Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Paul 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.

Review Bill

“I believe birth begins at conception. I do realize the political realities may not accommodate that belief in law, and most Right To Life organizations are promoting a heartbeat bill. I can support a heartbeat bill, and believe that we should do more to ensure that pregnant women who choose life will be supported. Adoption must become less burdensome in NC.”
