From our friends at March for Life:
This past month, pro-life legislators in the North Carolina General Assembly stood up for life by passing the “Care for Women, Children and Families Act” (SB 20) legislation that protects the unborn and provides critical resources to mothers and families.
Unfortunately, pro-abortion Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed this life-affirming bill. However, the state constitution allows for an override of the Governor’s veto if 60% of both chambers of the General Assembly vote to do so. We need you to contact your General Assembly members today to urge them to override the Governor’s veto and enact SB20!
TAKE ACTION NOW
The Care for Women, Children and Families Act will protect life at 12 weeks of development—a point at which an unborn baby may experience pain inside her mother’s womb, and he or she can be seen via ultrasonography sucking their thumb, yawning, and swallowing. Heartbreakingly, North Carolina law currently allows painful on demand abortions of babies up to 20 weeks, but this new law will give thousands of unborn North Carolinians a chance at life.
The Act also protects the unborn from discriminatory abortions based on s*x, race, or Down Syndrome diagnosis and guarantees that doctors provide care to babies born alive after a failed abortion.
Being pro-life means being pro-woman! The Act also exemplifies this by allocating at least $160 million towards resources for maternal health, childcare access, paid maternity leave, adoption, foster care, and other pro-family priorities.
Your pro-life General Assembly members took the first bold step in caring for both mom and baby in North Carolina. Now we need you to urge your members to override the Governor’s veto—ensuring that thousands of unborn North Carolinians will be protected, and their mothers and families supported, for generations to come.
TAKE ACTION NOW
Please share this critical, life-saving call to action with your friends, family and neighbors.
Please join me in asking our NC General Assembly to override the Governor's veto of SB 20, the "Care for Women, Children and Families Act." This life-affirming act will protect life at 12 weeks in NC! Act here: []
