This year’s budget becomes law today, October 2, without Governor Cooper's signature. Among many other harmful provisions, this budget allocates over $20 million dollars to unregulated, anti-abortion so-called “Crisis Pregnancy Centers”—the most funding for CPCs in state history. We simply must elect more pro-choice, progressive women who will help stop funding these predatory, fake clinics. The bright spot in this budget is Medicaid Expansion, which Lillian's List Featured Candidates have been fighting for since 2014. This will provide healthcare access for more than 600,000 North Carolinians. Thank you to our Featured Candidates for never giving up on this fight! |
