No Abortion Coverage with Taxes

The vote was tied 3 to 3 (with Webb not voting due to illness)- so for now - elective abortions are NO LONGER covered under Wake County Employee's Health Care plans.

Many thanks to all who spoke before the commissioners today, called, or emailed on this important issue. It is settled for now, but we will have to stay on top of this one in Wake County and others as well.

The room was packed out with Planned Parenthood lobbyists, ACLU attorneys, and NARAL supporters. Thankfully, a good constituency of pro-lifers showed up as well and it was fairly evenly tied in the comments.

You can view the full meeting on video by going here (you can easily fast forward to the abortion discussion once you have downloaded the video, which takes a few minutes).

Also, here are a few links of coverage:

Bishops alert about Textbook change...

Please visit the site below and sign the petition.

Bishop Peter J. Jugis of the Diocese of Charlotte and Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of the Diocese of Raleigh have issued a joint alert due to their concern about some proposed wording for a public school textbook on civic and economics.

The proposed text asserts that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that legalized abortion and struck down state and federal laws that regulated and limited access to abortion, is an example of how the Supreme Court has upheld rights against oppressive
government.

The implication of this proposed text is that opposition to Roe v. Wade is wrong.
