1. NC VALUES: Make it
count
This year – 2022 – was the year that the tide finally turned
against the holocaust of abortion. It was the year that the US Supreme
Court finally decimated the utterly nonsensical and unconstitutional
decision of Roe v. Wade and reaffirmed the authority of the people’s
elected representatives (not the courts) to make laws concerning the
protection of the preborn.
Looking ahead, our state is at a crossroads: will North
Carolina become a safe haven for precious babies in the womb, or the
abortion capitol of the South? Will Planned Parenthood be proven right
that “all roads lead to North Carolina?”
Or will you and I make sure that our state passes the
strongest possible protections for the unborn – and get it done as
soon as possible?

2. WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Planned Parenthood and
other groups withdraw North Carolina
lawsuit
"Planned Parenthood South Atlantic
and others recently withdrew a lawsuit challenging five North Carolina
abortion statutes, though the voluntary dismissal allows them to
refile at any time.
Planned Parenthood filed the
voluntary dismissal without prejudice last week, ending its legal
challenge to five laws approved by the Legislature more than a decade
ago to protect unborn children.
Alliance Defending Freedom, a
nonprofit legal organization that represented North Carolina
lawmakers, hailed the filing as 'a victory for mothers and unborn
children in North Carolina.'"

School choice in N.C. set to continue significant growth in
2023
“The rapid growth of school choice options brought on by the
pandemic shows no signs of letting up as the calendar turns over to
2023.
Recent statistics show that for the 2021-2022 school year,
there were 115,311 students enrolled in K-12 private schools, 160,528
in homeschools, and another 132,909 enrolled in public charter
schools. Part of what’s fed the increase in parents looking for
alternatives is the fact that many private schools remained opened
during the COVID-19 pandemic, while state and local government forced
traditional public school classrooms to close.”

4. CAROLINA JOURNAL:
Voters set new course for N.C. Supreme
Court
“The N.C. Supreme Court will look much different in 2023.
Voters decided in November to oust one incumbent Democrat from the
state’s highest court. Voters also replaced a retiring Democrat with a
Republican. The end result is a shift in the court’s partisan control.
After six years of dominance by Democrats, including a 4-3
Democratic court for the past two years, the N.C. Supreme Court that
begins work in January will feature a 5-2 Republican majority.
That partisan shift could affect major cases involving
election maps, voting rules, school funding, and parental school
choice.”

5. NORTH STATE
JOURNAL: HARSANYI: Why the redefinition of the word ‘woman’
matters
“Samuel Johnson’s ‘Dictionary of the English Language,’ first
published in 1755, defines the word ‘woman’ as ‘the female of the
human race.’ And until October 2022, the word ‘woman’ was still
defined as ‘an adult female human being’ in the Cambridge Dictionary.
What transpired on the topic during the intervening 267 years? Not
much. Science confirmed what men and women have known since Adam and
Eve began talking past each other — not only do the sexes have
immutable physiological differences, down to their genetic matter, but
they observe, act and think differently as well.”

Weekly Prayer: NC
Legislators
LORD, you also have instructed us to pray for our governing
officials, and we come to you in the spirit of this petition. We pray
for our national government and its executive, legislative, and
judicial servants. May they indeed be servants unto the people, and
govern in a manner that protects liberty and virtue. In the same
spirit, we pray for public servants across our state and local
governments. May they all heed your mandate in Romans 13:4 to be in
positions of authority as "God's servant" and for the "good" of the
public. They govern in what we confess are difficult times. May they
plead with you to give them wisdom, and may your grace to govern
wisely be poured out on them.
Protect us from the oppression and loss of freedoms that other
countries have experienced, and help us to value and preserve freedom,
which we know comes only from You.
"I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have
heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I
will send you back to Egypt." Acts 7:34 (God's words to Moses)
Amen
