Let’s meet

Mike Clampitt

State Representative,
North Carolina House District 119

Republican

The proof:

Mike sponsored a bill establishing that the right to life and equal protection begins at the moment of fertilization, which would effectively ban abortion at any time. The bill includes the provision that this definition of life not be read as banning IVF or birth control.

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Mike they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

Clampitt explained that he was born to a single mother and didn’t meet his father until he was 50 years old. “My position on right-to-life is pretty significant,” he said. “I grew up in poverty-stricken Southern Appalachia with a single parent. Mom could have made different decision, but she didn’t and I’m appreciative to my mom. Everybody only has one mother. Always be good to your mother.” In 2017, Clampitt was a co-sponsor of H163 , titled the “Right to Life at Conception Act,” which if passed would have declared that the right to life was vested in each human being from the moment of fertilization.
