Legislative Alert: Contact Governor Perdue NOW! Ask her to sign HB 854!

June 23, 2011

In a great victory for prolife supporters, HB 854-Abortion-Woman's Right to Know Act, passed the NC General Assembly with wonderful support. Now, this important measure, one that will save the lives of almost 3,000 unborn children each year, awaits action from Governor Beverly Perdue. Please contact her office and let them know that you support HB 854 and ask her to sign the bill.

Contact Governor Perdue NOW!

HB 854, will require all doctors who perform abortions to provide specific information to the women who are making the irreversible decision to end the life of their unborn child.

The bill requires a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion could be performed in North Carolina. That time period would start after the woman is provided with the following information:

  • The medical risks associated with the procedure
  • The psychological risks
  • The probable gestational age of the unborn child
  • Information about the opportunity to view an ultrasound
  • The name of the physician who will perform the abortion
  • Whether the abortionist has malpractice liability insurance
The location of the hospital that offers obstetrical or gynecological care within 30 miles, should hospitalization be necessary, and if the abortionist has clinical privileges there.

The Governor has until Monday, June 27 to take action on the bill, or it becomes law without her signature. Please contact her office today. We recommend sending an email and making a call. There are several phone numbers and offices, so if you can't get through on one, try another that is listed. The link below will take you to the contact page on her website.

Please contact Governor Perdue NOW and ask her to SUPPORT HB 854-Abortion-Woman's Right to Know Act.

Thank you for your help!
