A recent article in the Asheville Tribune has brought widespread attention to a contentious North Carolina law that has raised serious concerns about parental rights. The story, which our organization contributed to, has resonated with many, leading to an unprecedented spike in both print sales and online engagement.

Key Points from the Asheville Tribune:

Asheville – The idea of a young child independently making decisions about their medical care may seem far-fetched, but it’s a reality in North Carolina today. A loophole in the Parents’ Bill of Rights (PBR), enacted in August 2023, undermines parental authority by allowing children, from infancy to age eighteen, to choose medical treatments without parental consent or even their knowledge. This issue is currently under heated discussion in the NC House and Senate, with legislators racing to close this loophole before the legislative session concludes.

Our involvement in this crucial discussion underscores our commitment to safeguarding parental rights. We will continue to monitor and advocate for changes to this law, ensuring that parents remain central to decisions about their children’s health.
