The Fate of Abortion Rights in North Carolina Hangs on a Single Vote.

TL;DR Summary
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill banning most abortions after 12 weeks, passed by the state's Republican supermajority. To prevent the legislature from using its razor-thin supermajority to override his veto, Cooper is asking voters to pressure Republican lawmakers. Convincing just one legislator will keep the state's current abortion law, allowing it up to 20 weeks, in place. The override vote would be a consequential early test of the Republicans' new, slim supermajority.
