North Carolina governor vetoes abortion limits, launches override showdown

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — In front of an exuberant crowd, North Carolina’s Democratic governor vetoed legislation Saturday that would have banned nearly all abortions in his state after 12 weeks of pregnancy. “If just one Republican in either the House or the Senate keeps a campaign promise to protect women’s reproductive health, we can stop this ban.” Andrea Long, a 42-year-old mother of three from Cary, said she was honored be part of the “electric” crowd on what she called a “historic day for freedom” in North Carolina. Cooper has called out four GOP legislators — three House members and one senator — whom he said told voters last year that they would protect abortion access. “The way he’s been showing up in their districts and harassing their constituents, it’s disgusting,” said Wes Bryant, one of about 60 anti-abortion protesters gathered across the street from Cooper’s rally for a prayer event.
