The law sets up a “Monument to Unborn Children Display Fund” to raise money “for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a suitable monument on the State Capitol grounds commemorating unborn children aborted during the era of Roe v. Wade,” and requires the Arkansas secretary of state to “permit and arrange placement” of the memorial.
“This is a really simple bill which will allow citizens in the state to donate money for a monument so that we never forget the lives that were lost,” Bentley said.
The legislation establishes trust fund for privately supported Capitol memorial that mourns “unborn children aborted” in Arkansas. The bill estimates that between 1973 and 2022, at least 236,243 unborn children were aborted in Arkansas.
