SUPREME COURT RULING ALLOWS THE FDA TO MAINTAIN LOWER SAFETY STANDARDS FOR WOMEN SEEKING CHEMICAL ABORTIONS
NC Values Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald made a statement today regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the U.S. Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit’s decision in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine case regarding abortion drug safety and reporting requirement standards. NC Values’ sister organization, Institute for Faith and Family, filed an Amicus Brief in the case.
“Today’s Supreme Court’s decision allows the FDA to continue compromising the health and safety of women who think abortion drugs are their only option. This ruling allows dangerous DIY in-home abortions which statistically causes complications in one out of five women. Easily obtained chemical abortion drugs are also used by human traffickers and domestic abusers who force abortions on their victims.”

NEW SEX ED STANDARDS APPROVED BY STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION VIOLATE NORTH CAROLINA LAW
NC Values Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald made a statement today regarding the new sex education standards approved by North Carolina’s State Board of Education. These standards, submitted by NC’s Department of Public Instruction, violate state law by ignoring abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage as an expected standard of behavior.
“The State Board of Education has failed North Carolina’s children by adopting standards for teaching sex education in all of our public schools that promote the teaching of ‘safer sex’ techniques while minimizing the risk of pregnancy and STDs, and that fail to teach abstinence from sexual activity as an expected standard of behavior for all school-aged children, as our sex education law requires. Not only did they ignore the law, but they ignored lawmakers and hundreds of citizens who submitted public comments. These standards send a confusing message to children about sex and will escalate sexual activity, pregnancy and STD rates and will give the Planned Parenthood types a front row seat in teaching our children about sexuality.”
