Arkansas Amendment Would Make Killing Babies in Abortions a Constitutional Right
Life News ^ | January 10, 2024 | Jerry Cox

Arkansans for Limited Government reportedly is making a third attempt at placing its pro-abortion amendment on the 2024 ballot in Arkansas.

In Arkansas, the attorney general’s office reviews the titles and language of ballot initiatives to ensure the measure’s wording is not misleading or ambiguous. Once approved, the measure’s sponsors can begin collecting petition signatures to place it on the ballot.

Attorney General Griffin’s team has previously rejected two versions of the proposed abortion amendment, citing flaws in the measure’s text.

If passed, this amendment would write abortion into the Arkansas Constitution and erase decades of good, pro-life laws. Public opinion polling in Arkansas has shown time and again that Arkansans do not support abortion on demand.

Family Council has worked for nearly 35 years to promote and protect the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life in Arkansas. This amendment would place women and unborn children at risk. We are firmly committed to stopping abortion in our state.

The best course of action would be for the Attorney General to simply refuse to approve it, indefinitely. That’s the only way to be 100% certain it will never happen.

If it’s on the ballot, they will vote to legalize abortion.

If it gets on the ballot, then the pro-life people need to post ads describing the grisly details of late term abortions. At least some of the voters will lose enthusiasm.

The blood of Christ is not their holy sacrament but the blood of aborted babies is their evil passion. They worship it like ghouls.

Not on abortion. 2nd amendment is more important.

Constitutional Rights are God Given Rights. This fails that test in many ways and directly counters the Constitution in one obvious way.

Doesn’t matter how “red” the state is, if abortion restrictions are on the ballot, expect hordes of women to comes out to vote for abortion, even if they normally vote Republican.

I think we will find that overturning Roe was an actual setback for the pro-life movement.
