Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities is sponsoring the Nine Days for Life campaign, a novena for the respect and protection of all human life. “How can we better support people? This is the one opportunity that everyone in Arkansas, all Catholics and our guests, have to come together and give thanks to God for the gift of life, to celebrate life and to pray about how we can build a culture of life together.” “There's a renewed sense of call to action,” she said. “We can give thanks to God for the fact that abortion is illegal in Arkansas, but also recognize what we need to do, how we need to support life in every stage, in every circumstance. “There is this sense of, ‘Yay! We accomplished this change in legislation that we had been working for, praying for,’” said Catherine Phillips, director of the Diocese of Little Rock’s Respect Life Office. During a press conference June 24, the day of the court’s ruling, Attorney General Leslie Rutledge certified the law, making abortion illegal in Arkansas. In 2019, Arkansas was the fifth state to pass a “trigger law,” which would put forth a total ban on abortion in the event Roe v. The court’s ruling pushed the issue back to the states, with 18, including Arkansas, banning or restricting the procedure while others have made or are making access to abortions codified. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973, but they will also celebrate the court’s surprise overturning of Roe, last June, the fulfillment of a half-century of prayers to end federal legal protection for abortions. Participants will mournfully remember the millions of babies lost to abortion on this 50th anniversary of the U.S.

Respect Life events in the Diocese of Little Rock and across the country will take on a different meaning this year. The services must also ensure that space and cyber elements of warfighting are considered at the very beginning of their planning processes, Dickinson said.Rose Mimms, executive director of Arkansas Right to Life, displays a model of a 20-week-old fetus at the Arkansas Right to Life office in Little Rock Jan. and allies forces access to space and help defend the space domain. However, being “space savvy” doesn’t just mean having capabilities that give U.S. Those include the Army and Navy’s AN/TPY-2 radar and maritime platforms like the Navy’s Aegis combat system, he said. Spacecom is also working to leverage current capabilities deployed by the services that will give the command enhanced space domain awareness and expand the entire joint force’s ability to engage with adversaries, he said. The deployed units are equipped with various non-kinetic effects, such as electronic warfare and cyber, and give the Army an “organic ability to have or create space effects,” he added. The Army’s multi-domain task forces are an example of how one service is approaching the challenge correctly, Dickinson said. They should consider having organic capabilities in their respective operational domains that are able to create space effects to support their mission areas, he added. “The fight for and from space is inherently joint and demands a space-savvy force … that is resilient enough to fight through a degraded environment - maybe even a denied environment - while also positioned to help gain and maintain space superiority.”ĭickinson emphasized that in order to maintain space superiority, each of the services needs to understand their vulnerabilities related to the space domain. “That fight may very well start in space, so our ability to hold our adversaries at risk and create security dilemmas and ultimately deter them requires a joint, combined and partnered approach,” he said.
