This afternoon the Arkansas House of Representatives passed S.B. 340 by Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson (R-Little Rock) and Rep. Aaron Pilkington (R-Clarksville).
This good, pro-life bill prevents parents from suing doctors or hospitals for “wrongful birth.”
In other states, parents have filed “wrongful birth” lawsuits claiming their son or daughter should have been aborted.
S.B. 340 helps ensures our laws treat human life with respect and dignity and that no one is able to argue in court that a child should have been aborted.
The bill now goes to Governor Hutchinson to be signed into law.
Below is a breakdown of how the Arkansas House of Representatives voted on S.B 340.
