Details about the Monument

On March 16, 2023, Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders officially enacted SB307 (Act 310) from the Regular Session of 2023 authorizing the establishment of a sacred “monument to the unborn” within the esteemed grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol.  Senate Bill 307 was introduced by Senators Kim Hammer, Tyler Dees, and John Payton, along with Representative Mary Bentley, to create a monument to the unborn and amend the law concerning the duties of the Secretary of State.

Senate Bill 307 establishes a trust fund called the “Monument to Unborn Children Display Fund” to receive gifts, grants, and donations. This fund is designated to erect and maintain a monument on the State Capitol grounds commemorating unborn children aborted during the era of Roe v. Wade (1973).
