1. NC VALUES: Thank you for showing up
in Raleigh and
helping us defend the unborn!
NC Values was blessed so many supporters from across the
state came out for our two Legislative Days of Action to support a
heartbeat bill!
Currently there are two ideas being discussed in the General
Assembly—13 weeks versus a Heartbeat bill at 6 weeks. If a 13-week
pro-life bill passes, only 13-percent of babies lives will be saved,
but with a 6 week Heartbeat bill 86 percent of babies currently being
aborted would be saved. It was wonderful meeting so many of you in
person! Thanks to all who came, and we are asking everyone to please
pray that a Heartbeat bill will be advanced. Check out some
photos from day one and
day two.
Here are several ways you can still help:
-
Pray: Continue to pray for our efforts and our
legislators. Pray that the LORD gives them courage on the issue, and a
clear conscience.
-
Contact: If you have a minute to spare, would you
email or call your legislator with
our easy and time-saving click-to-contact
tool? We’ve heard from legislators directly
that they are receiving a good number of your calls and emails. Keep
it up!
-
Donate: If you appreciate the work NC Values does
putting these types of pro-life tools and events together, would you
consider making a needed donation of any
amount towards sustaining our efforts?
-
Share: We created this graphic to put the fight for a
Heartbeat bill in perspective. Would you consider sharing it
online?
Thank you!
2. WUNC: NC House Republicans talk privately on
abortion
"North Carolina House Republicans met privately
Tuesday to discuss where they stand on additional abortion
restrictions, according to the chamber's top official.
But Speaker Tim Moore cautioned against expecting quick movement
within the General Assembly among Republicans interested in narrowing
further when abortions are permitted in the state."
"The North Carolina Values Coalition, which led Tuesday's
lobbying effort, said it expected more allies to visit Raleigh on
Wednesday. 'I think you will see a continued push from people around
the state, from voters who have voted for people who have campaigned
as being pro-life,' coalition executive director Tami Fitzgerald told
The News & Observer of Raleigh. 'They’re going to hold those
people accountable for how they campaigned.'"

4. FOX NEWS: 11-year-old rips sexually explicit
material in his Maine middle school: 'The librarian asked if I wanted
more'
"An 11-year-old in Maine spoke out against 'pornographic'
content in his middle school and wants the administrators to be
prosecuted.
Knox Zajac, an 11–year-old sixth grader, spoke up at a school
board meeting last week to read aloud from the book 'Nick and Charlie'
that he had checked out of his school’s library. The age advisory in
this book is 14 years of age and older.
'Nick and Charlie,' written by Alice Oseman, begins with two
early teen boys stealing wine from their parents and proceeding to
experiment sexually with one another."

5. NBC NEWS: Mississippi governor signs bill banning
transgender health care for minors
"Mississippi on Tuesday became the seventh state to enact a
restriction on certain transition-related health care for minors.
Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, said he signed the bill,
which bars puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery for minors,
because 'there is a dangerous movement spreading across America
today.'
'It’s advancing under the guise of a false ideology, and
pseudo science is being pushed onto our children through radical
activist, social media and online influencers, and it’s trying to
convince our children that they are in the wrong body,' Reeves said at
a news conference Tuesday, after he signed the bill. 'This dangerous
movement attempts to convince these children that they’re just a
surgery away from happiness. It threatens our children’s innocence,
and it threatens their health.'"

In addition, just yesterday Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed
legislation restricting drag shows and banning gender transition
treatments for minors. Tennessee becomes the first
state to ban drag shows on public property and near schools.
Weekly Prayer: Life
LORD, we recognize that you are Sovereign over all creation. We
recognize you made man from the dust, and in your mercy, you crowned
creation with man and woman made in your image. What a wonder it is
that you would bestow upon us this blessing and responsibility!
LORD, may we not take this blessing for granted. We pray that
this great responsibility and dignity may motivate us to love You, our
neighbors, and our families more. LORD, may we as a culture truly see
and believe that children are a blessing from the LORD—born or unborn;
able or disabled. All children should have an opportunity to
experience the liberty of life. LORD, make us your vehicle to change
our culture into one that cherishes and protects life. Keep at the
forefront of our minds our responsibilities to respect, cherish, and
serve the youngest and oldest in our society.
"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, 'Who,
then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' He called a little
child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: 'Truly I
tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly
position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And
whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone
causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it
would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their
neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.'" (Matthew
18:1-6)
Amen
