Arkansas Abortion Amendment Threatens Rights of Unborn

Supporters of the proposed abortion amendment to the Arkansas constitution want to do away with virtually all Arkansas laws regarding abortion and allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Those who don’t think this is wrong should consider the following evidence of the humanity of the unborn.

For one, there is already a precedent in our laws recognizing it. Someone who kills a pregnant woman and causes her unborn child to die as well can be prosecuted for double murder. The unborn are considered human according to criminal law: Thirty-nine states recognize the unlawful killing of an unborn child as homicide in at least some circumstances.
