Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Howard how important abortion rights are to you:

This legislator has made their anti-choice position clear. They intend to enact laws that would further limit access to abortion.

What to say:

Call your legislator to share how important abortion rights are to you. While you're on the phone, try to gain a deeper understanding of their exact position.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why abortion rights are important to you.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask which abortion restrictions they are pushing for.

“Q: Should North Carolina change its abortion laws? How? A: There should be no restrictions on abortion. Q: Please add anything else voters should know about your position on the legality or availability of abortion in North Carolina. A: The attack on women’s rights by the right will have a horrific impact on the ability of women to access health care and obtain medications. The impact would be even deeper for women of color, women who live in rural areas, and women in low-income households.”
