Asa Hutchinson signed Senate Bill 6 (SB6) on Tuesday that bans abortions unless the life of the mother is endangered.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the controversial bill hope it could force the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade, though opponents intend to block it before the law takes effect later this year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-news-arkansas-legislation-courts-asa-hutchinson-24ca79cb9b416f81d9152f54881c7a74\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must abolish abortion in this nation just as we abolished slavery in the 19th century \u2013 all lives matter,\u201d said Republican state Sen. Jason Rapert, who is the bill\u2019s sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson was at first reluctant to sign the bill because it did not provide exceptions in the case of rape or incest, but explained in a <a href=\"https:\/\/governor.arkansas.gov\/news-media\/press-releases\/governor-hutchinson-issues-statement-on-signing-of-sb6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement<\/a> why he ultimately decided to support it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>SB6 is a pro-life bill that prohibits abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother in a medical emergency. It does not include exceptions for rape and incest.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I will sign SB6 because of overwhelming legislative support and my sincere and long-held pro-life convictions. SB6 is in contradiction of binding precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is the intent of the legislation to set the stage for the Supreme Court overturning current case law. I would have preferred the legislation to include the exceptions for rape and incest, which has been my consistent view, and such exceptions would increase the chances for a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) expressed vociferous opposition to the bill and vowed to fight its implementation.&nbsp;\u201cOnce again, Arkansas politicians have made it their business to dictate people\u2019s personal medical decisions, violate their personal autonomy, and block them from care,\u201d ACLU of Arkansas Executive Director Holly Dickson said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acluarkansas.org\/en\/press-releases\/aclu-arkansas-statement-governor-hutchinson-signing-abortion-ban-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.acluarkansas.org\/en\/press-releases\/aclu-arkansas-statement-governor-hutchinson-signing-abortion-ban-law&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1615414245487000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFM4w9K38-6Owf0lCRkDfTvf5y_4g\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis extreme abortion ban is cruel and unconstitutional and it will have accomplished nothing but cause stress for patients, while ignoring the pressing challenges Arkansans face,\u201d she added. \u201cAbortion is legal in all 50 states, including Arkansas, and we\u2019ll fight as long as it takes to keep it that way. Governor Hutchinson: we\u2019ll see you in court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Arkansas, we have continued to serve our patients under years of relentless attacks from state politicians,\u201d said Lori Williams, who is clinic director of the Little Rock Family Planning Services. \u201cThis outright ban is just the latest and most outrageous effort to block our patients from accessing vital reproductive health care. Our physicians, staff and our patients will not be intimidated by these attacks. Our doors remain open \u2013 and we will always fight to ensure that they stay that way. Our patients will continue to receive the compassionate care they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alabama\u2019s Republican-majority House and Senate approved the bill by large margins. The Senate passed it 27-7 on Feb. 22, and the House did so 75-18.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-health-secretary-nominee-on-opposing-ban-on-late-term-abortion-we-can-find-some-common-ground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biden Health Secretary Nominee On Opposing Ban On Late-Term Abortion: \u2018We Can Find Some Common Ground\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
