Arkansas House Advances Anti-Abortion Bill

HeadlineFeb 05, 2013

House lawmakers in Arkansas have voted to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy with no exception for women who are victims of rape or incest. The measure now heads to the state Senate, which last week passed an even harsher measure banning abortions after detection of a fetal heartbeat. Seven other states currently ban abortion at 20 weeks.
