“We thank Governor Abbott and pro-life legislators in Texas for enacting law that reveals the humanity of unborn children in the womb,” said SBA List State Policy Director Sue Liebel. “There is a groundswell of pro-life activity happening in state legislatures across the nation as lawmakers challenge the extreme status quo permitted by Roe: abortion on-demand, up until the moment of birth. Since January, 536 pro-life bills have been introduced with more than 60 signed into law – a strong rebuke of the deeply unpopular abortion agenda being pursued by the Biden-Harris administration and their allies in the abortion lobby.”  

“This is a landmark opportunity for the Supreme Court to recognize the right of states to protect unborn children from the horrors of painful late-term abortions,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Across the nation, state lawmakers acting on the will of the people have introduced 536 pro-life bills aimed at humanizing our laws and challenging the radical status quo imposed by Roe. It is time for the Supreme Court to catch up to scientific reality and the resulting consensus of the American people as expressed in elections and policy.”

“North Carolinians, like the overwhelming majority of Americans, strongly believe all babies deserve protection regardless of the circumstances of their birth. This compassionate bill simply ensures that babies born alive in failed abortions are not denied life-saving medical care,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, a North Carolina native. “The people of North Carolina, through the legislature, are sending a clear and urgent message to Governor Cooper. He must quit obstructing their will, siding with the most extreme Biden-Harris Democrats who cannot even draw a line at infanticide. We hope he will do right by his constituents, but we support a veto override if necessary.

“We thank state Sen. Joyce Krawiec, a member of our National Pro-Life Women’s Caucus, for championing this vital legislation, along with Sens. Lisa Barnes and Amy Galey, Tami Fitzgerald of NC Values Coalition, and all our local allies for their tireless advocacy for the most vulnerable.”

“We are proud to see the deeply pro-life state of North Carolina take this important step toward ending lethal discrimination against vulnerable, unborn children,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, a North Carolina native. “In North Carolina and across the nation, the people are sending a clear message to pro-abortion politicians and to the Supreme Court: the extreme status quo imposed by Roe v. Wade has been rejected. State legislators acting on their constituents’ will have introduced more than 530 pro-life bills this year alone – 61 of them enacted in law. Despite a pro-abortion administration in Washington, life is winning in America and momentum is only growing.

“We thank NC House Reps. Pat McElraft, John Bradford, Kristin Baker, and Dean Arp, as well as our good friend and advocate Tami Fitzgerald, for working to advance this humane bill. We urge the state Senate to swiftly follow suit, and Governor Cooper to heed and not block North Carolinians’ will.”
