Arkansas Republicans Propose a Monument to Unborn Fetuses
“As a memorial to the lives lost from 1973 to 2022 due to the decisions of the United States Supreme Court, and as a constant reminder of our duty to protect the life of every innocent human person, no matter how young or old, or how helpless and vulnerable that person may be, it is the intent of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas to enact the Monument to Unborn Children Display Act … and the Monument to Unborn Children Display Fund,” the legislation states.
State Rep. Kim Hammer ® proposed the bill, and three of his colleagues cosponsored it: Tyler Dees, John Peyton and Mary Bentley. The statue would be called the “Monument for the Unborn.”
Nevermind that Arkansas has recently been ranked one of the worst states in the nation for overall “child well-being” in a 2022 study that measures factors like education and mental health, and the life expectancy among adults in the state is among the worst in the nation due to higher rates of disease and suicide. Also, nevermind that overturning Roe didn’t end abortion in Arkansas or anywhere else—it just made the situation more miserable and dangerous for people who don’t want to be pregnant.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
