2012 Democratic National Convention
Since 2004, Democrats For Life of America has represented itself at the National Democratic Convention. In September, we will join our fellow Democrats in North Carolina at the 2012 Democratic Convention to extol the importance of a big tent party.
It is imperative that the big tent include those who support life. If we, as a Party, hesitate to embrace those who oppose abortion, it equates to lost votes and lost opportunities to pass legislation to protect workers’ rights, environmental protection, affordable health care and child care and other legislation that represents our Democratic Values.
We hope that you will join us in Charlotte , North Carolina for a Town Hall Meeting and reception for pro-life Democrats. Our North Carolina Chapter, lead by Eva Ritchey is looking forward to welcoming you so please put this on your calendar and join us during the week of September 3, 2012.
We cannot give up our goal and our fight to push our Party toward a Whole Life position that embraces protection for life from conception to natural death. Please join us in Charlotte.

It's Time to Choose Life
The Democratic Party's strong commitment to human rights leads naturally to a pro-life position. Just as we care about the welfare of children, the disabled, and the elderly, we care about unborn children and their mothers. The Democratic Party was for years the defender of the powerless and spoke for the voiceless. Democrats work to find lasting solutions for women and families who face the choice of abortion because often that choice comes from desperation. As supporters of the party of tolerance and free speech, we are confident that our pro-life voice within the party will be respected. As pro-life Democrats who care about our party, we choose to work within the party to foster respect for all human life, from beginning of life to natural death. This includes, but is not limited to, opposition to abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia. You can be pro-life and a Democrat. In fact, it is essential to the pro-life movement and to the Democratic Party that Democrats who are pro-life stay in the party and make their voices heard. We hope you will join us.
North Carolina Choose Life Plate Backers Unveil New Design, May Sue if State Denies Tag Again

This is the newly designed NC Choose Life License Plate. You cannot purchase one yet because the NC Choose Life License Plate is blockaded in the Rules Committee of our Legislature. It has been in the Legislature for 8 years. There are more than 130 approved license plates in North Carolina. The sale of each Choose Life plate will give $15 to pregnancy care centers. Last year, the 85 pregnancy care centers served over 46,000 women and men in North Carolina at no taxpayer expense.

CPCF Unveils Billboard Campaign for the Choose Life License Plate.
You can contribute for more of these billboards through www.NCChoose-Life.org. You can also get flyers, posters and petitions through this website. Will you help?
The Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship has placed a billboard to inform the citizens of North Carolina about the Choose Life license plate issue. The billboard features a picture of the proposed NC Choose Life license plate along with the message, "Why Not, NC?" and a link to the NC Choose Life internet site (ncchoose-life.org) for an online petition and additional information. The billboard is located on I-40, 2.4 miles west of Morganton for west bound traffic. The billboard has been leased to the Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship by Creative Sign Service, Inc. (Shelby, NC) for three months at no charge. CPCF plans to promote more billboards in the state to educate the public on this issue. For eight years, Representative Mitch Gillespie has introduced the Choose Life license plate in the NC House of Representatives without success.
