The Controversial NC Abortion Bill: What You Need to Know.

A new North Carolina proposal to ban, with some exceptions, abortion after 12 weeks pregnancy is much more complicated than a simple 12-week ban. The bill contains new hoops that women seeking an abortion, and their doctors, would need to jump through, leaving questions about how the bill would actually impact abortion care in the state. The bill also mandates at least one extra doctor's visit to get an abortion, requiring that an in-person conversation occur at least 72 hours before an abortion is performed.
