		<description><![CDATA[North Carolina is the only state in the South without an amendment defining marriage the way God does: The union between one man and one woman.

In the past, efforts to pass an amendment failed largely because of the Democrat-dominated state legislature. However, after the 2010 election cycle, the both the state house and senate are now controlled by Republicans, who have been working to pass a marriage amendment. On September 12, the North Carolina House of Representatives passed a measure that will put a marriage amendment on a ballot to be approved by the voters of the state.]]></description>

An article from <em>The Raleigh News &#38; Observer</em> chronicles the often-losing battle pro-family legislators have waged over the past decade for passage of a marriage amendment. Each year, the proposals inevitably fail at the hands of state liberals who work to kill any marriage amendment efforts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Residents across the state of North Carolina are voicing their opposition to a congressional proposal that would use taxpayer money to pay for abortions under the guise of so-called health care "reform".  Pro-family North Carolinians are signing Family Policy Network's petition urging both houses of Congress and President Obama to reject health care "reform" that provides universal abortion funding on the backs of American taxpayers.

Many North Carolinians who signed the petition opposing taxpayer-funded abortion added their own comments to the statement above. Here is a sampling of those comments:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Legislation designed to combat bullying in schools is dead, according to a state senator who worked on the proposal.

The Senate had the bill, which would have listed gay students as potential harassment targets, on its list of issues to vote on Thursday. But the measure was sent back to committee, where it is likely to stay as the legislature works to finish this year's session.]]></description>

That's after the Food and Drug Administration approved over the counter sales last year. National Abortion Rights Action League's (NARAL) North Carolina affiliate conducted the survey, in which it claims 40 percent of all pharmacies in the state don't carry the Plan B drug, which can cause an abortion in some circumstances.]]></description>

		<title>NC Judge Allows Muslims to Swear on Quran Instead of Bible</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<strong>[FPN] </strong>- A Wake County judge has ruled that Muslims in North Carolina can now use the Quran in swearing their courtroom oaths. The lawsuit, which was filed by the ACLU of North Carolina, challenged a state policy which only allowed the Bible to be used for swearing oaths. The ACLU lawsuit aruged the policy was unconstitutional because it promoted Christianity over other religions.

Family Policy Network President Joe Glover reacted to the ruling by saying, "If all world religions shared basic tenets like integrity and truthfulness, Judge Ridgeway's decision would make sense; however, the Quran doesn't hold honesty in the high regard that the Bible does."]]></description>
