To Authorize The Introduction Of A Nonappropriation Bill To Create The Arkansas Human Heartbeat And Human Life Civil Justice Act To Save The Lives Of Unborn Children And Protect The Health Of Women Through Civil Liability.
Impact
If enacted, SR12 will result in significant changes to the legal landscape regarding abortion in Arkansas. By instating civil liability for abortion-related offenses, the act could discourage abortion practices within the state and provide a framework for the enforcement of its provisions through private civil actions rather than public law enforcement. This bill reflects a tension with existing abortion laws, aiming to either supersede them or work in conjunction depending on subsequent legislative interpretations and judicial rulings.
Summary
Senate Resolution 12 (SR12) seeks to authorize the introduction of a non-appropriation bill termed the 'Arkansas Human Heartbeat and Human Life Civil Justice Act.' The primary goal of this legislation is to regulate and potentially abolish abortions in Arkansas, reinforcing the state's declared priority to protect unborn children and ensure the health of women. The legislation proposes civil liability to hold violators accountable for non-compliance with abortion laws, emphasizing the moral imperative perceived by the authors of the bill concerning the sanctity of life from conception.
Contention
The bill also acknowledges prior Supreme Court decisions, such as Roe v. Wade, and calls for their reconsideration based on evolving societal values and scientific advancements concerning fetal development. Supporters of SR12 argue that it represents a necessary step towards reversing what they view as judicial overreach that permits abortion practices detrimental to both unborn children and women. However, critics may view the bill as an infringement upon women's reproductive rights and a legal overreach by the state into personal healthcare decisions.
