I just read through the entire bill. I have many thoughts. For now, I’m walking in to my high risk OB NC clinic knowing my career will entirely change after this is passed.
Follow the thread below as I add my concerns and surprises after reading this bill 🧵

The TL;DR version is:
•12 weeks abortion legal for any reason
•Abortion legal up to 20 wks for rape/incest
•Abortion legal up to 24 weeks for “life limiting diagnoses”
•Abortion legal at any stage for mother’s life.
We should know by now it’s not that simple.

I work in high risk OB. We do not perform abortions, but we do refer. There are ab clinics around that have to stay hidden so their patients aren’t attacked nor bombarded with protestors. This is not an “abortion tolerant” state, yet NC has become a southern “sanctuary city”.

Granted, the GOP base is composed of both registered Republicans + registered unaffiliated voters who vote GOP.
But since November, the greatest # of defections from party registration has been among registered Republicans in NC's 7M voters (data courtesy of @NCSBE):
