But that depends on the outcome of November’s election.
Republican leaders at the statehouse have already said they’ll introduce bills to totally ban abortion in the 2023 session. The Washington Post is tracking the bans and restrictions nationwide, this page lays it all out clearly.
This is a 5-alarm fire!
We can’t vote out the Supreme Court justices who have shown their complete disregard for women’s lives and safety, but we can take action NOW to prevent a Republican supermajority at the NC General Assembly. Because let’s be honest – there’s only one political party engineering coerced pregnancy and voter disenfranchisement in this country. NOW is non-partisan, but we support those candidates that support our issues, and frankly the only two pro-choice Republicans are in Alaska and Maine.
PRIORITY ACTION NOW
If you have some extra cash, please contribute to pro-choice, pro-woman candidates. Even a $5 or $10 recurring monthly donation will help them. If you don’t have cash, please donate your time – join a phone bank, write a letter to the editor on their behalf, help get out the vote. Here’s a comment this weekend from U.S. Senate candidate Cheri Beasley, a National NOW-PAC endorsed candidate:
I promise that if you help me flip this seat, I will not hesitate to cast the deciding vote to end the filibuster and codify abortion rights into law.”
