Governor Hutchinson: Support Reproductive Justice
Dear Governor Hutchinson, Speaker Gilliam and Senator Dismang:
We, the undersigned citizens of Arkansas, support the 7th annual Rally for Reproductive Justice. It is an annual event celebrating Reproductive Justice which affirms the right to have children, the right not to have children, and the right to raise the children we have in safe and healthy environments.
We believe that all people deserve access to the reproductive health care they need, free from conflict, opposition, and shame.
We believe that all people have the right to be free from sexual assault, coercion, and violence.
You have a moral duty to support policy affirming these rights. We therefore expect that you will:
- Introduce an ethical and functional budget ensuring health and social services remain available to all Arkansans who are in need
- Support age appropriate, medically sound sex education in all Arkansas schools.
- Stop passing unconstitutional legislation that costs the citizens of Arkansas significant tax dollars to defend in losing court battles.
- Support all Arkansans’ constitutional rights without regard to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status, race, or faith.
Sincerely,
Citizens of Arkansas
