The Senate passed Ethen’s Law with support from all but four senators to ensure the rights of the most innocent victims, unborn children. After years of failed attempts of passing Ethen’s law under Democratic leadership, the newly Republican controlled Senate voted overwhelmingly to protect the lives of unborn victims of crime. Even after various attempts by Democrats to create protections for criminals who kill unborn children, the Republican Senate showed unification to protect the sanctity of innocent life. Senator Meredith believes this crucial victory reflects the people of North Carolina’s belief that “there is no exception to the sanctity of life”.
