We are raising the alarm, and need your help. We urgently call on all pro-life supporters of our coalition to take action that helps us save over 26,000 babies in North Carolina per year! In the next few days the NC legislature will decide what legislation will be put forward to limit abortion. This decision is being made in Republican caucuses behind closed doors, and the pro-life movement in North Carolina needs to act NOW, before a bill is filed. There is much pressure on these lawmakers to present a bill that only makes minimal changes to the current abortion law, and saves only around 4,000 babies a year. For the legislature to present a bold pro-life bill that will save over 26,000 lives a year, they need to hear from you! A Heartbeat Act that limits abortion when a heartbeat is detected in the pre-born child—about 6 weeks—will make a significant impact by saving the lives of 22,000 thousand more babies than the 13-week limit being floated in legislative chambers. States like Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina (although the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned it) and Missouri have passed Heartbeat Acts. Even Governor Ron Desantis in Florida has indicated that he will sign a Heartbeat Act into law. This is a decision that our legislators are deciding right now, and they need to hear from you as soon and frequently as possible! We are talking about saving real lives. As a result, we are organizing two important Days of Action on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (February 28th and March 1st). We’re calling on coalition members from all across the state to drive down to Raleigh and join us as we go and visit legislators in person at the General Assembly. Your presence and activism will make a critical difference in whether legislators propose a Heartbeat Act or a 13-week limit on abortion. If you would like to join us for one of these days, click here or see the event info below: WHO: You, and pro-life supporters all across NC. WHAT: Legislation Days of Pro-life Action in Support of the Heartbeat Bill. WHERE: 16 West Jones Street, Raleigh, NC.

Our annual Legislative Day of Action is on May 15th, 2024. We'll be meeting at 10am in front of the Legislative Building (16 W Jones St., Raleigh, NC). We could use your help. Our Legislative Day of Action is one of the opportunites we provide to help you share your voice with your representatives. This year, our legislative effort is focused on strengthening parental rights by: 1) restoring parental consent for all minors of medical care, 2) removing obscene books in schools, and 3) adding civil penalties for violation of SB49. If those issues are important to you, In addition to joining us for our in-person event, would you consider visiting ncvalues.org/parents and signing our petition to strengthen parental rights legislation in North Carolina? We hope to see you in the capital. If you would like to join us, contact Courtney at [email protected].
