State Asks Judge to Dismiss Abortionists’ Lawsuit

Abortion, , , ,

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s office has asked a federal court to dismiss a surgical abortion facility’s lawsuit against the state, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the state has issued health directives restricting elective surgeries — including surgical abortions.

In response to these directives, the ACLU and a surgical abortion facility in Arkansas filed a lawsuit against the state.

On Thursday, May 7, U.S. District Judge Brian Miller rejected the ACLU’s request that abortionists be allowed to continue with business as usual during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now the State of Arkansas is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit completely — which would rule out the possibility of the abortion facility and the ACLU appealing their case to a higher court.

All in all, this case has been a big win for Arkansas.

U.S. District Judge Brian Miller and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals both have indicated that Arkansas’ abortion restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic are constitutional.

The rulings provide precedent that may help uphold other pro-life laws that Arkansas has enacted.

Slowly but surely we are winning the fight to protect innocent human life in Arkansas.

“Price is Right” Donates Almost $100K to Planned Parenthood

Abortion, Planned Parenthood, , , ,

On Monday longtime game show The Price is Right aired a special prime time episode, during which it was announced that the show would donate money to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider.

Fox News writes,

The longest-running game show in television history aired Monday evening with regular host Drew Carey joined by Emmy-winning host of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” RuPaul. The famous drag queen was on hand to help raise money for charity, with the show promising to match all the contestants’ prize winnings with a donation to Planned Parenthood.

Contestants won big during the special, totaling $97,266 in prizes. This meant that the same dollar amount is now going to the organization [Planned Parenthood] as a charitable donation.

Approximately one-third or more of all abortions takes place in a Planned Parenthood facility.

In Arkansas, Planned Parenthood performs hundreds of drug-induced abortions every year, and the organization recently opened a brand new facility in west Little Rock while its Fayetteville facility remains closed amid relocation efforts.

Despite all of this, here’s something important to remember:

Abortion in Arkansas has declined significantly in the past 20 years.

In 2018, Arkansas’ abortion numbers hit a 42-year low, and public opinion polling shows most Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal or legal only under certain circumstances.

Slowly but surely, we’re winning the fight to protect innocent human life in Arkansas.
