A recent report from a prominent pro-life organization ranks all 50 states on their laws regarding abortion, assisted suicide and conscience protection for healthcare workers.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
Americans United for Life released its annual “Life List” state rankings, naming Arkansas the most pro-life state in the country for the sixth consecutive year.
“AUL looks at each state’s protections for life from conception to natural death. This includes laws on abortion, legal recognition of preborn children, bioethics, assisted suicide and end-of-life patient care, and healthcare rights of conscience,” the organization stated. “Additionally, states are awarded points for their life-affirming cultural and political landscape and momentum.”
Louisiana placed second in the United States, followed by Indiana in third place, and then Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Dakota, Arizona, Kentucky, Idaho, and Tennessee in tenth place.
By contrast, AUL designated Oregon as the least pro-life state in the country, while New Jersey was 49th, followed by Vermont, which ranked 50th last year. Hawaii, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, California and New Mexico round out the list of the 10 least pro-life states in the country.
At an event held in Little Rock last Monday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined representatives of AUL and the Arkansas Family Council to celebrate the results of the report.
“Pro-life is whole life, and I’m proud that for the past six years, Arkansas has ranked number one in the nation — not just in protecting the unborn, but in preserving life from conception to natural conclusion,” said Sanders in a statement.
“I’m thankful to the activists who have fought for this day for decades and promise that as governor, I will continue to fight every day to protect the most vulnerable among us.”
Arkansas prohibits abortion in nearly all circumstances, with a notable exception being to save the life of the mother. For her part, Sanders has also signed a ban on abortions performed due to an unborn baby’s race and allocated $5 million to help support women facing unplanned pregnancies.
The governor’s office listed additional actions Sanders has taken to advance the pro-life movement by working to improve Arkansas’ foster care and adoption system, allocating $1 million to the foster placement budget earlier this year and signing a law to allocate $45 million to promote maternal health.
“Arkansans should be proud of their state legislators for passing the best laws in the nation when it comes to protecting unborn children, the elderly, the disabled, and the terminally ill,” Arkansas Family Council President Jerry Cox said in a statement.
“Being pro-life is about much more than opposing abortion,” he added. “We are focused on helping women and families with unexpected pregnancies, and we are making sure our laws respect and protect innocent human life at every stage from conception until natural death.”
“We look forward to continuing that pro-life mission in 2026.”

You highlight that the roadmap of life-affirming culture extends beyond abortion alone, encompassing laws protecting the pre-born, the terminally ill, assisted-suicide bans, and conscience rights in healthcare. According to the annual ranking from Americans United for Life (AUL), Arkansas tops the list as the most pro-life state for the sixth consecutive year, followed by Louisiana and Indiana, while states like Oregon, New Jersey, and Vermont rank near the bottom. These findings challenge us to ask how we live out our values, to seek how each life-stage is honoured, and to walk with intentional purpose in the culture of life. Thank you for bringing this clarity into focus, may we all be stirred to respond in heart, voice and action. And for anyone desiring to go deeper in understanding the divine roadmap to life and purpose, I invite you to visit https://www.silastheworddoctor.com/.
PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD PRAISE.
Psalm 127:3 Children too are a gift from Adonai; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
Jesus loves children:
! Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
! Mark 9:42 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
! Luke 17:2 It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” Nelson Mandela
Dear Father and God Almighty, You are Creator of all life… families are Your design. Your word says children are gifts. Your Word cautions us NOT to even cause a little one to stumble. LORD, I am praying for all the states in America to revere children in the womb. I am praying for every individual in…
AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, (PA) RI, SC, SD, TN, (TX), UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY, and DC
…to be overcome by the truth and sanctity of life. For the states who are doing well….MORE. For the states who are not….CONVICTION. And may You, the God of peace sanctify us all completely, to keep our whole spirit and soul and body blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Every state in America practices Euthanasia under the phony name of Hospice. We voted against assisted suicide so the evil ones came up with hospice. Hospice is assisted suicide. At Hospice they don’t feed you or give you food unless you ask for it. Then the keep you so doped up with Ativan and morphine that a person isn’t able to ask for food and water. This is not government sponsored suicide but it is definitely doctor and nurse assisted suicide. What did we do before hospice? Many recovered! Now that isn’t possible with the nurse and doctor assisted suicide. When my aunt was in hospice in 2009 I thoroughly researched it. It is Euthanasia with a nice name. Now most of the research is covered up. FATHER GOD please continue to expose lies and murder covered by nice sounding names. YOU came to give us Life more abundantly; and for us to live out our lives until YOU call us home, not for us to
be killed by a lethal dose of morphine or Ativan or both. Please continue to expose the evil of hospice in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! Amen!
You are correct in this, CR. We label medically assisted death with terms that make is sound so nice: palliative care, comfort care, hospice. The reality is that they all use drugs to speed the process of dying. I saw this with my mother-in-law as they increased the morphine because she just wouldn’t die. Then they realized the needed to shut off her pacemaker. The immediate family did not fully understand this until much later.
Pro-life is from conception to natural death. There is nothing natural about hospice as it is practiced in most places in this country.
