(Worthy News) – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is set to sign Senate Bill 6, which would ban abortion in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother.
The measure, titled “Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act,” was introduced by Republican Sen. Jason Rapert and Rep. Mary Bentley, according to the bill filed on Feb. 9.
“I will sign SB6 because of overwhelming legislative support and my sincere and long-held pro-life convictions,” the Republican governor wrote in a Tuesday statement. “SB6 is in contradiction of binding precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is the intent of the legislation to set the stage for the Supreme Court overturning current case law.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
