DearFriend,
Earlier today, the NC Senate Health Care
Committee and the Judiciary Committee heard and passed the Human Life
Non-Discrimination Act (HB453). The event coincided with NC Value's
Legislative Day of Action, which today focused on raising support for
the Human Life Non-Discrimination Act (HB453) in the Senate.
We were blessed to have Katie
Shaw join us from Indiana to testify at the hearing. She
is a fierce national pro-life leader born with Down syndrome. Also
joining in from Washington DC was Dr.
Tara Sander Lee, Senior Fellow and Director of
Life Sciences at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, and Sue Swayze
Liebel, the State Policy Director for Susan B Anthony List. Several
North Carolina families also joined this panel of experts in Raleigh
to share their personal stories and about their children with Down
syndrome. You can check out their NC Senate testimonies on HB453 here. Several
