The NCGOP is about to drop a “consensus” bill to ban #abortion after 12 weeks. Most abortions happen before 12 weeks - but people seek abortions after that for valid reasons. They deserve healthcare. Banning abortion at 12 weeks is not the consensus of North Carolinians. #ncpol
People reference the fact that 93% of abortions happen in first 13 weeks as a talking point about how 12 week bans aren’t harmful because they don’t affect many people. But the people they do affect are real people with agency and complicated lives. cdc.gov/reproductivehe…
That statistic indicates that there really isn’t this big problem of many people getting abortions very late in pregnancy, despite what you hear some conservatives say. This is a manufactured problem, and there are other important policy issues more deserving of attention.
Here is a link to livestream the press conference to announce the ban. North Carolinians should watch this process unfold and demand accountability. Will there be open debate and discussion of what this bill would do? ncleg.gov/Audio/Press
