North Carolina Senate Passes Controversial Abortion Law Amid Democratic Protests.

The North Carolina Senate passed an amendment to an unrelated House bill that changes the state's controversial abortion law, which is set to go into effect on July 1. Democrats protested the move, asking for a delay until Monday to consider the amendment, but were denied. The House must now consider the bill, and Gov. Roy Cooper would have another chance to veto it. The changes to the law come just days before a federal lawsuit challenging it is set to be heard.
