LITTLE ROCK, Ark. \u2014<\/strong> Two lawmakers in Arkansas have filed a bill that would outlaw abortion in the state, with the exception of the life of the mother.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA person shall not purposely perform or attempt to perform an\u00a0abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency,\u201d reads Senate Bill 6<\/a>, filed on Wednesday by\u00a0Senator Jason Rapert, R-Conway, and Rep. Mary Bentley, R\u2013Perryville.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who violate the law would be subject to a $100K fine, 10 years in prison, or both. The abortive mother would not face any penalty.<\/p>\n

The legislation states that the Supreme Court is ripe for an overturn of Roe v. Wade and declares that the court committed a crime against humanity in 1973, much like when it ruled in the 1857 case of Dred Scott v. Sanford that African Americans were property rather than U.S. citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time for the United States Supreme Court to redress\u00a0and correct the grave injustice and the crime against humanity which is being\u00a0perpetuated by their decisions in Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and Planned\u00a0Parenthood v. Casey,\u201d the measure reads. \u201cThe State of Arkansas urgently pleads with the United\u00a0States Supreme Court to do the right thing, as they did in one of their\u00a0greatest cases, Brown v. Board of Education, which overturned a fifty-eight-year-old precedent of the United States \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Arkansas Family Council has backed the measure, stating that it is time to outlaw abortion rather than just talk about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people have been saying for almost fifty years that abortion should be illegal. The time has come for us to make it so,\u201d remarked President Jerry Cox in a statement<\/a>. \u201cS.B. 6 will give the U.S. Supreme Court the opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade. Family Council fully supports the passage of this good law. This is an opportunity for Arkansas to be a real leader in the effort to end abortion in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the organization has a network of approximately 10K individuals and churches throughout Arkansas, and Cox believes many of those will \u201cwant to do their part to secure [the bill\u2019s] passage.\u201d<\/p>\n
