Giant steps backward, baby steps forward. HB 879 passes in NC is first sex ed success |
|
From a Planned Parenthood email:
Dear xxxxx,
We don't know if it was the 10,000 E-mails you sent, the thousands of phone calls you made, or the dozens of you who showed up at the hearings, but one way or another YOU made it happen!
Today, May 1, the House Health Committee passed HB 879 -- Modify School Health Education Program!
For the first time in a decade, a bill to bring REAL Sex Education to North Carolina Students is making progress in the House. After the meeting we heard reports from the committee members that they were overwhelmed by the number of phone calls and E-mails they received in support of this essential legislation.
THANK YOU for making today a success.
However, today was only the first step in the journey that a bill takes to become a law. In the coming weeks as this bill is heard elsewhere, we will need the same support and enthusiasm you showed for this first hearing! We know you can do it!
What comes next?
Today the health committee referred HB 879 to an Education Subcommittee, who will review it and make a recommendation to the House. If the committee's recommendation is favorable, the full House of Representatives will decide on this bill before the end of the month.
Some time in the next week we will ask you to contact the Education Subcommittee. As soon as we find out when this bill is scheduled, we will ask you to attend. Look for E-mail from us, and take action whenever and however you can.
House Bill 879 is YOUR Sex Ed bill and you guaranteed its passage through today's tough health committee meeting. With your continuing hard work, North Carolina students will almost surely get the education they need and the information the deserve to make healthy, lifelong choices about their lives and their bodies!

1. Planned Parenthood Truck |
|
in the Mall yesterday. It was brightly colored with their name and local telephone number boldly painted on the side. They were parked giving out free information to anyone who wished to stop by looking for information on all matters concerning reproductive questions and services.
I have lived in this town for over 20 years and have never seen this before. This is absolutely GREAT. Don't want until women come to you, GO TO THEM.
Anyone ever see this before?
