It seem quality of life means nothing. A beating heart is all that matters, ignoring the condition of every other organ in the body (brain dead fetus? doesnt matter). So thinking about the condition of life *outside* of the physical body is truly too much ask of these supporters. Oh, and if you judge the painful and heartbreaking decision made by FAMILIES to terminate, then *YOU* are the immoral one. Christians indeed. http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2013/02/07/first-hand-20-week-abortion-limit-is-unfair#.URO5Maw4_bE.facebook

I am not from Arkansas here but I have to ask why you would all back elected officials that worry more about abortion then jobs and public education! Are you all trying to disguise the real truth with a war on women? To make a different view on this........is using abortion a distraction for to get your attention from real issues!

Get raped and carry that child then share that child custody with the rapist father then come back to me. Operation rescue of Kansas upset that a incest 9 year old girl got an abortion hmmm who is the more sane one here! I would call you right wing Arkansas Yankee.

LOL. So I'm a woman hater because I think a baby in the womb is a human being. I know a great many ladies that are against abortion; does that make them women haters too? Right wing? I'm conservative on some things, and I have my liberal views on other things. I'm against abortion and for the legalization of pot; what wing does that make me?

quinine also known as bark of the cinchona tree or over dose of certain herbs like black cohosh will induce abortion. NO worries Arkansas right wing women haters, all help women get abortions through the back door process.

ditto Heather and Arkansas. I have repeated it so many times...abortion is MURDER. Certain equipment can detect the HEARTBEAT AT 15 DAYS....anyway that is what my heart doctor told me. NOW TELL ME THE "FETUS" ISN'T A BABY WHEN IT IS CONCEIVED...HOW CAN ANY WOMAN KILL HER BABY. HOW CAN OUR PRESIDENT BE WILLING TO KILL HIS OWN GRANDCHILDREN TO KEEP FROM BURDENING HIS DAUGHTERS IF THEY SHOULD MAKE A MISTAKE? YEP, HE SAID IT. You didn't plant a tree, you planted a HUMAN BEING.

How is killing a 12 week old fetus and better than killing a 24 week old fetus? Killing a child is never right. It is sickening. I don't know how some people live with the choices they make. A baby is the most innocent and purest thing you will ever see in this world. Setting all religious views aside...weather you believe in God or not...where are your morals! There are people here in Arkansas that would pay huge amounts of money to be able to take that baby home and love it.

Some are afraid that killing a baby with a heartbeat will be "unconstitutional". What a hoot! The doctor is worried about being a felon if he legally murders a baby in the womb; I guess he doesn't believe in God, as he didn't mention being worried about Judgment Day for killing all those children. Hey Gov, what about the babies constitutional rights?
