we need a heartbeat act.

For the first time in 50 years, North Carolina legislators have the opportunity to save tens of thousands of pre-born babies annually from abortion violence, to protect women, and to provide life-saving alternatives to the brave mothers who choose life.

Two options have been floated by the General Assembly. The first is a Heartbeat Act that would protect unborn babies from abortion at the point a heart beat is detected (6-weeks). The other is a bill to protect unborn babies starting at 13-weeks, when babies’ pain receptors are starting to develop.

Based on 2020 data from the Department of Health and Human Services, a 13-week bill will save only 13% of the unborn babies currently being aborted, while a heartbeat bill will save 86% of those babies. That’s a difference of 21,902 lives. For decades, Republicans have campaigned on being pro-life. Being pro-life is easy when you can’t really do anything because of Roe v. Wade. But now saving all unborn lives from abortion is a real possibility.

Dear Neighbor,

Currently, over 30,000 abortions take place in NC each year. A Heartbeat Act will save 86% of babies in NC who are currently being killed by abortion violence.

If you believe we should protect the heartbeats of the unborn, would you consider using this handy tool to contact NC officials and ask them to pass a Heartbeat Act?

Dear Neighbor,

Currently, over 30,000 abortions take place in NC each year. Only a Heartbeat Act, which protects life after a fetal heartbeat is detected, will save 86% of babies in North Carolina who are currently being killed by abortion violence.

Do you believe we should protect the heartbeats of the unborn? If so, would you consider using this handy tool to contact or recontact your NC representatives, and ask them to pass a Heartbeat Act?
