BILLS PASSED BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROTECTING PARENTS, WOMEN, AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN GET VETOED BY GOVERNOR
NC Values Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald made a statement today regarding the veto of the Parental Bill of Rights, Gender Transition/Minors and Fairness in Women’s Sports Act:
“This session the General Assembly passed three pieces of legislation which would protect women’s rights, parental rights, and vulnerable children from being mutilated by medical activists. North Carolinians are fed up with government schools and so-called medical professionals who advance the transgender agenda to the detriment of children. Children are being indoctrinated in schools, girls are being denied a level playing field in sports, and minors are being chemically and surgically castrated to advance a dangerous LGBTQ agenda that the majority of the public does not support. Instead of siding with 70% of North Carolinians on protecting women’s sports from biological males stealing their opportunities, or with the 80% calling for transparency in schools, or shielding children from medical activists, Governor Cooper has sided with the small, but loud radical left. We urge legislators to swiftly override these three vetoes, and to protect North Carolina’s women, children, and families. ”
