Arkansas

In recent years, Arkansas has passed several new restrictions on abortion. In 2019, the state passed a law banning abortions based on a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The law is currently blocked by a federal court injunction. Arkansas is also one of several states that has passed a "trigger law," which would ban abortion if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that established the right to abortion nationwide.

Overall, access to abortion in Arkansas is limited by state law, and women seeking an abortion may face significant barriers to obtaining the care they need.
