More Legislative Victories

In recent days, we have had some more legislative victories supporting North Dakotan's right to life and I wanted to share these important updates with you.

Thanks to all of those that helped us contact our legislators, SB 2030 passed and is now awaiting the Governor's signature and SCR 4002 failed.

As an update SB 2030 is described as:

A BILL for an Act to provide an appropriation to the state board of higher education for the higher education challenge matching grant program; excludes institutions that sponsor, partner with, apply for grants with, or provide a grant subaward to any person or organization that performs, or promotes the performance of, an abortion unless the abortion is necessary to prevent the death of the woman, and not participating or sponsoring any program producing, distributing, publishing, disseminating, endorsing, or approving materials of any type or from any organization, that between normal childbirth and abortion, do not give preference, encouragement, and support to normal childbirth.

On the other hand SCR 4002 was a resolution declaring September 23rd as Fourth Trimester day. We had opposed this bill on the grounds that it would desensitize the meaning of life- trimesters in pregnancy being important to birth.

Thank you for all of your help in making sure that these bills reached the outcomes that we desired. With your help, we have been very successful in defending life and we can continue to do so in the future.
