Arkansas is currently ranked 51st in maternal child health. 49/50 states, and the US territories of Guam and Puerto Rico take better care of American mothers and their babies than Arkansas does! So of course, the "solution" to this crisis that's being proposed by the Republican supermajority in the Arkansas legislature led by Reverend Huckabee's daughter is one that will only exacerbate the crisis while doing nothing to actually help Arkansas mothers and their children.
"Pro-life" my ass.

What the fuck. So we have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates IN THE COUNTRY, let’s make it even more difficult to stop an unwanted pregnancy.

I'm going to make a guess whoever wrote this is an old, religious, rural white man.
Well there's a big surprise! I can't believe it! I'm going to have a heart attack and die of not surprise!

Let's get the names of the people voting on this so we can contact them and let them know about possible consequences for their actions.
Dead teenagers, families torn apart, you know, all the usual effect of legislating sexual violence on the vulnerable.
They think they can just legalized rape forced birth, and I guess they can.
Surely once our legal means of redress are removed, all the problems will go away for them?

I am going to preface this post with stating that I am liberal and pro-abortion, but...
I feel like all of these articles are either rage-spamming or egregiously sweeping aside the point of the issue.
With the very rare (probably nonexistent) possibility of some medical-emergency-related abortions that all healthcare providers in AR are scared rigid to perform, abortion is illegal in AR. Abortion pills in AR are illegal. Mailing abortion pills to AR is illegal. This has been the case since summer of 2022 when Roe vs. Wade was overturned.
Like, tightening limits and raising penalties on something that is ALREADY illegal and that is putting SO MANY women through SO MUCH pain and anguish is just - frankly - pouring syrup on the cake at this point.
We get it. We're women, and we get it. Believe me.

And naturally in a state such as Arkansas, this will automatically pass.
