Greetings Friend,

BREAKING: Earlier today, the NC Senate joined the House in passing the Human Life Non-Discrimination Act (HB453). It now heads to Governor Cooper's desk before it can become law.

The Human Life Non-Discrimination Act (HB453) prohibits abortions based on race and/or the prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. “All babies−born and unborn− have intrinsic dignity and worth and should be protected from the practice of eugenic abortion in North Carolina,” according to Primary Bill Sponsor, Representative Pat McElraft. We're grateful for bill sponsors like Rep. McElraft, Arp, Bradford, & Baker in the House; and Sen. Krawiec, Galey, and Barnes in the Senate. 

This bill has brought some special moments to the NC General Assembly, as legislators have heard from courageous families and children who have Down syndrome.  They saw firsthand the smiles, hugs, ideas, abilities, and potential in each of God's image-bearers.  We want to thank these families for their sacrifices and advocacy--this has been a team effort!

We have been so grateful for the role all of you have played in getting the bill this far. Would you consider joining us in praying that governor Cooper will have compassion on the unborn and sign this bill into law, and that if he doesn’t, our legislators will be encouraged to stand strong and override his veto?

If you're grateful to the Republicans and Democrats who voted for the Human Life Non-Discrimination Act (HB453), would you take a minute to send them a quick thank you with our click-to-contact tool?

In gratitude,
