North Carolina Adopts 12-Week Abortion Ban

North Carolina's governor tried to stop a bill that bans most abortions after 12 weeks from becoming law. But state lawmakers fought back and they won last night. The state's Republican led house vetoed of the governor. They voted along party lines to override democratic. Governor Roy Cooper's veto. The bill known as the care for women, Children and families act bans any doctor from performing an abortion after the 12th week of pregnancy. It provides exceptions for rape, incest and to spare the life of the pregnant person right now. Abortion is legal in the state up to 20 weeks. But all of that changes come July 1st when this new law goes into effect.
