Arkansas Named Top Pro-Life State Again
Faith Facts
- Americans United for Life ranked Arkansas as the most pro-life state for the sixth year.
- The Life List evaluates laws on abortion, assisted suicide, and conscience protections.
- The state supports mothers, foster care, and life-affirming policies.
Arkansas has once again been recognized as the leading state for upholding biblical values that protect life from the womb to natural death. The annual ranking honors Arkansas for its commitment to defending the unborn, supporting women, and strengthening families.
“Pro-life is whole life, and I’m proud that for the past six years, Arkansas has ranked number one in the nation — not just in protecting the unborn, but in preserving life from conception to natural conclusion,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The state stands out for its nearly total protection of unborn children, care for vulnerable families, and efforts to enhance adoption and maternal health programs. Lawmakers have prioritized the dignity and worth of every person, reflecting deeply held Christian convictions about the sanctity of life.
“Being pro-life is about much more than opposing abortion,” said Jerry Cox, president of Arkansas Family Council. “We are focused on helping women and families with unexpected pregnancies, and we are making sure our laws respect and protect innocent human life at every stage from conception until natural death.”
Defending the value of every person remains a vital mission. Let us stand firm in prayer and action to ensure that faith, life, and family values continue to thrive across America.
