Dear Friend,
I am emailing you today to ask that you help us pass two other
pieces of needed legislation we have been working very hard on:
the “Medical
Ethics Defense Act” (SB 641) and the “Youth
Health Protection Act” (SB 639).
The “Medical Ethics Defense (MED) Act” protects the conscience
rights of medical professionals and entities from being forced to
provide any health care service which violates their conscience. The
second bill, titled the “Youth Health Protection Act,” protects
gender-confused children against medical transitioning procedures
including sterilization, mastectomies, castrations, puberty blockers,
cross-sex hormones and other life-altering procedures and
treatments.
What these bills share in common is a goal of preserving
the central tenet of Western medical practice: doing no harm; either
to one's body, or one's conscience.
Lately, there has been a concentrated attack on the ethics and
personal beliefs of medical professionals. It has unfortunately driven
out doctors, nurses, and other entities from medical practices. In
addition, as we have shown in the stories of detransitioned
individuals such as Chloe and Prisha,
there is an attack against the bodies of youth in our very own state.
Our two bills will stop the hemorrhaging of talent in the medical
community, as well as protect vulnerable children in our state.
Would you consider helping us pass legislation like the “Youth
Health Protection Act” and the “Medical
Ethics Defense Act” in the NC General
Assembly this session? Just use these easy and time-saving
click-to-contact tools to email your NC Representatives and ask them
to pass our bills.
In gratitude,
Tami & Team, NC Values
