Arkansas Governor Signs Pro-Life Bill Into Law That Bans Most Abortions
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Tuesday signed a pro-life bill that bans most abortions in the state.
While pro-life supporters hope the measure will encourage the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit its landmark Roe v. Wade decision, opponents of the law are seeking to block it before it’s enacted.
The pro-life bill, now called the “Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act,” bans all abortion, except to save the life of the mother in a medical emergency, and 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,” Hutchinson said in a statement on the signing of the bill.
