An Arkansas law now requires abortion centers to post signs saying coerced abortions are illegal in Arkansas.
A new abortion law went into effect in Arkansas on July 31, 2007, to help women by requiring abortion centers to post signs saying coerced abortions are illegal. The bill adds the statement about forced abortions to the state’s informed consent law that gives women info about abortion’s risks and alternatives. Under this measure, abortion businesses would be fined $1,000 dollars for each day they do not post a sign indicating that women cannot be forced to have an abortion they do not want--not by her parents, husband or boyfriend.
