NC VALUES RESPONDS TO U.S. SUPREME COURT’S OPINION IN IDAHO V. UNITED STATES
In response to the U.S Supreme Court’s opinion in Idaho v. United States (also called Moyle v. United States), Tami Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the NC Values Coalition made the following statement:
“We are disappointed that the Supreme Court did not put an end to the Biden Administration’s ridiculous assertion that a federal law intended to protect the lives of mothers and babies requires hospitals and doctors to perform abortions. Abortion is not healthcare, as the Biden Administration asserts, and the law doesn’t even mention abortion. States like Idaho should be free to pass laws protecting life, without the interference of the federal government. There is no state in the country that doesn’t allow emergency medical treatment to pregnant women experiencing a life-threatening emergency. North Carolina’s pro-life law, the Care for Women, Children, and Families Act (SB20) specifically allows women to receive care in the event of a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or other medical emergency. We remain strongly opposed to any efforts to restrict pro-life laws from protecting the lives of vulnerable unborn babies, especially those that radically reinterpret laws meant to save lives, like EMTALA.”
This Supreme Court case is one of many in which the NC Values Coalition’s sister organization, the NC Values Institute, has filed an Amicus Brief this session of the Court. Our brief argues in support of protecting vulnerable preborn children and women.

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.”
