Abortion Bans Cause Concern and Controversy in North and South Carolina

Advocates in North Carolina are intensifying their pressure campaign with protests and pleas to legislators as time runs out to convince lawmakers to withdraw support for an abortion ban recently passed by the state legislature. North Carolina’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, has vowed to veto the measure, and is expected to do so in the coming days. Although Republican lawmakers currently hold a veto-proof majority, advocates are hoping to use the time before the bill returns to the legislature to convince lawmakers to change their minds.
