Arkansas governor signs near-total abortion ban into law.
Quote:The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas called the ban “cruel and
unconstitutional.” “Governor Hutchinson: we’ll see you in court,” ACLU of
Arkansas Executive Director Holly Dickson said.
“This is politics at its very worst,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president of
Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement. “At a time when
people need economic relief and basic safety precautions, dismantling
abortion access is cruel, dangerous, and blatantly unjust.”
