PRO-LIFE LEGISLATION SURVIVES PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S LEGAL ATTEMPT TO STOP MEASURE 

NC Values Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald made a statement today regarding the court’s decision to uphold most of “The Care for Women, Children and Families Act:”  

“Today’s ruling by Judge Eagles to allow the vast majority of North Carolina’s landmark pro-life law, The Care for Women, Children and Families Act, to go into effect on July 1 is a huge victory for women and their unborn babies. Starting tomorrow, unborn babies at 12 weeks gestation and later will be legally afforded the right to life. In addition, pregnant women will also benefit from the bills’ millions in appropriations which provide a safety-net of support to make it easier for them to choose life. Only a tiny, insignificant portion of the law was enjoined for two weeks, so this is a huge victory. The abortion industry will continue to fight for ways to fund their abortion mills, but NC Values will not stop until every unborn child is protected from abortion.”
