111921 torch1CHARLOTTE — The National “See Me Now” Bus Tour sponsored by Students For Life made a stop Nov. 13 at First Baptist Church near uptown and also near UNC-Charlotte.

The tour began Nov. 6 in Jackson, Miss. It will make stops in 15 cities and culminate Dec. 1 in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

That day is when the U.S. 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.

The “See Me Now” tour is a call to action for college campuses and communities to realize each child in the womb is deserving of the full protection of the law.

At every stop, Students For Life and their partners are educating people about the reality of abortion and the humanity of the child in the womb.

Debbie Capen, MiraVia’s executive director, and Emily Smith, former resident at MiraVia and current residential supervisor at the college maternity center, spoke at the Charlotte event. MiraVia is non-profit charity which helps abortion-vulnerable women choose life and build independent, healthy lives for themselves and their children.
