TL;DR Summary

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has signed a new law allowing the creation of a privately funded "monument to the unborn" near the state Capitol, marking the number of abortions performed in Arkansas before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. The monument will be overseen by the Capitol Arts and Grounds Commission, with input from anti-abortion groups. The proposal faced opposition from some anti-abortion Republicans who said it was counterproductive, and Democrats who said the monument proposal was divisive.
