknowledged that 2013 saw 53 “anti-choice” bills passed nationwide, and that 807 “anti-choice” laws had been passed in the U.S. since 1995.

According to the report, 97% of Arkansas’ counties have no abortion providers. That number is surpassed only by North and South Dakota at 98% and Mississippi, a state where 99% of its counties have no abortion centers.

This “Failing” grade from NARAL comes right on the heels of Americans United For Life ranking Arkansas the third most pro-life state in the nation.
