Arkansas Declared Most Pro-Life State in Nation for Sixth Year Running

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) – Arkansas has once again been recognized as the most pro-life state in the United States, according to Americans United for Life (AUL). Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, joined by representatives from AUL and the Arkansas Family Council, announced the achievement at a press conference today.

AUL’s annual ranking assesses states based on laws protecting the unborn, elderly, disabled, and terminally ill.

“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,” Governor Sanders stated.

Arkansas has enacted over 65 laws since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision aimed at protecting human life. Jerry Cox, President of the Arkansas Family Council, praised state legislators for their commitment to enacting strong pro-life policies.

Recent legislation signed by Governor Sanders includes Act 973 of 2025, prohibiting abortions based on an unborn child’s race, and Act 485 of 2025, banning the administration of abortion drugs without the pregnant woman’s consent. Additional acts (1006 of 2025, 125 of 2024, and 622 of 2023) allocate $5 million to support women with unplanned pregnancies. The 2025 Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies Act directs $45 million to promote maternal health across the state.
