The Impact of North Carolina's Abortion Laws on Democrats and Women.

North Carolina Republicans passed a controversial new abortion ban, sharpening the stakes for next year’s elections and giving Democrats new impetus to invest up and down the North Carolina ballot. President Joe Biden’s campaign is already drawing up plans to focus on the ban, which outlaws most abortions after 12 weeks, in its bid to win a state last captured by a Democratic presidential candidate in 2008. The shock waves from the brief but fierce abortion fight are also expected to reach into next year’s races for governor, state attorney general and both legislative chambers.
