Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas has taken a significant step towards protecting the health of pregnant and post-partum women in the state by signing an executive order. The order focuses on developing a statewide plan to enhance education, access, coordination, and reporting for maternal health. Governor Sanders emphasized the importance of this initiative by stating, "Healthy moms mean healthy babies."

The executive order also aims to enroll more pregnant and postpartum women in health coverage options promptly. Caitlin Connors, the southern regional director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, commended Governor Sanders for her leadership, saying, "We are grateful for Governor Sanders’ leadership in serving moms and protecting babies."

This move by Governor Sanders aligns with the efforts of other pro-life governors across the nation to support women during and after pregnancy. Governors like Kristi Noem, Jim Pillen, Kay Ivey, Jim Justice, and Kim Reynolds have also taken steps to empower women and improve maternal health in their respective states.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a network of over one million pro-life Americans, praised the initiative in Arkansas and highlighted the collective efforts of pro-life governors nationwide to provide more support for mothers and protect the lives of unborn children.
