Given that this is Arkansas we are talking about here, such contracts are not exactly easy to come by. In a state with only three abortion clinics -- one that performs surgical abortions exclusively, and two that exclusively prescribe Mifepristone-Misoprostol abortion medication -- this is a very big deal. Since they declined to hear it, the law has officially gone into effect.
