> [@Joey\_P](#): > > > [@](#): > > > > Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has signed a law to allow a monument near the state Capitol marking the number of abortions performed in Arkansas before Roe v. Wade was overturned. I like the idea of a volunteer collecting anonymously submitted reports of self-administered abortions still being practiced in Arkansas and periodically updating the number on that marker in Sharpie or something.
