A LEGAL EXPERT TELLS ME THAT’S MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR A LAWSUIT TO BE FILED AGAINST THIS LAW. I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE LAWSUIT WILL BE FINE. I MEAN ITS FORTHCOMING. I’M SURE IT WILL BE FILED BEFORE THE LAW GOES INTO EFFECT WHICH GIVES ABORTION RIGHTS GROUPS ENOUGH TIME TO EXPLORE THEIR OPTIONS AND PURSUING LEGAL ACTION PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS ONE GROUP LOOKING INTO FIGHTING AGAINST THIS LAW AS THESE EXES. LOT AND DANGEROUS PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT BANS ABORTION. IT’S HARMFUL LEGISLATION THAT CRIMINALIZES DOCTORS AND WITH PREVENT ARKANSANS FROM ACCESSING SAFE. LEGAL ABORTION, WHICH IS A PROCEDURE THAT ONE IN FOUR AMERICAN WOMEN WILL NEED IN THEIR LIFETIME. IT’S AN OUTRIGHT EXTREME ATTACK ON A WOMAN’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND IT’S PUTTING POLITICIANS IN THE DOCTORS ROOM WHERE THEY DON’T BELONG THIS NEW LAW HAS TIGHTER RESTRICTIONS THAN THE CURRENT COUNTRY STANDARD OF ROE V-- WADE, WHICH PROFESSOR LENS SAYS MIGHT BE ON PURPOSE. IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL? PROBABLY NOT NOT UNDER CURRENT LAW RIGHT? IT’S NOT CONSTITUTIONAL UNDER CURRENT LAW, BUT THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. THE WHOLE POINT IS ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE LAW. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN ARKANSAS AND ALL 50 STATES. SO WHILE BILLS LIKE THIS DO YOU SEEM REALLY SCARY ON THEIR FACE AND ARE AGAIN UNCONSTITUTIONAL WHINY DEMAND LETTERS? THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST. THE THING TO REMEMBER IS PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF STILL HERE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS STILL FIGHTING AND AS OF RIGHT NOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE CARE THAT YOU NEED. SO THERE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY TWO CLINICS AND ALL THE STATE OF ARKANSAS BOTH OF WHICH ARE IN LITTLE ROCK THAT DO OFFER ABORTION SERVICES.

S.B. 6, known as the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act, has exceptions only to "save the life or preserve the health of the child, remove a dead unborn child caused by spontaneous abortion, or remove an ectopic pregnancy."Or in the case "to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency."According to the bill, anyone who performs or attempts to perform an abortion outside the limited exceptions could be fined up to $100,000, face up to 10 years in prison, or both. Governor Hutchinson's issued the following statement on March 9, 2021: “SB6 is a pro-life bill that prohibits abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother in a medical emergency. It does not include exceptions for rape and incest."I will sign SB6 because of overwhelming legislative support and my sincere and long-held pro-life convictions. SB6 is in contradiction of binding precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is the intent of the legislation to set the stage for the Supreme Court overturning current case law. I would have preferred the legislation to include the exceptions for rape and incest, which has been my consistent view, and such exceptions would increase the chances for a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Follow this link to learn how a bill becomes a law in ArkansasGovernor Asa Hutchinson said today in a news release, "I will sign SB6 because of overwhelming legislative support and my sincere and long-held pro-life convictions."
