In a victory for the pro-life movement, a federal court has allowed abortion restrictions in Arkansas to take effect, denying the request of pro-abortion groups seeking to invalidate the laws.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights had filed a lawsuit against Arkansas laws that ban dismemberment abortions, require doctors to inform law enforcement when a girl younger than 16 obtains an abortion, prohibit abortions based on the sex of the unborn baby, and regulate the preservation and disposal of unborn babies’ tissue.

“This lawsuit is important to the integrity of our elections and the future of our country, and particularly to protect the vote of Arkansans,” said Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge on Thursday.
“Arkansans votes will be diluted if these four states, that the state of Texas, has sued and Arkansas has filed a motion to intervene at the Supreme Court, we want to make sure that Arkansas voters are protected.”
When asked how Arkansas was harmed by what Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin did during the last election, Rutledge responded that if these states “did not adhere to the election laws,” and didn’t follow the same rules for every other state, those six Arkansas electoral votes will be diluted as results of their actions.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered the opinion of the Court, in which all other members joined except Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
