Abortion, Video, , , ,

Pro-lifers in Arkansas recently gathered to celebrate the sanctity and dignity of human life.

Our friends at Arkansas Right to Life write:

The 48th Annual March for Life was held on Jan. 18, 2026, along Capital Avenue to the steps of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock, Ark. The observance is a peaceful and prayerful event that attracts thousands of Arkansans from across the state including churches and families to remember the estimated 60-plus million unborn children killed by legal abortion. The keynote speaker was Cathrine Pressly Herring who shared her story about unknowingly being given the pill and the consequences that followed.

Assisted Suicide Puts Pressure on Vulnerable Patients

Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, , , ,

Last month, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a deal to legalize assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.

The so-called “Medical Aid in Dying Act” is supposed to make it possible for patients expected to die within six months to request a prescription for lethal drugs.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a similar assisted suicide law in December as well.

Despite the claim that these types of laws contain “safeguards,” patients facing expensive medical care also face pressure to opt for assisted suicide or euthanasia.

In 2019 a Canadian man with ALS made headlines when he chose to take his own life under the country’s assisted suicide and euthanasia laws after the government chose not to provide him with 24-hour home healthcare services due to cost.

In parts of the U.S. where physician-assisted suicide is legal, insurance companies have refused to pay for patients’ medical care, but have offered to cover assisted-suicide drugs.

Arkansas protects innocent human life from conception to natural death. We must resist laws that would pressure people into ending their lives. There is nothing “compassionate” about giving someone a prescription for lethal drugs.

Planned Parenthood PAC Reports No Arkansas Activity During Final Quarter of 2025

Abortion, , , ,

Planned Parenthood’s most recent political action committee report shows the organization did not spend any money campaigning in Arkansas during the final three months of 2025.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortionist. In 2024, the group endorsed two candidates running for the Arkansas House of Representatives. In 2020, Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million working to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion. As part of that plan, the group used its political action committee in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

Planned Parenthood’s website says its 2026 candidate endorsements for Arkansas are “coming soon.”

However, Planned Parenthood has spent no money campaigning in Arkansas so far this election cycle. That’s a good thing.

Planned Parenthood’s PAC has roughly $11,400 at its disposal right now. It remains to be seen what role the organization will play in Arkansas in the coming months.
