Arkansas is making a move to challenge the U.S. Supreme Court on the landmark case that legalized abortion across the United States.
Despite there being no right to abortion in the Constitution, the high court’s 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade forced abortion on all 50 states – resulting over the years in the killing of more than 65 million babies in the womb. Now, Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert has introduced SB149 to put the court to the test.

“This bill is actually a rewrite of the trigger bill that we passed in our state just two years ago that I sponsored – and that bill said that as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned by the United States Supreme Court that Arkansas immediately would abolish abortion except to save the life of a mother,” he explains.
Rapert’s new bill is the trigger that would put the new law into effect if and when Roe is overturned. SB149 seeks to abolish abortion now, but is designed to be challenged in court to hopefully convince the nation’s highest court to considering abolishing its 1973 ruling. ..
