Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert (R) announced on social media Thursday that he has ordered legislation to be filed that mirror’s Texas’ abortion “heartbeat” law.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed a bill into law Wednesday that will make abortion automatically illegal in the state should Roe v. Wade be reversed or the U.S. Constitution is amended to permit states to ban the procedure.
The Arkansas Senate passed legislation Thursday that would ban abortions in the state in the event the states are once again permitted to decide whether to prohibit the procedure.
