On Saturday, pro-life volunteers placed a thousand crosses at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Bentonville to remember the 240,000 babies that have been aborted in Arkansas. The crosses are a temporary display by NWA Respect Life.
Sunday, September 14, 2025, the group will host a special march for life beginning at 2:00 PM in Rogers. The march will start at the Patriarch House next to Planned Parenthood (1230 W. Poplar in Rogers) and will proceed nearly three miles to the Metroplex Event Center (2305 S. 8th St. in Rogers). Guest speakers at the march will include State Senator Jim Dotson and National 40 Days for Life Director Heather Gardner.

Abortion in Arkansas is generally prohibited except to save the life of the mother. However, Planned Parenthood has two facilities in Arkansas — one in Little Rock and another in Rogers — as well as an abortion facility within driving distance of Northwest Arkansas.
The organization also spends millions of dollars encouraging women to cross state lines for abortion. More generally, pro-abortion lawmakers in other states have enacted “shield laws” to prevent authorities in pro-life states like Arkansas from holding abortionists accountable when they deliver abortion drugs across state lines.
It’s good to pass laws prohibiting abortion, but we must make abortion unthinkable and irrelevant as well. With that in mind, there is clearly more work to be done.
