CHARLOTTE — Students for Life of America’s National “See Me Now Bus Tour” will roll into Charlotte Saturday, Nov. 13, and everyone is invited to come out and show their support.
The bus tour is starting Nov. 6 in Jackson, Miss., and traveling to cities in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia before ending Wednesday, Dec. 1, outside the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.
On that day, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, a case stemming from Mississippi passing a law to ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Legal experts believe how the Supreme Court rules on this case will very likely determine if states will be allowed to enforce abortion restrictions before viability for the first time since the Roe v. Wade decision and finally confront its flawed legal framework. At issue are limits on abortion before a baby can live outside the womb – along with the future of Roe v. Wade itself.
The National “See Me Now Bus Tour” will be a call to action for campuses and communities to wake up and realize that the time is now to see each precious child in the womb as deserving of the full protection of the law.
During its journey through North Carolina, the Students for Life bus will arrive at 1 p.m. at Romare Bearden Park, located at 300 S. Church St. in uptown Charlotte.
At each of the “See Me Now” tour stops, attendees will hear from prominent local voices and legislative leaders along with national leaders, and a live ultrasound will illustrate the humanity of people not yet born.
“The pro-life generation will make an historic pilgrimage from Jackson, Mississippi, to Washington D.C., where we have marched, prayed, rallied, lobbied and cried out on behalf of mothers and their preborn children for almost 50 years,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins in a statement. “We will call on our nation’s leaders and citizens to ‘See Me Now,’ all of the beauty of life from conception to natural death. The Constitution doesn’t have ‘abortion’ written in invisible ink, scratched in the margins. We must end the legal farce that killing 62 million preborn infants is a ‘right’ that must continue rather than the most inhumane loss of life on U.S. soil ever imagined.”
