Legislation has been filed in Arkansas guaranteeing that people have a “right” to create and kill human embryos.

H.B. 1013 by Rep. Andrew Collins (D — Little Rock) governs fertility treatments in Arkansas. The bill says every individual has a “right” to receive fertility treatments from healthcare providers — including a right to sign contracts with providers concerning the way the provider handle, test, store, ship, and dispose of “the individual’s reproductive genetic material.”

The bill makes it clear that “reproductive genetic material” includes fertilized eggs and embryos.

Lawmakers will have the opportunity to discuss H.B. 1013 and other measures when they convene for their next legislative session in Little Rock on January 13.

H.B. 1013 would protect unethical practices that violate the sanctity of human life in Arkansas.

Unethical fertility clinics have come under fire for creating and killing surplus human embryos, allowing them to be used for medical experimentation, or leaving them in cold storage indefinitely.

Being pro-life means believing that human life is sacred from conception until natural death.

Human embryos are human beings — and human beings are not products that can be created and destroyed at will.

H.B. 1013 would give people and medical facilities the “right” to violate the sanctity and dignity of human life.
