URGENT! SIGN NOW: Protect abortion care in NC

Right now N.C. lawmakers are moving to restrict access to abortion care with a bill that would ban abortion beginning at twelve weeks. We must take action NOW to fight for access to the full range of reproductive healthcare, including abortion care!

Six in ten people who have abortions are moms, and moms want abortion care to be accessible to all who need it. When people can make decisions that are best for their lives, families thrive and we build communities where each of us can participate with dignity and equality. Throughout pregnancy, people should be able to make personal decisions that are best for their own circumstances and get the care they need, including abortion care.

Without question, low-income women, women of color, young and immigrant women, rural women, people with disabilities and those who are LGBTQ+ will suffer the most if North Carolina moves to ban or severely restrict access to abortion care. It will have devastating health and economic consequences and return us to the days when pregnant people suffer and die without the health care they need.

In addition, as one of the few southeastern states that still has abortion care available, we owe it to our friends and neighbors to protect abortion access.

The majority of North Carolinians don't support further abortion restrictions, and instead expect the legislature to focus on issues like improving maternal health care, paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and other measures that support healthy children and families.

As your constituent and one of over 47,000 MomsRising members across North Carolina, I urge you to protect access to the full range of reproductive healthcare, including abortion care. The majority of North Carolinians support abortion access and expect the legislature to instead focus on issues like improving maternal health care, paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and other measures that support healthy children and families. When people can make decisions that are best for their lives, families thrive and we build communities where each of us can participate with dignity and equality. Throughout pregnancy, people should be able to make personal decisions that are best for their own circumstances and get the care they need, including abortion care. A person’s health, not politics, should guide important medical decisions at all stages of pregnancy. This is particularly true in North Carolina where our state already has one of the worst maternal and infant mortality rates in the nation, making this a dangerous place to give birth, especially for people of color and Black women in particular who are nearly twice as likely to die due to pregnancy-related issues than white women in our state. The bottom line is that by banning abortion, the government would force people into untenable situations with serious consequences for their health, their families, their lives, and their futures. I urge you to protect our access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion care, and ensure that these decisions that deeply affect the lives of NC families are made with transparency and opportunity for public comment. Sincerely,
