The Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor committee, by a voice vote, advanced House Bill 1069, with no dissenting votes heard.
Under the legislation, after screening a patient to assess whether they’ve been seen by a primary-care provider in the past six months, pharmacists would be able to prescribe and dispense no more than six month’s worth of oral contraceptives to a patient, until said patient has been seen by a primary or woman’s health care provider.
Under the bill, pharmacists must also complete a training program related to oral contraceptives that has been approved by the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy.

Under Senate Bill 6, abortion would only be allowed in cases where itâs necessary to save the life or preserve the health of the fetus or mother.
âAbortion hurts women, itâs not in their best interest to end the life of their child,â said Rose Mimms. Executive Director of Arkansas Right to Life.

Arkansas is preparing to abolish abortion – but because of expected legal challenges, it may be several years before a new law doing that can go into effect.
There s a reason the Natural State is the most pro-life state in America, according to Americans United for Life. For example, two years ago, the Natural State passed what s known as a trigger law that says if
Roe v. Wade is ever overturned – effectively making abortion a state-level decision – abortion will be illegal in Arkansas. In 2019 alone, Arkansas passed ten separate bills protecting pre-born children – as well as another measure affirmatively rejecting suicide by physician, saying that could never be considered to be medicine.
