🌱NC Lawmakers Comment On Supreme Court's Ruling + Animals In Need

Hi all. It's me, Karena Garrity, your host of the Mooresville Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town...

First, today's weather:

Humid with partial sunshine. High: 85 Low: 67.

Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. Here's a sampling of what some North Carolina lawmakers and their challengers are saying about the Supreme Court's abortion rights ruling according to the Mooresville Tribune, '"Throughout history the Court has pushed the arc of history towards justice. Today, the court has broken its sacred promise to protect the basic constitutional rights of all Americans. Tomorrow, the defense of freedom moves to the states, and I am all in."N.C. Sen. Michael Garrett, a Democrat representing District 27. "I will continue to trust women to make their own medical decisions as we fight to keep politicians out of the doctor's exam room."N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper, Democrat. "Roe v. Wade overturned. The Supreme Court just killed women."
   Scott Huffman, a Democrat running for North Carolina's Eighth Congressional District. "I am overjoyed with the decision by our Supreme Court - for decades we have been praying for a day like today and it is finally here. I have experienced the pain of abortion in my own life and know the long-term effects it can have on families."N.C. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, Republican."Despite today's win for the most vulnerable among us, more work remains to protect the lives of those who cannot defend themselves." Rep. Patrick McHenry, a Republican representing North Carolina's 10th Congressional District." Read the whole story for full statements. (Mooresville Tribune)
2. If you've been wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your household, you should check out these Mooresville area shelters for a pet you can take home.
   Across North Carolina, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home, many of whom are located in your area. Can you give a pet a home to call their own? (Patch)
