FROM CV<\/strong><\/a>, November 30, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a major setback to the abortion lobby in Arkansas, the state\u2019s Republican Attorney General Tim Griffin has denied an attempt to put an Ohio-style<\/mark><\/strong> pro-abortion constitutional amendment on the state\u2019s 2024 ballot for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rejected measure was known by the popular name of \u201cThe Arkansas Reproductive Healthcare Amendment.\u201d It was shepherded by \u201cArkansas For Limited Government,\u201d a pro-abortion group explicitly\u00a0formed<\/a>\u00a0to put the measure on the ballot,\u00a0similar to the group<\/a> that was behind Ohio\u2019s successful Issue 1 amendment.\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amendment\u2019s text<\/a> stated that if it passed Arkansas would not be able to \u201cpenalize, delay or restrict access to abortion within 18 weeks of conception, or in cases of rape, incest, in the event of a fatal fetal anomaly, or when abortion is needed to protect the pregnant female\u2019s life or health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Boyd of The Federalist pointed out<\/a> that Griffin\u2019s action could make all the difference where pro-life efforts in Ohio failed. <\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ohio\u2019s recently passed constitutional amendment was so deceptively worded that it left even the most staunch of abortion activists scratching their heads,\u201d Boyd noted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By demanding clarity and exposing abortion activists\u2019 deceptive petitioning practices, Griffin and other Republican Attorneys General like Ashley Moody in Florida and Marty Jackley in South Dakota ensured their states would not immediately fall prey to the unlimited abortion-for-all activism sweeping the nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
